Another Shooting at Gun For Hire
bullet hole had a suicide just s few years ago.... I don't have a link but I remember it happening, gun for hire was still across the street from them at the time.
- Beretta CX4 still for sale? Other ideas?

Gunbroker.com worth it??
It's eBay for guns. Read the listings and be careful. Payment can be CC right through GB or snail mail, or direct to the ffl. Some ffls are register with GB, u pick them from the ship menu and it's on the way to them. Sometimes your ffl isnt listed and they ask for a direct email from them with the ffl license. Call your ffl and they will take care of it. Go to your ffl pay transfer fee, NICs and ur done. Not much to worry about when buying from ffls, but private sales it's just like eBay so be careful.

lol, so no more rentals? U guys are funny. And yes, the bullet hole has suicides so there goes your theory.

The threat level has nothing to do with weight or material. It's a standard for the tested bullets and velocity the level can stop.

Wear and moisture will destroy armor over time, even sunlight. New soft armor even seems to come in sealed liners.

For a little over 300 you can get their lvl 3+ plates which are pretty impressive and will never crack or make you worry about the integrity.

These are steel and composite materials. The only question is how long the plexico liner lasts. Even lol 4 plates are ceramic and have an infinite shelf life if never used

Do you get bothered by scratches in your guns/finishes?
That's like comparing Elmer's glue with jb weld. lol

I'm curious on the shelf life issue... I did see the 5 year warranty but that's not the shelf life..

AR pics, lets see'um!
I concur. since you should be media blasting the part, that takes off some of the etching. After a light coat of cerakote, the etchings are still present, although hard to see. Even the rail numbers are still there. If you layer coats 2 coats on the outside it should cover everything, just dont don't layer the pin holes or threads or inside the parts....

Now that I can cerakote in my garage I don't care... gives me a reason to paint it.

Correct, Its the original 10" lite rail. I have a 9" and a 12" Lite III rail going on new builds once I get the time to paint them. I couldn't decide between an M-lok or keymod rail so i went with what has always worked well, plus if DD ever releases their slim rail with m-lok i might swap that on.... DD's barrel nut works with a ton of their rails. Great solid rails, they're expensive but worth the money IMO.

Finally did it.

If your thinking about getting the plates and can wait go for the lvl3+ I even opted for their lightweight version. I have a few months to find a nice carrier.

It's well known that speed is a bigger factor with steel plates. Even the level III+ plates barely stop an .223 at 3100fps

I ordered there level III+ plates with a 17week lead time.

Wolf Gold 223 55 FMJ - Under $300 Delivered - Take your pick!
Hopefully less people will be sending them crap now that you only get store credit. I bet reloaders would send them brass on their last leg for cash.

I love wolf gold. Comparable in ballistics to xm193.

Critical Defense Tested in Ballistic Gel
Seems inconsistent that an unobstructed .45 would have less penetration then one that passed through "heavy clothing"

help with barrel choice
Coyote tan was more for desert. FDE is supposed to be an dark tan/light brown.
