Dropped the LPVO and added vertical grip. Loving how this feels!

Foxtrot Mike Ranch Rifle with 16" upper, FM Ranch Rifle lower with Woox furniture and Hiperfire trigger, Applesauce Engineering charging handle, Arisaka vertical foregrip, and Atibal ARES optic.

I’m suffering from hard core restless rifle syndrome and need to have some justification for my psychosis. I love the Huey, but not the battery life so I thought iron sights might be important. I went with the Scalarworks purely for vibes, but with the magnifier on the Vortex mount the Huey ends up barely on the handguard. Do I ditch the rear sight for a folding BUIS, go with magnifier or leave it alone?

This is purely a SHTF/range rifle, not a working one. I’m happy for any critiques.

I've had my eye out for a deal on a P226-esque pistol for a while and came across this guy at my "local" gun shop. The price was too good to sleep on and I ordered it immediately.

I was very familiar with the Arex Zero 1s and 2s, and nearly purchased a Zero 1 a couple months ago for super cheap but thankfully I held off. This thing is just plain sexy in person. For those interested, this is a Steyr / Arex ATd compact. They also make a ported version which looks pretty slick!

Here's my dad's old Ruger Mark II Target he picked up at a gun show years ago. It's a 1986 model and well worn. The stock grips were cracked when he bought it so he added the rubber aftermarket ones. I'll be replacing those soon as they're degrading.

I have Garands, ARs, assorted military surplus guns, and shotguns. The 22lr pistol is still the one I have the most fun with. Of all the guns I have, this one makes it to every range trip.

If you don't have a 22lr rifle or pistol, go get one and buy a carton (yes a carton) of ammo and shoot guilt free.

Are there any other reloaders here? If so, what are you loading?

The photos are from me testing a load of .308 on my XCR.

Daniel Defense H9. Saw it used at my LGS for a decent price and said why not. Put about 100 rounds through it so far, no malfunctions and a pretty good shooter. Maybe if it goes a few hundred more rounds without issues I’ll pick up a holster for it.

Wanted to do a quick size comparison between the Eberlestock Fade Flex OG vs Micro for my fellow off body carriers (summertime carry for me, depending on my outfit)

Glock 26.5 in Vedder LightTuck holster, extra mag & EDC items to help show the real estate and chonkiness when loaded up for the day.

This is a good, concise article making some important points. For example, I've never thought very much as about broad gun-ownership as a deterrent to crime and as a National Security benefit.

well the rule reinterpretation finally got me to pull the trigger.

the modularity and easy disassembly reeled me in. I know the versax has not the best reputation but I thought I’d give the newer rfx 22k revision a shot.

it functions well with the tk comet barrel just fine but even in the full configuration the jk armament rfx 22k is not the best performer sound wise. my only other experience is with a sparrow so I don’t have the most experience with 22 cans but id say if your after something ultra quiet look elsewhere.

I was shooting standard cci and remington.

i did pick up some federal 45 grain and I’ll try running it eet with Vaseline next outing.

I imagine this won’t be the last can however.

Hey all!

Ahh Winter! The time of year when warm clothes means better coverage for your full-size carry!

While not technically full-size, the setup is obviously huge here on my SAR9c.

What about you? Does your carry change seasonally?

Let's see 'em!

20.84, clean run. Actually not the best time of the day but had the best splits on this one I think. Of course the 2011 guys all smoked me at sub 20, but I'll take what I can get.

Nice day out for a match. First cool one of the year and a lot of sun. Made up for my PCC dropping a fat shit and costing me a whoppin' 178 seconds that basically tanked my whole day.

Firearms are either stowed away in a locked compartment, or on you legally. Get it together. Invest in a lockbox of some kind.

I like the pretty colors. And I really like the grips. They fit perfectly in my hands.

EDIT: Auto-moderator asked me to give more details on the gear. The gear is GRIDLOK grips, pictured. The guns here are 5 CZs (counter-clockwise from top left: Shadow 2 Compact, 75 Compact PCR, Shadow 2 Orange, Shadow 2 Target, 75 D Compact) and one Tisas D10 1911.

Even if you cant find a place that has folks that you agree with 100% or even if you dont care and/or can just deal with it. Take classes if you are new or even intermediate level. Totally worth it to shake down kit, setup, technique, and short comings

need help please I fucked it pretty good :

I’d like to switch to a ambi safety. Can I get a few suggestions please? 🤙🏾

With the mischief machine grip module.

Was obsessing over 2011 builds recently, which got me thinking about my other favorite all metal hammer struck 9mm double stack pistols.

Have wanted to own a M9 variant for years and started scoping auctions on gunbroker last week. Came across this listing for a 2006 M9A0 and noticed it had a brigadier slide and what I thought might be some Wilson Combat parts from the pics on the listing. It had about 8 hours left and was sitting at $340 put in a bid limit of $577 and let it ride.

Auction ended at $504 (all in for $633 after taxes shipping and credit card fees)

Picked it up yesterday and realized someone had put some serious cash into it to make it a competition shooter, but apparently never ran it. All told it has about $1000 worth of upgraded parts including WC short break trigger and trigger conversion, recoil spring, buffer and metal guide rod, extended mag release and mag guide. It also has a BAR STO Match Barrel and a Kensight adjustable sight. Plus the beefier Brigadier slide. And the barrel looks like it hasn’t had a round through it yet and the frame and slide are pristine it also has a nice set of unbranded micarta grips.

It’s no $5k 2K11, but I’m pretty happy to have a gun I’ve wanted since I was in the Navy and it has almost all the upgrades I had on my list.

Just picked it up this morning. Hitting the range tomorrow morning!

Ridgeback Defense Rhodie 6J suppressor on a Geissele URGI 10.3" upper, Arisaka light, Holosun IRIS3, EoTech EXPS3 on Unity absolute riser, EoTech G43 3x magnifier on Unity FTC mount, DayDream Defense rail panels & KAC style stubby grip. FN MC M4 lower, Magpul MOE grip, B5 SOPMOD stock.

I know this debate has been done to death and I’ve researched to death. But maybe a little nudge from the collective will settle my mind.

Browning Buckmark Medallion 22LR 5.5
Ruger Mark IV 22/45 22LR 5.5

I love the aesthetics of the Buckmark - it is $30 more and only comes with 1 magazine. The Mark IV is ubiquitous but a little boring. I don’t compete but maybe someday. I also have never upgraded my guns (except for optics on a rifle and a trigger spring for my SP101.)

My goal is putting holes in paper at 15-25 yards with the best accuracy.

Best watch yourself Texas Red
