    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 tongue 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.

    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.

    At the range

    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.

    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.

    My new S&W FPC + Range report

    I had 500 rounds left from a 1k case of Speer Lawman 124gr Std pressure. It fired all these with one solitary malfunction, a double feed but I caused that by inadvertently blocking the ejection port with my thumb. I was trying to use a firing grip where tge thumb rests alongside to outside of...

    My new S&W FPC + Range report

    I got it yesterday, 08/01. I have been wanting some kind of 9mm carbine for lower cost range fun and I decided on the FPC- LGS charged me just $620 which is less than an M&P pistol. That is why I selected the FPC ultimately, to serve as a companion for my M&P Carry Comp. Initial impressions...

    Very fun day at the range today. Shot 1k rounds over hours of time. Been a while since I had a marathon range session. My new Carbine performed admirably and I made a new good friend. I spotted targets for my buddies and he spotted for me, helped each other work out zeros and holds. Just a...

    Picked up an S&W FPC 9mm yesterday along with a Holosun AEMS. However the AEMS is going on my HD AR and tge Holosun 515 will be swapped onto the FPC.

    Well, the P320 has 3 dead and more than a dozen injuries so far but the Clinton's are probably well ahead of that

    While this does violate gun safety rules pistols SHOULD NOT DISCHARGE IN A HOLSTER! Period.

    This re-evaluation is beginning now I think. I predict the unfortunate and senseless death of this Airman will prove to be the turning point. And the downfall of SIG.

    Happy P320 day!

    That's the thing, the P320, Like other pistols, including such as the S&W M&P and Walther PDP, use a fully covked striker. Such guns are essential Single Action designs. In these designs there are still multiple layers of passive safeties to mitigate the risk of an unintentional discharge...

    Lets talk WML (Weapon Mounted Lights) all encompassing

    Bringing this back to discuss a point: Both in this very thread and elsewhere across the net and around the watercolor there is some debate over whether a pistol is necessary. My point is whether it is necessary or not does having one actually give any encumbrance? I don't think they don't...

    M&P Bodyguard 2.0

    No. Not any blast either unless I shoot from a non extended position. It does what it does in pretty much transparent fashion.

    Personally I think I would just stay with the standard model. Minimal size, minimal flash. Just tge bare essentials for use as an ultra lo-pro pocket gun.

    I had one, and RXP model what comes with the red dot. I sold it along with a Walther PPQ to fund the purchase of another pistol and it's related accessories.

    There are so many videos, reports and independent studies about the P320 now only low IQ individuals or those that have for some reason invested an emotional stake into their purchasing decisions refuse to see the truth of the matter.

    9mm Match Ammo

    Well, I'm not talking about carry ammo. I have that sorted. I'm talking about range ammo that shoots as well as my carry ammo but at a cheaper price. I have heard a lot of good things about Atlanta Arms, when it comes tine fir an ammo purchase I will give their stuff a go.

    These type of creatures are no better than rabid dogs. And as we do with rabid dogs creatures such as these need to be put down, removed from society permanently. Same goes for their single mothers. We must detoxify our culture, our nation, if we are to survive. The plain truth is that all...

    CZ P - 10C

    I generally strongly dislike slide cuts on the basis that they are extraneous decoration and they allow dust and debris a path inside the gun..............but for some reason I really like the cut on the Carry Comp, I'm not exactly sure why but I looks nice to me. I doubt the Carry Comp is any...

    CZ P - 10C

    That can be an issue with external compensators but not with ported barrels. I am prepared to except that the former is the more effective device but the latter doesn't really have any downside as to the function of the pistol, particularly when the ported section of the barrel is counterbored.

    CZ P - 10C

    Well, if you are thinking of getting something more "modern" as you put it only do so if you want to, not because you think you need to because you don't. That said I tread down this very same path last year with an M&P Carry Comp with all the tactical goodies. In my case I sold off two other...

    CZ P - 10C

    What else did you want? Also I think this style comp, port or whatever you want to call it is probably the best way to do it for a carry/duty/bedside gun. No hindrance to disassembly or function, very low profile and simple.

    .338 ARC just might be a winner!

    I am interested in this cartridge for being the 9x39 Grom we have at home although the 338 ARC seems the superior cartridge. A suppressed AR15 SBR in .338 ARC would be a lot of fun. In terms of full power supersonics what kind of performance does this cartridge have compared to the big...

    Going to have an AR built, need optic options…

    Then get a Romeo 4XT Pro and a good 3x magnifier then. That's what I'd get right now if I had a new rifle. Good all-round setup. If you mix and match optic/magnifier brands, and you might because EoTech's magnifiers are probably the best, make sure the height of the optic mount and magnifier...
