My stamps are approved muddafuxxasss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sbr and can. Whooot

Just a heads up, cabelas has a special shipping code 3HOLIDAY, anything $99 and up ammo included ships for $5.

They've also had some nice pricing on 38spl and 357mag rounds lately, good quality 357mag factory loads for $22.99 a box of 50. I got 500 Herter's Select (basically Sellier and Bellot) FMJ and 250 of the PMC JSP both 158gr. These prices are much better than what I've been seeing lately.

Just got my new sight and bipod installed. Ready for the range on Saturday :)

well gents, its my 21st birthday coming up and I'm looking to purchase my first hand gun! will probably get a c&c permit. what are the "more popular" weapons to carry

You can't go wrong with a Glock 19.

Get something that fits in your hand, IMO that's the most important thing. Don't let someone talk you out if a gun you like. It's yours, you are gonna carry and shoot the gun. If you have never fired a gun before I'd say stick with a smaller round .380 auto or a 9mm. Learning to shoot on a .45 is a little rough, but it's doable. Did you want a full size or a compact? What's your budget if you don't mind me asking?

I suggest trying a few different rentals and seeing what you feel best with. Some triggers will feel weird to you. Some grips may be too big or too small or angled a way you don't like. Too many variables for anyone to just say "get this"

Wow. Great question. I just finished going through this whole song and dance for a year lol. Best advice? Go with what feels right (you'll know it when you find it)

I started with an s&w 40ve, then went to a glock 23, then a glock 19, then a 22 (all 40 cals). My issue was concealment. I'm not a big guy, so carrying something like a 23, you could see it easily. Plus I prefer to wear outside of the belt as opposed to inside (personal preference, I hate the inside feel) so I finally came across a tarus 85vl. Nice .38 special and inexpensive as well. I walked out the door with that two 20 rd boxes of jhp and about 100 rnds for my m4 for less than $300. But point is I knew that was my cc weapon the minute I picked it up. So go with your gut man.

Good luck :)

A good holster and proper belt matter so much more than saving a quarter inch off the gun. I carry my G19 with a Raven Concealment OWB holster and a riggers belt and even with my 32" waist I can conceal it just fine. I have a G26 and a Galco IWB tuckable holster for other duties.

FYI, you shouldn't really care about "printing" as its not illegal.

thanks for the help guys, budget is 500$ish maybe more. i have a friend with more guns than the local police station, perhaps i can talk him into going down to the range, I've actually never shot a hand gun before, only hunting rifles.

Got it all together this past weekend, going to sight it in this Saturday coming up. Here is a picture of it unsuppressed. I'm very happy with the trijicon accupoint scope.

If you want to shoot my Smith and Wesson m&p .40 I'll go to the range with ya and let you use it. You have a lot of options at the 500-600 dollar range new or used. If you have any questions just ask, there are a lot if guys on here that know a lot about guns!

Joey, just get a sig and be done with it! I carry a P220 which is chambered in .45 and absolutely love it, but there are a lot of different configurations to choose from in every caliber imaginable.

i love my steyr s40-a1. i carry it everyday

I prefer the smooth lines and snag-free profile of my glocks. Plus with some little Flitz work and swapping around of trigger connectors, the triggers have improved vastly, still all while using all factory glock parts. I've become very used to the grip angle and aligning the sights right after drawing so it makes a good platform for me.

If you spend a year or two shooting and carrying any other gun like I did with my glocks, you'll be just as comfortable.

I've been carrying a glock for the past 2 years, daily. They may be ugly, but it works. The m&p pistols are pretty good too, but i can't see dumping my glocks for one. Although I've been eying up a shield

I think I'm getting my girlfriend a shield in 9mm for Christmas this year. I just have to rent one and shoot it to make sure I like it. But the reviews on it have nothing but good things to say.

Wish I would have known some of you guys were interested in the shield. A place I know had them on sale for 365 shipped for either 9mm or 40cal this past week. Went up too 400 now.

Shields are great carry weapons. Reliable, dependable, easy to use, leos love them, even off duty which speaks volumes.

I probably would have picked that up, I've been looking around for a day or two now and people want 450+ for used ones, which is what they go for new. Kinda crazy!

my stamps are in at Colonial (In VA).....have been in for prolly a week.....lol. I'm gonna get them Form 3's to Targetmaster in PA since I moved so I can get this sexy 10.5" suppressed AR up and running :).

Is it normal to want to do more? haha. if I can restrict myself to just uppers I think I will be ok for awhile....although we just found an SLR-106UR in the back we overlooked......damn damn damn, here we go again!!! LOL.

