    My new S&W FPC + Range report

    I don't think it is any better or worse than the Ruger PC Carbine, and in NY you don't have a choice anyway. And to be honest I too thought it would feel cheap and flimsy but it actually feels very solid. I wanted it because I always thought the KelTec Sub 2000 was a really cool carbine but I...

    Active Shooter at Ft Stewart, GA

    I don't disagree. Unfortunately. I served with some monumentally stupid soldiers Also with some truly bad people. One guy that was in my final unit was dishonorably discharged and handed over to the local authorities, his off duty hobby being armed robbery of gas stations and convenience...

    Active Shooter at Ft Stewart, GA

    During my time in the Army solders quartered in the barracks were authorized to keep private firearms on post but they must be stored in the company (battery in my case) arms room. To draw your personal arm(s) you would be required to notify your company (battery) CO who you then send the unit...

    Active Shooter at Ft Stewart, GA

    Probably the same rational that oven, hotplates, electric grills or any other like type of cooking device is banned from the barracks. Microwaves are tge inky cooking device allowed. The brass assumes that soldiers will invariably cause trouble with any device that could cause damage.

    Active Shooter at Ft Stewart, GA

    In general soldiers do not carry loaded firearms on post. I'm sure the MPs do but for regular troops any arms are locked up in the arms room and the ammo is kept in a separate facility. Nor are soldiers permitted to carry privately owned firearms on their person. Privately owned firearms must...

    My new S&W FPC + Range report

    I purchased a few boxes of 9mm in the three popular weights and will be using a chronograph to find what velocity gains one gains from a pistol to a carbine. A buddy of mine will be bringing his Garmin chronograph and an 8" CZ Scorpion pistol to test alongside a M&P 2.0 compact and the FPC.

    General resupply of depleted 9mm stock And a few extra boxes for velocity testing of different bullet weights The first piece of several for my 10/22 Target project. Yes, finally bringing that to fruition.

    No interest huh?

    I'm the same way. Also if someone is doing something dangerous I will speak up. If however if someone shows up with a belt fed machine gun it's not my job nor concern to check paperwork. We all know here that we aren't going to help the government enforce laws we know are unjust.

    I have always firmly believed in minding my own damn business.

    Meanwhile here in PA I feel inadequate surrounded by guys with suppressed SBRs

    Why would that be? I just banged out 300 rounds through my AR yesterday. Had a ton of fun.

    My new S&W FPC + Range report

    Cleaned it this morning, it was absolutely filthy. Take down is toolless and simple once you know how. Cleaning the inside of the receiver is difficult as there is no open access to it. I just hosed it down with some aerosol cleaner and stuffed a rag inside.

    My new S&W FPC + Range report

    I had 500 rounds left from a 1k case of Speer Lawman 124gr Std pressure. It fired all these with one solitary malfunction, a double feed but I caused that by inadvertently blocking the ejection port with my thumb. I was trying to use a firing grip where tge thumb rests alongside to outside of...

    My new S&W FPC + Range report

    I got it yesterday, 08/01. I have been wanting some kind of 9mm carbine for lower cost range fun and I decided on the FPC- LGS charged me just $620 which is less than an M&P pistol. That is why I selected the FPC ultimately, to serve as a companion for my M&P Carry Comp. Initial impressions...

    Very fun day at the range today. Shot 1k rounds over hours of time. Been a while since I had a marathon range session. My new Carbine performed admirably and I made a new good friend. I spotted targets for my buddies and he spotted for me, helped each other work out zeros and holds. Just a...

    Picked up an S&W FPC 9mm yesterday along with a Holosun AEMS. However the AEMS is going on my HD AR and tge Holosun 515 will be swapped onto the FPC.

    All things Sig P320 (love em or hate em)

    Well, the P320 has 3 dead and more than a dozen injuries so far but the Clinton's are probably well ahead of that

    While this does violate gun safety rules pistols SHOULD NOT DISCHARGE IN A HOLSTER! Period.

    All things Sig P320 (love em or hate em)

    This re-evaluation is beginning now I think. I predict the unfortunate and senseless death of this Airman will prove to be the turning point. And the downfall of SIG.

    All things Sig P320 (love em or hate em)

    That's the thing, the P320, Like other pistols, including such as the S&W M&P and Walther PDP, use a fully covked striker. Such guns are essential Single Action designs. In these designs there are still multiple layers of passive safeties to mitigate the risk of an unintentional discharge...
