GA Firing Line

    If the NFA stuff was totally erased

    I'd agree that full auto would get old fast, but I'd still like to have a SBR setup with a selector that goes to all three positions. 3 round burst would be my option for shooting fast. I don't know the cyclic rate of a M4 right off, but I think you can dump a mag in a couple of seconds... I...

    Blacklist Industries

    They look nice, but I don't think the "ultra match" name is very accurate. (did you see that pun?) And they cost about half a stock G17's MSRP. Besides that, I've only met a couple of people that get any benefit out of a match pistol barrel. Other than a cool looking barrel.

    Nice shooting! I hope to get out to the range this weekend. And I'm bringing the MK II with the red dot just for a control group so to speak.

    New Larry Vickers Glock

    I never thought about it that way- my initial thought was that grey would be a little less noticeable if my shirt gets lifted up for some reason, but the older OD would be far better for blending into my skin color. I guess this is for the same reason car companies branched out from Henry...

    New Larry Vickers Glock

    Personally, I like the Gen 4 grip much more. I had a gilled G17 RTF2 and a gilled G19 RTF2 (still kicking myself for selling those for $500 or less). The RTF2 is really rough as hell in my opinion. I mean, 9mm doesn't kick that much.

    silver

    It's been hanging around sub $15 for a week or two. I think I saw it a lot closer to $14.00 toward the end of last week. It's actually kind of back "up"

    silver

    It used to be www.silver.com because they had the best prices and free shipping... however, they seem to be placing a bit more of a premium on US Mint coins since they're selling out rather often. I shop around- JM Bullion, Silver Towne, APMEX (who is almost never cheaper), etc. I have bought...

    silver

    I've been watching it daily... not sure where the bottom will be, but I'm in for another mint tube or two. Hell, the last tubes I bought were closer to $20, so this seems like a bargain (until it hits twelve bucks!)

    Self defense ammo.... what's in your EDC?

    Winchester SXZ currently... but looking to change to a bonded projectile. I have two boxes of Ranger T at home in the 147 grain variety- just haven't had time to go function check a box in my G26.

    Oops!

    Good deal- I've seen a few over pressured rifle barrels due to very similar problems. But at least in my experience, you have to do something really wrong to fire a live round after a squib. I've yet to see a true squib round cycle a semiauto action.

    Rimfire irons heard- I've said before (during a bullseye match) that red dots are cheating. And I was shooting the red dot that day. I'll be following the rules on this postal match (assuming I can read the rules... fail so far on the irons). I will be sure to get the pistol in the picture...

    SET competition league

    I might need a video instead of just still pictures then... I've got a MK II with an old Tasco red dot on it that I've shot 10x rounds several times at 25 yard bullseye matches. I guess we'll see this weekend.

    Thoughts on "Survival Rifle"

    Eh, I just couldn't resist that one. No hard feelings. ;)

    Tired of your Guns? Drop em' off.

    It's certainly more convenient than having to walk all the way to the river to dispose of your murder weapon.

    I'm game... I have a few rounds of a new 9mm recipe loaded and need to go shoot them to be sure they function. Now I've got to see about making some copies of an ace of spades.

    Defensive ammo list

    So this fiddle player knows something about terminal ballistics? EDIT: It appears my G26 has been relegated to less-lethal status since I'm loaded with 115 grain 9mm.

    Brief CZ Scorpion EVO3 S1 Review.

    Nice write up and good looking pistol! I went the AR9 route before I found out about these. That might not stop me from getting one in the future though.

    Oops!

    Glad he made it out with two working hands- bad news all around looking at that picture. I can't wait to see the firing pin- I've had one round with no powder in it (someone else's reloads). It's really very obvious when you go from "bang, bang" to "pop"... stop immediately and figure out...
