    Money spent on such anachronistic nonsense is money better spent on more guns, more ammo, accessories and supporting equipment.

    Lets talk WML (Weapon Mounted Lights) all encompassing

    What is the difference between the HL-X and HP-X? I am very pleased with my TRL-7 HL-X, outstanding performance for the size AND the money.

    Turned my spare room into a gun/hobby/workshop room!

    I did order a Real Avid Master Gun Vise and also a 11 pistol peg rack. I have a few ideas for reconfiguring the safes when it comes in. I reckon when I run out of safe capacity that is my signal to call the collection complete. I don't want many more long guns, a Beretta 1301, some kind of...

    Turned my spare room into a gun/hobby/workshop room!

    As it is an apartment I am restricted in that regard. I asked the landlord when I moved in if we could change the carpet out for linoleum or tile or even barber carpet but no dice unfortunately. So I laid out two indoor/outdoor rugs over top to at least somewhat protect the carpet.

    Turned my spare room into a gun/hobby/workshop room!

    The safes are SecurIt Agile 52s. They are a modular knockdown safe so easy to reposition and move. I have them both lag bolted to the floor and to each other so its about as secure as I can get it. They wont fit through the doorway bolted together so a would be thief will have to cut it up to...

    My new S&W FPC + Range report

    If by compact you are referring to the old model M&P equivalent in size the the Glock 26 Smith has discontinued it. The current M&P is the same size as the G19 in the 4" version. There is also a 3.6" version which obviously is just slightly shorter. For a true middle ground M&P you might want...

    My new S&W FPC + Range report

    The receiver is actually aluminum clad in polymer. The handguard is entirely polymer but between each MLOK slot there is a partition that encircles the barrel in the same way the endcap does at the muzzle. This makes it feel very rigid and solid. If you ever have the chance to lay hands on...

    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.

    Starting a "What did you Get today" thread. Let's give it a try (dont forget pics)

    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.

    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.

    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.
