Have you given the Talon Grips a try? Cheap, reversible, and thin. I really like the rubber version when I had my XD

Good stuff to know, thanks!

Mike, why not try 300blk? All you need is a different barrel. Everything else is the same between 5.56 and 300blk

Hmmmmm that round has never really crossed my mind.

The 300blk was designed around shorter barrels and suppressor use, from what I understand. Not much use/fun for us in Cali. That is why I sold mine I couldn't take full advantage of the round, just my opinion. The only reason I bought one was that the rounds at the time were fairly inexpensive, I think I found them at Midway for under $10 a box. Also I didn't have to buy more magazines just to hold a different round.

Don't get me wrong from what I have seen the round is a good all purpose round for not a lot of money ( I haven't checked prices for 300blk in a while). It just wasn't for me.

It's a great hunting round as well, for places that won't allow .223 to hunt

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.

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

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.

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?

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.
