Spikes Tactical has a sale going on now, I think they are about $100.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

FINALLY...I just won me a Ruger Single Six on GB. I've been wanting one for a while and I finally got one. The cool part is that I got a great deal on it and that it was manufactured in my birth year (1981) according to the serial #. What were the odds of that.

Can't wait for it to get here. :banger

Now it's time to find me a Ruger SP101 .357 with a 3 1/16" barrel.
Anyone have one of these?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice pickup on the Single Six :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Not if the round count moves down to 5+1 for 9mm and 4+1 for .40 lol

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

It started out as a mac-11 and then was converted to use sten mags and has the complete max11 set-up added.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nice rifles! :gn

Here is one of the funniest things I have ever read on AR15 dot com.

Be warned, there is some profanity there if that offends you

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

How do you like the 6.8 over a regular 5.56? I want to build a new AR in the future and have been debating on whether to go with a .308 or a 5.56 platform. The 6.8 sits on a 5.56 lower correct?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Very nice rifles.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Pretty big difference between the 5.56 and .308. The .308 will require an AR10 lower. The nice thing about the 5.56 lower is that it's less expensive and there are a lot more upper options. YMMV

I liked the 6.8 enough that I sold all of my 5.56 stuff. ;s

With the way prices went last year I wish I would have held onto everything...but the 6.8 is that fun to shoot.

My .308 is fun too!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ever come up to Detroit? I live just north Toledo and can arrange a range visit with my 8 usp s for you to shoot>:D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

A 9mm version of the LCP would be so sweet, do you have a source on that rumor? Seems like all they'd have to do is make the magazine a bit longer from trigger to backstrap, and test it for durability. I'd much rather buy a Ruger than a Kahr or Kel-Tec, which I've read mixed reviews on. That would be one I could really get excited about, that power to size & weight ratio would really be near the top of the list. :dr

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Man, I would love to shoot a USP. I've never shot a USP. I might get up to the D one of these months for one of the Ohio/MI HERF's

Thanks for the offer :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

If you're ever in Oregon Dan.. you can shoot mine to the barrel melts for all I care :)

Ammo's on me...

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Ill start walking ;)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Wow! The ammo is on you? I better start driving. I'll see you on Thursday :tu

Thanks for the offer :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Woot! Im still searching for ammo :-(

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

What ammo are you looking for? I might be able to find it in my list of favorite websites ;)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

.40 s&w, 9mm (Target loads), .380 (carry and Target loads), 38spc, 357MAG (carry load)

I like to diversify. :-D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

:r

Anyone who's ever gone shooting with me knows I'm pretty generous with ammo.

But hell.. if it got you to Oregon.. sure thing man. I'd even give you a place to stay.

Just not Thursday :r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Here is some .40 S&W for you. I love AIM Surplus: http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/40S_W.html

I can't find .380 target anywhere. Check the Equipment Exchange ads on AR15.com

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Awesome! Thanks Dan

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

If y'all are wanting something along the lines of an LCP but with more stopping power, have you looked at the LCR? It can shoot +P .38 cal.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yeah, but it's got to compete with the SP101 .357, 2 1/4 inch barrel DAO model in my book, which is heavier but handles the .357 round well. An LCP-9 would be sweet mostly due to its slimness from not having that wheelgun circumference. Dang now I'm thinking about that SP101 again :dr I need to stay off this thread!

Hay Now! I hide a Glock 19 and Ruger P95DC pretty well myself.

Not sure if thats good or bad....... :ss:ss

With close to 2000 rounds through it I have NEVER had any malfunctions, and im shooting crappy bulk walmart ammo.

P.S. I will be getting the XDSC in OD green next gun show.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Glad your '95DC performed better than my '94DC did. Constant feedjam problems. Not good thing for CCW. Bye Bye Ruger, hello S&W.

Ah.... And then Springfield introduced the XDM........ heaven. In my world, the '99 Monte A of handguns.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

So I've been wanting to sell the Benelli 12 gauge 3 1/2 Magnum Duck's Unlimited version shotgun I got last year. Never fired a shot through it. Took it to a local gunshop and they sell them new for $459. Guy offered me $200 for it. Told him it was a no go. Might have to list it on gunbroker or see if my local cop friends want it. :(

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I want an XDM, but I'm too small to be able to conceal one. :(

... That is, unless they make a subcompact XDM. God, I hope they do. It's so pretty, and I like the grip a lot better.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Not a fan of plastic guns but I have 2 friends with XDMs and have to say they are incredible shooters. Real tack drivers.

Lol then you must punish yourself carrying some solid steel behemoth then.

I'll stick with my Glock .45, I know it'll perform when the stuff hits the fan. :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I cannot wait until we get to mess around with the M4 for a few days. I hated the H & K P2000 at first because of the trigger, I was actually one of the worst shooters in my class as I was slamming the trigger. The instructors have slowly been working with me and today I shot a 345 out of 360 which is classified as Expert Shooter. We qualify for real next Friday, hopefully I can get 350 or so.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

After my Kel Tec P11 experience, I'll trust an aluminum airweight frame on a 642 Smith with my life thank you very much.

The Kel Tec was the biggest piece of junk to ever grace my hands, but there's plenty who will tell you if you dremel the feedramp or send it back to the factory, it will work just fine.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Please don't compare a Kel-tec to any other reliable gun manufacturer... the only cool thing they make is the AR pistol. I would never trust my life to a Kel-tec. With that said just because it was a "plastic" gun doesn't make all plastic guns bad.

I have over 4k rounds through my Glock. Never had any issues whatsoever. I haven't cleaned my Glock since the day I bought it, why should I it's a Glock! :r :r

Seriously I like all metal guns and I even carried a P239 for about a month, but the weight after 14 hours takes a toll on you. I have no doubts the airweights are a dream to carry but I don't shoot revolvers anymore after my accident. It's ignorant but I just don't feel comfortable with them. Not to mention for the same weight your carrying I have 15 rounds compared to your 6. ;) :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I take it you haven't seen the RFB then?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Actually I do punish myself with a really heavy Sig 229 at times. I also have an airweight wheeler for the pocket.

Not liking plastic guns is different then not buying them...:ss I'm thinking about a small, thin plastic gun for carry - maybe the new Taurus 709 Slim. Not sure yet, but want something light and thin and reliable (but not too small like the LCP which is way too small for my hands to accurately shoot). Any thoughts?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Keep an eye out for the MSAR Archangel when it comes out. A little bigger than an LCP but a LOT smaller than a PM9. 6+1 rounds of 9mm and rated for +P. What's not to like?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Is that the fold up rifle? If so then yes... I think the idea is great but I think that Magpul's design with the Glock is much better and just a better product.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nope. It's the bullpup .308.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

That's pretty kickass!! Don't know if I would spend $1500+ on it.... Especially when my DPMS SASS was only around $1600.

Pics for those who are wondering what a DPMS SASS is...

Kinda resembles a Seacamp, which I wouldn't mind having.
