Anyone here into firearms?

Red__Zed · 03-19-2013, 08:21 PM

buying a full-size pistol, debating .45 vs 9mm and trying to figure out what I want.

Shot a G21, liked it, would prefer longer sight radius

Shot an XDm 45, would prefer better trigger and price more inline with the glocks

Shot a G34, liked it a lot, wish it shot big bullets.

ugh.

I picked up my XDm .45 (black, 4.5") for $539 shipped, FWIW...the deals are out there.

What's up gents! Wanted to share my latest purchases. Still have my RRA LAR-15 Operator Elite on order. However when I was home in January I picked up an Ambush Firearms (by Daniel Defense) 5.56. Still pretty basic; added flashlight and forward grip. I only had time to put 100rds through it before returning to Iraq. I think I'll sell it when my RRA arrives. Basically wanted it in case of the ban coming through but think we're good there now.

And my most current additions are for my Benelli M4...

ATI's Raven M4 Stock

Ordering today; Stock, Forend, Heat shield and, Mag Tube Picatinny Rail Shroud.

Also picked up CarrierComp's "DG" PARKERIZED Tone Titanium (7rd) mag tube and SideArmor's Quick Detach Standard Short Rail with 6rd Shell Holder.

Might add an EoTech as well.

Nice! I wish mine never got jacked.

I haven't been on this forum since I ticked off some people by criticizing the new pathfinder. This should be a better thread for me. Anyway. I've had an Armalite AR10 for a while. I lilked owning it but not shooting it. Too long and it hurts my shoulder to shoot (I've had two elbow and one shoulder surgery and pieces are gone). So I sold it last February to one of my brothers and ordered a Springfield M1A Scout Squad...last February. By November the AR was long gone and no M1A in sight. My FFL calls and asks if I'd be interested in a
SIG 716. I had already paid $1600 for the Springfield and told him no way I could afford a SIG and what was a 716 anyway? He tells me the SIG is $50 bucks more than the SIG and tells me to go on line and look at the 716. I placed my order right away and it took 2 days to get. I absolutely love it. Now things are so bad, it would be hard to find either of these rifles. It is crazy out there.

The new Pathfinder is massively lame. It is crazy out there. On Rainier Arms site I put my email address in for a notifier when a Noveske Chainsaw lower was available. I recieved the email at 3PM and when I went to order it at 3:15 they were all gone

Fortunately I received my 5 PMAGs from Magpul the other day

How stupid and illogical does one have to be to think that limiting the capacity of magazines will save one single life? Governer Hickenlooper of Colorado is a grade A hypocrite and moron...

Inspector71 · 03-25-2013, 07:55 AM

Thanks. I got blasted big time for critiquing the Pathfinder. All three major car mags trashed it and one called it a Mall-finder. Mags are so hard to come by. Friends tell me Magpul is moving from Colorado. The only way to get the attention of politicians is to punish them financially it seems.

UNKNOWN_370 · 03-22-2013, 09:50 AM

We're in the clear with the rifles. I figured, rifle-wise, we'd be ok. Now comes the mag issue. That one has me a little more worried. Mag cap limits??? Thats why i been buying wholesale mags when they allow for normal pricing. I'm on every waiting list there is for 7.62x39, 6.8 and 5.56 mags. I also need beretta92fs CZ-75 and parausa hi cap mags. It's a bytch because pistol mags are harder to find and more expensive than rifle mags.
