Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have said this many times! How many times you hear about an accidental shooting followed by "I thought the safety was on!"

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yup! :r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Two of my six guns have a safety.
One of them, I am glad as it is my wife's Sig P238 and to me, that is an example of of wanting a safety, given it should be carried with hammer cocked. I feel a whole lot better with her having that.
The other is my Shield and the only time I use it is at times whenever I remove it from the holster. There are times I make my wife practice with both weapons, drawing, removing mag, chambering, etc. and I feel a lot warmer and fuzzier with the safety on. In time, as she gets better versed, will see no need for it.
In the holster, with no one else around, no safety.
On the Sig, I find it functional. On the Shield, seldom use it and it is so small and insignificant, don't care if there.

I carry my 1911 cocked and locked, wouldn't have it any other way.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Some safeties are needed :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

If the gun is single action only then yes it needs a safety. Otherwise the July saftey needed is to keep your booger hook off the bang switch.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Not if you booger hook lefty and shoot righty. :r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

just got notice that my non-windowed pmags from DSG have shipped. (same order as the windowed ones from before)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yeh my d&h mags from them did too

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

+1

The kydex holster I use is molded around the safety lever, I CAN'T carry it any other way :)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

damnit....

I was all excited today. Got most of the parts needed for my custom AR upper in today. Enough to start building it at least.

11" Troy alpha rail
14.5" Daniel Defense barrel
YHM 5C2 Comp/hider to pin to the barrel and make it legal.
Low profile Wilson Combat adjustable gas block.
Some random stripped upper that Midway has in stock, etc.

No sign of a BCG yet (it's coming... eventually :rolleyes:), and I still havn't found an in stock barrel nut to buy, but that wasn't going to stop me from playing with the parts :)

so I picked up the barrel, screwed on the comp, and grabbed a tape measure to check the length to the chamber.

"hmm.... that can't be right... I'm a couple inches short..."
*measure barrel*
"twelve inches???"
*check invoice*
"14.5" M4 Carbine 1:7"
*check label on shipping tube*
"5.56, 1:7, 12.5" M4 Carbine"

Son of a ***** :bh

Got it from Brownells, so I know they'll fix it... but erm... you know, there's the slight issue of "WHEN" in this century they might get more stock in! :bh

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone looking at the new Glock 30s. A friend at SHOT sent me some pics today that look pretty nice.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I don't like the RTF's. To rough on my girly hands.

Re: First Firearm Thread.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have a friend selling a savage axis xp in .308 with scope sling and 50 rds of ammo. Rifle only has 15rds through it. $400 plus shipping

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Can't, I'll be out of the country long before the ATF could ever get around to approving it ;)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

A buddy of mine ordered a AR57 upper for his ar in 16.04" and they shipped him the 12" upper. Instead of returning it he now has an AR57 pistol.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
