What optics do you run on your HD shotgun?
Across a room, 00 buck doesn't spread very much. I think its a good idea to aim.

The "AR situation"
I have noticed a lot of people have made them dedicated .22 guns. I'm sure that will last a while. Biggest issue I've heard with them is the lpk's don't fit in nicely all the time.

The "AR situation"
I was skeptical of poly lowers prior to the madness but since then A LOT of people have purchased them and I haven't seen a lot of complaints on them. It could make you a nice lightweight gun with the right upper.

The "AR situation"
I'll assume you didnt read my entire post. I never professed to be an armorer on an ar15 however I am confident that I can diagnose and assess basic issues from my firearm. Again your throwing out there of it being "a controlled explosion" is unnecessarily exaggerated. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't all guns use a form of explosion? What makes the AR so much harder to maintain? There are hundreds of threads on this board alone (let alone thousands on arfcom) with custom built ar's by "amateur armorers". Is it for everyone? No. Are there parts that need to be exactly in spec to function safely and properly? Yes. Is it impossible for the average person to accomplish? Not at all. Will it benefit you to learn the inner workings and assembly of your weapon? Absolutely. With that said, if the op feels more comfortable going to Joe Blow's guns store and snatching one off the shelf, by all means. With a reputable brand it is unlikely to let him down.

The "AR situation"
Obviously this is based on personal "handiness" but I would say most people who can detail strip and clean their handgun, can build a lower on watching a youtube video alone. An upper would be a little harder, requiring particular tools, but can easily be avoided by buying a semi-complete upper such as the ones BCM sells. You'll get the gas tube, gas block, barrel, and delta ring attached to the upper receiver. Still being able to customize the upper at your leisure. I built my first lower and purchased an upper as I stated above with no experience and the gun has performed flawlessly through many thousands of rounds. I don't think they are nearly as complicated as you make them out to be.

I Need Radar detecter Opinions
I've always heard that by the time you pick up the radar they already tagged you. Any truth to that?
-
The "AR situation"
Buy mine. $2000. Seriously though, I still recommend buying in pieces when possible (lower, lpk, stock, etc) yo cater more to what youll like and ultimately spend less changing stuff out. Oh and I don't see why you won't be able to get one later.

If your going so fast in residential neighborhoods that you need radar you need to slow the f down

Didn't you post a pic of a Walmart showing us all the guns and ammo they had on the shelves a little while back?

Baby Eagle vs. Beretta M9
I forgot about the Beretta conversion kit. And as far as the safety goes, I've never gotten confused or mistakenly activated it.

Primary arms micro red dots
I prefer the sparc. I have a PA multi rec RDS and I like the reticle better but its pretty heavy. I used the Sparc for my lightweight AR and it fits the role very well.

Ruger SR1911 vs. Springfield 1911 range officer "which is better"

Eotech 557
I'm not going to tell you that you ONLY have those eotech and aimpoint to choose from but I personally would've went with another company. Primary Arms and Vortex come to mind.

Ruger SR1911 vs. Springfield 1911 range officer "which is better"
There is just something about the Springrfield I just don't like. Can't really put my finger on it. Personally I think the Colt Rail Gun will be my next 1911.
