    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...

    Just renewed my PA RESIDENT permit today online

    Via my phone. Apparently the backlogs in my area have been worked through- applied for renewal online, received approval 30 mins later and scheduled an apt to pickup my card tomorrow. Can non residents apply online also? Things are running smooth again it seems. Also- FWIW, there is no way...

    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...

    Beretta will be importing the legendary Manurhin MR73!

    https://www.beretta.com/en-us/manurhin/ Will this be the first time these excellent revolvers have been imported factory new to this country? Shame about the price but considering the quality of materials, manufacturer and the features I think the $3,000+ price is justified. Unfortunately I...

    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...

    Spyderco Paramilitary 3 Lightweight sprint

    I was fondling the Delica 4 I had purchased for my step father when I realized that I really like Spyderco's FRN handles....... So I got this. In a sprint run version. I have a disease. It is crazy light and has a fantastic action, feels like it's on ball bearings even though it's a bronze...

    Yet another P320 unintentional discharge

    I'm sure Glock is very grateful that they didn't have to deal with instantaneous internet dissemination in the 70s and 80s when their pistol had similar issues.

    I have a sexy new blade!

    Spyderco Ikuchi: https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C242CF/Ikuchi/1196 The unavailability of guns, ammo and related accessories has rekindled my interest in blades. What with the unrelenting wave of terrible news I decided to partake in a little retail therapy and I figured I was...

    .308 tear gas rounds

    You heard me- I want some. A quick internet search shows that these were available on the second hand market for a time...... at $6 a round.

    Native Video Hosting?

    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.

    3 days carrying the Glock 19 in a Galco Miami Classic

    I have never used a shoulder rig until now and I quite like it actually. I have carried this way at work for the past three days over long hours, 12 hour shift on Friday, and found this setup to be very comfortable and convenient. I wear it under a regular button up shirt and nothing else...

    Good price on .223 55gr Gold Dot

    https://www.targetsportsusa.com/speer-gold-dot-le-duty-223-remington-ammo-55-grain-soft-point-24446-p-59031.aspx Very good price for this ammo, excellent for HD/SD and probably a good round for hunting too. The 55gr seems to do well out of short barrels:

    Another great day of training with OnSight Firearms Training

    GM6 Lynx .50 BMG bullpup rilfe.

    I have never been a huge fan of bullpups but her eit makes good sense. Putting an semiauto 50. BMG rifle into a form factor that can be effectively shoulder fired is incredibly cool. So if you will all just crowdfund me $12,000 I will let you know what I think.

    Glock is evil, damn!

    Notice the front slide serrations and the lack of the annoying cutout on the front strap. Now I have to fight the temptation to replace my current, perfectly good, G19. And the temptation center of my brain is relentless, ruthless and totally unstoppable. Dammit Glock! This is how Glock is...

    Technical and historical review of the HiPoint pistol. And a side of forensics.

    Really interesting stuff I think. Fascinating insight into not only the technical aspects of the HiPoint product but also insight into the ethical practice of the company and an interesting look into firearms forensics.

    Just did a little pistol training today.

    Just a few hours. One on one session with Ben of @OnSight Firearms Training. Training was great, as per usual. Being the only student was really nice. I learned that my grip was sub optimal and how to fix it, you just can't learn everything from print and videos, and also how to slow down and...

    The new Colt King Cobra Target

    Oh wow, I actually posted about an NYS legal gun, imagine that! When I finally get around to purchasing a revolver I am going to very seriously consider this one. It seems a bit more special than the 686 for some reason. Maybe I am just a sucker for Colt cachet and snake names. But if I bought...

    Let's discuss the PWS long stroke piston AR.

    I am bored of politics, let's talk about GUNS! I have made no secret of my disdain of piston driven ARs in the past but I do like the PWS treatment. It seems to solve many of the problems inherent in piston AR conversions. The long piston enclosed in a gas tube seems like it would really...

    There it is, the 10mm truck gun I've been looking for.

    Once again this technically should go in the pistol forum........ but I am going to put it here, I think you all understand why. Out of really short barrels 5.56 generates only slightly more muzzle energy than 10mm ammo does in a similar length barrel. I'm thinking that put of a 9" or less...

    How long can you get away with not cleaning an AR15?

    A really long time it seems. I have routinely gone for 1k+ between cleanings (I have on multiple occasions shot that much in a single range session) and have gone just past 2k a few times as well, primarily out of laziness. I generally clean after every range trip but sometimes it doesn't...

    For your benefit @Edwardteach72 I had several shooting buddies that owned the original ones and the were all temperamental creatures and not particularly accurate either. My one buddy owned a PSL and a DPMS 308 and both were pieces of rattle trap shit. He couldn't get either to cycle...
