California is really going beyond suck ass
Has anyone noticed how short the DOJ handgun roster is lately?
Colt is no longer on roster, they join S&W, and Ruger as well as all new model Glocks (G4, G5) to drop off.

Every once in a while you guys need a little steel and wood. Here's a 686 I picked up a few weeks ago. Damn, can it shoot (after a little tweaking :D).

Anybody see pictures of the new Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact yet? In 9mm, they lengthened the grip frame and magazines to 15 round capacity, up from 12 in the old 9C.

In other words, S&W's answer to the Glock model 19. Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery.

If anyone is interested grab a gun has ported S&W c.o.r.e kits available for $332 plus shipping. The slides come with ported barrel, 3 core style back straps and mounting plates for red dots.

If you order the only difference I can see, from the manual, is that one slide has the caution capable of firing without magazine engraved on the side and the other doesn't. I wish I had the one without the caution disclaimer on it. It just aesthetics but I don't like it.

Wow man! Did you leave anything for the rest of us? :)

Went the other day to fill out some paperwork for another can. They said the wait is 10-14 months right now??? That's a little ridiculous.... While I was there I picked up a used S&W 1 1/2 in .22 short for only $100.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 
I'd been wanting to get a 9mm carbine of some kind for a while, but was in no hurry and took time to look at some in person. Also, it's become more of a buyer's market these last 9-11 months or so, another reason to not rush into a purchase.

Today I picked up a Freedom Ordnance FX-9, basically an AR platform in 9mm, that uses Glock magazines. Was able to get a (smallish) discount for cash, which allowed me to pick up a set of "iron" sights to throw on the gadget rail.

The FX-9 seems to have a good reputation, but this was the first one I'd seen in person, so I took the time to look it over pretty well. This thing appears fitted up nicely, and the outside looks like they clean the guns up pretty good before putting the finish on. There are certainly some AR makers who don't seem to think that, even in a really crowded field of competitors, they need to get rid of rough spots that a shooter's fingers really won't like.

Anyhow, I will get a chance to try this out on Sunday, hopefully.

Sounds pretty cool. The 9 is really nice in a carbine with the lower recoil which always equals accuracy.

Brian D. 10-30-2017 09:59 AM

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 
I tried out the Freedom Ordnance twice. It was hitting low at 15-20 yards, so I had to shorten the front sight post. Can't say I really like whittling on a brand new gun, or in this case the brand new MagPul back up sights, but it's mine so what the heck. That did the trick, it's dead on now. My 55 year old eyes are asking me to put a red dot scope on the top rail as well.

It functions just fine with all magazines tried, even when some jacketed hollow point ammo was mixed in. Based on my experience, and reviews read on line, I think the company has a winner here. Now, to talk Freedom Ordnance into sending me a logo hat or t-shirt for free! :D

It's been running just fine, I consider testing/break-in to be over. The 16" barrel adds give or take 300 feet per second to 115 grain ammo, compared to say a 4" Glock handgun.

I have it zeroed for 25 yards, which seems to put it an inch or so high at 50 yds. That goes along with what I've read, which further states it should then be almost dead on again at 100.

Anybody else notice the deals on some if not most of Remington's guns lately? For example the little RM380 can be had for $100 with sale price and rebate subtracted.
I think the company has been merged, conglomerated, and reorganized too many times. Plus, a couple of lawsuits on defective products haven't helped.

If you have confidence in their stuff, this may be a good time to buy.

I think Remington is trying to entice customers back with incredible pricing due to the bad press. They have had some hand guns in the past 15 years but I still swear by their rifles and wouldnt have a problem with most of their handguns.

I took advantage of this and picked up my first shotgun this week! Less than $200 for a 870 12 Gauge. Should serve me well as I get my hunting license and begin down that path.

Nice and light to carry. I opted to get the Taran Butler +3 base pad then you have 9+1 rounds of 9mm

bonjing 11-24-2017 09:53 PM

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 
Depends on on your hands. The 43 moves around in my hand a lot but it’s a defensive piece not a shoot all day piece. I use the pierce plus one pinky extension and it doesn’t stick out much. I like the slim feeling of the 43 and even with the streamlight light and laser combo it’s still very light.

Added a glock 22 rtf 2 with the fish gills to the collection. Waiting for a ria mapp to come in

Nice and small, grip too small for me, I carry shields, better size for me and I don’t shoot Glocks anymore.

Which italian repro and what model? I may be able to help. My blue book hasnt been updated in a few years but should still be pretty close to right unless its almost new.

I'm with Remo on this the 43 is way too small for me but heck I got paws bigger n most peoples heads. I say shop around, try several in that size and caliber. The shield is a great option equally reliable, the Taurus curve is also a great option. If used is an option the Baikal/Makarov in 9x18 or 380 are great options . They are copies of the Walther PPK and equally reliable and very accurate. One last I would highly recommend is the Sig Sauer P225 or the P938 the are a little more expensive than any of the above though.
