Re: First Firearm Thread.
Anyone deal with Glockstore.com?
After renting some guns and reading lots, I think I want a Glock 23 Gen 4 but no one seems to have it in stock online. Bud's is clean out.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
How are the trigger guard laser systems? I haven't had the opportunity to use one yet. I am not much of an advocate for the tactical nonsense on weapons. I understand they have their place but the average Joe has no need for anything beyond irons, if they depend on the red dot to hit their target they should probably lock that weapon up until they can hit the range.

I sold (2) of .45s and my .40. Still have a Taurus .45 I am trying to get rid of. I am streamlining to 9mm in everything except 1 carry gun (.380) and .357 that I do not have yet. All the 9mm have H-CD ammo and you are right. It is nasty. |

Actually a fairly plausible justification.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Plus its nice being able to take my trunk of firearms to the range and letting new shooters or people who are in the market for a firearm let a few rounds down range without having to drop a mint at the rentals. I have met some very cool people at the range and since my injury I have been kicking around the idea of becoming a firearms instructor so its good experience dealing with difference types of learners.

An Average Joe is actually the BEST candidate for having a "nonsense" tool like a laser, especially when these days, they take up so little real estate and have some very ergonomic options for switching. As to the last sentence, how about being in a very scary situation with a couple of bullets in you taking you out of action and a loved one helping defend you or your family? (That person not being as highly trained and skillful in the martial arts as yourself, of course.) While I think that general competency in firearms is an admirable thing for everyone, being able to tell a person who is not as much of a "Warrior" to "take a deep breath, put the red dot on his chest and press the trigger" may just save your life and theirs. I do not have any lasers on any of my firearms, but I would never pooh pooh anyone with one as an excuse to belittle their "Average Joe-ness." OPTIONS are good. |

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Waiting for this to land at my local FFL. I wanted something for some target shooting that wasn't going to break the bank, but still be accurate.
Marlin X7VH .308 26" heavy barrel Recessed target crown Fluted bolt Accu-trigger rip-off I also picked up I think 5 more guns from a family member but they have to spend the night at my parents house until I get a safe. I'll throw some pictures up when I get all of the goods here.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
Nice collections everyone.
I just added a Ruger LCP to my collection. Was wondering what kind of pocket holsters everyone here is using? So far i have a leather wallet style holster but have been eyeing the DeSantis Superfly.
