I'm thinking you have an older model H&K, like a P9? I could shoot my P9S Target VERY WELL, and much better than I could shoot my modern H&K USP45F. I just did not like the fact I couldn't get support, or aftermarket parts for the old discontinued gun. Plus, it was a low-capacity...

Springfield's Hierarchy goes like this: M1A Basic M1A Loaded M1A National Match M1A Super Match M21 M25 Whitefeather (Carlos Hathcock ed.) The Springfield website says it has all the features of the SuperMatch, with the following barrel: 22", Twist: 1 turn in 10 inches, right hand...

I have a Springfield M21, and I was thinking about selling it to finance other purchases I'd shoot more. What would a good asking price be? It's in very good to excellent condition, hardly ever shot (that's the problem...) The scope would come off, probably. It's a Nikon Buckmaster...

I'm at work (Police), and an Officer just brought in a Cobray M-11. He asked if it was a Prohibited Weapon (Texas) or not. I stated 'no', since it's basically just a 9mm handgun. Not wanting to give ONLY a flippant answer, I cracked it open to show him the sear connect prevents it from going...

That's the problem with briefcase/purse carry. A friend of mine was walking into a busy courthouse, and when he saw the metal detectors he realized his mistake. He immediately stopped, turned around and began walking back out to the parking lot. Security stopped him in the parking lot (after...

My uncle has recently passed away, and my aunt is trying to find out how much his Ithaca 100, side-by-side double barrel shotgun is worth. He bought it new in 1981, and probably never shot it. I don't know what gauge it is, but I have my mom trying to find out. Anybody know how much it's...

You mean like this one! I must confess it has been fun having "restricted" firearms and magazines, but I can't wait for this stupid ban (not even a REAL ban, just a new production/import ban which only raises the price to play to keep 'em out of po folks hands) goes away! I mean, is this...

No such thing as a pre-ban SL8. Mine is a LE Only rifle. Yes, I'm a police officer. Department letterhead is a beautiful thing... :D

We're up 52% to 39%, and if 8% will defer to me, a policeman, then we have another 8% on our side!! :D

Maybe not a "G36", but how about a SL8 converted? Here's mine: :D :D :D :D

I like my EOTech. The sight picture is GREAT! A large (72MOA??) ring with a single 1MOA dot in the middle. The ring is perfect for fast shooting, and the 1MOA dot can really help you make precise shots at 100yds and out. The display is great, co-witnesses with AR sights, easy on-off with...

I took your advice, and got serious about my training. I shot at a local IDPA match today, and had a blast! I'm planning on going tomorrow to another match at another local range (same IDPA organization.) Once I shoot in a few of their pistol matches, I can shoot in one of their monthly 3-gun...

"OH Grand Inquisitor" [soaked with sarcasm] I have seen the light of your opinion. Tonight when I roam my city to defend its citizens, I will leave my gunbelt at home along with the rifles. In fact, what do I need of body armor if I pose no threat to evil-doers? When called upon by the...

So, I am at a crossroads... I am sick of having SO many different magazines around the house, and trying to keep up with all of them. In addition, I'm trying to simplify my gear prep, and trying to keep up with proprietary gear for each handgun/rifle is getting ANNOYING! So- I've decided...

I understand your sadness. I originally bought a Trijicon Reflex for my rifle, then when faced with the facts about it "washing out" in bright lights, I took it right back to the store and swapped it for an EOTech. I like the EOTech, but I like the idea of no batteries better. Oh well...

I carry both rifles because policy demands it. The Chief worked hard to get us these rifles, and so he wants one in EVERY squad, whether or not we carry an additional one ourselves. Whatever, it's not like it takes up much space... I have to respectfully disagree with those offering up a...

Hey Art- was that a question to me, or to those bringing up the effectiveness of the Mini-14? My department issues the Mini as the standard patrol rifle. I don't personally have a problem with it, except that I prefer the AR platform. My department issues the S&W 5906 as the standard...

I've heard the comments about the Bushy match trigger. I just got a RRA 2-stage for my Bushy 20" gov't, and it is very nice. The reset on the RRA trigger isn't anything to speak of, as compared to the Bushy trigger which is truly awesome. However, tons of people say the AR platform is...

I am a Police Officer for a mid-size suburb of Dallas. Not one of the affluent suburbs, but not a rat-hole either. My department issues Mini-14s (stainless Gov't models) with two 20rd mags to each officer. I am also authorized to carry a personally-owned rifle in my squad car, if I so...

Trunk of my squad car (personally assigned, I drive it home with me): Bushy AR and a Mini-14 (Bushy is mine, the Mini is the department's.) Both are kept with a 30/20 rd mag in the rifle, unchambered, with extra mags in the soft case. Extra AR mags (6) in my Tac Vest which is also in the...
