Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?
Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? [Reply]

And I like the look of the accessories. This might turn into an expensive hobby, huh?
Change out that light for a Streamlight and you will begin to understand the cost of those accessories. :-)
Don't know about that "Goldfinger" barrel.....but what the hey, right? :-) [Reply]

Any higher capacity glock 9mm mags fit in a 19. I use 17rd mags and have a couple 33rds just because I can. Don’t believe what everyone is saying about glocks being boring and basic. There are tons of parts and accessories to murder it out with. The aftermarket is huge for g19.
When I see pictures of tricked out Glocks, I'm kind of torn between thinking they're awesome but also thinking they're ridiculous. Sort of like somebody who spends massive amounts of money turning a regular car into a high performance sports car when they could have just got a high performance sports car.
They are pretty, though. But I got past the point where pretty matters to me a long time ago. [Reply]

Cheaper to ship into glock and they will install night sights quite cheap. Just take the slide off, I strip all the internals and they will replace those as well for no charge, and then ship back.
Cost me about 50-70 each time I think and I have shipped them atleast 5-6 now. Everytime I get a used glock without them, I ship it in because it’s cheaper than doing yourself and the parts they replace for free, can either come in handy or be sold for the price of the sights. [Reply]

Ehh I bought fiber sights on amazon for 35 bucks and swapped myself. I like the idea of getting slide parts for free though. That’s nice for building poly80.
I really didn't see myself buying either a Walther nor a 9mm, but I tried the PPQ and PPX I was sold.
I've always like Walther. However, I found another maker (Bersa) that I swear, rivals Walther. Shoots EXACTLY like the PPK....Sure, it's not a Walther, but the difference in price makes it more than a good idea.... [Reply]
