So, I need some input about optics. I've never really used much more than an Eotech so 'm pretty dumb in this arena. The gun in question for this little situation is an FNH SCAR 17. I plan on using it as my "one" rifle to do all. It is a very lightweight 7.62x51mm rifle that can be used for up...

As I debate whether to make a USP 45 Compact or a USP 45 full size as "my gun" I keep coming back to the same question. How much capacity are you willing to lose to decrease the size of your gun? My particular dilemma is that the USP full size holds 4 more rounds than the compact but is only...

It has been a few days now and I have been able to adequately process what happened. Last Friday on my way to the trebuchet competition I stopped at the True Value hardware store over by Marietta Square/cemetery. As I was walking to my car I saw an "urban" man ( sorry, he was black) dressed in...

I'm just curious of someone could explain to me why a Raven Concealment kydex holster is $95 and a Cooks holster is only $65.... Is the RCS REALLY that much better?

So often we see nothing but complaining and whining online I thought I'd share some of the good vibes I'm having today so far. I sold my HK45C this morning for 97% of asking price and just traded my HK45 for this little gem and two SCAR 17 mags...all from the parking deck at my office...

Today is the launch day for our class project. The goal is to launch a cabbage as far as possible from a device that could fit inside a 4 cubic foot box ( except throw arm). I did a lot of the initial design and calculations. We're limited to 50 pounds of counterwieght but I added a lot more...

One of the major improvements of the HK45 over the USP line of pistols is the magazine release. The HK45 has an EXCELLENT magazine release that runs almost half the length of the trigger guard and allows a shooter to keep their hand in the firing position on the gun while dropping mags with...

Well, I had a few USPs to play with at work along with a postal scale. For those of you interested or curious, I recorded a few weights and took a few pics. The difference between the compact and the full size aren't all that great...The question becomes is 5.5 oz and maybe 1/4" in height and...

So, this morning I nearly had a heart attack. I don't usually carry a wallet with me, just an office binder clip with my cash and necessary bits of plastic. I went for my 930 AM bathroom OON break and when I pulled my phone out of my pocket the cash I had set aside to deposit later must have...

Well, I got my NFA Trust notarized yesterday and am ready to ever so gently dip my toes into the NFA morass. I've got a HK USP 45 Tactical and a HK USC 45 that need some NFA-ing. I just can't decide between SBRing the USC 45 first or buying a TiRant 45 that will be used on the USP and...

So, I have a gun going to Dobbs Defense. It was scheduled to be there yesterday...then it got changed to today...now it's tomorrow because the driver showed up to Dobbs, saw it wasn't a residential address ( despite it being the correct address and marked Dobbs Defense) and didn't deliver it...

I know it's a long shot but why not ask....Anyone know of a local GA, specifically Marietta area, source for HK parts? I need a couple mag releases from an HK45C for my USPs. They are a direct fit and give 50% more contact area...

Maybe this is old news to you all as I have been in an internet porn induced coma for the last 15 years but I just found this today. Pretty damn amazing...

...that falls from the sky that makes people forget how to drive. That is all.

A great new restaurant is opening up. It's just inside the Alabama line on I-85 if you're interested...

So...my wife is finally getting serious about starting her business now that she's finally finished her MBA. She needs some start up money and I can free.up a decent bit of cash by slimming down even more. I am trying to decide which of my pistols to keep and it is proving difficult as they all...

So...I am far behind on the gear side of my life. I have a bunch of nice guns and ammo but not much is the way of carrying it all. I have been looking at "tactical" day packs as of late and have sort of zeroed in on the Grey Ghost Gear Griff Pack. It has some secrete sits into the main...

I was thinking about it last night...There really aren't any guns that excite me at the moment. Even if I had $2k burning a hole i my pocket I don't know what I'd go buy. The only thing I'm interested in is an HK USC 45 but everyone seems to dislike them. I don't care if you dislike them but...

Well, I'm thinking about trading one of my 1911s for an HK45 Compact. I already have a full size HK45 and it has single handedly made me reconsider plastic guns. It is a little big, however. I have no issues carrying it but the HK45C seems just that little bit better for carry. Does anyone here...

Since we are all new here some of you may not know that I am at heart a 1911 guy. I don't care for Glocks at all. Not because I don't think they are excellent tools; I just have no attachment to them and can't shoot them worth crap. I have some very expensive 1911s that I would trust...
