Anyone here into firearms?

Jimmy-D · 09-15-2013, 11:59 PM

Here's my latest build. Spike's Lower, Core-15 upper with 9.5" barrel in 300 Blackout. Threw in the Kimber Ultra Eclipse for good measure.

Is it ok to tell you guys about the sale, or advice on an asking price? Only 200 rounds fired.

Mods included are Black Milspec Enhanced VLTOR Modstock combo, 2x 30 round mags and the stock mag that came with the gun. Also included is a Kvar rail, KCI Trigger Pin Retainer Plate, and soft grip

The forum can't be used to all firearms at all, so likely, you cannot.

Talking about asking prices is probably fine, but linking to the for sale thread isn't, I'd guess.

I bought a pinky extention for the shorter mag from CheaperThanDirt. Put it on the mag tonight and I have to say, it makes a big difference. You can get a much better grip with all five fingers on the gun and the pinky not hanging out like a 5th wheel...

Heading to go shoot with some friends tomorrow, we'll see how it goes.

So anyone has experience building a 1911 80% frame?

I do have a 1911 and they are very easy to break down...

Any one else carry a Ruger P90? It is big, bulky but it fits my hands, hips very well

dtul · 10-05-2013, 03:36 AM

I have a couple shotguns, just bought a Winchester SX3 12 gauge and also have a Browning BPS Ducks Unlimited 20 gauge.

I am planning on buying my first pistol soon since I just turned 21 recently. Any recommendations? I am thinking either a G19 or G23 since I have smaller or hands or possibly an XD. I found a really good deal on a an XD .45 GAP, but I'm just worried that it will be too hard to find ammo for it, so I haven't pulled the trigger yet (see what I did there?). Anyways if you guys can recommend any good range guns for a newer shooter it would be much appreciated.

I recently got a Glock 19x9 and it fits my small hand reasonably well but not what I would call great. The best fit for me is my Walther P4 but they can be difficult to find nowadays (and are pretty heavy). It's your hand; try out a bunch of different pistols and see which one fits you best.

I'd stay away from the GAP unless you plan on loading your own. I've got a G19, and its a great pistol but Glock ergonomics leave something to be desired. Take a look at the S&W M&Ps. They fit the hand well. The Glock does have more parts and accessories available for it if you're the type to modify things.

Or just go buy a 1911. Eventually every gun guy will own one. A Browning Hi-power is another great pistol that gets overlooked since its old school and not made out of plastic, but I love mine.

You know your guns Chuck! I'm looking into a XD .45 right now. I bought a Glock 19 for self defense and the wife is a good shot with it. But that muzzle flip is crazy! While wet were sitting one day she had a hot casing cine back at her and fall right into her tits.

With the smaller Glocks it seems like the best way to deal with the muzzle flip is to grip it really high and push your wrist up into the grip of the pistol. It's hard to explain, but once you have the gun in hand it'll make sense.

Now she knows not to be showing cleavage at the range. Could be worse, I had a piece of hot brass bounce off the underside of my hat and wedge itself behind the nosepiece of my safety glasses. Hurt like a sonofabitch.

That XD is a nice piece. My dad just picked up the compact 45 for glovebox duty. If I didn't already have a bunch of Glocks, I would have gone XD. They point more naturally. Or more like a 1911, which is what a gun should point like.
