My H&K 416 D145RS .22 LR

Affordable, great quality rifle...affordable shooting. How could you go wrong?

Very nice.

Thanks! It's definitely a great value. :tup:

Imperial, I had that same Bushnell scope. Not bad at all for the $. Ended up selling it and getting a Vortex Viper PST 1-4x. Take a look at that scope too, you might like it!

I checked it out, it doesn't quite have the aesthetics I prefer but thanks for the tip. If anything I would replace it with their StrikeFire model or the Burris XTS 135

Welcome to the Life of Duty Network for all LEO/MIL members.

any suggestions for iwb holster for full size 1911 at 3 oclock with forward cant? concealed btw

Comp-Tac MTAC. Love mine.

:( having problems with my gun

i shot 800 rounds of FMJ through it with probably < 5 Failure to Eject.
yesterday i tried some Federal JHPs and didnt even get through a box of 50.
The slide jams up and I cant even rack it

as you can see in this pic the slide lock isnt engaged but the slide is stuck'

called customer service and they gave me a fedex overnight shipping label for it...and since it's going to be back at springfield i figured i'll do some mods too.
-checker front strap
-front strap undercut
-new target sights with tritium
-3 lb trigger pull

Ack! That's a total bummer. From what I know that is the deal with 1911s...they can be a bit fickle and you have to have some gunsmithing interest and ability to maintain them. Which I don't think is a bad thing at all. That is really the reason I will always recommend a Glock to new or casual gun owners. No doubt there is a 1911 in my future. I am eyeing the Volkmann Precision pistols myself. I am sure that Springfield will get that baby working smoothly.

Let us know how it goes.

^ yeah don't want to deal with a 1911 right now, although they look and are badass :tup:

I'm going for either a CZ75 or a PX4 myself. Can't make up my mind, hopefully the store will have them and I can hold both for a little bit. It's been a while since I held the CZ75 so don't really remember it, but I adore the PX4.

Dual action on the PX4 was measured at a 9LB trigger pull :icon14:

Alright...I have gone a bit 9mm crazy as of late. After never owning one and picking one up a few months ago I am hooked on they way they shoot (low recoil). I bought the H&K P2000SK and Glock 19 for concealed handgun purposes, but I wanted something with a longer sight length for shooting at the range (I just purchased a membership just recently). So here is the new purchase (it's a H&K P30L 9mm):

On a side note, I was feeling like "the dude that owns more than two cats" by owning four ARs; a little bit of a weirdo. So I decided to sell one of my Bushmasters to finance the purchase of my new H&K.

^ nice! haha

my next one will probably be an AR

grrrrr why does turner's have to have the berreta 92FS on sale...its staring me in the face :roflpuke2:

:rofl2: get it! GET IT!!!

Going to be ordering one next pay day. went and saw one in person. exactly what i am looking for. i just wonder the difference between the MTAC and the CTAC. i see the CTAC is cheaper.

bastard lol

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 get my Px4 back from Robar tomorrow so you're welcome to shoot it whenever.

hahaha he already bought one but i neglected to ask which one

=X im 75% gonna buy a 92FS after work

I like the 92FS

MTAC has a full leather backing that offers more support and stability. The CTAC is a full Kydex holster attached to two belt clips on either side. Not as stable and probably not as comfortable against your skin, but maybe more comfortable in the summer.

i got mine :tup:

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!

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?

im going to a friends house to shoot a judge :) 410 mmm

$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.

Gun safes

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.

hmmm...lifetime warranty sounds appealing to a newb like me.

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.

so bushmasters isn't good? my uncle seems to like bushmasters and dpms lol but he's more into the big bore stuff so i'm not sure if he's a good source for a 223

i'll look into the colt thanks :tup:

Bushmaster quality is excellent as I have had serveral over the years and never had any issues unlike other manufacturers. Back in the day there were only two choices; Colt and Bushmaster. You will find that in the AR niche there are extreme fanboys of one make or the other. Since all these other johnny-come-lately ARs have been introduced the sellers and buyers have felt compelled to rag on Bushmaster in order to get their part of the market since Colt has such a good reputation backed up by the fact that they supply the military. Bushmaster had at one time an issue with improperly staked BCGs, but I have never seen one. IMO you are paying $200 for the name stamped on the side if you go for Colt (oh, and they are more "milspec"...I can get a can of tomatoes that are "milspec", it doesn't mean they are better).

Bushmaster is a good brand if you are on a budget, but if you want to spend some bucks and get a premium AR look into Noveske, LMT and BCM.

I am sure that someone will disagree with my assessment, but keep in mind that I have actually owned Colts, a Noveske (my current favorite), LMTs and Bushmasters which have all performed very well.

The only AR I would stay away from is Armalite and Olympic as I have owned those and did indeed have issues.
