Anyone here into firearms?

I've got a SA Range Officer which is a pretty nice range gun. Super accurate.

All my carry guns are Glocks. I shoot them pretty well but I shoot the SA way better.

my SA Loaded is a range whore lol

~ 10K rounds since march and still running strong

Does anybody else use the iSnipe app on their iPhone? I would highly recommend it, especially if you a noob to distance shooting like me. I just got back from a day of shooting in the high-desert in CA to finally get to use and zero my REPR. I've never really used a .308 passed 100m before, but after I zeroed it I took a silhouette out to 500 yards and with the app I was pinging it from the very first shot. It felt good to not waste almost $1.75 each on any missed shots. Next time I'll try add a couple hundred more yards.

Also finally got to use my new Kimber 1911 for the first time. With all the hate I see on that brand I expected to be disappointed, but I experienced nothing negative with the ~70 rounds I put through it so far. Definitely easier to manage the recoil and follow-up shots compared to my Glock 30.

No I think he's talking AK47 vs AK74. One is 7.62x39 and the other is 5.45x39

That is correct...I am looking to buy an AK with a folding stock, but now I am trying to decide between a AK-47 (7.62mm) or AK-74 (5.45mm) clone. I have read that the 5.45 round has better ballistics and is much more accurate but is less available. I wanted to go to the gun show this weekend to see if there was any bulk 5.45 ammo around but didn't make it, so I wanted to see from the rest of you if you have found it hard to get your hands on such ammo.

I would rather buy/build an AR than get an AK, though.

Yeah, I am becoming a lot less gung ho about an AK especially since if I were to get the good caliber it would almost defeat the reason for owning an AK. Instead I might buy a Ruger Mark III Hunter which in my mind would make a superb target and survival firearm. Colorado is rich with squirrels, rabbits and ground hogs and I can carry 2000 rounds in my back pocket (which would cost $8.99 at Walmart). I could use it for food and use my AR for the two-legged predators in some hypothetical survival situation. Plus both types of ammo are plentiful in the US.

Speaking of buying AND building an AR; Here is the final incarnation of my new LMT gas piston rifle:

16” LMT Defender 2000 MRP CQB gas piston
Geisselle Super Semi-Automatic trigger
BCM Gunfighter charging handle
BAD *** (safety selector) lever
Troy Industries Ambidextrous magazine release
Magpul MBUS Front GEN 2 sight
Magpul MBUS Rear GEN 2 sight
Magpul RVG front grip
Magpul BAD lever (ambidextrous bolt carrier release)
Magpul MOE grip
Magpul aluminum trigger guard
Magpul CTR Restricted butt stock
Trijicon RMR red dot scope
BattleComp 1.5 Black Oxide compensator

I played that game. Arsenal SA-M7. Sold about a month later. Not my bag.

Selection does seem very limited on the ammo sites I use.

I've had my Range Officer for a couple months now and I'm already over it. :|

I'm over my G17, too. I've got some use for the 19. 26 and my Kahr see the most action.
