I've always wanted to take a rifle class and I got my chance a few weeks ago with a low-light course put on by RPD. The course was designed for pistols, but it -did- say rifle or shotgun on the description, and I had more rifle ammo, so I messaged Dave and he okayed it. When it said low light...

I need an adult, lol. I've probably said on here before that I have trouble shooting left. I do it w/ every pistol I shoot usually. Put new sights on the G48, went out this weekend to try them out. Better groups, not low, just left again. In the past I've shot low and left. I quick googled at...

I don't really enjoy the reset and the total feel of the Glock trigger they put in the G48. For being a slimmer 19, it doesn't feel the same. Plus, after having an adjustable trigger in my 1911, that's all I can think about when I shoot this. School me on this. What's the best to do, the...

I traded for this scope mistakenly because I thought it was the 5.56 variant (not in what it shoots, it's how PA names their reticles I guess. This Is for .223/5.56 and other rounds, see box)...

I'm looking in to getting a new scope for the AR, so I'm doing a little mount research now. What's considered "quality", what's not? Is cheap ok? I'm seeing some in these lists that are cheap but recommended, and then I'm seeing some cost just as much as the scope...

As you all know, I recently moved to the Glock fam w/ the 48, an upgrade over my Shield. I also moved from 40 to 9. I can't remember if I posted my first time shooting the gun here, but the results were...less than ideal (for me, I'm a perfectionist). I hit every shot left of the target. I know...

Anyone do this yet? It's the request for exemption bit - I'm thinking my choice is supposed to be Option 4? What would I type if I did?

Got into an interesting and predictable discussion w/ someone on Twitter yesterday, came down to us both being about guns, but he's not for AR's. I ask him why, he says you don't need that kind of "power" to hunt deer with. I tell him I live in NY (I assumed he lived in MN because we're Vikings...

Bear w/ me as I try to explain this. If I am typing a word, and I go to delete the word, as soon as I delete the first letter of the word, the space that separates it and the previous word also gets deleted as well. Seems like a new thing, anyone else notice it?

https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/nikon-is-exiting-the-rifle-scope-business/ That blows, I really like their stuff. For the price, it has really good value. I know some don't buy scopes this "cheap" but they're not bad. Sure, they're not Leupold, but I'd put them over Bushnell. Primary has...

Never mounted, I got them and decided against the size, going in a different direction Dynapro AT M (RF10) They're snow rated too. @NirvanaFan has them on his truck and likes them $640 picked up here in Rochester, paid $670 I'll upload some pics later.

Since I found what I think I like better now, I'm gonna put this up for sale to fund that. Up for sale is a used Shield 40 (1st Gen) with a couple hundred rounds through it. It's stock, except for the addition of a Talon grip that improves the grip of the gun immensely, and a Pearce mag...

I didn't wanna keep blowing up @NYGuns superb thread on cameras, but I have some lighting questions. Some of you have seen my footage and know that I wish to make it better. Here's some pictures to show what I have, where they are, and what I see as we try to discuss what I need to make better...

I just put an order in for one, been waiting a few weeks for them to make it, decided to try it after the recommendation from you guys here. Will let you know how I like it when I get it. Definitely excited to try something that'll conceal a bit better.

For some reason, I've just wanted one for a while. The P30 is technically my brother's from when he lived in VA, and he never got his permit up here, and I don't suspect he will. If he ever took it back though, I want another/my own full size to carry owb. I'm looking for used or new, but not...

Now as the article begins, there's 5% on each side of this side who won't like this article. I thought it was an interesting proposal Interesting Take on “The Path Forward on Guns” Talks about going with a Swiss-style NICS/background check, classifying suppressors as Class 1 firearms, getting...

So a while ago, I finished my AR and now want to match the BCM FDE color handguard to the stock and magazine. What's the best way to do this? Paint or wrap the parts? Buy new ones that are FDE colored? They don't appear to all be the same color. BCM and Magpul both offer FDE pieces, Hexmag...

My two brothers and I are thinking of getting my dad an optic for his AR for Christmas, I don't think he'd do a long range one, so I was thinking either an aimpoint or a 1-4x or similar bit. Budget will probably be $200 max since we have others we have to buy for as well Friend already...

Thanks to @dsdmmat I picked up a sweet Simmons 20-60x60 spotting scope on Amazon and it arrived just in time for an impromptu range day yesterday with @NirvanaFan and a friend on a mutual friend's land. They have some space and we setup at ~100y to sight in his new R700 30-.06 w/ Vortex Viper...

What's your take on these? I'm not looking at expensive ones, but more less, ones that are on sale/under a bill. I see 20-60, 25-75, etc and I'd like to know if anyone has one and how effective it is in spotting shots at 100-300y down range? Are they all the same under $100? This won't get used...

Going deer hunting for the first time this season, and I had a chance to shoot a different ammo a couple of weeks ago. Usually I shoot this: No real reason for it other than I just picked it when I started shooting and got used to it and the price. Recently, I shot this: Looks like...

Thought I would need the cooling methods this weekend, but I apparently did not. I just let time do the work while I sighted in my AR iron sights a little better. Trying to shoot at an 8-1/2 x 11 in. piece of paper, maybe I would do better with a bigger target, or not. At least I know I can hit...

I'm going to be doing some shooting this weekend and with a cheaper gun, I was wondering if there's any proven methods to keep the barrel cool so I can shoot longer or at least shoot a few shots and not have them go everywhere. I heard about standing the rifle on the butt, letting the...

Shocking, I know. I've never had an interest in hunting until @NirvanaFan and I went to Colorado last year, and I got to sit out and wait. Didn't shoot anything and only saw 1 thing real quick, but I liked it...for the time being. Dad always hunted when I was a kid but never took us. The...

