Gotta love a hand-cannon!!!

I needed to get a pocket carry, went with the .380 body guard.

Nice choice, you should show off the pocket holster you made too

Bought a Smith and Wesson M&P (AR) 15-22 rifle yesterday. Noticed before purchase that the "collapsible" stock is fixed, a small roll pin driven in from one side. No doubt something th factory does to make the gun compliant for sale in certain states.

My question is, can I just yank out that pin and the stock then expands/retracts as normal, or not? Actually I'm not certain about doing that: As "fixed" stock the gun will be a bit stiffer front to back and may shoot better groups.

What do you folks think?

emopunker2004 · 06-20-2014, 07:16 AM

Picked up a Glock 22 and put my TLR-1S on it. Went out to the range yesterday and qualed with it and had work sign off on the light. Glad I got to replace my thumb snap holster with the Safariland ALS/SLS holster finally. I installed the glock 8lb (+) connector, extended slide stop, and extended mag release as well.

Here she is without the light in a kydex OWB holster I had made by a maker on arfcom. I can conceal it reasonably well like this with a dark tshirt and the gun positioned at about 230

emopunker2004 · 06-25-2014, 10:13 PM

And here she is now. I added Ameriglo Idot Pro night sights and a Grip Force adapter.

Just lately the Rural King stores here in SW Ohio started selling firearms in addition to ammo and such. Can't believe how decent some of the deals can be.

Yesterday I couldn't pass up one of those 5" barrel Citadel/Armscor 1911s in 9mm for about $360 out the door. Had a Colt 1991 5 incher years ago and only gave it up because I'd stopped shooting speed steel matches.

Was quickly reminded how enjoyable a good single action trigger is when coupled with a gun that has much less recoil than the same model in .45 acp. Some of my splits (time between shots) were downright speedy!

Opinions?

dijit · 07-05-2014, 07:09 PM

Muzzle loaders can be a lot of fun and if you hunt with them you tend to focus a little more knowing a second shot is 60 seconds away if your quick.

On a different note my AR upper is almost complete. My lower will be here on Tues. Cant wait to complete the build.

Steve · 07-05-2014, 07:42 PM

Exactly, and congrats on the lower!

emopunker2004 · 07-05-2014, 10:54 PM

Well guys, I shot my first IDPA match today. Shot it using my duty belt and gear. Only had the time to shoot 3 out of the 6 stages due to having to sleep before I headed to work. I'm addicted. Couple quick Snapshots from today that I took, the guy in the dark green shirt in the 1st pic is Massad Ayoob for those who may know of him.

Nice Justin!

dijit · 07-06-2014, 08:23 AM

I have been to two training events featuring Masaad Ayoob and he is a great wealth of practical knowledge on tactical shooting. I learn something new every time I meet him.

:Tu

He lives not too far from here in live oak. As i understand it, he frequently comes out to shoot idpa here.

357 · 07-09-2014, 01:02 PM

Thanks for the pics Justin. I'm a big fan of Massad Ayoob. Never been to one of his training classes but I've read many of his articles. I've always wanted to shoot IDPA but never got around to it. I need to bump that up my priority list.
