What would work? Please clarify.

I think he is talking about the 'bra' holsters..... :tup:

:icon14:

If that's the case. The wife doesn't like them. She likes the bicycle shorts or the hip band if she not carrying her purse.

The wife isn't fawn of the tee shirts. Says the seams on the shirt are itchy. Have to beat them off of a rock when she washes it to soften it up.

:icon23: :D

:tiphat:

Got the wife Crimson Trace laser sights for her 9mm Shield. :D

Nice

There's probably going to be some haters on this (my wife is one of them), but I had an extra shotgun lying around, so I started to playing with ideas to make it a little more unique...

Ended up turning it into a bullpup. Took about 10 inches off of the total length.

Here's a quick 'photochop' of the before and after from some stock photography any my phone camera for comparison.

To the guys running the under steering colum holster where did you find it or what holster did you find that was usable? Don't like keeping it between my knees or in the door panel, it just doesn't give the retention I like. In my XTerra it sat perfect between the ebrake and center console there isn't a natural spot like that on the Z. Also with a full frame 1911 just leaving it in my holster isn't a comfortable option while driving.

Don't know why any one who knows room clearing would hate on a bullpup. You lose absolutely no ballistics and can get moving a around the enviroment with less chance of clearing a corner before u can and engage and signaling your location. Who's the manufacturer on that set up?

The kit is produced by a company called Bullpup Unlimited. Currently they make a kit for the Mossberg 500/590 as well as the Remington 870. I was a little dubious about it at first, but after installing it I'm quite pleased. It feels solid and even more comfortable than the original.

Now this is a good way to start the year! FINALLY got my G36 back from the armorer. It was there for the final step of the conversion from a standard HK SL8 rifle. I did all the little stuff myself, but didn't feel comfortable when it came to the cutting and welding. Fantastic work by Tommy-Built Tactical.

I have all 3 barrel lengths for it, but I've currently got the C length (the shortest) on it. (And yes, all NFA paperwork has been completed long ago, so she's completely legal :)

Nice! :tup:

I want a HK MP5-10. That's a 9mm MP5 converted to a 10mm. The FBI have used it in the past.

Yeah. Those are great. I'm not a huge fan of 10mm myself... I just don't think the MP5 looks right with the 10mm's straight mags. (Plus, I don't have much use for that particular round, but it does have great ballistics.)

If you don't mind the wait time, Dakota Tactical makes one of the best MP5s in the world, second only to the original... but not by much.

I used to have one of their standard MP5s. Beautiful piece.

My buddy, who works for DHS. Has shot the MP5-10. He loves it. That's how I found out about it.

General question... Concerning defensive carry ammo, how often do y'all buy fresh rounds?

Anyone here into firearms?
 

I shoot the carry mag load every 3 months or so and cycle in new ammo.

That also serves to test it in your firearm and you can feel confident that it is going to shoot that ammo reliably. Never a bad idea when your life is on the line.

The shelf life of most ammo is measured in decades. I don't carry, so moisture may be a bigger problem than I think it is, but going by decades of plinking with handguns and rifles, decent quality ammo doesn't go bad unless it gets wet (degrades the propellant and corrodes the brass and lead). If the brass and lead look good, the ammo should be good. YMMV

Put finger nail polish around the primer and case mouth to help preserve the round. ;) I do this with my hunting rounds if I know the weather will be bad.

To past my time while I heal up from foot surgery. I started to read a book called "Applied Ballistics For Long Range Shooting" by Bryan Litz. It's deep in tech. A lot of science. :eek:

Anyone ever use this aluminum case ammo?

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...363b7f89cd.jpg

Looks like the old CCI Blazer rounds. Which I used to use in my MAC10 45ACP. Haven't seen them around for awhile. You can't reload it because the case has 2 flash holes for the primer. It's a Berdan primer.

I shot a hundred rounds of 9mm through a Walther P4 with no problems. Don't remember which brand they were.

