Nice workmanship, but so elaborate...

I've always been partial to Blade-Tech holsters. The Blade-Tech Nano is a nice, simple approach to IWB .

Having said that...not everyone can use an IWB carry option. Women, for example, have trouble...especially if they are slim and style-oriented. If I were going to carry IWB I'd prefer a double-sheet pancake of .08 Kydex with tuckable loops like a Raven Concealment. Not going to be as durable as a .125 Kydex fold-over, but the profile is lower and the pressure is spread out over a wider distance. In my case, instead of paying $85 and waiting 4-5 months, I'd make it myself along these lines for about $10 in materials.

Took the LC9 to the range today. 300 rounds of Federal Champion and 14 rounds of Speer GD 124gr +p later and no malfunctions, even limp wristing it. The only issue was I only got to shoot it for maybe 50 rounds... she had the rest.

It's a very snappy little thing. The checkering on the front of the grip hurts after a while, so we ordered a Hogue slip on for it to see how that feels.

The only thing I'm worried about is her keeping on showing me up at the range. She could be a competition shooter if she really wanted to.

So, this thread has sort of died off a bit... new topic...

What is your carry ammo?

My G26 likes Speer Gold Dot 124gr +p JHP. Super reliable and accurate round for me.

Thanks Paul :tup:

I use Winchester RA9TA (127 +P+) in my G26, and RA9T (the 147gr std pressure version) in my longer-barrel 9mm glocks. Gold Dot is an awesome choice too though, and it's what I'd use if my supply of the above ran out and I couldn't find more to buy.

If I couldn't find any more Gold Dots I'd really want to give those RA9TAs or Federal HSTs a try. They look really interesting.

Couldn't get a gen 4 glock if i wanted to cause. Thanks kali

127gr +P+ Ranger T-Series.

That's the "RA9TA" model number I quoted above, FYI.

Not sure how Kel-Tecs are viewed here, but I've got an itch to go get a PF9 to play around with. I held one at the gun shop last week and kind of liked it. Since I already have a reliable carry piece I wouldn't mind dropping $250 on the Kel-Tec, peform the "fluff & buff" and see how well the gun works out.

What do you guys think about the kel tec shotty? I like it. it's a cool bullpup style and what not. Hopefully it will be available in kali. Although it would of been nice if they made is semi auto.

Looking to buy a .22LR AR style
 

This will be my first .22lr and i've been thinking a lot about getting one. It seems fun to plink all day :)

I have a piston ar15 (pof). I noticed that its only for use for DI ar's but on cmmg website it states that i can just remove the piston parts which isn't a problem.
DIRECT QUOTE from CMMG's website:
("Note: For Direct Gas Impingement AR-15's. Not compatible with Gas Piston Systems without removing the piston. Only for use in 5.56 NATO chambered AR-15 rifles.")

So my question is what are the pros and cons for buying the conversion kit instead of a full complete upper other than the cost savings?

Will my rifle get more dirty (I assume it would if it gets really dirty i may opt for the complete upper)? Will it be less accurate compared to a regular dedicated upper .22lr because of the twist rate?

Shortened the barrels life (if you shot a lot of .22lr and 5.56 ammo) and may add up cause it's so cheap to shot .22's.

I was thinking of getting a full upper cause i already have spikes ar15 lower and a trigger system already and i would need is a butt stock and maybe few other accessories.

If i chose to go with the complete upper instead of the kit, cmmg has upgrades to the upper. Can you guys explain some of these upgrades and if it's needed? well i don't care for the handguard upgrade. But not sure what some of these other upgrades mean and if it's a good idea to get them or waste of money which im not trying to spend a whole lot. But if it's a good idea i will get it.

Also is this upper the new evolution or the upgraded version from the previous upper?


Bolt Upgrade
Upper Receiver Upgrade
Collar Upgrade
Handguard Upgrade
Rifle Kit Upgrade
Bolt Hold Open Actuator Upgrade

Here's a direct link of the upper upgrades CMMG complete upper

Can you guys suggest any other decent .22lr uppers other than cmmg? I was looking into chiappa barrels .22lr but one guy said that it has a fake forward assist and fake flash hider. Not sure about the quality of this company. But it's pretty cheap (under $300 for an upper).

Any suggestions and advise would be great cause i'm pretty serious of getting one.

Thanks.
