Ah, cool. Thanks for the correction. It was a little silly to say you could use a 5.5" 357 but not a 4" 454.

yeah, all the old restrictions were really stupid. amazing how many folks still don't realize that there aren't any caliber restrictions on rifles either.

I've shot the S&W 686 in 4 inch and 6 inch. Sight acquisition is was excellent on both. I'd like to shoot the GP100 before I make a decision, but there's a six inch S&W for a pretty decent price on armslist that I may jump on.

I never considered purchasing a revolver. I thought they were dated. 15 minutes at the range and I ate my words.

2/18/2012 8:13:48 AM

JK how much are you looking to get for the LCR?

I'm in Charlotte but going to see about shooting one at my range next week

Bought another GLOCK today, a 24C.

OK I have a dilemma..Last month I put a new slide on my Rock Island 1911, Love the slide I put on it has the tactical sites, front and rear cocking serrations, and it was blank sided so I had it laster etched custom.

But it left me with a stock Rock island GI slide, so this weekend I sanded the rollmark off the slide and polished the rest of the slide out so there is no parkerization left on it.
What should I do with it? I tossed around the idea of buying a de-milled slide and hacking it up and welding one inch on the front of my slide to build a custom 6 inch long slide, or just having it cerakoted in a contrasting color so I could swap them out.

Right now it is just sitting bare and oiled so it does not rust.

^ 1911 posts. Lawl.

2/19/2012 11:18:45 AM

^^ you should have left it alone.

2/19/2012 3:32:03 PM

^^ in the future that comment is going to come off pretty assholish

2/19/2012 3:51:47 PM

Why leave it alone? it is a RIA GI slide. the worst I could have done was mess it up...i think a new stock one is like $135?

it is not like I did anything other than remove the big billboard that said "Rock Island Armory!"
my new slide on the gun is currently custom laser etched, so that is not a problem

right ow I am considering buying a frame and building another gun.

2/19/2012 5:00:12 PM

trying out a family members mid-late 80s seecamp in 32 acp.

neat little gun! definitely recommend researching them if unfamiliar-

2/19/2012 5:35:03 PM

Finally got my G27 sold today; going to be a long wait for my new toy.

2/19/2012 8:17:31 PM

so is the Mossberg 500 like the standard home protection shotgun?

2/20/2012 11:28:36 AM

i'm not sure there is a standard home protection shotgun

2/20/2012 11:41:22 AM

i suppose i should rephrase. is it one of the more popular choices?

2/20/2012 11:43:14 AM

^^^^^

Building another one us a no-brainer to me

2/20/2012 11:45:45 AM

Mossberg 500 or Remington 870

2/20/2012 12:14:51 PM

i have an 870. It's in a safe, hasn't been used in years. it's fully rifled, always planned to replace the barrel with a choke system barrel and use it again. But my Benelli SBE has all but replaced it. maybe i should take it out

2/20/2012 1:33:12 PM

I bought a Mossberg 500 in college after my house got broken into. I didn't fire it often, but it seemed to work for me.

Also, how retarded is the new Mossberg 500 chainsaw?

2/20/2012 2:02:04 PM

just another novelty gun

[Edited on February 20, 2012 at 2:32 PM. Reason : i like the slide release location on mossbergs much better than on remingtons]

2/20/2012 2:36:00 PM

also keep in mind that grip was designed for door breaching

2/20/2012 3:15:54 PM

marketing genius for mossberg-

rednecks eat that shit up.

2/20/2012 3:35:00 PM

not just rednecks

2/20/2012 4:43:05 PM

looks like something straight out of a zombie movie

2/20/2012 4:46:55 PM

The new G24C. Just feel like sharing.

2/20/2012 6:02:07 PM

man, that thing's ugly

2/20/2012 7:12:04 PM

^Yeah, that shotgun sure is....

2/20/2012 8:43:57 PM

your glock isn't quite as ugly as that retarded mossberg

not quite

2/20/2012 10:08:01 PM

so i think i have my ruger #1 and saiga 223 projects done now-

will zero scopes this weekend and post pictures

also this little 32acp seecamp is badass!

2/22/2012 8:05:01 AM

I'd love to shoot a g24c

2/22/2012 8:52:21 AM

^where are you located?
I've got two now.

2/22/2012 9:03:58 AM

raleigh...but I'd also love to shoot my own guns. I'll keep you in mind when I can start finding some time for range days

2/22/2012 9:11:54 AM

Another of the rifle.
Picked up an Eotech XPS2-2 for it.

2/22/2012 5:43:56 PM

I might get divorced for dropping that kind of coin on a rifle like that. I sure do want one though.

2/22/2012 6:37:17 PM

I sold my 350hp VW GTI last Friday. Finishing the rifle, and buying the Glock were from that income.
Normally I wouldn't be able to spend like I have been.

2/22/2012 6:47:05 PM

^where do you shoot most of your gun in Charlotte? Do you have access to land or are you taking those things to the range?

2/23/2012 2:20:03 PM

I shoot at Point Blank Range in Moorsville about every other month. They allow rifle even if it is only 25 yards.
I shoot there because I drive through Moorsville on my way to work every day (in Statesville).
When I shoot, it is between 300 and 700 rounds.

I also do a 2-day rifle or pistol class every three months or so.

I hate going to Firepower in Matthews, and haven't been in two years.

2/23/2012 3:41:00 PM

a range was finally built at Eagle Guns in Concord, just a few miles from my office. going there tomorrow to put some rounds through my Kahr P9.

2/23/2012 3:46:11 PM

you guys should check out 'the range at lake norman.'

2/23/2012 4:45:27 PM

"The Range at Lake Norman" only allows TMJ ammo on their clean side, and will sell you it for an inflated cost. Their 'tactical' side is $25 an hour.
No thanks.

2/23/2012 5:59:41 PM

what do they do, pull bullets to make sure the bases are jacketed too?

2/23/2012 6:12:16 PM

really? i dont have a membership and pay like $13 an hour.

plus i dont have any guns in any of the calibers they have ammo for. ive seen them make people buy that 'GAS' ammo though-

as long as it isnt magnetic they let me shoot whatever i bring. maybe you need to flirt with the old chicks that work there more?

[Edited on February 23, 2012 at 8:31 PM. Reason : -]

2/23/2012 8:30:48 PM

I've never been there in person. The info I have is based on their website.
$13/hr is the clean side, $25/hr is the tactical side.
Clean side is TMJ only according to their website.

2/23/2012 9:08:20 PM

maybe when i went there they were just still noobs?

i wont be going back if what you say is indeed true-

ive never been on their website...

2/23/2012 9:35:17 PM

holy fuck $13/hr is still ridiculous. why would anyone pay that?

2/23/2012 10:12:21 PM

Still don't have my concealed carry permit yet.

2/23/2012 10:12:56 PM

Where is the best place to shop for a holster in Raleigh? Going up there to pick up my new gun in few weeks and will need something to carry it home in until I can get one made.
