Back in the day I had an Insight M6 on my house gun. I'd like something similar but without having to spend $200+ on it. Are there any good light/laser combos retailing for <$150 that aren't "airsoft-tier" Thanks! atek3

Both are underrated cartridges...

Everyone has their favorite "Three rifle combination", a classic would be: 223, 30-06, 375 H&H Mag. If you were planning to do everything from Florida Hogs to Namibian Cape Buffalo, what would be your three "do it all" cartridges? For me: 6.5 Creedmoor- excellent performance on light and...

Midway has them on-sale for $99 and I wanted to see if anyone had built one. For those who haven't heard of it: http://www.polymer80.com/Pistol-Frame_ep_60.html It's an 80% lower that is compatible with Glock 17/19/34,22,24,35 slides. I'm eager to build one up, but I want to make sure it's...

Thanks for the tips, guys. Will let you know. Probably going with an Apex so it matches the feel of my Shield. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

"My question is, why after 7 years would any gunsmith be obligated to give away something free when his work was fine for over 7 years? The gunsmith did nothing wrong but you might have if you didn't do normal maintenance by replacing springs over a 7 year period." The gun has about 1000...

should have been more clear. The light strike and no-strike are probably unrelated issues. Striker channel is definitely clean and dry. FL-NC: I went through my email records and figured out who worked the gun over. He's a highly respected S&W M&P specialist, so I'm not going to drag...

About 7 years ago, I bought a second hand M&P 9c. Cerakote, Dawson fiber sights, crimson trace grip, match trigger job. I had a few light primer strikes which were bad. I took a defensive pistol class and had several "dead triggers." I would pull the trigger during a drill and get nothing. Not...

So I moved to CT and set up an NFA trust. I want a 22lr pistol with a can on it. My first thought was buy a screw-on that I can share between my 22lr pistol and rifles, but I learned more about CT law... no threaded barrels on handguns made after 1994. So that leaves either using a...

five years in manhattan, before that I've lived all over.

Ten years ago, the received wisdom was that trigger jobs on carry guns were bad juju from a legal standpoint. I.e. lawyers could seize upon that to argue that your gun was a 'finely tuned killing machine.' At the time I thought that was generally much ado about nothing, but has case law...

I want to put one of my handguns in my bedside table drawer. Ideally it should have a quick-release system such as a short combination of finger presses then pop up to reveal the gun, butt first. I bought a $199 hornady safe but it's far too big to fit. Anyone got any ideas?

Five long years of living in a hostile jurisdiction and I've finally moved back to a shall-issue state. I got my CT Pistol License, but I haven't used it yet. I have a few questions for locals: 1) Which CT gun forum has the most traffic? CTguntalk, CTshooting, or northeastshooters? 2)...

Any THR members nearby? Started the process on my CT permit. Will be joining CCRRC in Oct. Best Regards, atek3

I moved to CT, a shotgun-only state for deer, so I bought a 23" rifled barrel for my Remington 870 with the cantilever scope mount. Any recommendations on which rings to buy? I will probably use either a 1-4 or 2-7x low power variable. I'm trying to keep the total cost down so no Warne...
