    Should i trade my cz-75 for a glock 17?

    I would make the trade. I've had several CZ-pattern pistols, and I could never keep them running reliably. -C

    Which sight should I get for my AR-15

    The Aimpoint is more durable, has a better control layout, and has much, much better battery life. The EOTech has the better reticle options, and the larger eye box makes it easier and faster to hit with, especially from unusual positions. If I were kicking down doors and killing bad guys in...

    At what point would you not buy locally?

    I've never bought a gun locally. I would describe my local gun dealers as ignorant and surly, but I don't want to dwell on their most positive attributes... I have a good relationship with a nearby part-time gunsmith and FFL holder. I find the guns I want online, and he facilitates the...

    KAC triple tap muzzlebreak: why so much $?

    The KAC Triple Tap is made of Inconel 718. It's a very expensive material, and very difficult to machine. -C

    Let the AK go for an AR?

    You know, I hear about these 1MOA AKs quite often. I've never actually seen one at the range, though. So let's theorize that we can get an AK-platform rifle that will consistently hold inside 2MOA out to 400 yards. While it would be better than a sharp stick, it would still be inferior to...

    Does M-Pro 7 copper remover work for anyone?

    M-Pro 7 Bore Gel definitely does remove copper, I have a trash can full of blue/green patches to prove it. I can't say how well it works compared to Sweets, KG12, or what have you. -C

    Remington 1100 23 inch 3 gun barrel ?

    Most (Tac Optics) 3gun shooters run a 20"-24" barrel, mostly for the flush 8-9rd. magazine tube. I don't think that barrel length has anything to do with the gas system on the Remington 1100. Don't quote me on that, tho. -C

    Let the AK go for an AR?

    I wish I had seen this thread earlier. To the OP - I've been shooting 3-gun at the national level for six years. The vast majority of the winning shooters in every division use an AR-pattern rifle. I've never seen an AK-pattern shooter place well (inside the top 20) in a major 3-gun match...

    Advice to new CCW holders: Part 2 - Carry like a pro

    Bubba, you're making a lot of assertions in this thread, but not providing a lot of data. Why is it 'not remotely the same thing?' -C

    VERY defective new Ruger and disappointing customer service!

    Okay, that's more than enough of that. -C

    Advice to new CCW holders: Part 2 - Carry like a pro

    Uh, no. One of my regular drills is to load my spare magazines with a random number of cartridges (or have a buddy load my magazines for me,) then shoot 3-round strings from the holster until the gun goes empty. My reload times for such an unexpected emergency reload average around 1.8...

    Precision Rifle range membership question

    Taliv, For what you describe, I'd pay anything up to ~$500/year, maybe a bit more, but with a few caeveats. - The ranges need to be open and available during daylight hours, say 8-7 or so. I have no problem with driving two hours to the range, but if I do, I'm going to spend the bulk of the...

    Bad day at the range.

    I've had bad days at the range. It happens. If you want to improve as a shooter, you have to learn to deal with them. If the bad day is because I'm performing poorly on a particular drill or skillset, then I usually spend some extra time working on that drill. For instance, the other day I...

    Processed 5.56x44 Brass?

    I'm looking to order a few thousand processed 5.56x45 cases. By processed, I mean cleaned, deprimed, primer pocket swaged or reamed, resized to SAMMI spec, trimmed to 1.750", and chamfered/deburred. I'm open to purchasing cases, or sending a bunch of mine in for processing, depending on...

    Indoor Ranges

    I shoot at the best indoor range in the country, maybe the world - the NRA HQ range in Fairfax, VA. :) 15 lanes, 50 yards, allows anything short of a .50BMG. Each lane has a programmable turning target system. Roomy shooting boxes with armored glass dividers. Excellent ventilation and...

    JP Enterprises CTR 02 review

    The comp actually isn't built into the barrel - it's threaded on. But it sure looks like a single piece, doesn't it? ;) -C

    How many of you have bought identical "spares" of your favourite handgun?

    Not yet, for the one I'm currently running. But I have spares for most of the pistols I've used in the past. If my main competition gun breaks, I don't want to be sidelined for a month while I order a new pistol, wait for it to ship, get it set up how I like, test it for reliability, et...

    Acceptable level of reliability

    http://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?9-2-000-Round-Challenge I want my competition and defensive guns to get through the 2000 Round Challenge without any malfunctions. That should be a pretty easy standard for a quality pistol - I have three from different manufacturers that have managed...
