    Today I enjoyed the outdoors. I chose to carry......

    I'm in El Paso, TX. When I go hiking or biking off road, I take my Glock 33. The trails here have enough 4 leg threats and some 2 leg threats. For morning runs around the neighborhood (light jogging), I'll carry a Sig P238. While the .380 isn't my ideal caliber, the size and weight of the P238...

    IL - 1000s Won't be Able to Apply For Concealed Carry License

    Wow, I bet if people had to do this to vote, the libs would be crying racism and how unfair it is! :uhoh: While this concealed carry is better than nothing, I hope the ISRA and NRA will fight all the BS in court with the 16 hours training and psych eval BS.

    For those bashing California gun owners, they lead the nation in progun money raised

    Their cost of everything is also much higher so what's the point? I doubt there is any hope left for CA when it comes to gun rights. Only way to win is to leave, they're just that far gone...:banghead:

    Which rifle would you choose?

    Why the Colt? Yes, I am familiar with that platform but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to learn the Sig 556 platform.

    Which rifle would you choose?

    I've narrowed it down to 2 choices: Sig 556 or Colt 6920. Which would you choose and why? For me, they fall into my intended use of defense rifle in my price range. I really like the Sig for the folding stock ability but the Colt seems to have a longer proven track record. I'm more...

    My first HK

    Beware because HK pistols are very addicting. I'm currently the owner of a P2K in 9mm and a P2K in .357 SIG. Owned a USPc 9mm a few years ago as well.

    Which State has the best gun laws?

    I never looked into it but I'm pretty sure that you could not have a suppressor in Illinois. I was an IL resident a while ago.

    Which State has the best gun laws?

    Last 2 states I've been stationed in, Oklahoma and Louisiana, have had very gun friendly laws. I like both of them for the gun laws, low cost of living and the fact that the window tint laws for cars are good, no vehicle emissions and only a front plate is required. Then again, coming from...

    Sig 1911

    Well, I ordered one. It'll be ready for us to pick up after deployment. And if history holds true, there will be guys who buy them and will end up selling them a few months after deployment for whatever reason. Then I'll have a chance to buy a another one at that time if I really like it. I...

    Sig 1911

    Well, my unit is going to have the unit insignia engraved on either a Sig P250 or a Sig 1911. I'm going with the 1911 or no gun at all. So my question is: who has the Sig 1911 and how good is it? How does it compare to the other 1911 manufacturers? I have a Springer GI so I guess that's...

    Military Shooting Qualification

    Army basic, I want to say it was 40 rounds total: 20 prone supported, 10 prone unsupported and 10 kneeling. 24 was qualification, 33 was the next step and then 37 was the next cut. I can't remember what each step was as Officers do not wear marksmanship badges. That was with iron sights...

    Who has a P229 in .357 Sig?

    Try www.topgunsupply.com to see if they have any. Your dealer is going to charge you a transfer fee on a gun you purchase from them? :what: I'd let that rip off of a shop be known so everyone can avoid that place. The .357 is a snappy cartridge, think .40 S&W but snappier. It has a very...

    who here has a sig P239?

    I carry mine IWB Blade Tech Bobby McGee. My P239 is probably my most carried pistol due to the size. Second would be my HKP2000 which I also carry in the same model holster. I've never carried my P239 OWB but if I did, I think I would go leather via Galco or Don Hume. I've never tried a...

    Springfield MilSpec 1911

    You didn't buy that pistol, at that price, you stole it! :neener:

    Springfield MilSpec 1911

    Just getting night sights installed on the MilSpec will cost you $200. You guys can do the math yourself. Spend a little more upfront or spend a lot more later.
