Didnt know the .40 magazines would work well enough. I'll give them a shot on Sunday along with either a rubber slip on grip or some skateboard grip tape strips and see how it goes. Getting 9mm magazines tomorrow (can only get 10 rounders in MD...) just in case

Neither have I but thought I'd throw it out. If you look around, you can find LE trade in mags for around $12 each.

I'll be heading to a gun show today. Hoping to find some magazines for my Springfield XD and my Ruger M30 on the cheap. The mags for the Springfield 9mm are around $40 each, which is pricey. The Ruger 20 round 7.62x39 are around $35 each. Hoping to spot some for around half the price. Too bad no one makes a nice reliable 30 round mag for the M30.

Ammunition cost was the deciding factor for my next firearm purchase.

I was dead set on getting a 1911 as my first pistol after seeing the photos here and seeing all the praise they garner everywhere. I will own one eventually.

But, I realized that for a first pistol; one that I plan to put a lot of rounds through in order to develop skill and technique; that it probably isn't the best choice. Expensive ammunition and much higher price tags for a good 1911.

As such I decided that I'm going to buy the stainless Beretta m92 FS. Affordable, reliable, accurate, and cheaper 9mm ammunition. I know that this gun seems to get a lot of hate.... But, it feels like the right choice.

I get about 10 rounds before they start flying out of the magazine. Here in CommiFornia you're only allowed 10 or they are afraid you'll put your eye out or go on a shooting rampage. :yikes:

I personally love the Beretta M9A1. Can't wait to fondle the new M9A3.

Haha I'll give the magazines a shot then and see if they start popping rounds out after 10

I don't know if gun shops around here still offer police magazines from traded in guns because of the 10 round limit here as well. Definitely going to check with one shop though that I know used to do that

Too bad it'll be another month or two before I get a chance to fire it.

Mounted a little gun safe in my nightstand. Good piece of mind.

I'd totally pick up an M9A3 if they weren't still going for $1000.

I just picked up a Beretta PX4 this weekend and ran a couple hundred rounds through it. Nice all around hand gun.

My first pistol was the Beretta M9 for that exact reason. I like it, reliable, cheap to shoot, and something good to practice with.

Nice INOX.

AR-15 Scope
 

I picked up an AR-15 last week, the reason being I want the Binary Trigger Group from Franklin Armory. So I'm waiting for the trigger group should be here in a couple weeks (getting it from my local gun shop) I'm looking for a decent scope for it, some where around $200-$250 any suggestion.

Thanks, Jim

Nice! I need to grab some sights for my AR, but with the car stuff and house stuff going on, I put my AR build on hold a bit which was to build me an entire new upper with .300 conversion and suppressor + either eotech or aimpoint. I have magpul mbus collapsible iron sights. Not the greatest... But I can still make it work, movement and shooting being being precise is the pain part...


A question for yall.. I am thinking about grabbing a Vector in the future. So I started doing some research on it both tech specs and reality testing. So far, it is ALL positive but the ultimate test is me shooting one which we shall see when that'll happen... Anyone have any experience with the firearm? After owning firearms, I became a FIRM believer in actually testing a firearm before buying it.
