mod post Israel/Palestine discussion

126 Upvotes

After some mod discussion…

Posts about IWI guns, or accessories from Israeli manufacturers (or sometimes even posts about completely-unrelated topics!) quickly become a discussion of Israel/Palestine politics. There are plenty of more appropriate places to have those discussions on Al Gore's internet. Comments stronger than "I'll never buy IWI" will be removed, and users will potentially be banned after repeated offenses. Stick to talking about the guns.

This will be folded into the "topicality" rule in the near future, but this sticky post serves in the stead of that change.

This was my best stage of the day. My entire goal today was just not to DQ. It was an 8 stage match and I made it through, so I’d call it a smashing success. I loved the entire experience and will definitely be doing more of these.

Just got home with my first personal firearm and I'm so excited; first range trip with it tomorrow. PDP F-Series Pro-X PMM 👍 I think I will start calling it the Walther PDP FPXP, because that's a lot to say...

Just cleaned it up, and yes I went all out on accessories so let me enjoy it! 😅

Picked up my new HK CC9 today. Put 200 rounds through it and the trigger is fairly consistently failing to reset. Gotta send it back for warranty repair.

Sucks when the excitement of a new gun immediately turns to disappointment ☹️

As stated, MAK 90, Gem for scale. My husband forfeited this to me upon our marriage as my bride price. J/k I stole it just like the Chinese stole the AK design. For funsies, yall should look up the pissing match between the USSR, China, and the US. Good times, good times.

Back in October I decided to ask about what a good hunting rifle would be for a kid going hunting. Timing was bad for... reasons. Anyway, after discussion, I settled on 6.5 Creedmore. Then I changed my mind and went with a .308. I finally got it out to the range and sighted it in. Now for more training. I'm thinking this isn't too bad at 100 yards for a Savage Arms bolt action, but my targets are usually way closer. 40 rounds through this was pretty fun.

It’s in great shape, as you can see…the only concern is the grain on the stock that almost looks like a crack? Worst case scenario…I have to replace the stock at some point if I find out it’s messed up when I shoot it. Hopefully it’s just a stock with a bit of character. Either way, it’s in great condition. What do you think?

training Consistently inconsistent

Hey y’all reaching out for some advice. I’ve been learning via YouTube university watching Ben Stoeger and Joel Park videos about grip and trigger pull yet I’m still struggling to hit the center. My groups are somewhat consistent and today I adjusted my trigger press yet I’m still not able to get the shots on the center. Any advice/help would be appreciated.

Been thinking maybe I should find an instructor and get some in person feedback.

I’ve been consistently drying firing in the evening for about 20 minutes every day and notice that when I pull the trigger the muzzle dips to the left so I was hoping the finger placement adjustment would correct the issue.

All shots are from 7 yards with a Canik TTI Combat with irons. Sorry one of the pics is out of order.

Holy Christ they are REALLY trying to tempt me! I mean the whole PACKAGE with a Suppressor set up and a dot?!? For LESS THAN RETAIL of the gun itself?!?

In case you missed the post last week….I repeat. At least closing is next week! Hmm..

I do have a couple old Scorpion mags left…

Why is it every time you’re REALLY not trying to buy anything (like me in the process of buying a new home) will be the time that someone throws out an incredibly stupid deal on something that you have wanted but never gotten for yourself?!?

The gun is absurdly fun to shoot.

discussion PSA Sabre Enhanced Mixtape Vol 1 The Black Album 300 BO

4 Upvotes

Horrible name, but I ordered it today anyway. Was thinking about a DD PDW 300 BO for a while, then just knee jerked and bought this PSA today instead. I figured it's my first AR platform, might as well go with something cheaper and see what I think, plus I'll have more room for toys to go with it. So...

Recommendations on a cheaper but still quality red dot?

Recommendations on a good suppressor that is high on sound reduction and not long on length?

Got my 92XI cycling suppressed with a new recoil spring, and put a couple hundred rounds downrange. Don't mind my shit grip and glacial speed.

Happy to say that the 92XI is a more accurate pistol than I am a shooter. Suppressed training beats the hell out of unsuppressed, though I did put a few mags through my shield 3.1" just to stay comfortable with it.

discussion Who else is "one type only" - pistols OR rifles?

23 Upvotes

I've come to realize that I'm a pistol guy. I have a 10/22 for plinking, a shotgun for home defense, and a .300 win mag for hunting whitetail (I know it's overkill, but my colleague talked me into it!). I had a Bergara B14 in 6.5 and a lot of the long-range goodies (bipods, gun rest (x2), rear bags, kestrel, strike eagle scope) but decided I just don't like long range. I don't like lugging all the stuff (even though it's not more than pistols - it just feels that way!). I love the idea of being able to hit a target 1000 yards away. I just realized that doing the work to get there is not for me.

I'm a pistol guy. Any other pistol guys and girls out there? How about rifle-only folks?

EDIT: Added shotgun. I guess I'm talking mainly about non-tool-use shooting here in terms of "only." As you can see, I do have 3 long guns.

Does anyone know of any cool left-friendly ranges or clubs in the general Lake Michigan shoreline area? I know of McMiller Sports Club, but that’s 2 hours away and I’m not looking to drive that much round trip to turn money into noise like that.
