    M & P 2.0. Yes or no

    Had an opportunity to try the M & P 2.0 last week. Really liked the ergonomics and the trigger. Well, the reset seemed a little weak, but 15 rounds is hardly an informed opinion. I thought I'd ask this group what you all have experienced on this model and if any of you carry this on duty or...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Bullet trap / target backstop

    That's what i'm currently using. Problem with it is that I can't capture the projectiles - well, I could, but it'd be a PITA, compared to the Jerry Miculek / Snail type trap. I have a source for plate that is relatively economical. AR500 is another story. I am afraid that I'll have to go...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Go to bullet for self defense

    Concur. They've got some good deals on 9mm bullets and on some 556 55 grain fodder. Probably all shoots better than I do.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Go to bullet for self defense

    Thanks, gents. I'll get 500 of each and see which on e I like best on paper and hope that's all it ever sees. 500 of the gold dots and the HST's, that is. God bless America

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Go to bullet for self defense

    Looking for suggestions for self defense bullets. I load for 9mm, 40 SW, and .357 magnum. Something along the lines of gold dots or what Hornady loads in critical duty. Only interested in the projectile, not loaded ammunition. Recommended powders would be nice, too, especially for the .357...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Bullet trap / target backstop

    Thanks for the answer. I asked the question about thickness because of the extremely high cost of all steel, particularly ar500. If I can accomplish the same goal of simply capturing the projectiles without incurring the expense of AR 500 then that is the approved solution. I am fairly...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Bullet trap / target backstop

    I would like to build a bullet trap used primarily for 22LR, 9mm, and cast bullets from a .357 mag. Has anyone done this, and what's the minimum thickness of steel for handguns? 7.62 X 39 or 30-30 type rifles? .223? Expecting to need AR-500 steel for this. I've read a thread that I can't...

    Another Boots thread - supportive boots that drain water

    First time in new boots - yank out the insoles, put on your thinnest socks, heaviest ruck, then wait for a torrential downpour and do the whole thing at an airborne shuffle on pavement. I did this once. Never again. Good luck with the new kicks

    Tactical World reloading supplies - Maine

    Kind of the vibe I was getting, but if guys on here were using them I figured I'd give it a shot. Something gives me the heebie jeebies. God bless America

    Switch barrel build

    If you're married to this action then you can get to where you want. Kind of. But you will be much happier with a short action. Call Aaron at Zermat and tell him what you are trying to do. Then, call Matt Stewart at Stewart Rifles. Lots of good builders, but Matt's done a lot wow work for...

    Trimming when loading on a Dillon 550

    Thanks, all. I was hoping for a handgun-esque answer, but common sense will dictate that I handle the brass again. Still better than a single stage.

    You live in the wrong state - wrong part of the country.

    Trimming when loading on a Dillon 550

    Gents, All of my previous reloading - 308, 30-06, 300WM, and .357 has been done on a single stage. I've recently taken the plunge on a 550 thanks to the advice on this site and others, and was wondering where in the process those of you who load 223 on a 550 are trimming your brass. Do you...

    Another Boots thread - supportive boots that drain water

    How'd the go faster's work out? To go backwards (maybe) is the limiting factor with jungle boots the lack of support? I am also looking for something that drains, doesn't feel like you're walking in ski boots (I already pimp walk without even trying), and offers some support in the event of...

    Thermal for poors

    Gents, I'm looking at a pulsar thermion (the 3-13 X model) and the pulsar core thermal scopes. There's about a $400 difference between the two and my question is for those who have handled both, is the thermion that much better? Gut says yes, but I've done well to ask the obvious on this...

    Considerations on a new build

    Thanks for the advice. Concur, I'm looking to stay away from some of the more gucci things like low mass bolt carrier groups and lightweight buffers. Right now there's a standard mass bcg on order and a rifle weight buffer and spring. I figure with the rifle length everything and the 20"...

    Considerations on a new build

    Is adjustable gas even required? Regarding recoil reduction, quick follow ups, etc. - with a 223 - I'm not good enough to notice the difference. My preference is to go with the A2 front sight non-adjustable gas block and have rainier install it. I'm gonna call them tomorrow and chat them up...

    Considerations on a new build

    OK, Starting to pick up steam. https://www.rainierarms.com/checkout/cart/ Do I need to keep shopping for a different BCG? Between the two is Rubber City better than Rise? What about a gas block? Ranier has the Superlative Arms - which everyone on here raves about, and I could be...
