Are any MidWayUSA codes currently available?
Placing an order that's 100+. Would be nice to save $10 on shipping that they typically offer. The code below is already expired... Is there one for October?

Strobe features on tac lights...
Jermz, thats exactly the one I'm looking to get as well. How do you like it? I get the whole disorient someone bit w/ the strobe, but wouldn't you (the one holding the gun) also be subject to the same effects?

Strobe features on tac lights...
I was back in the market looking for a tac light (still have my trusty Surefire X200) and noticed many come w/ a strobe feature now. As club dancing and partying aren't typically uses for a tac light, I was curious what the intended use of this was? Why would I want to create a strobe light effect while engaging a potential attacker?

Boardwalk Empire
A friend of mine works for HBO marketing and actually got me and my wife into the premiere of the show in Atlantic City. The screening was this past Thursday and the after-party events were awesome. Saw some of the talent (unfortunately, Buscemi was not there) but it was great times. Show was awesome. I can't wait for the rest of the season. Another anachronism that I caught... "Lucky" Luciano wasn't referred to as Lucky until after an attempt at his life around the end of the 20's, early 30's, so technically, they shouldnt be referring to him as that in the show.. Also, I think he was already in his 30's in 1920... but he's portrayed as being younger.

EDC Knives
Here's another question.. Has anyone ever gotten in trouble or have had their EDC confiscated? If so, what type of knife was it? I'm still trying to wrap my head around what exactly is "legal" to carry and what isn't...
-
Another is this legal question
"an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip;" What exactly does this mean? A magazine that extends beyond the length of the grip (ie. a high-cap mag?) Or a magazine that is attached in another location that is not the pistol grip? Like a tech-9 type design?

Help installing Magpul MOE Stock on 15-22
I had an MOE installed on my 15-22 by a gunsmith. Any smith should be able to do it.. I got mine done at NJ Firearms Guild. I think he charged about $60? Good luck!

Springfield Armory Operator & TRP models
Can anyone speak to their experience with either of these pistols? I'm thinking about possibly buying my first 1911 type pistol and these two seem to fit what I'd want. Any other suggestions?

Would competition or "race" guns make for good SD guns?
Can you elaborate? Curious to hear why..

Would competition or "race" guns make for good SD guns?
I've been watching shooting competitions on YouTube and some of these guys are amazing with their shooting and reload speed, which is why it made me think of this question.. If you're good with your race gun setup (eg. STI or SV Infinity 1911/2011 style guns), would there be any reason NOT to use this as your home defense or carry gun? True, they're usually bigger and bulkier, but if you can accurately take down multiple baddies and reload in less than 2 seconds.. Thoughts? The SV Infinity guns are beautiful... I'd want to get one just to admire it.. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Which gun would you prefer? Beretta 92fs or Glock 17
All you need to do is pull the slide back about 1/4" to reset the striker True, but its a PITA. Especially w/ a snap cap. Maybe the recoil spring still hasn't loosened up enough on mine, but it takes a bit of finesse to pull the slide back just enough to reset the trigger yet not so hard that it'll eject the snap cap.

Which gun would you prefer? Beretta 92fs or Glock 17
I love my Beretta... Its a Brigadier 92FS INOX. Shoots phenomenally. Probably one of the most accurate handguns I've ever shot. But I also love my G19C... So what does that mean for you? GET BOTH!!!!1!11!!11 :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Personally though, if I had to choose, I'd say get the 92FS first. I think its more n00b friendly. Plus there's most stuff on it to play with when you just wanna dry fire it around the house (single/double action, safety/decocker, etc etc) You cant really dry fire the Glock too easily since its SAO..

Most recent acquisition...
Bought this from a fellow forum member. Thank you sir... she's found a good, new home. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I took the liberty of giving the barrel a nice polish. Hope to shoot her soon! And without further ado, here she is...... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ha! You talk like it didn't really happen or something.

Ray Ray's Zombie Apocolypse thread
Ok. Kinda off topic and this may have already been discussed in this uber extensive thread (which, I'm sure will be of great record after the Zombie Invasion hits), but I started reading a book called World War Z. Same author as the Zombie Survival Guide. Its quite good so far..

Let see those Rimfires. =P
Hi Matt.. The awesome picture I posted must've distracted you from what I wrote in my post.. Send me a PM if you want to know where I got it done.

Let see those Rimfires. =P
Hey Scrap, our 15-22's look pretty similar! haha! :mrgreen: I have a Magpul MOE stock on mine. LOVE it. Had it installed and pinned by a smith. Here's a quick pic -

Remington Factory barrel with rifle sights / shotgun sights
I have two Mossbergs. A 590 and a 590A1, one with bead and the other with the ghost rings. Personally, I prefer the ghost rings, but I shoot just as well w/ the bead. The benefit of the bead sight is you don't have to ever worry about windage and elevation adjustments... just point and shoot..!

Chicago's list of "unsafe guns" posted
What I want to know is, what kind of bass-ackwards logic did they use to come up with this list?? Pay special attention to the Sig Mosquito and Walther P22 being singled out as "unsafe." HUH?? What makes them any less safe than other firearms, or more specifically, other 22LR handguns like the Ruger??? :?: :?: :?: Here - https://portal.chicagopolice.org/portal ... -final.pdf

Thoughts on a safe..
The Sentry safe I posted above from Wal-Mart just went up about $50! Maybe they're catching on that it was being sold for too little?

Thoughts on a safe..
If anyone's looking for a smaller/midsize safe (10-14 long guns), Wal-Mart online has some good prices on the Sentry safes + 97 cent shipping! Im not sure if its a sale or a mistake, but I see most other places selling these safes for about $150 more BEFORE shipping. Here's the 10 gun version (Electronic Lock) http://www.walmart.com/ip/SentrySafe-10 ... k/11064230 For some reason, the same one without the E-Lock is MORE expensive! :?: :?: Here's the 14 gun version (Non E-Lock) http://www.walmart.com/ip/SentrySafe-14 ... k/11064231 Like I said, I'm not sure if this is typical Wal-Mart pricing but the practically free shipping is a no-brainer if you're looking for one of this size. They're not fire-resistant though, so keep that in mind.

My new acquisition - name it
