Pistol Red Dots made in America?
Magiccarpetrides replied to DaveTN's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Trijicon to the best of my knowledge is definitely made in the USA...just about any budget option is gonna be of Chinese or similar origin. -
My experience would be good enough for range use but I wouldn't rely on the electronics for shtf...but I would say that about most budget optics...including many I own.

"Fuel Filter"
Magiccarpetrides replied to ReeferMac's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
This is some false damn advertising I hooked this thing up to my car and all it did was sputter and die...back to Wix for me!!!! -
I like it! Let us know about the barrel that would be my only hesitation.

Not looking just going off memory I’d say mid length has been a thing since 2010

Ahh the cheap ol days of ammo when we still thought it was too much. I hope people buy plenty next time it drops again which will be sooner than people think...always is. Personally I don’t think WASRs are worth much more than you paid then. I remember what used to be said about them ...most of it is still true..you can’t polish a turd but you can cut the ends off and shape it lmao.

Suppressing 10.5” 5.56
Magiccarpetrides replied to maroonandwhite's topic in National Firearms Act (NFA) Regulated
Would running a super heavy buffer like an H3 or minimum H2 help to slow that down enough for reduced wear and tear...also better shoot-ability? -
It ain’t terrible but it ain’t winning any beauty pageants either lol

Touché

I had a 610...it was cool (the hot 10mm felt like catching a punch)...but honestly I find most revolvers a novelty anymore. I keep a 38 in a drawer here or there but 99% of the time im gonna shoot an auto...anyone that thinks revolvers are less complex hasn't taken one apart and while a revolver might never jam(unless its a crap brand) its never gonna have the capacity and weight advantage of the better auto pistols. All that being said I do find them interesting, sexy, collectible...but just a novelty with so much better range and carry choices on the market. While im flaming on stuff I hate the recoil impulse of a 40...the only 40 I still own is my FN Hipower and I usually prefer to shoot it with the 9mm barrel.

I wonder if that will make them more valuable

AR Braces. Here to stay?
Magiccarpetrides replied to maroonandwhite's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Well I hope we all learned after the bump fire debacle that Trump does whatever he feels like and the laws be damned. I love pistol “braces” but we all know what they are if Trump decides to crap on them one day I won’t be shocked I’ll just have to reconfigure as I always do. Still amazes me Trump took more away in 1 term then Obama ever did when it comes to firearms. -
It’ll come back around it always does. People just need to learn their damn lesson. Ammo has been so dirt cheap for so long...if you didn’t have ample supply don’t blame anyone for raising their prices man up and take the blame....kind of like people that complain about how little they get on social security but never saved a dime for retirement their working years.

STI Tactical 4.0 2011 - Limited gun
Magiccarpetrides replied to forty5cal1911's topic in Show and Tell
Man that is sick! Sometimes we just need to go over the top and you have definitely done that. Very cool and different. -
My PLR16 with the side folder weighs less! 4.9 vs 5.2lbs (This thing is admittedly prettier) i bet that deadblow tungsten weight for the bolt is part of the issue. PCC’s are fun for sure but most people would be better off with an AR.

Sig MPX Mod Help Please
Magiccarpetrides replied to Blitzen's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
I would definitely get a gunsmith to help...last time I tried to force something that shouldn't have been forced I ended up having to send my gun off to fix my screwup. -
Now that I've been playing lots of Modern Warfare I've realized all I need is Iron Sights...don't want anything slowing my "aim down the sight" time

2nd Harvest is always a good charity ...donating to your local shelter or zoo is also a good use of your donations. I know the zoos are getting hit really hard. The Knoxville Zoo cost about $22,000 a day to run and a lot of that money comes from daily visitors.

Welcome to the group from a fellow East Tennessean! I would suggest you use the 9mm for home defense until you have some time to practice with the shotgun. Also depending on the model I would look for some "low recoil" home defense ammo for it and start with that first depending on if its a 12 or 20 gauge model.

I actually think the Dissipator looks pretty cool!
-
CZ’s are great I have one too but they were a lot greater when they weren’t hipster and the prices were still low. For what most of them cost now I personally prefer other makes/models...I have a cz p10 compact...it’s very much Glock 19 like and it’s cajunized ...it’s fun at the range but for carrying I much prefer the very much lighter and still extremely shootable P365 I own or my tried and true to hell and back reliable HK USP 45 “compact”.

I’d recommend you reach out to xtriggerman on here he seems to be the resident firearm magician if he doesn’t know the right answer I’m sure he could figure it out quick. -
I don’t think it would put a dent at all in the PSA PS5 sales (if it ever sees the light of day) as blowback action is so inferior recoil wise to the delayed roller action that the PS5 promises. I’ve honestly never been too thrilled with any of these PCC’s that run normal blowback the recoil is usually more than an AR and you lose a ton of stopping power.

From what I researched long ago when I built my first 9mm AR you don’t gain anything velocity wise after about 9” (again it’s been awhile so I could be off) ...that’s where oddball ammo like that fbi contract +p+ shines...even though in a pistol it’s gains are negligible relative to the increase in pressure.