Couldn't of ask for a better day to go shooting this past Saturday

Well they raised the price to 399.00, Here's a link to them for a 9mm model
http://palmettostatearmory.com/index...eldtm-9mm.html

I think I'm set for a while. I also have downstairs 4 tins of 7.62x54r and about 700 rounds of 7.62x39

Sale is back on, best deal I have seen on these 359.99
http://palmettostatearmory.com/index...eldtm-9mm.html

I've had great experience ordering from them too.

Me too, They have some good daily deals as well.

With colder weather coming, Ive been looking into OWB holsters to carry my M&P, with that being said, i really like the Blackhawk! Serpa, but i am seeing mixed reviews about it online, along with ND stories blaming the holsters retention system. Anyone here with hands on experience? Love, Hate what ever

My owb is a raven concealment. Paddles just don't work for my bony hips and ass

plenty more quality holsters instead of the blackhawk. If you're looking for something with retention take a look at the safariland concealment holsters.

I've been rocking a KT mech holster, it was cheap and it works.

The ND stories are from inadequate or improper training. On the draw people get lazy with their trigger finger and let it slip inside the trigger guard and then pull the trigger as they come up on target (or before). I like Safariland holsters much better than Serpas but with the proper training and practice the Serpa is as safe as any other holster. Like schaffer said though there are plenty of other options.

Raven are great holsters that place the gun tight to the body which makes it carry more like an IWB, unlike the Serpa which makes the gun fee like a brick flopping around on your belt. However, with Raven you pay a bit more because of the name than other kydex holster designers. Atomic Dog is a PA based company who make just about the the same design as Raven with the same level of quality.

If you're considering the Serpa make sure you try out some Safariland OWB holsters as well. I can't remember the model that I had for my M&P9 Pro but it was basically a thumb-release version of the Serpa that held the gun more securely without the flopping around on the belt and feeling like a brick. It carries the gun tighter without being IWB-tight like the way the Raven or Atomic Dog are. After trying many it's the only active retention holster I'll ever buy again.

Don't forget a good belt. Amazon has uncle mikes riggers belts for about $30

okay guys, my 21st has passed and I'm seriously considering the smith and wesson J frame revolvers in .38 special. affordable, reliable, easily concealed/carried. Is there anything else i should look into? I'm really only interested in revolvers (always sort of liked "retro" items) I know they can be a handful to learn on, but i don't see myself as guy owning multiple guns. Anyone here have one? Open minded to any advice you guys have since i do not come from a "gun" family

Finally bought one!!

Can't go wrong with s&w! I'd get one in 357 though, that way you can shoot 38 all you want but have the option to throw 357 in if you ever want to. If you're set on 38 only, and plan on harrying it I'd look at the 642. It's got a bobbed hammer (meaning it's double action only, no exposed hammer to cock for single action.... Also means one less pointy thing to get caught on clothes, etc. if you have to draw it. Plus it can be had for under $400 which is nice)

If you're open to suggestions, my favorite smith revolver I've ever owned was a 65 K frame with work done to it (barrel shortened and crowned, trigger job, action job, etc). A model 60 may be a good "middle of the road" between a 38 j frame and something like a 357 K frame; the 60 shoots both 357 and 38, no bobbed hammer (so can be fired single action [more fun for challenging target shooting], and is still small with a 2.x"-5" barrel.

Some people have an issue with s&w because of an agreement they made with the Clinton administration in 2000, if you're hardcore (which I know you are), ruger and some of the Taurus revolvers are decent. Whatever smith you decide on get a "pre-lock" gun. It was a stupid "safety" feature incorporated in 2000 or 2001 that added a little keyhole to the action and SUCKS, plus there's been stories of the lock engaging while firing... Never happened to me but I can imagine if I were using the gun to decent myself and it locked on me I'd be pissed/screwed

we'll talk friday. sounds like you know better places to buy than i! edit. removing the lock does not seem difficult? not sure on legality though

+1 on going with Safariland > Blackhawk. I had a Blackhawk Serpa that I couldn't give away. I hated how the gun rode in it & the retention system was a joke. Safariland held the gun much tighter to the body & also kept it from flopping around which I think someone already said here as well. You can also look into custom made rigs from Atomic Dog, Armordillo Concealment & Raven. I have one from both Atomic Dog & Armordillo Concealment and I can't complain about either. Both were roughly the same cost as a Safariland/Blackhawk and were made to my specific needs/wants.
