Man. What a fun thread. I get a kick out of fan-boi-ing on brand x-y-z. (*skip to the end if you just want to read about the thread subject "Glockstore"). I've gone back and forth so damn much it's ridiculous. I've liked Glocks. I've pretty much sold them all except for the Gen4 19 that I sent to Agency Arms for a full workover. That will never go anywhere and I love shooting it all day long. While that is a pricey direction to go, their frame cut/stippling is amazing. Their Gen5 guns are probably the best up to the this point. I didn't like the finger grooves and most come with front slide serrations which has always been important to me. I've owned multiple HK's and don't currently have any. The thing I hate about HK is how much they won't/can't support US Civilian gun owners, mostly with their rifles. That and the ridiculousness of proprietary stuff IE the USP accessory rail (which to me if the USP had a normal rail, the USP would be KING). I actually want to get another non-manual safety P30L in 9mm at some point if I ever come across one again but that's been hard as anything to get. I will say that the VP9 is a good gun and the trigger is one of the best I've pulled out of the box. My other favorite thing about the HK pistols is the paddle magazine release. I love it. I will say that when I bought a VP9, they were shipped with 15-round magazines and flush-fit 17-round magazines weren't a thing the couple of years I owned one. I won't touch FN pistols. While FN makes AMAZING stuff, I had a FNX 45 Tac and during a 2-gun match I did a mag swap and the way their mag release works when I inserted the next mag it got jammed in the gun as the tab on the magazine jammed into the mag release mechanism. I had to tear the whole frame apart to get the mag out. After that, unless they change the magazine release design, I just won't. But that's just personal experience. That's just an example of one. Sig. Sig has a lot of problems. Their 22X series guns were always great. I hate how much I love the P320/M17 series of guns. It seems like the kinks have been worked out, but I hate that Sig pretty much releases stuff and uses the public for testing. And if you want one of their cool new designs like the MPX or the MCX, good luck finding one and then you'll be tempted to sell it for 2x what you bought it for on Gunbroker. I could go on forever. I've also owned Beretta, multiple 1911 and 2011 variants, M&Ps, etc. I've never owned any Taurus, Hi-Point, Springfield XD series, or Ruger center-fire pistols and I doubt I ever will. Years of competition and the most problems I've seen have been with Springfield XDs and Ruger Centerfires. If you're still reading, congratulations on making it this far. The Glockstore retail space is like any other gunshop in Nashville. Sometimes cheaper, sometimes on par, sometimes more expensive. But they do carry more than just Glocks. Their range space looks amazing but I have not used it yet. They have a 280-degree range or something like that? I hope to get out there at some point because it looks like it could be great.

I finally have a Sig P320 that I actually like.
Burnman5000 replied to TGO David's topic in Handguns
I really like that setup. I'm a big fan of the P320/M17. Love the modularity. I'm glad you found the Wilson because I thought the P80 grip module was atrocious . It was like holding a brick. But that's the beauty of the platform. You can set it up to how you like it. I think I need to get my hands on one of those RX slides. -
Good job with the cosmoline. That martha frackin stuff is the devil. Nice looking setup. If i can find you a box of rounds, Ill pick em up

Shield Arms S15 mags??
Burnman5000 replied to maroonandwhite's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
I'll agree with deerslayer. I moved from a G19 to a P365xl to the G48 MOS. I picked up a few of the Gen2 Shield Mags (and the mag release). I only put about 100 rounds through the G48 but I had no issues with the mags at all. -
I've definitely had those moments. I like to blame them on the concussions

Myself and one of my old NCO's both have civilian, no manual safety models of the M17. I am unaware of any real difference, other than coatings on the internals MAYBE, and while I've carried mine some with a loaded chamber and no issues, he has carried his for about 2 years now and it has not had any issues. The two incidents I know of have seemed to have involved holsters and depending on the holster, I would say it could definitely be the issue. The drop-safe issue, which has been corrected on newer models or through recall, was that it had to be hit with a very specific amount of force at a very specific angle on the back of the slide. That's just what I know. I also know that when it comes to military and to a lesser extent LE, they don't always get the best stuff. SERPA's are not a good holster and I've replaced holsters for LE friends. We were issued SERPA's on my 2nd and 3rd deployments but they are less of an issue with firearms with manual safeties.

It may be ugly but at least it's still a FAL

I had the "full rail" TRP at one time. Semi-regret getting rid of it, but it was one of the nicer 1911's I had owned.

I don't have a Glock 20 anymore, but I loved the pistol and the round. I think it is definitely the best option out there. I know that there is a lot of love in 10mm in the 1911 world but for some reason I feel like research lead me to the fact that the 1911 wouldn't handle the really hot loads of 10mm. I could be misremembering. Either way, definitely look at what ammo you are buying because a lot of the factory stuff on most shelves is loaded to about .40s&w levels.

So, I recently picked up one of Sig's new Cross rifles, shortly before the recall which mine has gone to them and come back already. I'm fairly new to the long range game (anything past 500m), but was wondering how everyone built up knowledge. Was it all from learning from others or was there source material out there that you guys used? I'm sure I'm over-simplifying but I'm just ready to learn. Thanks!
