I realized after my post this was the Handgun section and I was casting a wider net of wants, although I managed to color inside the lines with the Ruger revolver and Glock comments.
Another one comes to mind that's handgun related and putting a potential purchase on hold. It would be nice if...
I'd just like to see several manufacturers produce their own catalog, either at all or in greater quantity to satisfy market demands, looking mostly at Ruger/Marlin on that last point.
Offenders of interest to me: Pretty much everything from LMT, Surefire muzzle devices (thanks for finally...
I agree with the on-body carry arguments. But the concern I wanted to raise is be careful with any in-vehicle holster mounting within reach of the driver's seat. Modern vehicle often have additional airbags all over the place; in the window frames, the outboard edge of the seat back cushion...
My suggestion, giving the same advice I've followed myself is the Ruger American Rimfire; Model 8306 is a good example with the shorter stock that I prefer despite being taller than the US average, and a threaded barrel if you get really serious about quiet racoon removal with a suppressor...
Basset's link shows how grossly overpriced that Mossberg Retro model is. You'd do better (cost-wise) to get that model and an old used Mossberg wood stock set and sand down the usually cheap original finish and apply boiled linseed oil (as with Garand stocks) for a little bit duller military...
Extremely helpful feedback on the issues from holster experience. I've long been on the fence over one of these holsters given how special purpose it is and my infrequent use, but thought it would be a faster draw than the current Hill People Gear chest pouch discussed in other threads.
At...
A lot of serious gunowners and many more casual gunowners bought more than usual starting around March of 2020 when COVID created a lot of certainty and mobs and riots added more justified concern.
This pulled demand out of the "Trump slump" when there was less rush to buy things that people...
The correct answers (I acknowledge it's really up to personal interests, tastes and opinion) if you have two uppers are, the already mentioned military configuration M16A2 upper, and an early M4 config fixed A2 carry handle.
I'm looking to do the same by changing barrels on my first AR upper...
Since I see this post is unmolested by the moderators, I assume it was ok to post given the Industry Partner status. Hopefully it is also ok for me to chime in on Venture Surplus with my experience, given their recent join date and low post count:
I've ordered dozens of items from Venture...
Regarding energy retained after impact with steel, many years ago some visiting yahoos were apparently shooting at an old lawn mower exactly 3/4 mile west of my house, based on statements when I went down later to investigate with the renter at that house who was appropriately concerned about my...
I just recently posted into another thread about the Colt pattern 9mm AR recoil assembly setup. My Colt 9mm buffer, purchased maybe 8 years ago, is like that shown in the article "The Original 9mm AR Deadblow Buffer" at marvin02's link. I'm unhappy to read in that article Colt has cheaped out...
Despite being made in China (as most other brands' inexpensive optics are), Holosun has a pretty solid reputation.
Aaron Cowman of Sage Dynamics has done fairly detailed evaluations of numerous Holosun models on youtube including his drop testing onto hard surfaces.
It might be useful for LaRue to add a specific warning to their product description as you suggest, just to avoid people ordering the wrong part. I emphasis wrong part; I'm not trying to be harshly critical, just stating objectively, this is a matter of ordering the wrong part for the...
jsx1043 is correct that "It’s a much older TT carrier, probably circa 2000-2005." Very early MOLLE era stuff when the associated explosion of nylon MOLLE-based gear options from multiple makers took off.
It was intended as a carrier for soft armor panels from concealable body armor. I had one...
Re popcorn, very civil discussion all around which I appreciate. It's like we aren't even on the Internet.
ditcherman, as Trapper Jim expanded on, my first concern is that the holster itself is not demanding that you use two hands, or you are forced to do so regardless of what clothing options...
+1 Trapper Jim's comment as an intro to several critical comments... "If you need two hands to present or reholster you should rethink your equipment and training management." There are a few deep concealment options I use for special case situations where two handed reholstering is...
Simple freestanding wall will be largely useless; and what sound energy it does redirect will be reflected right back at your shooters. And as soon as it overtops the wall it will go back to radiating outward to where well before 100 feet away the remaining wave will cover from ground level to...
Piling on with Basher, 6.5 CM nicely optimizes a lot of trade-offs including .308 magazine compatibility and ability to function in some semi-autos like the (excellent but grossly overpriced) LMT MWS with just a barrel swap.
It has a solid foothold now and I expect it is going to be around a...
Short version: Goldenrods are not adequate protection in basements with high or highly variable humidity levels.
I've been aware of them for decades and I'm not saying they are not useful, but the descriptions I just searched up for Goldenrods are not really functionally accurate descriptions...
I have one installed using the heavier spring, which I think is ideal for a defensive or general purpose AR. It displaced the first Geissele SSA-E that I tried, which is going to get moved into a lower intended for dedicated long distance shooting as it was lighter than I preferred. I'm not any...
