    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glocks Work. Period. End of Story.

    AIWB=Aiming Into Weiner and Balls. I prefer the P220 series Sigs over anything else. Never had any type of failure with one, I prefer carrying with a decocker only, and while the triggers aren't 1911 triggers they are worlds better than any Glock trigger-aftermarket or otherwise. FWIW I have...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glocks Work. Period. End of Story.

    Contrary to what many seem to believe, there are handguns that aren't Glocks or 1911s. Some even combine things like triggers that don't suck (from the 1911), with other things like magazines that hold more rounds than a revolver.

    Need a AK for the new year.

    There is nothing inherently wrong with an AK made in the US, the problem is that for years the only companies doing it did so by cutting corners on parts like trunnions that need to be forged to have adequate durability. This includes the Century rifles with cast trunnions and receivers, IO...

    Need a AK for the new year.

    Looks like Atlantic got Probably not until after their AK-74M which is what I'm looking forward to next. Rifle Dynamics is a good rifle, but too expensive for a kit build IMHO. For that price you should get a pinned gas block with some FSP adjustment and not a bolted on one that has to be...

    Need a AK for the new year.

    Their KR-9/KP-9 (pp 19-01 Vityaz) is built off the original pp-19 blueprints, and their AK103 will be built from the original plans as well. By all accounts it should be the closest think you can get to a 103 without the fun switch.

    Rifle Scopes TA11 vs. Elcan SpectreDR 1.5-6

    I have done a fair amount of shooting with ACOGs, both the RCO with which I have never had an issue qualifying expert (not that that's anything terribly impressive), and the SDO. They are good scopes, and pretty tough. I personally own an Elcan though-I think the glass is better, the reticle is...

    Rifle Scopes What’s the deal with Vortex? Yay? Nay?

    I'm apparently a poor so my Razor is a gen I, but it has been a great scope for me since I bought it two years ago, before which time it was manufactured...in Japan. I think they are comparable to other optics within their price range. A Strike Eagle won't have as nice of glass or be as durable...

    Ultrasonic Cleaners

    It will also cause steel to rust quickly if not treated with CLP shortly after. I do not recommend using Simple Green on firearms

    Ultrasonic Cleaners

    They are really nice for coaxing shit our of AR nooks and crannies. I don't throw optics or anything plastic in them

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC are close enough that I probably wouldn't a rifle in each unless I just wanted to-personally I wouldn't even get a new rifle, just an off the shelf conversion for my ACR. 6.8 has slightly better off the shelf ammo availability and a little better terminal ballistics at...

    HK mp5 SBR clones

    I wouldn't really consider a POF a clone, since its made on HK licensed tooling by a factory that makes legit military MP5s. If anything, the SP5 is less of a true MP5 because of the rear sight drum and the lack of a front pin. The only difference between a POF and a true MP5 is the receiver...

    Need a AK for the new year.

    Holy shit, a thread in the semiauto section that isn't about ARs! Do not buy a RAS 47 or a C39; if you buy a Century only get a WASR as Century only imports them and they are a true combloc built rifle, manufactured at Cugir in Romania. If he wants a shooter and not a collector then Russians...

    Sling for KRG Bravo

    I use the same sling that I use on most other rifles, which is a Vickers. The market has sort of gone to QD cups and swivels for slings which makes it real easy to minimize how many you have or need.

    277 Sig Fury

    I'm interested to see what the weight will be like for a rifle with an action that will handle repeated and automatic fire from an 80k PSI cartridge. Also what the recoil will be like. I don't really care how good it looks in an animal costume.

    What do you hope will be revealed at SHOT Show? Or 2020 in general.

    Like a semi-auto .308 that isn't an AR or SCAR??
