What's the risk with the BCM? People use the FSC comps without fear despite the fact that the FS stands for Flash Suppressing. Yeah the law is ambiguous because Flash Hider isn't defined, so there's risk associated with any compensator. I don't see the hesitation with BCM from a legal standpoint. If you want to err on the side of caution don't use a muzzle device at all.

Oh sweet Jesus hahahahahaha

We've come a long way since 1986.

I can understand the preference for other calibers, but why dump on 9mm? It's a very capable round.

I started a thread about rail panels which turned into a good discussion about keymod in general. Take a look and decide for yourself. I'm partial to keymod. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/64235-keymod-rail-panels/

I agree that it's hard to argue against a compact, striker-fired 9mm. But there's a ton of other handguns in the same market segment like the PPQ, XD, M&P9, Steyrs, and now the VP9. Any of those will be a decent choice.

If you know you're going to get a PPQ, don't bother with a G19. Diversify with a different caliber or type of gun.

I definitely found that to be the highlight of the article.

I'd definitely buy some popcorn for that one!

Probably more politics with Rice's case, IMHO.

Thanks for the link. I was reading the intro and wondering where it was going, then I got to this: What. The. Eff. This is literally the same person. LITERALLY THE SAME PERSON, who denied Shaneen's application. What a prick. He goes on in the article to explain how horrible violent acts are, yet Shaneen is being charged with mere possession charges. This guy has a special place in hell reserved.

I wouldn't write him off so quickly. He's very popular among the left and has a lot of potential growth ahead of him. While he's no friend of ours, he could be a lot worse.

Dear god why did they think throwing that abortion on the barrel was a good idea?

I moved from a MOE grip to a BCM and prefer the angle and feel of BCM more.

Welcome to the club! I'll still hate on you a bit for getting the M2, though

The problem is Keymod had a pretty good headstart and a ton of companies have already adopted it (KAC, BCM, Noveske to name a few). I was seriously hoping Magpul would hop on the keymod boat, but apparently they didn't think polymer+keymod work well together. Oh well..

Quick question: How bad is muzzle blast on a 300blk SBR/pistol? Since 300blk does a full powder burn in a shorter barrel I imagine it's not as bad?

You're missing the point. All new designs use proprietary parts. It's what makes them new. Criticizing piston ARs for having proprietary parts is a dumb argument because they are new designs. I don't have a problem with new. Every gun starts somewhere. I'm more interested in the merits of engineering and design than track record. Nobody is doubting that ARs have a large pool of parts and a long track record. But if that's the standard by which you compare all competition, you'll see every new design fail because you wanted it to from the beginning. That's not fair.

I see piston ARs like I see new rifle designs like the Tavor, ACR, MDR, etc. They're new products, but they also happen to have significant overlapping with AR parts. Arguing against the proprietary nature of piston designs is effectively an argument against innovation. No new design will have the track record of a firearm which has seen service in the largest armies of the world. That doesn't make that new design inferior, just new. When I bought my PWS, it was because I liked the design, the company, and the function of the rifle. I don't look down on DI guns. They're a different beast. I'm confident my rifle will be reliable and is dependable enough to bet my life on. We can't just argue against new designs because they're new. We should argue against them based on their merits. I don't understand the hate going either way here.

Chances are most people won't shoot either to their failure points. Just get whatever floats your boat. As per my avatar I'm preferential to PWS products, but that's just me.

Getting right to it, here's the graphic: Not very well sourced and can be picked apart really easily by anti-gun people. Criticism is well done at this link where I found the graphic: http://www.reddit.com/r/Firearms/comments/2esztn/how_guns_are_used_in_america_infographic/ck2pcai Even if we see data supporting our side it's important to investigate it and verify the information before we regurgitate it. Bummer the info isn't better because the graphic itself is well done.

NRA posted this on YouTube: Ginny Simone Reporting | Justice in New Jersey?:

You still haven't provided a reason as to why the Barrett is a Corvette and the competition merely Camaros. I see lots of words and little substance. From the beginning I've been asking for you to back up your metaphor and the closest you've come is admitting you have just as little experience as me.

Sounds like probable cause to me!
