Got this very recently...still considering that Saiga being sold in the classified section but I couldn't resist this. Looking into a UH1 or XPS as well. Anyone used both?

Also a couple of SAFE firearms - that's a 10/30 HexMag in case anyone was wondering...

Needed some more mags for my G17 for competition.

Figured I would give the magpul ones a try, better price than the glock brand glockazine, so I got 3 for what I would have payed for 2, I've heard mixed reviews so figured I'll see for myself, since I want to eventually have about 15-20 competition mags.

I still keep hearing mixed reviews, but a guy that shot with my group last match used them with zero issues, and they arent going to be used for anything other than at the range so I figured for the price I'll see for myself

I can agree with that! I got them as a cheaper route til (when and if) Ruger comes out with a mag-well for the S&W M&P as I want to pair it with that pistol as I have 12 factory mags.

The other day I wanted to check my RMR zero so I ran to one of the local shops and the only 9mm they had in stock was these blazer 147g. I was like what ever let me get a box (I wanted 124s but 147g would work)

Yo they legit charged $18 a box of 50

Jesus 30 for a box of 50? No thank you especially white box... but I'm looking at that one sweet website that may hook us up in NY for ammo and they have the blazer for less than 9 for a box of 50.

And sadly I wont be able to make it to that one

I paid $180 per 1000 plus tax. Hope to try them out this weekend.
I thought that $30 per 50 was crazy. I normally don’t look for 147gr but I have read that the 147 recoil less so I hope it helps my wife and I at gssf. The plan is to practice with 1500 rounds this week before the match. Are you going to do the pine city match?

I know the orginal gen 1s had a lot of issues. But I see even zev is using them as their magazines for their oz9 or whatever their not glock glock is called so I figure they should be just fine

Standard pressure vs +p makes more of a difference. For low recoil the standard pressure 115gr kick the least. I don't notice an appreciable difference between 124gr and 147gr frankly. Keep in mind that the Winchester white box 124gr stuff can be loaded to NATO specs (it will say NATO on the box) which is basically a +p load. I like it for training as it duplicates the feel of my carry ammo. I wouldn't use it for a 500 round blasting session at the range though.

It’s 100 rounds per division, that does not include reshoot ammo and Barney mag. I bring 500 rounds for the two divisions my wife and I shoot. I may bring more cause I have ammo to spare at the moment.

I shot 124gr at my last range session.....I did not notice a difference between the 115 and 124. I did read that 147gr can have less recoil but I did not do a lot of research. I’ll find out this weekend but I need to buy some 115gr and do a side by side.

Picked up this CM40 at auction . My son just accepted his first police job and I wanted to get him his first off duty carry piece.. I'm not really sure I like it but the money was right and it's always fun bidding on guns while having a drink at home.. I'll most likely give it to him and try talking him into not firing it and trade up for the Sig p365.

Ok so not really what I wanted.. Really wanted to use an Aero, called a local gun shop (guys that worked on my Glock 19 they are still pretty new and working their shop up) to see if they would do AR15 lower transfers as pistols to get it on my license.

They said hell yea, then mentioned they had lowers in stock, thought they had Spikes in the shop when I talked to them online which I can work with spikes lol.

Showed up today (super excited) and nope they are Anderson lowers.. well I'm already vested in this build and it supports a new local gun shop so I decided fuck it let's use this as the test run for adding to my license..

And while I'm at it, ordered this from PSA yesterday after finding out the shop will do the transfers..
