    Observations on current production P226 Elite

    I used to own a P226 Legion, fantastic pistol but I had to sell it to raise some cash and I always regretted doing so. Lately I have had a desire for an all metal DA/SA and though I have a long list of firearms beeds that must come befor I have nevebeen mulling the various options out there...

    Daniel Defense to resurrect Hudson H9 Pistol

    Interesting. Between this and PSA working on bringing the Hill&Mac machine STG-44 replica to fruition which was formerly a complete dumpster fire situation, as was the situation with Hudson frankly, 2024 is already shaping up to be an interesting year. Excepting the fact that this may be...

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    I am thinking it would be nice to have a small, light and simple .38 snub nose to just carry in my pocket for those times when I am just going out to get the mail or take out the garbage or run to the corner store and not have to bother with getting a holster positioned just so and selecting...

    Primary Arms PLX 1-8 vs ACOG TA11 3.5x which should I get?

    To be mounted on my beloved Galil Ace .308. I had an ACOG TA11 on it at one point but I had to sell it to raise some emergency cash. I really like the ACOG and I think it suited the Galil well, however the cost of ACOGs has risen above what the PA 1-8 goes for so I wonder if I shouldn't get...

    Need help verifying a headstanp

    I think but am not sure these are Winchester 124gr NATO loads. Can anyone tell me if they are or aren't? I put em loose in an ammo can but this would be before I started putting in the box top in also to prevent just this type confusion.

    Had fun and confidence building rangetime with Shield Plus

    I don't go to the range nearly enough these days so I bought 200 rounds of basic 9mm range fodder and sent it all, plus 100 rounds of some leftovers, through the Shield. Mostly on steel plates @ 20 yards. I surprised myself with how easy it is to hit with that little gun, even during one handed...

    Red Dot compatible shoulder holsters.

    Anybody know of any? Names? Links? I'd consider having my Shield Plus milled for a red dot but I primarily carry in a shoulder rig and the one I have wouldn't accommodate a red dot. I am not having much luck searching online for one either.

    Closer look at Bond Arms lever action AR

    This shows a lot of promise and would be a fantastic option for NYers. Also for hunters in states like PA where semi auto rifles cannot be used for most hunting. One of these in 350 Legend would make a great modern woods gun.

    Decided to carry OWB at work today

    Well, overnight technically, last night by the tine most of you will be reading this. I was out running errands when I got my dispatch for the night so I decided to head direct to work as opposed to heading home to switch to my preferred method of carry whichbis in a shoulder holster. I really...

    POLL: Full Size or Compact Grip module for full length slide P320?

    Specifically, from an esthetic point, which do you prefer? I am thinking of getting a new black grip module for my P320 Full Size. The one I have is dark grey and while the subtle two tone look is alright I am going to add a magwell and gas pedal as well. I don't like the look of contrasting...

    Opinions on FN 509

    I've noticed that this gun gets a lot of positive opinions. Who has one how do you like it? Is it worth getting a 509 over a Glock or P320? Or should I get that CZ P-01 I've had my eye one? Intended use is as defensive gun with a smooth, flat recoil impulse. I should mention that over the last...

    DONE M&P Shield 1.0 w/ holster, case & extra mag.

    Need a low cost yet quality carry gun? I am offering my Gen 1 Shield with everything pictured for $200! I have about 1,000 rounds through it, everything is nicely broken in yet it has been carried more than shot. Meticulously maintained as well I would much prefer payment via Zelle. All...

    Finally addressed the baffling lack of a .22 pistol in my small collection.

    Ruger Mk IV hunter blued version 'cos I am not particularly fond of shiny guns. I had been planning on getting the Target model but when I saw this blued Hunter model in my LGS I opted for it instead. It has the fiber optic front sight which is nice and the fluted barrel and aluminum frame is a...

    Let's play a "What would I like to do/see post NFA" game.

    And for the purposes of this discussion all you back pillers can take that pill and shove it up your ass, make it a suppository. Anyways- First things first I would take the pistol brace off the Galil Ace "pistol" and put on a proper stock and replace to angled fore grip with a proper vertical...

    The Remington Rolling Block, and related single shot musings.

    Aero Precision to produce new bolt gun

    Looks cool, like the green color, like the minimalist design. 3 locking lugs, 60° bolt throw, uses Savage type prefit barrels, modular chassis. Didn’t say what magazine it would use, I assume an ACIS pattern. All seems pretty good to me, can't wait to hear more about it.

    Open carry in Walmart still a thing

    In small town PA anyway. Spotted a fellow, out with his lady, open carrying a G19 on his hip. While wearing a mask which I found highly incongruous. I was surprised to see someone open carrying in a Walmart after that incident with that guy what got banned for life for open carrying. I...

    Federal's .30 Super Carry. All that is old is new

    https://www.federalpremium.com/30supercarry.html This is basically a recreation of the 7.65x20 French Long cartridge, which is what the French called the .30 Pedersen cartridge when they adopted it as their service pistol round. The .30 Pedersen was developed for the Pedersen device which...

    The AR-15 is still the most modern rifle there is

    It's uncanny how simple updates in materials and configuration have been able to keep this 60 year old design on the cutting edge. Everytime a new rifle is released, the Bren 2 for example, I think "it's nice but is it better than a AR........ no I don't think it is."

    Of 1911s, boycotts and comprised ideals

    O have long wanted a 1911 though it's never been a high priority. With S&W 686 Pluses been so hard to come by I have been thinking of skipping over to a 1911 for my luddite handgunnery fix. The model that has always fit the bill best for me was the Springfield Armory Range Officer as I wanted...

    NYPD 12lb trigger possibly discontinued.

    https://www.guns.com/news/2021/08/26/goodbye-nypd-trigger-agency-shifts-from-12-pound-trigger-pulls I remember an article in which a NYPD officer discharged 15 shots at a suspect only to hit everything but including multiple bystanders. Perhaps this will help with that.

    Happy customer

    Just received 500 rounds of 9mm 124gr +P HSTs from these folks. $557.79 shipped (to PA). Not bad, $1.10 per round which is a pre panic retail price. I've actually seen them go for more than that yet in the middle of the Trump Slump no less. I ordered noon Wednesday they shipped an hour later...

    Holosun QD mounts, do they suck?

    Just bought a 515 that was unbelievably on sale on Midway, it's on my doorstep now, waiting for me. Now I have heard from a few different sources that Holosun's QD mount is not the best, does anyone have any experience with them? Would I be better off replacing it straight off? Ordinarily I'd...

    Anyone else seeing a massive influx of new shooters on their range?

    I certainly have. Everytime I go there are multiple newbies out there. Some have questionable taste in guns, some splurge on the good stuff, some over splurge on really good stuff they don't really need. Saw a younger guy with a Les Baer for "home defense". First time owner too. None of em...

    Death of the surplus firearms hobby

    @Fightingfish, watch this before you start in on your surplus scrounging. I agree with him too. I once recommended the Spanish FR-8 as a potential option for a good classic military style bolt action. However a recent perusal on Gunbroker shows them going for almost $1,000 these days. The...

    Has there been any further thought given to this as a paid feature? I'd pay a reasonable fee for this service and there are all kinds of videos I'd like to do for the forums. I find using a 3rd party host to be somewhat tedious. Or is there a better/easier servive than Google Drive to use?

    Clatsop County, Oregon to vote on whether to become most free county in Nation

    Absent regulation I wonder how much new manufacture belt fed machine guns would cost? I'd love to add one of those new Knights Armament constant recoil guns to my collection. Hell, absent regulation I would put one on a pintle mount in a pickup bed.
