    Is a 9mm upper worth the money?

    According to these charts, if I use a typical 55gr .223 in my 10.5" barrel I'm getting around 825 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle. If I went with a 7.5" 9mmP in the hottest loading I can find (Cor-Bon 115gr +P) I'll be getting around 550 ft/lbs. A 10.5" barrel is at approx. 575 ft/lbs. A...

    I really like this foreign tranny...

    I’m realizing that a bunch of the stuff I collected are not guns I’d want to carry - I tried carrying my 9mmP Ruger SP101, but it’s much heavier than the S&W 940, and has sharper edges, so it stays at home. My Astra A75L was my favorite for a few months until I got a Smith 3913. I really liked...

    I think if you took a 1911 Steyr-Hahn and did the same slide cut for an RMR, added the high sights and thread the barrel. That would be epic, wouldn’t it?

    I got kicked off the range today

    Been too long since I really wandered those roads - and they went and changed a bunch of them around, so I got lost the last time I was there, and suddenly found the Fairgrounds...realized I was in Lawrenceville!

    Wait - that was the name of a subdivision, wasn't it?

    I got kicked off the range today

    I grew up in Loganville, went to high school at South Gwinnett. Bullseye was where I bought my first pistol. Yeah, it's not a great place, especially when compared to the much nicer shops/ranges here in Cobb. I remember "RangeMaster" (or maybe it was "Master Gunman" - something Masterbatory in...

    I don't want to see his nips. That's creepy.

    I got kicked off the range today

    Hey, looks like a great place if I want to drive for 3+ hours each way...which I do not. 40 minutes from me there's a range that has 500 yd, 100 yd and 50 yd, plus a pistol range and shotgun stages. Problem is in order to do the 500 yd, you gotta be a member ($250 /yr) and willing to go on a...

    I got kicked off the range today

    You're at least fairly near GunSite Hills - I saw their website - really nice! I think we need to open a place near Paulding County (but NOT in Paulding), close enough for the West Cobb-ers to go and do Long Range Precision Shooting. Like maybe 800+ yards. Anyone else think this is a good idea?

    Some of my Smith & Wesson collection...

    Sort of BOTH. Aftermarket factory. These are "remanufactured" S&W 39s and 39-2s, made by George Nonte (first batch) for Armament Systems and Procedures, owned by Paris Theodore. Supposedly made for and issued to undercover CIA operatives, there were reportedly 286 changes from the original 39...

    Some of my Smith & Wesson collection...

    Obviously I've got a soft spot for them too. They just fit my hand perfectly. Took me 10 years to find an ISP 39, but it was worth the search. These are all part of my Aluminum Frame 9mmP collection

    Pistol AR-15 - I'd like some thoughts from y'all

    This is my AR 10.5 pistol. There are NONE out there like it, and this one is MINE. 10" carbon fiber HG, 10.5" lightweight Faxon barrel, BRT muzzle device, carbine gas system with BRT reduced gas port (suppressor ready), Ambi CH, titanium takedown pins, ALG QMS trigger (my standard trigger)...

    Optics Planet issue

    I'm considering a Bushnell Equinox Z 4.5 x 40 ...doing the research. If it winds up nobody else has wanted the code by the time I decide, I'll be happy to use it. Anyone know of a better / cheaper idea for NV than this thing? My plan is to use it in conjunction with a Holosun HE403C, or with...

    Optics Planet issue

    Speaking of OpticsPlanet, I had an issue with the way they handled the headlamp I tried to buy from them. It's a Petzl STRIX IR. Typically $200 or so, I found it there for $144 (they have a version that has no IR light in it, but oddly it was MORE expensive). I added it to my cart, paid for...
