i was there for a while, trigger finger was gettin tired. if you came earlier you woulda seen me christen my BCM build by zeroing the iron sights.

..and it was (barney stinson) AWESOOOOOME. The recoil was so much lighter on recoil too. Why didn't I get into this sooner? The startup cost is not too bad, but man I felt like such a vulture picking all the brass in my caliber that I saw. Can't wait till I start my next batch! Just wanted to share the joy.

i have like 10 of those plastic ammo containers...4 30cal tins and 4 50cal tins... they're great

The recoil is about the same. I havent shot them back to back but I feel like the recoil is ever so slightly less in the gen4. What I love about it is the reduced grip which fits my hand perfectly. My gen3 19 fits my hand too, but the gen4 just fits better for me. I my 19 is my first handgun and I am used to the feel of it but now i have the power of a 40 with the same feel(overall feel, not recoil) as my 19 so I am in love.

ok... only 2011 allowed... Custom BCM: BCM upper blem BCM lower 14.5" daniel defense mid length barrel battle comp 1.5 BCM BCG Magpul MOE stock Magpul basic grip Daniel Defense 12" lite rail Troy iron sights M&P 9 full size Glock 23 gen4 that may be it for now... gotta look for another job before the spending commences

picked my glock 23 gen 4 from lawman this week too! $443 out the door (LE discount). I normally do not like 40's but i absolutely love this thing. I may even say my favorite glock (i shant speak too loudly or my glock 19 might hear...)

kudos to the police who are fighting her on this.

hey frank, lately ive been shopping midway like mad too!!! mostly for reloading supplies. it seems just when im done with an order i think of something else that would be nice to have! as for the wilde chambers i don't have much experience with them. all my ar's are 556 and in terms of accuracy i shoot mostly close range to 50 yards. furthest i have shot was 100 yards and the accuracy was good enough for me (i wasnt going for bullseye at the time, just center of mass shots)

I agree there is a sense of redneck in Sons of Gun. I don't think its as bad as you say. They do take time to explain things to people like terminology that people may not be aware of. I remember one episode where a guy wanted to buy a silenced shotgun(or rifle, i forget) and they explained it is an NFA item and needs to do paperwork that requires a 4 month wait. At least that shows people aren't just picking this stuff up like candy. On the flip side though, I do see how a show like this would be fuel for anti-gun but only for those who have anti-gun tendencies anyway. For pro-gun and moderates, it probably wont exacerbate any feelings that aren't already there on the issue of guns. I guess it all depends on which prism you watch the show in. I will concur though that the shots of them going out into the open field and blowing stuff up may not be the best way to win the hearts and minds of the general public.

How about for rifle rounds? As i understand it the first die resizes and decaps, the second adds powder third one seats bullet fourth one crimps does that mean that reloading 223 is a 4 die process?

So here are the basics that I have down. (this is for handgun ammo like 9mm/40s&w) The case needs to be resized: this step i got down and am clear on The case needs a powder charge: This step is also clear The case needs to be widened at the tip to accept a bullet: This is where I'm confused. I thought that was what chamfering did? The case is seated with a bullet: this part i'm good with. Another question: when in this process are you supposed to trim the case? before or after resize? Also, how often do you check the case lengths, or do you inspect every single case every time? I also see some dies come with a crimp die, I thought handgun ammo doesnt necessarily need a crimp.

it has to go to a judge regardless

So I'm planning on selling a rifle to an NY resident and I have confirmed that it is legal to own there. My question is do I have to have my ffl send to their ffl or can I just ship it directly to their ffl?

judge makes the final disapproval

I used him to pin my muzzle brake and the pin job was good, however... I noticed lots of scratch marks on my gas block that weren't there when I handed it over. I'm talking major scratch marks from what I can only guess was the result of putting the free float hand guard on (which was not necessary as I assembled everything already and only needed the brake pinned). Definitely not happy about that.

this makes me wanna just go out and buy a gun in protest...

Thanks again for hosting the shoot. I had a great time. It was definitely a humbling experience and guess i'll be by more often to practice for next month. For the people who introduced themselves as from the forum it was great meeting you!

Here is my two cents and note this is only my opinion and the reasons why I personally chose what I chose. Having shot and owned all three here are my thoughts: The Glock is a great pistol with proven track record of reliability. The simplicity in design makes it very easy to clean, maintain, and troubleshoot if the need ever arises. After market parts are also aplenty which is a plus and all it takes is knock out 3 pins and you are completely stripped down to the bare guts of the pistol. The bore axis is pretty low compared to say an XD but I think the M&P may edge out the Glock in this respect. For me the grip angle fits me perfectly. From an engineering stand point, even though there may be others that beat the Glock in a certain category, overall I have yet to find another gun that beats the Glock in terms of the overall package of features I look for in a pistol, such as size,width,weight,reliability, etc. The XD is also a solid design. Good and reliable enough to have a cult-like following just like Glock. Has some very nice features such as a striker indicator and chamber indicator. Both very nice features to have. The bore axis is a slight minus for me personally, as it gives the gun slightly more flip by comparison to a gun with lower bore axis. Others may be able to deal with this but I'll take every advantage I can get. Grip angle is similar to a 1911 so people who are used to that would definitely be happy. Comes with a grip safety which personally I dont see as a plus or minus. Its nice to have but not really necessary IMO and I wouldn't use it as a reason for or against a particular model. The M&P seems to be an up and comer. I just love this pistol. From my experience it is also a workhorse. The design is also very simple and theres are some nice after market parts for it like sears. The interchangeable backs traps is neat and I love the option (to be fair Glock now has that option too though some argue the implementation is somewhat lacking). First time out with this gun I put 5 rounds through the same hole. Ever since then I knew the gun could dish it out as long as I do my part (as with every gun I own, lol). Overall it is up to what you look for in a gun. Given my demands of size,weight,muzzle flip, etc. If I only were allowed to own one, I'd choose Glock. Luckily I can own them all... lol

i got a feeling yo're going to be the one to "school" me today... lol

Looking forward to seeing you guys there, look for the asian guy in the magpul hat. bring your A-game >=)

Hornady Critical Defense my friends. Not classified as hollowpoints and works just as well if not better. You're welcome =)

if they made a droid case id be all over it

Although I agree he is indeed very lucky, why shouldn't he sue? NJ: Oh I know we didn't have a right to deprive you of your rights but hey, your off the hook now, you're actually very lucky you know? We could have done worse. My friend brought up a really good point. We are all/most of the same mindset as to the intent of the 2nd amendment. That the government is suppose to be for the People by the People. However after reading this latest story, my friend ask a good question. What is the point of us having these guns, if we are constantly willing to have our rights deprived? He was in the air force and did a tour or two in Iraq, so fighting for your rights hits hard with him I guess. But it seems we keep getting crapped on more and more and short of them coming to take our guns, we do nothing. My question is, what can we do?

From the looks of it, it seems wisconsin is going to join them very shortly. Its sad how a state is going to go from no issue to shall issue while NJ just continues to rot here.

I know for a fact Shore Shot in lakewood has them. In fact my LWRC was purchased there. They already have the PWS fsc556 brake on it, can't go wrong.
