Optics for M&P CORE or FNX Tac?
Just picked up a 40L CORE from TJ's Sporting Arms today (thanks Tony!) and was wondering which optics those of you with a CORE or FNX Tactical chose and why. I am also going to be purchasing an fnx to replace my fnp and would like something that could be interchanged if possible. Looking at alot of the options it seems the dots are rather large (5-8 MOA), as someone who likes a 2 MOA dot on a rifle this strikes me as rather large - hence asking for the input of anyone who has any pistol mounted dots!

Can someone identify this holster.
Wow I had no idea they were that much. We have like a dozen of em brand new at the store lol. We used to find em mixed in with other stuff at the govt auctions.

Long arm records
From my experience the amount of gun owners that keep all of their paperwork is no where near 100%. I have actually had several people fill out the COE and then either rip it up or throw it out bc they do not wish to keep records, stating the law says it has to be filled out/signed, but not kept. Not what I do, but there are def those ppl out there.

Your Firearms Wishlist
I just got 6 permits back and I think this is what I will use them on: I have an M&P40L CORE on its way to TJ's S&W E-series or MC Operator WW2 era 1911 some sort of revolver in .38/357 FNX tactical in fde (will replace my FNP45USG in fde) reserving one permit for an impulse buy - maybe some sort of ccw gun or another collectors piece Other wish list items right now are a KAC SR15 that I have been procrastinating on buying for months, a TA11H (hopefully getting for xmas) and a new 1-4 scope for my Noveske ar

How many rounds...
I have most of my ammo delivered to an office, which is up 3 flights of stairs. My ups guy hates me lol. If you are trying to figure out how much ammo to store, I would look at how much you shoot per month of any given caliber and then make sure you have at least a years worth. This will insulate you somewhat from price spikes and will also give you the benefit of buying by the case which will reduce your cost as well. I have about 2 yrs worth of pistol ammo stored and significantly more than that of rifle ammo, but that is only because it turns out I am using waaay less rifle ammo than I anticipated I would. It's rare I shoot more than 100 rds of rifle ammo on any given range trip.

anybody here works in a car dealer?
^ My last car was an A6 4.2 that was serviced and repaired at your dealership. The girls at the counter were always really nice and they gave me a free loaner every time even though I didnt buy the car there. Would def go back if Im in the market for another Audi.

Any Cool 223/556 Semi-Auto Rifles?
Owned a scar and it was def fun but ultimately decided to sell. Have had a Tavor for 6 months and LOVE it. Accurate, rugged, well designed, and is fun to shoot.

HK45CT, Sig P227SRT or FNX 45 (non tactical)
I have an fnp45, love it. Also love my 226 though, so tough call. Edit: Thought about it and if the 227 shoots the same as 226 I would go with the 227.

quick Clot?
They come in the issue trauma packs we sell at the store. From the little research I did on them they seem to work pretty well for localized excessive bleeding. Never had to use one (thankfully) though.

Range/Defense Ammo For Kimber .45 1911 Custom II
I've put about 1k rds down the pipe of my kimber custom II and it will eat anything you put in it. I purchased it from another forum member who had several hundred rounds though it before that. I don't use my Kimber for defense but Federal HST premium HP ammo has performed well in .45 defense ammo for me. For target ammo go to slickguns.com, make an account, and put .45 ammo in you alerts. You will get an email as soon as anything comes in stock in your caliber for your price point. I haven't bought any since last year, but then I was paying $300/case shipped for brass case 230gr fmj ammo.

Edit, it's classified as a rebate, so you can use it with another promo code if you have one. It comes off before purchase like a promo code though.

$20 off Cabela's order of $150 of more coupon (only 1)
Hey I was going through mail and I found a Cabela's coupon that came for $20 off a $150 purchase. Heres the thing, it expires at midnight. So you have roughly 90 minutes to use it. Sorry for the late notice. I won't use it so I wanted to post it. First person to pm me they want it gets the code.

no one selling there used guns anymore?
^ I hope this doesn't turn into another marketplace thread, that wasn't the intention of my post. Honestly I think that there is an abundance of used firearms out there for sale. I was recently in Maine at a store that had probably 1000+ used long guns on racks and another 500 or more used handguns in cases. Other sites I check also have a constantly scrolling wts section that you have to keep up with every day otherwise its overwhelming. Used guns are out there, they just might not be on your local gun shop's rack.

no one selling there used guns anymore?
After posting a few guns for sale on the new marketplace with no sales I listed everything on other sites and they sold within a day or two. Don't post firearms for sale here anymore. ^ Edit: I mean that I don't post firearms for sale here anymore, not suggesting others don't.

Not all FDE the same? UPDATED with new pics
All fde of the same brand should look the same as long as its the same material (all plastic, all metal). There is a HUGE difference between manufacturers though in what their fde color looks like. I learned this the hard way. That being said I pieced together an fde ar that the colors came out pretty close on. Troy drop in rail. Vltor imod stock. Magpul mbuis grip and mag.
