I agree that it's appication driven. The accuracy differerence is insignificant in most applications (like using ret dot optics). Personally, my main reason for going with chrome was ease of cleaning, especially since I started shooting Wolf. Even if I do shoot out a barrel, the life isn't a huge deal to ME. Barrels are a small fraction of the ammo cost to wear one out. Now... I DO keep my rifles pretty clean, and unlike shooting, I consider it a chore. To each his own, but to me, the less scrubbing, the better.

I thought you were takling about the original corrosion problems in Viet Nam. I shoot Berdan primers, but they're non corrosive. Besides that, my barrels are chrome lined.

Us fools just don't understand.

Yep! Still have only seen one in my neighborhood. They're making soup or something.

The stock sucks. It's only free float as long as you don't hold it by the forend.

Great looking pistol! Don't shoot your pinky off with it. It can happen to the most experienced folks

That was corrosive ammo mixed with some jungle spooge.

I saw one at my house. They're not near as thick this time

You really know better, though. Right? Ruger's gonna bust out some new variants on that 1911, and it will be all over

The golden goose in his family is no longer with us, but there are others. Do you guys sell plastic pinkies?

He's never gonna put an optic on it (and you're not gonna buy another gun until next year ). You never know when things might change. One thing I learned the hard way... until you're sure you won't ever run an Eotech, a flip up is probably a good idea.

Apparently not. There were some good deals rolling through here a few months ago. I missed the real estate boom too

I bought one without the first time around. Ain't worth the savings to me. My accurate AR has a stainless barrel.

Not so sure the barrel life doesn't cover it, and then some. Not having to scrub your rifle is a freebie. I paid 35 bucks extra per barrel. How cheap does it need to be?

There are a number of good reasons to reload, and none of them make you look like a psycho. We complain constantly about the press just making stuff up when it comes to guns. But, when they try to publish factual info, most gun folks go full paranoid. I've contributed to two gun articles in the last year, one in the New York Times, and one with Brian in the Tennessean. Neither reporter tried to "get" me. They were looking for facts from a gun owner's perspective. This is an opportunity to get the real facts in print. If I was a reloader, I wouldn't hesitate.

This is it for me too. Easier cleaning and longer life, for a little more money up front. I recently started shooting some Wolf ammo, so chrome was even more important to me.

You think the ATF uses newspapers for that? Wouldn't it make more sense to hang out at the Reloader's Bench and write down tag numbers? Maybe the article will just say, "them boys sure had some shiney hats".

Didn't offend me at all. I would feel a little sorry for the guy if he hadn't written that BS email.

I'm fighting the urge...

Nope. M&P isn't multiple strike. It has to be cocked.

Ah... so you're really a black woman on welfare. Nice disguise

I'll be at the finish line with some bottled water for you

Does it have the typical plunger type striker block like a Glock?
