I have some 8rd 1911 mags that came with my 2 1911s in 45acp.
After some shooting to break them in and a recent gun class I know that all mags I buy in the future will probably be 7rd mags.
I had some minor mag problems towards the end of the gun class and once I got home and compared all...
I think it takes owning the lower end but still reliable stuff to really figure out what you want out of something.
My 350 dollar scope taught me a lot. Looking through some more expensive scopes over the past couple years taught me that in many cases the more expensive glass is well worth...
Good job so far folks, I knew I needed to check in here more often but time is limited.
I have talked a fair amount with one police officer over in nashville, he has his ffl and still works as a police officer as well. He is a regular guy but it is just sad to hear what he has to say about...
I aim for polite and respectful without groveling.
I have not made it to the money thread but with the way I got treated when I used to bet on horses in ohio and kentucky I just made vague answers that don't tie me down to anything.
It was a bit too common at one off track kentucky...
There is a 7+ page thread on the bull pup on the kel tec site.
There is an adjustable trigger for the longest version of the bull pup and it should drop into the other 2, lots of people are saying it is a great trigger for a bull pup but I want to see production triggers in person first...
Platform first.
Grip size, trigger, weight of an all steel firearm, easy to operate safeties, accurate, reliable, and basically it just is what I think a handgun should be.
It took me a while to get around to owning one in 45acp.
My first 45acp was a glock 36 and my first 1911 was a...
Read old posts in this section. Lots of free info and most of it is good info.
Don't get worried about finding the perfect ccw firearm the first time out. Renting stuff at the range and shooting other people's firearms is nice, but until you actually live with a firearm and see how your...
I would get the word out, older folks tend to have their information lines to get this info spread among themselves.
I also agree with trying to get the news involved but I don't know if that will go anywhere.
On another board I would give the standard SSS reply but I am not sure how that...
Cheapest is a marlin bolt action 22lr with the tube magazine, I bought it new several years ago and I can't recall what I paid for it. I am thinking around 150 or so I guess.
Most expensive is either a baer 1911 or a dsa fal and its optic on top, with the optic the fal wins without it I...
I worked in a factory about a decade ago.
They had a handbook and its "no weapons" policy was something along the lines of, "no weapons to be brought into the plant" or something like that.
As a newb I left my pocket knife in the car that first day. I did not want a weapon to be brought...
I plan to try some of the double tap 45acp ammo but I am mostly ordering the 200 grain 10mm hardcast stuff for my kimber which is my woods gun.
So those would be my two recomendations with 10mm coming first.
With a bear or any wild animal I don't consider rounds made for expansion in...
The original post talks about credit card debt, pay all debt off.
Once you do that you get to keep more of your money for spending on things you want.
If you want another gun or reloading equipment, go buy it when you can afford it. If you spent too much money on ammo already, sell it if...
boxoftruth.com is a place some folks should go to learn about not just wall penetration issues but also actual grouping of shotgun rounds and real life capabilities of shotgun stuff. Some of the posts on the shotgun are just plain comical in here.
Lever action folks are welcome to choose...
Your education has taken a lot of time and money to create.
To some extent this oppurtunity would be a similar investment, you will learn all sorts of stuff and as mentioned it looks good on that resume thing.
I do want to know if you are thinking it will pay you all sorts of money while...
I keep things the same.
I practice with what I carry.
I personally don't do well switching things around because I have to think for a split second about stuff instead of it just being reflex.
I think the barney bullet phrase just means a couple loose rounds so while they are not quick to reload they are there if you need them.
Always carry one reload and most of the time 2 reloads.
Both because of malfunctions but also because I am not going to use my ccw and wait when the...
Magazines can fail, get lost, get damaged, or just need to be removed when clearing a jam.
I carry extra mags because I don't plan to wait for the police with an empty firearm and hope the problem has been dealt with and I am now done.
Without a functioning magazine most semi-autos are...
Trigger discipline on the garden hose makes me wonder about my sanity, but I still do it.
Needed a laser pointer, for a split second I wondered about using the lasermax in my glock 20. Then reality kicked in, but for a split second I did consider it.
Needed some decent optics and wound...
More options are a good thing.
Right now I am struggling with how much stuff I am carrying right now.
I plan to swing by the gunshop this weekend and take a look at some options for carrying spare mags and flashlights and spray of some sort. As I recall someone makes a mag holder with a...
DSA fal tactical para whatever with an acog and mess of mags
les baer thunder ranch 1911 and a mess of mags
some factory ammo for both
some gun school classes for both
reloading press and supplies for both
holster and other accessories for both
A mess of mags is defined as a footlocker...
