PX4 Type F Full (obviously)

I looked REALLY hard at the CZ 75 too. But I was turned off by how annoying it was to disassemble lol. No tools required for the PX4!

Somewhat done modding the Z (for now), so I started a new hobby. A hobby I avoided for a while because of where I used to live (NJ) and that I knew it would be highly addictive.

My first gun, definitely not my last.

S&W M&P9C

I'm looking at picking up a gun safe. Probably a mid-size 14 gun capacity. I want both shelves and long gun rack. And I don't want to spend more than $1k. Any suggestions on brand or type I should focus on?

$1000-and-under safes aren't all that safe. If you're looking to optimally protect your guns from theft or fire, you're looking at $2500 and up. My approach has always been to just use locking cabinets (Stack-On or similar)to keep the kids out, keep them out of sight (hard to move and/or hide a full-on gun safe), and spend the extra money on a replacement-value firearms insurance rider.

My buddy has a locking cabinet and they won't do nothing. There just basically really thin sheet of metal.

Get a decent quality gun safe. I think 1k is enough to deter most burglars any how since most are smash and grab. Just have a house alarm to go with it your good to go. Oh and bolt ur safe down to.

A thief with a hammer punch, and crowbar will take about 5 minutes longer to get into a $1000 gun safe than he will getting into a $200 StackOn. I agree, if you're going to get a safe get a good one, not one that costs $1000.

hey guys i'm sort of in the market for an AR now.
Since there's so many different variations, it gets very confusing.

What's a decent one that's isn't crazy expensive.
Would it be better to buy separate uppers and lowers or is there one that's a decent pre-built one already?

and why the heck are there so many names for it? LOL it makes it even more confusing for newbs.

There are so many different AR's on the market that range from ~$700 for an S&W M&P 15 sporter to about $3k for an HK MR556. Although the S&W's are cheap $, I believe they come with a lifetime warranty. My personal favorite is LWRC for many reasons, but you would be looking at around $2200. Since you are in CA my advice to you would be to join Calguns and read a lot since there are some very CA specific things that you have to watch out for. You can also assemble your own for relatively cheap and learn the ins and outs of the AR platform, which many people would recommend. I usually go with JD Machines stripped uppers and lowers and assemble off of that if I'm going the DIY route.

S&W Sporter is about as far down the quality scale as I'd go on an AR15. Below that you have the Bushmasters, RRAs, etc.

You can get a Colt 6920 for about $950. I'd go that route for my first rifle. Learn to shoot it, maintain it, what works for your purposes.
