    Suppressors XDm 45

    I saw on the SA website that the XDm 45 is coming. Any thoughts on this new version? I've been thinking this will be a good weapon to keep in my truck. Most of my current handguns are 45 (5) are 45, so I do like the round.

    DPMS SASS upgrades

    I was thinking about selling my SASS to make room for the LMT 308 I so desperately want. Then I thought why not keep the SASS and maybe tune it up a bit. I've heard that the weakest part of the SASS is the trigger. What other upgrades have you guys tried or recommend? I bought mine used and...

    Defensive Handgun Training, Help

    It has become obvious that even though I have been around guns most of my life I need some training in defensive situations. I'm finishing up my graduate degree in May, so I can look to take some live training. However, in the meantime I was thinking about some sort of DVD I could get started...

    Level of threat, level of response? (little long)

    I've been watching my girlfriends house while she is away from school for break. Mostly I feed the cat and get the mail. Yesterday, I got there a little later in the evening than expected. There was a light on that I hadn't left on from my previous visit and the screen door wasn't latched...

    SASS FTF/FTE

    I just picked up a DPMS SASS (1st gen) and today was its first test drive. I can tell I need some higher rings already, however I am more concerned about a couple FTFs I had today. The ammo I was using was nothing special. Remy UMC (Wal-Mart) 150 grain FMJ. My rate of fire was slow, and still...

    Building an AR10 rifle

    Awhile back I bought a DPMS 308 complete lower from a guy here on the hide. I've been looking at options for finishing the build and I'm lost. I'd like it to look like the SR-25 or SASS, so I think a rail for the foregrip is good. I know I want it be a flat top so I can mount some quality...

    Fieldcraft Painting "Safe" and "Fire"

    I tried to do some searching on here to no avail. I'm interested in the proper way to paint the safe and fire on my AR. I've seen some partial information on using Testors enamel but I don't want to start painting until I know its the right way. Thanks!

    AICS in 338LM

    I'm thinking about getting a bolt action to do some LR shooting. I have a couple .308s a 6.5 and number of .223s that all are all semi-auto so I don't know much about bolts. I've heard good things about the 338LM and I would like to put one together. I also like the AICS. However, I've been...