As per Rusty, they can't be reloaded.

Totally agree in terms of shelf life. As in, sitting on a shelf. In regards to carry ammo, specifically, you do need to cycle it through and keep it fresh. Problem comes in when you constantly carry. Powder essentially breaks up into smaller pieces from the constant motion. It will change the ballistics of the round and increase chamber pressure exponentially as the powder will burn at a much higher rate.

You also run the risk of partially burnt powder and may get a bullet lodged in the bore. These are all fairly unlikely scenarios but they must be considered as it has previously occurred.

I suppose you really only have to worry about this if the case isn't completely filled and there is room for the powder to move. So it would vary from load to load. I imagine most P+P rounds would never have this issue. Any standard, non-+P round will likely steer toward the need to cycle. But I'm OCD. I only stated what I do with my ammo. You could easily go several years with the same carry ammo. But for myself? Eh, life is more important than an extra $50 for a new box of ammo.

What gets to be more of a problem then round rotation is actual magazine maintenance. Mags need to be cleaned and oiled just like the rest of the fire arm and springs allowed to relax. Rotating ammo normally reminds people to do this.

Magazine maintenance mostly depends on the mag itself. Some mags need to be cleaned and lubed regularly some don't. Also some mag's springs don't need to be relaxed on a regular basis either.

My Pmags and Lancer AR-15 mags don't need to be lubed and unless they get really dirty, like if I dropped one in mud or sand, don't really need to be cleaned. If they do get really dirty I just take them apart and wipe them down with a clean dry rag with out any solvent or oil. My HK pistol mags (with one exception) are the same way.

Like cleaning and lubing, mags spring maintenance varies depending on the mag. Some mags need to be exercised, unloaded, and/or rotated and some mags don't. This varies a lot even with the same gun. Depending on the manufacture some AR-15 mags need to unloaded and rotated while other don't. I usually rotate my AR-15 mags just because.

Now my HK USP 45 10 round brady bill mags (that one exception) springs can only stay loaded a month or two before encountering slide lock back issues. Also they need regular cleaning and light lubing to ensure the slide locks back on the last round. When the brady bill ended and I was able to get the 12 round USP 45 mags all those issue went away. I can run those mags dirty and leave them loaded for very long periods of time. One time I was out of country for over a year and had accidentally left some of my UPS 45 12 round mags and HK45 mags fully loaded. When I got back and realized that had happened I thought I had messed up my mags. I didn't unload them instead I took them to the range still fully loaded and tested them. To my surprise they all worked flawlessly and I have never had an issue with them.

It really boils down to you knowing what your firearm needs and doesn't need when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. :tup:

Speaking of mags, Nuntfancy recently posted a vid on AR-15 mag reliability.
No ground breaking info but I still found it interesting.

Did some modifying to the 870. New magpul furniture and a low profile mag clamp with a rail for my tac light (tlr-1 hl).

LOVE it! I'm considering an 870 or Mossburg for my next build. I've got a few shotguns already but nothing I would consider "tactical" I want to build one and get one of those shelves that have a case drop out of the bottom to hide it in the bedroom, or a slide-away mirror.

I want to try trap shooting this year. I wonder how this 870 will do. Hahaha.

I met an ffl on my delivery route last night. Got to talking and he invites me into his house and shows me his gun room. Very cool guy. Picked up a spas-12 off his shelf and handed it to me. Good lord that gun is cool.

SPAS-12...:yum::yum::yum:

Been aloooong time since I last seen a SPAS-12. Been almost as long since I heard talk of one. They quit importing them in '94. The new version is SPAS-15. Only about 180 of them was imported. Had an 8 round box mag. If you can find a SPAS-12. They're going for about $3000.00

A spas-12 is on my firearm bucket list. They're just too cool.

I think I saw a few spas-12 on gunbroker. It looked like an elephant on his rack next to all his other rifles.
