CJ USPSA match 7-14-2013
Thanks Brian! I actually did join so I should be compared to the other production shooters. I might switch up the gun I use but will still be in the production class in future matches.

CJ USPSA match 7-14-2013
Made it there today and shot the first half of the match, then had to leave due to prior plans. Had a blast and will def be going to the monthy cjrpc match. Nice meeting all of the forum members today as well. Special thanks to vlad who was very patient and couldnt have been nicer. To be honest all of the shooters and ro's were very helpful and patient. Now I just need to work on my skill set lol.

Got it out to the range today. Pro's are that it is accurate and there is not much muzzle rise. It cycles quickly and I was getting good groups at 50 yds, and was able to hit a 5" steel circle at 100yds pretty easily using just the irons. Cons are that the 10rd mag goes waaay too fast and I only have 2 mags right now for it lol. The recoil is significant. IMO its worse than the .308s I have shot. If you dont have the stock pushed back into your shoulder real tight you are going to be in for a surprise. Lastly the trigger is somewhat heavy but manageable. All in all its a neat carbine. I dont think I will be using it for a home defense or class gun but it will be a fun range plinker. Also got a newly completed ar out today which performed absolutely awesome. The geissele ssa trigger is fantastic and between the muzzle brake, imod stock, and jp silent spring there is literally no felt recoil. Last pic is what happens when you dont follow instructions and out the target at 100yds and not 200yds. Totally damaged the steel with a .223 rd.

9999
I can fill both of those requirements with my suggestion: buy a sig 226 in .22lr and buy the 226 exchange kit in 9mm. I bought my 226 .22lr and 9mm exchange kit for under $900 out the door. You get a good range plinker and the same battle proven 9mm that comes from the factory for just over the price of a 226 9mm msrp. When you put the xchange kit on it there is no difference between your pistol and a factory 9mm 226. It even comes with night sights.

What is your go to EDC blade
I was supposed to get the 810 contego as a bday present this year but that never panned out as my gf planned something else. I am eagerly awaiting your review bc I really wanted it.

What is your go to EDC blade
I use a kershaw scallion for edc. It is cheap and sharpens well. I work in a place where I use a knife often to open boxes but it would not be good to have a bulky knife sticking out of my pocket for customers to see. The scallion fits perfectly in the change pocket of my jeans and is so thin you don't even see it.

20/20 gun myths
Watching that was like a breath of fresh air. Now they need to put in on the night time news to let everyone see.

A gun, a girl
At first I thought this was going to be a link in the NSFW forum, but I was equally happy to read the blog post lol. My gf was indifferent to my firearms hobby until I took her shooting, since then she really enjoys it and certain guns in the safe are "her guns". I took this as a sign that more people just need to see how fun it is to shoot and have since turned several other people with no shooting experience into shooting enthusiasts.

Nothing wrong with lists, I just wish mine were shorter. Sounds like a teenager is trolling you telling you his fake 700 is better than yours, tell him when he wants to meet you on the range you will see who's is better! I haven't even thought about an optic. This was a more or less impulse buy even though I had thought about buying one for a while. I know the mepro is out bc I looked at them for my Tavor and they don't perform well in low light or transitioning environments. I will look into the Zeiss. I tend to be an Aimpoint guy but for now I will just use the factory sights since I likely won't shoot it past 100yds.

Any experience with Tango Down VFG's?
Yesterday I bought a carbine that came with a Tango Down VFG, this one: http://tangodown.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=65 I know it isn't a knock off so before you suggest that it's not the case. There is a lot of play in the VFG, i.e. it rocks back and forth on the rail. The rail is rock solid on the carbine, so I know it's the attachment points on the VFG. After looking it up it isn't a cheap VFG, so I am wondering if any of you have their products and can tell me if this is normal? Normally I would just assume there was something wrong with it but the attachment points on this one are different from anything else I have used, including a QD TD grip. Grip is pictured.

I am also on the hunt for an early model bobcat mp-5 clone. I have read that they are the best quality mp-5 clone's and I will have one sooner or later. Those are some pretty awesome nfa options, we expect pics when you move and get any of them lol!

wasr 10 price check?
If I still had it I would sell it to you! After buying some other rifle's I realized AK's just aren't my thing so I sold it along with all my 7.62 ammo. I did however recently play with an Arsenal and it made me reconsider getting another one. The fit an finish was far and away better than my WASR, but they also go for 4x what I paid for it, or 2X what they are worth now. Personally I would rather pay more for quality and if I was in the market would rather drop the 1000-1200 for an Arsenal than pay the 600-800 for a WASR. Just my opinion though.

In 2009 I paid $299 for mine new from classic arms and it came with 5 mags and a case. Never saw them that cheap again though.

CJ USPSA match 7-14-2013
Thanks for the input. I am going to the match on Sunday and will see how it goes. As you said safety will be my main focus as I am not trained in moving/drawing from a holster/shooting quickly. I can do one at a time well but when you combine them who knows lol.

Thanks! I believe they are compliant out of the box. No muzzle brake, no collapsible stock, 10rd mag. Doesn't seem there are enough "evil" characteristics to have it be neutered by our lovely state.

CJ USPSA match 7-14-2013
hmm i guess i will have to choose what i shoot best then. i own several of the options listed. is this something friendly to beginners or more geared to experienced shooters? I belong to CJRPC but all of my experience is in shooting paper or steel targets from a static position. I don't mind scoring badly or being laughed at, but I don't want to hold a match up because I am slow at moving and reloading or am missing targets. after googling video's of uspsa matches it seems there is a lot of moving/shooting/reloading in a rapid fashion which I am not adept at.
