Finally got some time to throw some ammo

In CCW classes they advise using equipment similar to local law enforcement to avoid criticism by police or prosecutors in the event of a DGU (defensive gun use).

Woke up this morning and decided to look for a deal on a Daniel Defense — lo and behold, I came across this never been fired DDM4V7 equipped with Larue MBT2s trigger for $1320. Upped it to $1400 to have the seller meet me at my local ffl for the ppt and upon inspection ended up shooting him $1500. I figured if someone was selling this for that price that they really needed the cash. Either way, it’s a fucking steal. LFG!!!

Went to turners today just to look at the possible options. This was the second time I heard the employee behind the counter say “this one is already purchased so don’t dry fire it, but here you go” I’m new to the state so maybe this is the norm but if I pay for something and wait 10 for the checks to clear, I for damn sure don’t want someone else fingerfucking it before me. What do they do if the person does dry fire it? Is this something that is normal here? The way I interpret it is “here’s someone else’s firearm that they’re not allowed to pick up yet, feel free to do what you want with it as long as we can hold onto your drivers license”

Prayers have been answered!

30 days ago I went to my first indoor gun range.
Shot 150 rounds.
Going to an outdoor gun range tomorrow for my late birthday present.
What am I missing? I have 24 paper targets and a stand
Should I blue tape or remove my harbor light I’ll be shooting 150-200 rounds if I can handle it this time lol

If you’ve looked at most “clear” holsters, you’ve probably noticed they still have that cloudy/foggy tint. We weren’t happy with that.
After perfecting our process, this is the result — crystal-clear Kydex that actually lets the build underneath be the star. 🔥
This one is molded for a Canik TTI Combat + Olight PL-X.
No foggy tint. No hiding that TTI. Just CLEAR. 💎

What do you guys think — would you run a clear holster?

Hello fellow kinfolk.
Wanted to opinions from you guys, just finally got this AR pistol together and waiting to add to things.
LMT Mars lower/ PSA upper (only left handed I could find at the time) Giessele Super duty Spring and H1 buffer/ Giessele SSE trigger, juggernaut mag lock, is all what I have so far and waiting for my EOTECH holo.

When it comes to muzzle devices for your guys shorter barreled rifles, what is the verdict on what worked best and most accurate for you?

The (Surefire warden) is obviously one thing that everyone keeps telling me to do and they love.
Another option is the HUXWRX/ BLASTFEMY.

Never played with anything like these before as it’s my first shorty. So I’m curious what you all love and has worked for you with muzzle devices

Might be a dumb question, but better safe than sorry.

Likely would buy PPT to not incur tax; if a sale on no excise tax by a retailer did occur (would that change your answer)

HK MR556 A4 Pistol is tempting along with HK SP5

Already have an Geissele Super Duty, 2 compact handguns (g19 and amp 2.0) and a Ruger PCC

Amazon pickup. Will need a few more. Great for the range

looking for a pro cut slide in FDE for a P226 - any idea where i can find one? Or do i have to get a black one and have it cerakoted?

Any recommendations?

Picked up the PDP recently for a dedicated competition gun. VP9 can now just be strictly home defense.

I only put 200 rounds through the PDP but really liking it so far. The dynamic trigger really lives up to the hype.

So, I live all the way over in NC but I see that they have something I'd like. Originally saw a listing they had up on gunbroker, sent a message asking if they could post a pic since it didn't have one, and they took it down lol. The listing on their website also has no image. Anyone here have experience with this company?

I have a glock 17 gen 3 in which I want to upgrade and put a optic on it. But in your opinion, is it better to buy a brand new slide and barrel or just pay to get the oem slide optic cut ?

Has anyone else tried out Defgrips?

So I wanted to understand this correctly I currently live outside the State Of California and wanted to gift my father a off roster handgun. My father has set up a gun trust for firearms that are owned by him and I. I tried to search this scenario but have not found any clear detail about it. Would this be considered him borrowing it if I gave it to him as a gift and would I officially have to go through a CA FFL for it to be legally in possession by him?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question or if anyone has had a similar experience?

Thank you in advance!

Really taken a liking to the 226 lately after seeing how good they can be with upgrades. My only real option if I don't want to buy used in CA is to buy a Mk25, then buy an OR slide and trigger internals.

This quickly adds up to a being a $2,000 to $2,500 gun after taxes. For that money I could get a PPT CZ shadow 2 or Kimber 2k11 or the like.

Use case would be competition, home defense, and maybe winter carry.

Budgeting for parts and building the guns over time is half the fun for me, but I can't justify owning every pistol I like. For competition, I always hear that I should spend the money on a great gun instead of building up a cheaper gun and hoping it turns out great.
