The Firearms thread

I need that stand

 

I have a bore sight but didn't even bother using it for my 10/22.

 

Yeah. It's a 22. So waste some rounds sighting it in. Who cares. They're 22's.

 

Okay, so I spent a couple minutes looking through the ruler site. Someone tell me which model I want (thinking the basic carbine, maybe tactical?)

Many thoughts, all good ones.

 

Conjunction junction, what will be its function?

 

The thoughts are......

 

you need it! make sure you want to carry something larger than your xds though.

 

I like the xds just want something in 9mm over a 45. Thought while looking i could get people's opinions of others I should look at.

 

Picked up a Ultradot II for my S&W Model 41. I never use the rings that come with optics so I'll have a different mount tomorrow. Want the $300 Trijicon mount but it sits too high for a handgun.

 

Thinking about the M&P compact .45. Anyone have any intel/experience with it?

 

For a carry pistol its the most comfortable 45 I've shot. I like more weight than the Glock 38. Trigger seemed a little crunchy but it may have just been the pistol I shot.

 

M&P triggers are poo

 

Trigger seems to be a standard complaint with the M&P

Edit: what NoleNBlue said

 

idk when I pull the trigger on my shield, a bullet comes out TFWIW YMMV

You get used to it, but upgrading the trigger is always an option.

 

I have heard that the Apex trigger upgrade is a must. Factoring that into the cost.

This will be my first striker fired gun.

 

Exactly what i did. Even if you just get the duty/carry upgrade, which is under 100.

 

What's your duty gun?

 

Switched to M&P 9mm a couple of months ago. Swapped out the trigger and sights before I started carrying it. My trusty G21 has been retired to my nightstand.

 

Why the switch from a .45 to a 9?

 

Weight on my belt. My back thanks me every day.

 

Trigger on my Walther is pretty poor too. I should've gotten the XD-S.

 

New K2 grip and stock. Got them both for under 50 with free shipping from optics planet. Grip makes a huge difference over the A2 style

 

It's go time!

 

Be honest, does that thing work? I couldn't see holding that beast up and using the optic

 

Of course it works! It's just like an Eotech, unlimited eye relief. I absolutely love heavy guns, one of the reasons I buy so many bulky revolvers. Entire ensemble above only weighs 3½ pounds.

 

Picked up a Maglula BL, no more loading .223/5.56 by hand like a pleb.

 

What in tarnation

 

I want a Trijicon VCOG but they only make a .308 in 175 grain. I have 1,000+ .308 and not a single box is in 175 grain. WTF Triji? ACOGs are nice but not a fan of their fixed magnification. Anyone run either of these on their pew pew pew?

 

So I am currently looking at the following for concealed carry: sw shield performance variant, sig p938, hk p30sk, glock 43, xds, Kimber solo.

All are chambered in 9mm. I have had an xd and xds previously. What say you?

 

Go the local shop and handle all of them, whatever one feels best.

 

Love my 938

 

I'd buy the glock and put all those extra $100 bills in my pocket, but that's just me.

 

Drop the Solo from that list, those have had too many issues in the past. Kimber has discontinued the model as well.

 

I have the Sig 938. Love it. Also liked the Glock 43.

 

Right now after just holding them (couldn't test the trigger due to a lock they wouldn't remove) I am down to the glock and shield. S&w is $60 less. Both will get new sights and triggers.

 

Stumbled across this little $2,000 gem. 1-4 fixes my ACOG beef, but goddamn it's fucking ugly. Love the reticle!

 

Ordered a Sig brace for my Rock River AR peestool.

 

That reticle is

 

If the Sig brace works well enough I might pick up one of those to slap on my RR PDS. Has night vision built in too, not that I have any use for that. Low light conditions the rest of the reticle will light up.

 

One of you mouth breathers mentioned the Burris AR-332 awhile back. Well, if you buy a Burris AR-332 or AR-536 you get a free Burris FastFire III. I know SportOptics has the AR-332 for $314.10 (free shipping), which is a sweet deal for both optics.

Can't wait for my Sig brace to get here to see how it'll work with the PDS, ordering the $2,000 optic anyway as my lack of patience is working me over hard. Worst case scenario I'll just buy a new 2k gun to go with my new 2k optic.



So much ugly in this thing.

 

I bought the ar-536 a couple years ago and love it.

 

Magpul iPhone 7 and 7+ cases are available from Magpul's website. They have black and od green.

This case is best case.

 

Why do people mount FastFire sights on top of optics?

 

Because it's tacticool

 

Anyone have an opinion on the Smith & Wesson M&P15-22 Sport .22 LR? Seems like a decent gun at a good price. I am looking to get an AR for shooting and some hunting. Would love to get a few of the ones I've seen in this thread but don't know what they are

 

Why a 22?