So, figured I'd share this eventually, just am lazy. I took a CERT class 2 years ago, started carrying a bag w/ medical stuff in it and things to respond to a local emergency (hence the wrench and gloves). I know I'm missing a few things, but I have them in one way or another, they're just not...

I need to buy a few magazines for my firearms - at least 1 10-round for my P30 (.40), and 1 Savage Axis 4 round magazine (.308). The usual places I've checked - PSA, HKParts, etc. were either too expensive or I couldn't get both at the same place. I'd rather 1 stop shop. If I can't, share w/ me...

If you don't have these, they're awesome. They fit better than any muffs that I've worn so far. Even with the shipping, $23 is better than the usual $40-60 you see. Even though you gotta wait a bit for them to come in, I feel like the deal is definitely worth the wait. I'm definitely snagging a...

Thread title says it all, what do you think about this? Aside from needing to calibrate my scope to both rounds, each time I shoot them, what are the pros and cons of this? I can see the 7.62 being cheaper because it's generally less powerful/less powder, but would that mean that the less powder...

I have a few friends who I want to add my pistols to their permits, and add their permits to mine. Has anyone done this before and what exactly do I need to do? I looked at the County Clerk website, but didn't quite get it. Is the Consent form for purchases only? I'm updated on my NICS check so...

NUKEMAP Interesting thing I saw today, apparently someone made a nuclear fallout/explosion calculator with Google Maps. It has multiple size warheads (Fat Man, Little Boy, improvised terrorist dirty bombs, etc) and many options for you to see how you or your city would fare if it was hit by a...

I currently have a pair of Motorola muffs that the wife got for me for Christmas last year. They're effective, but they're super tight and I usually double up with plugs if I'm shooting inside. They're not bad, but I'm looking to get new ones. Buddy dropped off his new pair of Walker's Razor...

Since I'm new at this, bear with me. I've been doing searches online, trying to read up on stuff but I don't get it, I think. Speak scope to me, lol. First one question, then some examples to explain me better. 1) When you're sighting a scope in, do you do it at the smallest power, or the...

Post up what you've got or are thinking about getting. With the Get Home Bag thread fresh on my mind, I was thinking of storage myself. Makes no sense to put ammo in my bag if I'm not gonna carry, or if for some reason, I need to lock up my current weapon. I know some carriers out there make...

What is this garbage? I'm guessing some have to do with the ads, maybe? What do they do, how much information are they collecting about me and my dog, how much time do I have, where are they coming from, who sent them, are the Russians hacking us, are my porn searches going to improve, will I...

I'll let the pictures do the talking, then I'll explain. Went to the range, 25 yards, using the supplied 3-9x40 scope. Didn't quite have the settings I wanted. I don't shoot much, so I wanted a table or steady surface and a sandbag to keep the stock steady. I wanted to eliminate...

So the time is approaching for me to buy my first bolt action rifle. Asked for a bunch of money/gc's to F&S for Christmas, as that's all I really want. Decided that I'm going 308 as I start deer hunting probably next year. The trip @NirvanaFan and I had to Colorado made me wanna do it. I've...

Inspired by the knife thread, what's your wish list for hand guns? They can be real or made up, from a movie or prototype. I'm broke, so I wish I had all of these because they're too damn expensive for me, haha. Clint's Colt Walker 1847's from The Outlaw Josey Wales: Beretta 92FS. Always...

So a few months ago, before the election, decided that I needed to buy a lower before anything crazy happened, just in case. Went to AllStar after I got back from Colorado and started building. I've probably posted some of these before, but I'm gonna keep em going here. Kinda hemmed and hawed...

So with all of the bullshit of the fallout from Trump being elected, there have been some stories that have flown under the radar. Not only did Trump set history by beating some ass, various positions around the country were won by someone other than an old white guy. Excellence: 21-Year-Old...

If this is political, move it. Also, some of you are going to not agree with me on this, so play nice :) I'm seeing a lot of shit on Facebook from my liberal friends and family who voted for Hillary and are now calling things off with people for having that opinion. In the face of having their...

Incident at Anderson County, S.C., school What the fuck is wrong with people. 2 children, 1 teacher injured in elementary school in SC. Teenager responsible is in custody, and everyone else is believed to be safe.

Taking up adult legos and need some parts, or at least need some ideas. All I can think of off the top of my head is Palmetto Armory. Cruised there yesterday, but a lot of their stuff was backordered or out of stock. Where do you shop? Recommend? Good pricing/selection?

If you have personal experience with one, that's helpful. Tell me pros/cons/cost/etc. I've been looking at a 5.11 Tactical heavy with D-ring and velcro, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I'm not cheap, but I'm not gonna spend a bill on a belt. I'm open to colors except green, I wear mostly...

Put on by the Department of Homeland Security at/through MCC. I took a CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) and it was very well put together. Got this from my email: If you're interested in this, pm me and I'll forward the email to you.

Hard to put into words, but how ready is your carry gun or your other pistols in the home and in public? My Shield has a safety, but I only use it when I'm transferring between myself and the safe, or carrying around the house. Otherwise, I've got one in the chamber at all times, safety is off...

https://www.saf.org/saf-sues-city-of-seattle-for-violating-public-records-act-in-gun-tax-probe/ Gee, wonder why they don't want to disclose the details of their money grab? Thoughts?

Hey guys, I also like guns. The end. I've got my CC and am trying to put together some more stuff for fun. I enjoy camping and shooting. So, aside from the camping part, I should leave the state if I wanna enjoy anything else
