Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I just joined the other week. Still haven't had time to browse it all the way yet.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Since I am new to the rifle secen still, I was looking up some good tips to clean the AR. I came across this video.

I don't think I learned anything other than pink is a nice color.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I picked up a Traditions Pursuit UL .50 cal muzzleloader and this week I also got a S&W Bodyguard .380 with the built in laser. Pre-Christmas gifts to myself :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Cool, let me know how you like that .380.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Will do Mike. I haven't even shot it yet but plan to use it as a backup/off duty while I'm at work. With my small frame it's hard to conceal a G23.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I am loving my Shield!!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Who here shoots the two dot night sights? or the Straight 8? I have always been a 3 dot guy but I went with the two dot Ameriglo night sights for my shield, I will get them intalled in short order, my question for anyone is if they think target aquisition is any faster with two as opposed to 3 dots?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have some 9mm ammo that I just recently shot. I have had it for a few months now before I shot it. It looks dirty and it is reman. I have had a few bullets that where in the mag and did not fire. Happened prolly about 10 times.

Should I sell this ammo cheap or is there anything I should be concerned about if I keep it and waste it?

I also don't want to sell it if that is bad.

Ideas?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I wouldn't sell. Shoot through them and be very careful about misfires and clean your 9 well.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have a few pistols with the 2 dot and a few with the 3 dot. I can't honestly say which one I prefer more but it did take me a little adjusting once I bought the first 2 dot.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

How does the cheesiness matter? Not that I leave it dirty anyways.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I prefer the straight-8 over the I-dot even though they are basically the same. The serrations on the Heinie's sight make focusing and lining up the sight easier, I don't know how to explain it but it makes for a better sight picture for me. As for being faster to acquire just depends on your training. For low light/night shooting I prefer the 2 dot versus 3 dot, it just seems less cluttered.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Thanks for the input on the sights, I will get mine on this week and then get some shooting in, I qualified with my Shield last night , 94/100 pushed a couple left as I am not yet used to the slimmer grip.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Mike, did you get the 9 or the .40 Shield? Just curious if you shot both and how they felt. I'm starting to get serious about picking up something for carrying. I already have a Glock .40. Would like to stick with the same ammo if possible. I know too I need to try them myself cause each person is different, just looking for other opinions.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

9mm like my full size.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Is it yours? What is it? I think I see a Colt medallion.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Put a hundred or so rounds through my Shield last night with my new two dot sights, I like the sights just fine, still getting used to the thinness of the Shield and be mindful not to get too much finger on the trigger, but sure is fun to shoot!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Looks like it was caught in a tornado. Grips replaced. Maybe it was buried in a load of gravel in a dump truck and then found again and cleaned up? Used to level concrete? Kept unholstered in the bottom of a toolbox? All of the above?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That gun appears to have a slide mounted decocking lever, and the trigger has been converted to double action use. Looks like the offspring from a 1911 and a S&W model 645 that had a wild weekend together. :confused:

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yep, obvious how fake it is in the better picture in that link.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I was wondering how long it would take...seeing the "decocker" on the slide, I have an airsoft like that. Looks "kool" though :)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Threading for Suppressor and finished cap before Cerakoting.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Sweet!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Never seen a 1911 with a decocker. Heard that Sprinfield did some testing once with a decocker on the CZ series which look very similar to the 1911. But this one really looks like a photoshop special.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Sweet can!! What gun is it for?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Its for a customers .223 that I'm building for him, the can is mine but he has the same one.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Super jealous of you guys that can run suppressors. Is that an AAC?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice, I need to pony up the $$ and get one, one of these days, a few buddies have them on their AR's and some on pistols, lots of fun to shoot :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I've recently been drooling over the FN FNX .45 Tac. Has anybody had any experience with that handgun?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yep AAC M4-2000

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

OK here goes my first attempt at a picture post here.

This is one of the first ones over here.
Dangit, the server didn't like that. Kicked it off. Try this a different way.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Use Photobucket and copy IMG to here.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yeah. I'm having a hard time signing up for photobucket. I run a lot of security software, something is getting in the way, java filter or popup blocker or ad stopper or something. Such a purty picture too. I'll try with a different computer.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

OK, this looks like it works. I'll figure out the rest of photobucket later.

I got this when they first were available. I'd been reading about them and I liked what I read. Thousands of rounds through it.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Glock 17.
Great gun to shoot.
I have a 21.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I just looked it up. That pistol is close to thirty years old now. Time sure flies.
People new nothing about them back then. Everyone wanted to shoot it. Luckily ammo was cheap at the time. Now I barely practice that much so I can keep my stockpile high. I would reload cheap stuff except you can't hardly find powder any more. I have thousands of every component but almost no powder.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Couple 80% lowers I had to finish on the Mill then Cerakote.

:dr :dr

How many kidneys for one of those?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Man, I'm jealous of those.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have problems finding primers.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Gonna show the millwork? I'm kinda curious. I've been thinking about getting one or a few. How easy is it to do a good job routing these out?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Midwayusa shows stock in small rifle primers. I recently got some from there.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

So, two months or so back, after ten plus years of looking I found a used Beretta 92G in very good shape. (Spring loaded decocking lever that doesn't act as a manual safety, other than that is just like a 92F/FS. The G Model is a better mousetrap in my opinion.)

Yesterday I manage to score a second one, from the same (non FFL) vendor at a gun show. Asked him if he'd stumbled into a stash of the things. His reply was that he half expected I'd put that first one back onto the market and he'd run across it again, until he looked at his records.

Weird.
