Both forms went pending in Feb... the wait is gonna feel like eons!

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

It's slowly fading away.

We still have sticks and stones and now we can add mean triggering words to the arsenal :r

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Join a gang and then all guns they have are just fine in Cali

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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).

She's a beauty! I like old wheel guns as well.

What photo site should I use now that photo bucket turned to a crap site?

I used Imgur to post the photo above. Seems to work well.

That is a beautiful gun!

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Lol. I'll stick with Glock Perfection.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

But Dan, Glock's slogan has been "Perfection" since the Generation 2 guns, and they're up to Gen5 now. I guess they are "even more perfecter" now..:r

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Lol. Perfection infinity +1

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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.

My next must have. Sig Legion P220

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

I picked up a Charter Arms .38 in "gator" skin, a Sig SP2022 in 9mm, a Ruger American .450 Bushmaster, a Ruger American 6.5 Creedmoor, a Savage .17 HMR, a Windham AR-15 .223 and I'm sure there is a few others I forgot.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Nice pick ups Andrew.

Have a bcm 14.5 with a pin and weld on the way.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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...
 

One of my newer acquisitions... a 3rd Gen. Smith & Wesson Semi-automatic

Model 6946 - a police trade-in marked N.P.D.

My newest pick up. RIA 1911

https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...1f&oe=5A71E149

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.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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

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

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Think I may have that same holster :)

Going sometime this week to pickup a new 1911 to add to the collection. I will post some photos if I can get this new photo uploader working....

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Picked it up on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing how it does.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Looks good Hal.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Sounds like a fun pick up.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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.

This RIA Tac II Ultra CS is en route to my FFl :tu

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

On a different note, I just picked up a Makarov in the 9mm short. Had the egyptian version of this pistol in 380 about 20 years and its one of those I should have never let get away!

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Good grab!

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

So I’m looking at getting a glock 43 for concealed carry. Any thought pro or con? Figured since I’ve been in Texas for a year now I need a gun like everyone else.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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

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

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Anybody here subscribe to the online Blue Book of Gun Values? I probably should. Been trying to figure out what to ask for an Italian-reproduction black powder revolver and Gunbroker doesn't have much to go on. Prices of the few listed there are all over the map.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

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.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

+1 on the Shield. In the woods my G20 is good, but for concealed I like the S&W.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

PSA AR-15 in 5.56/.223 complete upper and lower purchased separately in OD.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Good score Joe!

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Very nice. That will be my next purchase and will likely build my own just to say I did it.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Nice score on the AR.


On the Italian reproduction... In my experience they haven't been worth much more than a couple hundred bucks.

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 

Finally picked up a new rifle that I've had my eye on for a while. Suppressor is paid for but waiting on them to give me the ok.

Only put 50 down the pipe so far. Figure 200 will be a good break in point.

Break-in or Break-the-bank point? .50 can't be cheap to shoot... ;)

Nice pick-up though! :banger:banger

Great cannon Hal.
