    Range USA

    I have used my membership at multiple locations. I travel for work and it's nice to get some range time while in the road. I have purchased a few guns from them out of their used inventory and during sales events. Read their store/range policies. They require signing their range waiver once a...

    The New S&W “Response” 9mm carbine

    @md7 and any others who want more info on 9mm blowback ARs I suggest this site: https://blowback9.wordpress.com/ I have 2 Ruger PC Carbines and an M&P FPC. I've owned a PSA AR9 and a Marlin Camp 9. The FPC, despite being the lightest, has the least felt recoil. I like that the Response is...

    S&W FPC and new folding 9mm PCC?

    I've got over 1,000 rounds through my FPC with zero issues. I've shot 6 steel challenge matches and a USPSA/IDPA style match. It just runs. Current setup is a Holosun 510c-gr, a vertical foregrip and a Tandemkross compensator. The compensator helps more than I thought it would, possibly...

    Senior Buying my First AR15 Dot Sight-Red or Green Dot?

    I pretty much think @12Bravo20 is dead on. Since dots bloom for people with astigmatism a smaller dot may work better. A friend wit astigmatism tells me that green works better for him and that the Chevron reticle in the Holosun 507c-gr ACSS works best. It has a fine lined triangle shaped...

    Does astigmatism mean it's irons or bust?

    Good discussion of red dots vs prism scopes: With red dots lower intensity and smaller dots sometimes help. A friend with astigmatism likes the Chevron reticle in the Holosun 507c-gr acss. He also prefers green to red.
