Time to make our own.

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

I don't think we can expect any journalistic integrity from the anti-gun lefties.

home protection and just a go shoot gun i would buy a smaller to carry later

yeah the xdm would be a carry for me

I didn't read it, but any 5.56 is going to penetrate soft armor. JHP, JSP, FMJ, doesn't matter. It's going through. No 5.56 (except maybe M995) is going to do squat to SAPI plates other than shatter them. Same for proper trauma plates, which are rated to withstand .30 caliber AP.

So basically...any rifle round of note will go through soft armor. No rifle round of common origin will go through plates. In a nut shell, with plenty of exceptions to be discovered if you are asinine.

With handguns, JHP, FMJ, doesn't matter either, if the armor is rated to stop it, it's not coming through, and most soft armor stops most handgun rounds.

Part of why I am starting project SBR:

-Factory registered Noveske Gen II lower
-Geissele SSA
-Aimpoint T1 2MOA sitting on LT751
-LMT SOPMOD
-Surefire M600A
-LaRue FUG
-Troy BUIS
-Noveske upper using their CHF barrel, Vltor MUR/VIS, Switchblock, in 10.5" length
-Surefire 212 flash-hider with a 556-212 suppressor (Yes, I know I will get baffle erosion more with the FH, but it's still not going to matter for about 10K rounds, and I have another suppressor that sits on the shelf chillin' out until something happens to my primary. They are clones for the purpose of replacement, paperwork still pending on can #2).

I have everything but the upper and the lower is still in "jail", but built and ready. It has a 12.5" upper on it currently that I will probably use mostly unsuppressed.

Finished product should look similar to this:

Of course, slightly different as the stock, suppressor (M42000) and T1 mount differ from my setup, but you get the idea. Over-all length of the barrel with suppressor in place will be about 15", and I should be getting 2575-2675fps out of M855/MK318 from it. MK318 will upset down to around 2,000fps or so, so should be solid performer out to nearly 200 yards, especially with some of the TSX stuff from Barnes.

A buddy and me out shooting at our little private range. Experimenting with a GoPro camera.

Dunno how you're running it, but they make a 1913 attachment for the GoPro now.

I am thinking about building an AR pistol, which, at some point in the future might do the paperwork to SBR. I think I'm just gonna start by buying a stripped lower.

Priority now is getting my reloading equipment.

Just Form 1 a lower and forget about it. By the time you want it, maybe it will be approved. :tiphat:

Well I have to set up my trust and everything for that. And I lack motivation to do that right now.

I decided I no longer have an excuse for NOT having black pearl grips on my stainless 1911.

Not going to lie, I think I found the perfect birthday present to myself



Anyone own any Esmeralda O'Sheehans?

Heh, I was thinking about the same thing, but then I decided that I would rather have a FN Five_seveN instead. It is kind of the same concept, but more compact and "practical". In fact you have started to make me think about getting a FN Five_seveN :shakes head:

I've got a FiveseveN on my list as well. God damnit.

:yum::yum::yum:
i want one too but next one on my list is an AR so i can shoot 3gun competitions

Wish I could afford a fiveseven. but they are just too darn expensive. Heard they are a dream to shoot tho.

That GoPro is mounted on the StrikeMark cantilever rail mount. It's not a very good mount...mounts awkwardly and is thin enough that it makes a resonant "twang" with ever shot. I also have the GoPro-specific Strikemark mount and it's not any better. There's a guy on another forum that makes these and appears to be much beefier and better designed.

The priorities for me right now are to get all of my reloading equipment, get an optic for the AR, and just get a lot of trigger time. I doubt I will buy anything new this year aside from a lower or two for future builds.

Those are purty :tup:

Here is a lower worth buying (I have been waiting for the non-chainsaw Gen2 lower for months now): Rainier Arms™ | Browse | Receivers - Lowers | Noveske Lower Receiver - 5.56MM GEN2 CHAINSAW

:drama:So... what's everyone's "range" gun? I mostly shoot pistol for work so mine is the Glock 34

IPSC
G34 for Production
Springfield 1911 9mm for Single Stack

I picked up a H&K P30L 9mm for the range. Every once in ahile I will take my Ruger GP100 and use .38 Special. Since I have been shooting more recently .40SW and .45ACP adds up quickly.

My Glock 17 and my Springfield Range Officer.

1911 and Marlin 99c

Can't get a signature in your area?

:yum:

We should have a Range meet :excited:

I can get a signature, I would just prefer to have all NFA items owned by my trust.

Glock 19, Walther PPS, S&W M&P 9L in about that order (based on proficiency needs). I also routinely shoot my AR15 SBR and 16-inch mid-length. Among other reasons, the pistols won't detonate Tannerite.

Gotcha. Makes sense. I am single and want to safeguard my investments, should I ever fall into the trap that is marriage. Angry divorcees cannot legally get personally registered NFA items very easily.

NFA items make up a pretty small percentage of the firearms I own. I'd have many bigger things to worry about in the unlikely event of a divorce.

There are advantages to trusts, but not many of them apply to me to the point where I see it as worth the hassle. Just as easy for me to send in the Form 1. I'm still using passport photos I had shot 4 years ago, my fingerprints are electonically stored at the Sheriff's office...all I need to do is ask them to print me a couple of copies, and the Sheriff is a friend so getting him to sign it is simple.

I debate whether or not I want an SBR. More realistically I would get a suppressor. That would be fun.

I gotta say, the ease of carrying, ease of manipulation, ease of aiming makes either of my 11.5 inch SBRs a real joy to use. The shorter barrel has caused me to give up nothing and gain a tremendous amount. I find I rarely pack up my Light Recce anymore, and in training I usually only bring it along as a backup. As to a suppressor, that would be cool and I'd put one on one of the SBRs in a heartbeat if they were legal in this state.

Any one here have an HK45? I am looking at getting one for my backpack gun. My G19 is my current go to right now but I would rather have a 45 for the woods. Its hit or miss of my local shop has one and I have yet to see the LEM model to try out.

Why would you want a .45 for the woods? Won't do you any good against any large animals. I'd look at a .357 Magnum revolver at minimum. Not sure what you have to contend with out there.

The biggest that I have to deal with would be black bear, but those are very rare. Its mostly for the 2 legged creatures running around, I always carry when I go hiking and camping. I am looking into a SW 357 right now but want other options.

I don't have a HK45, but I do have a H&K USP .45 (and .40) and P30L (which is very similiar to the HK45 but in 9mm). I am in the market for a HK45C because even though the "spiderman" adjustable grips are comfortable I find that I am better at shooting the USP and my H&K P2000SK which are flatter and more square.

For hiking I bring my Ruger GP100 .357...for some reason it just feels like the right gun. If all else fails you can use it as a cudgel or a hammer :)

I used to have a 45C. Sad to say I don't recommend them. Real nice ergonomics, and real smooth to shoot. But for some reason, about 1 out of every 10 shots or so, the hammer would fail to c0ck. Like I'd fire off a round, the slide would eject the shell and put another one into the chamber, but when the slide returned to battery, the hammer followed along rather than staying cocked back! Thinking it might just be my pistol, and went and tried another one. Same thing! Not sure what the deal is. That never happens on any of my other pistols. I've also had USPs, USP Compacts, and various other HK pistols like the P2000SK, and none of them did this.

holy crap i want one of these hahahaha

BUG-A-SALT: The Original Salt Gun

Do you per chance shoot 1911s a lot? If so do you let your right thumb ride/rest on the safety?

I have done this a lot.
