    Sidearms & Scatterguns Beretta M9 - Why the hate?

    Re: Beretta M9 - Why the hate? True. I guess my point is it isn't the most durable safety system. If properly maintained it will work fine, unfortunately I've seen a lot of our guys using their sidearms well past that point where they should be sent in for replacement parts. I know those M9's...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Beretta M9 - Why the hate?

    Re: Beretta M9 - Why the hate? The link provided to the other thread pretty well explains everything, but I'll input my own experience. As mentioned, the M9 trigger is sloppy and has a hard pull (especially on DA) which I was never a big fan of. You can get used to it, but it is not my...

    Rifle Scopes Best compromise scope - ideas?

    Re: Best compromise scope - ideas? Have you thought of a Zeiss Diavari 4-16x50? It fulfills all your requirements except it doesn't have much in the way of reticle choices. You would probably be stuck with another mildot if you went that route, but the glass is exceptional and it's quite a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Replacement Barrels?

    Re: Glock Replacement Barrels? Very true. I never really understood the use of completely unjacketed bullets, but that's a separate issue entirely. It does seem like HK handles lead better than glocks however... Haha I'm just screwing with you, I'll go back to drinking my HK coolaid now.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Replacement Barrels?

    Re: Glock Replacement Barrels? I don't think he is commenting on glock accuracy, he is talking about the danger of lead ammo. There has been plenty of cases of exploding glocks due to the use of lead ammo, to ignore it or tell everyone that glocks can shoot lead ammo just fine because yours...

    CT assault weapon laws?

    Re: CT assault weapon laws? Actually Benning will likely be the first stop on my travels. So Georgia is probably in my near future

    CT assault weapon laws?

    Re: CT assault weapon laws? Well I don't plan on staying here much longer. In fact pretty soon I'll be going wherever the army sends me. Maybe one day I can retire out West, it has always been kind of a dream of mine.

    CT assault weapon laws?

    Re: CT assault weapon laws? Yeah that was kind of what I suspected, thanks for the responses. I think I may try to get AAC 51T brake since noveske stocks it and see if they can pin it for me while they are at it, since I know they normally pin their flash suppressors. Does CT require a...

    CT assault weapon laws?

    As some of you may have seen from my other post, I am looking into getting a noveske ar15 and I am trying to make sure to abide by the laws of my state (CT). I have two major questions. Is the flash hider pinned to the barrel no longer a "flash suppressor" by CT law and therefore legal? Also...

    Noveske N4 16" 5.56mm Light Recce Basic Rifle

    Re: Noveske N4 16" 5.56mm Light Recce Basic Rifle I'd like to keep it to $1500 or less, as this is my first AR. I figured with the basic rifle I could get a very accurate and reliable package that I could upgrade in the future if I so choose. I also like the idea of the durability and...

    Noveske N4 16" 5.56mm Light Recce Basic Rifle

    Re: Noveske N4 16" 5.56mm Light Recce Basic Rifle Just to clarify, when I say basic I'm just referring to no bells and whistles. I figured Noveske was a quality choice, and wanted to hear if there was any reason to choose differently. Thanks for the quick response chalwie. I'm looking to have...

    Noveske N4 16" 5.56mm Light Recce Basic Rifle

    So I'm thinking about finally scratching the AR itch, and I'd like to start out with a good basic rifle that I can possibly upgrade in the future. I've been looking at the Noveske basic rifle and it looks like a decent package that won't break the bank. Do you guys think this is a good starting...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns USP 45 full size holster ideas

    Re: USP 45 full size holster ideas Just curious, how is kydex on the slide? Because I know that leather tends to scratch up the slide after repeated draws, and I read from another site someone got a holster with suede lining that prevented that.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns USP 45 full size holster ideas

    Re: USP 45 full size holster ideas Thanks for the suggestions guys. I never heard of those kydex holsters, I'll have to take a look. I was looking at safariland holsters, but it didn't look like they had any that would conceal very well. I'm with you jellostorm, there was a lot of people...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns USP 45 full size holster ideas

    I bought a USP 45 full size about a week ago, and I gotta say that I love the thing. I never really understood the haters for saying the ergonomics on it are awful, since it feels great in my hands, but I guess everyone is different. Anyway, I was wondering for you guys out there running the...
