My "Blade Remediation" project has given me an itch for a new blade. Working 6 days/ 65 hours a week has given me the freedom to scratch it. I won't fully disclose what I got just yet other than to say a "CruCarta" is inbound soon.

Or as I prefer these days the General Purpose Rifle- I had to do a little Bubba engineering to get clearance on that one rail cover. I know it looks ugly, I'll clean it up with a file later. This wasn't a completely frivolous exercise in aesthetics either. I like the new Magpul stocks and the...

I have a modest yet nice collection of pocket knives, as some of you may remember my knife buying spree of years ago before inflation had pauperized me, but the bulk of this collection had been left forgotten and unloved in a pocket of my seat back organizer for years now. My current gig of the...

Help me think of a better name for it- 7.62x21. Basically a 356 TSW case necked down to .30. When the 7.5 FK cartridge was released I thought it was an interesting round but probably not practical for general use. Probably too punchy for military uses in sidearms or subguns/PDWs. I thought...

Another IWB from T-Rex Arms which is becoming my go-to holster maker. I originally got the Ironside Hybrid holster from the same company and there is nothing wrong with it, very comfortable setup. However it does take up a lot of belt space which causes problems with my other belt mounted EDC...

I want to continue carrying a mid sized pistol, my M&P Carry Comp, Into the summer months as I have throughout this winter. I have found it is comfortable enought to do so IF I can continue to use my horizontal OWB mag pouch. Carrying both a double stack pistol AND a mag pouch both IWB to be...

https://www.usa.bularmory.com/product-page/tac-comp I even would put that same red dot on it, I believe that is a 507 Comp up there. Tac Comp, Carry Comp, L-Comp, some may ask why I am so obsessed with compensators lately. Well-

Anybody have one? Opinions? There was a classified post where someone sold one but no other threads it seems. In any case when I picked up my Carry Comp a few weeks ago I was checking out a Bodyguard 2.0 they had in stock. I was impressed! Until I saw one in person I didn't see any point to...

Smith & Wesson Military & Police Compact Carry Comp. That's a very long name. Anyway, also on the gun is a Holosun EPS mounted on a DPP Titanium plate and the Streamlight TLR-7 HL-X. All three of these items are pretty new on the market. It also came with a nice cleaning kit: It's a very...

For the revolver folk: https://leonardpouches.com/ Nice little design, keeps the speedloader tucked in close and low behind the belt as opposed to sticking way out like a standard pouch. The pouch itself clips over the waistband of the pants and behind the belt with the hook going under and...

The Trump campaign has been pushing hard for people to vote early so while I'd rather vote in person on the 5th I am defering to his campaigns wishes: I am taking it to the local election office personally despite it being 23 miles away. As a Pennsylvania voter holding this ballot feels a...

They are garbage! Apparently I am late to the party with this revelation but here it is anyways. The problem is that the hinges fail. These are very expensive mounts too, $400 or so! I am replacing it with a mount from Midwest Industries.

All you revolver guys I am looking for opinions on what you prefer in terms of reloading techniques for defensive shooting situations. I will be putting my new 586 L-Comp into the carry rotation and have been researching this. I have seen a variety of techniques and they all seem to fall into...

Namely do we think it would have decent performance from an 8.3" barrel out to 50 yards? I'm looking to bolster my dwindling supply of 64gr .223 Gold Dots as any of the .223 Gold Dots seem to be impossible to get for the last 2 years. Are they discontinued? SG Ammo is selling the PDX1s at a...

For a few months now I have been day dreaming on a particular AR Build, what I would call an Outdoor Patrol Rifle. I have been musing on what role the traditional 20" rifle length AR m8ght still have these days and my theory is that if we rule out vehicle and indoor scenarios the 20" becomes...

@S&W Fan @Xae289 As some of you might know I recently purchased a 586 L-Comp which is a Performance Center model. I took it to the range today and misfires A plenty! I initially loaded 7 rounds of 125gr Magtech FMJ .38 Specials. Could not get a single round to light off despite multiple...

The Python is absolutely the nicer gun but is it worth the extra $500 or so? Would the option for 7 shots sway you over to the S&W? I'm looking to purchase soon.

Make NYGF About Guns Again: 1- Modernized version of the P239 adapted to take P365 magazines. Never happen 'cause it'd never sell but I'd love one. 2- a 10mm version of the P227. P227 sales were abysmal so again, never happen 3- A 7 shot Plus plus version of S&W's 586. No idea why this...

Delete thread, wrong section Why can't we delete threads we started?

I say commonly available as the most powerful short action round full stop 8s the .475 Bishop which throws a 390gr pill @ 2,500 fps. I want to know is what's the most powerful short action that you could find in a reasonably well stocked gun shop? One of the Winchester Short Magnums? 375 Ruger...

It will be for a Ruger 10/22 Target Lite model. Use case is target shooting at 50 and 100 yards. I would like a 10x magnification up top and something not too bulky or heavy as the idea is to have a rifle that isn't too heavy for offhand shooting. Budget is around $400 but I'd consider...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

Hey, I didn't say it.................I just happen to agree with it.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

@Edwardteach72, you get your scope yet?

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...

This is a great channel for anyone interested in historical arms, ballistics or practical application of marksmanship.

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...

Does anyone here own a Remington Rolling Block, or one of the reproductions? I recently watched a lengthy and entertaining video of the Rolling Block rifle on C&Rsenal channel and I have become fascinated with it. Interesting history and mechanism, the action was described as being a...

I find this pretty interesting. Judging from the comments on this video many folks are missing the point here.

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.

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...

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...

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."

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...

I have long subscribed to this excellent channel. He is going to do a series of videos on this line of revolutionary pistols starting here with the 1900 and through to the 1911.

I wanna find out if you can make an at least somewhat palatable grilled ham n' cheese with this stuff. The butter at least is said to be extremely good. The other items are more subjective though I love the B&M bread toasted with butter so..........
