This. I like a magpul VFG almost halfway down my mid-length handguard. It's a great handstop and can double as a full-hand foregrip for certain scenarios/positions. I leave plenty of room for my full-hand traditional-style under handguard in front of VFG so that I can utilize multiple...

Can't tell you how many debates/arguments I've had with people, even 'groups' of people, about all of this information to absolutely no avail. Always nice when an officer, or otherwise 'insider' to the legal system, can corroborate. 1. You are 'always' guilty 'til proven innocent. I'm not...

Very nice.

Don't have one, but I've heard good things about all the WSM cartridges. If anything, the ammo is higher priced and a bit harder to come by.

Glocks truly are ridiculously resilient. In competition, many are run very hard for long periods of time and countless rounds without 'ever' being cleaned and they still fail less than any other manufacturer, in my own personal first-hand experience. There were even guys who would swear by...

Though it's not the most desirable option, I really don't find the blind mag to be an issue at all-especially on a budget rifle. Just load the mag full, press the top round down and ease the bolt closed and you have a full mag of very protected cartridges from the elements and a safe rifle...

I chose the Savage in .243 before even reading your list of existing rifles. In my experience, .243 is a very accurate cartridge with relatively low recoil. Most who have experience with Savage rifles would agree they are relatively accurate with free-floated barrels and good adjustable...

Yeah, I think I'd have to choose handgun, myself, all things considered. -But I'd quickly make friends with someone who chose shotty! :D

I took that the theme of the OP's post had more to do with the handling/shootability of the SHIELD than it's comparable dimensions/capacity to other guns of its niche. The title appears to have been referring to the 'handling' of such a small 9mm in comparison to Glock's smallest 9mm (to...

1-4x is ideal for an AR15, specifically with the .223/5.56 cartridge. Most situations you would be fine using the 1x. For those few that would require magnification, you've got it. I really like the Burris MTAC. Though it's most widely used in competition, I think it's a great...

I really love the G36. Capacity has never bothered me and the accuracy/reliability has always been great with all kinds of ammo. Carries very, very well. Have to say, though, this little XDs intrigues me. Not really competing the two, in my mind, but I find a few (4) things very...

Certainly your post 'must' be directed at others that have commented on this thread. The sentence of mine that you quoted was only in response to another post. I didn't start this thread to drag CTD through the mud at all. My sole intent was to ask if anybody knew why only 2 kinds of...

Oh, that's right. I did hear something about that. Isn't there a big IDPA match like a week before that or something somewhere in the semi-vicinity?

Right. I've heard many a horror story, myself and I was there when they went ballistic on ammo prices during the Obama scare. Curious why it's just Remington in their catalog that's gone way up, though. Everything else is the same price it's been for months. Probably just some...

Interesting. Is it Remington .45 you're buying?
