Holy crap - Ruger makes an AR
That's true, everything is sub contracted out. Who's next to jump on the AR bandwagon? Beretta?

Ruger SR9
I shot my friends two-tone version and that sold me. I was either going to get the SR9 or MP9. Being as I already shot and liked the SR9, it was an easy choice. I never shot the XD 9 but I own the 45 tactical and love it. I wanted a slimmer profile and the MP 9 and XD 9 are a bit chunky.

That's understandable, but being as that they have to make it "Jersey compliant" and that might take a while, they'll work out the kinks long before we'll be able to purchase one.

My First AR-15
It wasn't only the build up of the lacker, it was the failed ejection of 2 cases and a few other rounds didn't shot after I pulled the trigger. I had to use a cleaning rod and shove out the shell casings to clear the chamber. Plus those misfires were a little scary in that I wasn't familar with the rifle yet and was worried about the round blowing up in the gun or something. I do shot wolf steel cased ammo in 9mm and 45acp and have had not a single problem. But the 223 stuff should be avoided even though they are way cheaper than brass stuff. You get what you pay for with these bullets.

I have had problems with mine but only when shooting Wolf steel case ammo. Any other ammo she eats it up. Just a little FYI for you.

I'm hearing some bad things on this thread about Ruger. Ruger makes a quality product and stand by them even if they made a mistake. American made quality, with affordable prices. Me and my father own many and are extremely happy with the quality, workmanship, and affordability of all there products. +1 For Ruger.

My next AR-15
Use grandchildren next! Yes, I have to buy it now to preserve it for future generations given our political climate. You Sir are brilliant. That's the same excuse I use!

Hi point carbines?
I thought about getting one of these but decided on saving up a little more money (500 dollars more!) and go with the Beretta Cx4 instead. Many 9mm rounds and lots of cool tactical upgrades later I haven't looked back. Go with quality and skip this crap.

Taurus 1911 in 9mm
You know, I thought the same thing but then I remembered in my nightstand sits a Taurus M85 in .38 special.

Ruger SR9
cool but can they make 10rd into 15rd.........Should be the same deal. unless we buy the 17rd mag out of state to convert. You can't due to the giant piece of solid plastic on the bottem of the magazine. It maxes out the space so you can only fit the 10 rounds and the spring.

anyone use a shotgun for home defense?
Looking at that questions again a little closer.... technically I OWN a shotgun for home defense. I don't USE one for defense. We don't have Morlocks in my neighborhood that I and constantly defending my home ;-) I would love to live in a neighborhood with no Morlocks. My block is full of those bastards. It seems everynight I'm dropping 2 or 3 of them in my backyard. :x PoorSoulInJersey, everyone else understood the question. If you want to be technical, I OWN many firearms and the question asks "use a shotgun for home defense". Now, I didn't ask if anyone would "use a Mauser 98K for home defense", because I own one of those and wouldn't think to use it as a primary home defense tool. I also own a Henry 22lr and I wouldn't use that either for home defense as a 22 lever action isn't a good first choice. So, to reiterate your point, I OWN firearms and don't USE all of them for home defense. Thank you.

Who's shooting a .17HMR?
For that price I'll stick with 22lr.

my first black rifle
Thanks RichieDubs, I stll like the EOtech model (not sure which one but it retails for 400 dollars or so) but I'm broke as a joke.

Very true, but you can't drain something that is already empty

my first black rifle
It's normal. Just rub it down with some oil or even WD40 will work. Have you tried to use the iron sights on top of the scope? That might be the deal breaker. Bushnell makes quality scopes but I don't know about their red-dots.

My First AR-15
Nice, got the same one only a lefty version without the carry handle. Mine came with 1 10 round "C" products magazine.

you can dream can't you
Second that, 30 round mags and make pistol grip, folding stock AK's legal. I want one real bad.

Chad, for that price I wouldn't be shooting them too much either. I've seen people get shot with them and it's pretty painful.

Ruger SR9
Not to hijack the thread, but what is your opinion (fit & firing) of the Beretta PX4? When I was choosing handguns it was between the PX4 and the Walther P99. I went with the P99 because it felt better in my hand but the PX4 is, also, extremely comfortable. I really like the Px4. I put a Hogue hand-all grip over mine because I like finger grooves on pistols. The grip frame is a little smaller on the SR9 compared to the Px4. They don't make 15 rounder's for the SR9, I've been looking. But Beretta makes 10, 15, 17, 20 and a +2 extender for the Px4 if your going out of state. Not to boast but I also own an XD 45 tactical and love it. If I had a little extra money I'd be getting an XD 9 SC. XD's are also great pistols.

I was looking at that same Bushnell scope for my AR. Does yours have the deer in the crosshairs symbol on the other side? I kinda don't want being that I'm not going to hunt with it. Also, that scope has the back-up irons on top, can you co-witness with the iron sights you already have? BTW, nice set up.
