NT's LEGAL Gun Thread UPDATE...First Youtube Firearm Review Page 61

[keepzdasneakz]

Just came back from the range, tested out the Beretta 9FS and a SW .357 snub. That magnum was ridiculous....couldn't hit shot beyond 10 yards. Beretta wasn't bad, but the operation on it was a bit clunky...friends and I agreed we'd rather go cop something else...namely German or American.

Edit: +@@!, man...i was holding the P226 and it felt so right in my hand...but my boy was the hittin me up saying he wanted to shoot the beretta. Next time for sure I will give that a try....maybe a 9MM USP as well.

Never dealt with the M-Frames, but I've done my best shooting with the Revision Sawfly Large Frames. I like the huge uninterrupted visor on them. I just got issued some Wiley X XL-1's and they seem to be all the rage and they can convert from goggles with the foam seal to sunglasses. I just haven't actually worn them yet. They come with clear and smoked lenses. Below is a pic of mine.

Nothing new, well except for the Laser/Light combo. Light is 220 Lumens and it has a strobe function to disorient at night. Laser is the new green lasers. Green lasers are so bright that they will show up on a target in bright sunlight up at 50+ meters away. Has a switch that goes from laser only, light only, and laser/light together. You can toggle it off and on with the thumb of your support hand without breaking grip. My mags are loaded with Winchester Ranger T-Series hollowpoints. These are the infamous Black Talon rounds that have been repackaged because they got bad press. Same bullet, just marketed differently. Suckers spread and has some nasty "talons".

Sig is looking nice Elder!

I need to cop some more mags for my HK. Went shooting with my HK and Glock yesterday will post pics of the targets soon. A friend of mine is doing armed security in Iraq for the US embassy and he was showing me some of the gun practices and tips he learned.

I have some ESS M-frame looking glasses with drop in sunglasses that are pretty decent. I have those Wiley-X ones pictured here but the frame broke and OD duct tape is currently holding them together.

Is there any kind of information that people can give to me? I really want my LTC license here in Massachusetts but I'm afraid they're just going to look at my childish behavior when I was young.

Do some reading at Northeastshooters.com, and contact either Keith Langer or Jesse Cohen. Both are awesome firearms attorneys in MA, and can help you through the process. depending on what town you live in it can be a nightmare or a dream.

Thank you for the information. I did some research and checked out Keith Langer's website. Sent in my application a few days ago. *Fingers Crossed* 

I feel like such an idiot for hanging out with those goons when I was younger. It's coming back to bite me in the +*$.

New Magpul DVD coming out. Looks 

 

[frank mucus]

Yo AR Guy I ordered the DDM4 V3 LW, but now I have to wait 10 days. I also got to see the LWRC M6A2 in person with the flutted barrel and it is 

and it's so light. Now I'm sort of having  buyers remorse. What's your opinion on the LWRC. It's about a stack more than the DDM4 I bought + tax.

 

[big j 33]

Probably getting my first gun tomorrow. Deciding between a Glock 19 or a Springfield Armory XD 9mm. I've handled the XDM and the Glock 17 but they didn't feel as good in the hands to me. I'm getting my concealed license soon so I'll keep that in mind as well as general home defense.

On a related note, if anyone in the Central Florida area is in need of any guns, ammo, etc. my mom has owned her own gun store out in Deland since November. They do trade-ins, consignment, layaway, and will beat the best prices against competitors.

not trying to advertise too much, but just throwing it out there

 

[shoefreak77]

my range is having a demo sale on 6 mo. old range guns...im on the fence...i have been wanting the HK P30 .40 for a while and they have it in the sale for 679.00....
still dont know what im gonna do....

[ar guy]

Very nice Frank Mucus. Don't have buyers remorse, you made the right choice. With that extra grand you can buy a Aimpoint or Eotech and 1000 rds of 5.56 or an ACOG with no ammo. If you really want to lighten your rifle ADCO can reprofile or flute the barrel for you. Also I prefer the direct impingement over the piston operating system for ARs. So you made a great decision for your first AR and most importantly have fun and shoot the hell out of it.

 

[big j 33]

Picked up my first gun today, went with the Springfield XD-9 H.C. It was a tough call because I really did like the Glock 19, but the Springfield's grip safety was one of the things I really wanted so that helped make my decision.

Looking forward to getting to the range sometime soon.

Sorry this is being typed from my iPhone. The Adcor Defense B.E.A.R. Elite is quite simply one of the most advanced and capable AR platforms available. It's not mainstream yet but those in the know are up on it. As a matter of fact it is being considered for the Army's competition for the replacement for the M4. What makes it so great? It has the first free float barrel found in a piston AR. Their piston system eliminates bolt carrier tilt that plagues most piston setups. It has 2 charging options...the traditional charging handle at the rear, and a rail mounted non-reciprocating ambidextrous charging system. This allows you to keep your rifle in firing position while still being able to charge the weapon. But also retains the rear charging handle for traditionalists. It has a monolithic rail system that keeps zero better when taking your optics on and off. It uses a hammer forged AND chrome lined M-249 SAW barell that is good for 25k rounds. It passed the HP White torture test of 6000 rounds and no malfunctions or failures. Also the HK style buried in mud and water submerged test. After the 6000 round test the same gun shot under 1 minute of angle. That's very accurate for a piston AR. The company is out of Baltimore MD. I'm very impressed with this rifle and it is starting to garner a lot of attention from the professional shooting circle. I definitely will check one out when I get back.

nice avy AR guy

 

[da doc03]

I think im gonna cop the Kimber 1911 pro carry 2 with laser grips...

 

[elderwatsondiggs]

^^You are going to love it. I had the Kimber Crimson Carry Pro with laser grips and not only did she look good she shot good. Kimbers have excellent resale/trade value as well. Not to say you are gonna sell it, but if you did you'd get good money for it.

 

[elderwatsondiggs]

Just got my concealed weapon license today. Took 3 weeks in Northern VA. Anyway I need some help narrowing down concealment holsters. I only know about mil type holsters (Serpa, Safariland, Blackhawk), I know nothing about the civvie type concealed ones. I appreciate your assistance.

 

[ar guy]

Elder checkout
-Comp-Tac
-Raven Concealment
-NTAC Holsters
-Hideous Holsters
-Crossbreed

All make really good kydex holster. I know for sure that Comp-Tac and Crossbreed make hybrid leather/kydex holsters for increased comfort.
