I kinda ordered a 22/45 lite just now. Lol

I am lucky with my private club, about the only thing they don't want you doing is shooting the explosive target stuff.

I want to get a 308 suppressor next.

I shot my first LCP this past weekend, think I will end up with one for my pocket.

I can't shoot those things! Correction, I CAN shoot those things rather well but, my natural finger position doesn't land properly and I have to consciously place my finger where it belongs to be able to shoot one. If I don't, my finger comes around and contacts my palm before the sear breaks. In a critical situation I couldn't rely on myself to do that instinctively. Great guns and very accurate for what they are but, just not for me sadly.

Got an LCP with viridian green laser/holster and an extra mag + 50 hollow points for $270 over the weekend.

Still need to build me an AR, seems like if I put it in his thread it happens eventually.

Has anyone laid hands on a Taurus Curve yet? One of the members on my Taurus forum went to the press release and got to run 200 rounds through it and gave it really good reviews!

Being a bit obsessive compulsive , I kept noticing that I had AR pistols in 2 of my 3 favorite calibers so here is the solution.

I have a particular weakness for 7.62x39 ARs. So this makes 3rd AR in 7.62x39 (two YHM Carbines) and My 3rd AR Pistol. (an 11.5 in 5.56 and a 8 inch in .300 Blk) So early last week I was looking for a 8 inch 7.62x39 barrel , When I stumbled across Alpha Shooting Sports, where they had a complete with BCG 8 inch Upper with their 9 inch Rail and their flash can. (both appear to be an "Homage" Noveske) on sale for $479 It looked good on the web , but everything can be made to look good on a computer screen. So I did some reading , and the company appeared to review well and on Friday afternoon after the eagle flew I ordered the Upper. With shipping from CA to NH in came to $501 door to door.
I placed the Order in the afternoon of Friday October 24th and it Arrived on the Morning of Wednesday October 29th. ( Not naming names I hope that some of the other companies I deal with take note!) I was VERY pleasantly surprised when I un-boxed it. The fit and Finish is VERY good on Par with my rifles from YHM and S&W (it is so nice in fact that I feel a little guilty about putting it on the budget lower I built for it.) No tool marks everything aligns properly and frankly I love this forearm. Now as far as reviewing goes I have to stop here because as i write it is Thursday October 30th and I wont be able to shoot it and will post up when I do. However Product quality to date has me thinking that If I am looking for a rail or an upper I one of the first places I am going to look is Alpha Shooting Sports.
The other pleasant surprise was the SBX Brace. You see I live in the Southwest Corner of NH and I have a buddy who trains over at the Sig academy so when he is headed over I ask him to stop into the pro shop. I asked him to grab me a brace and instead of the SB15 he brought back the SBX My two other Pistols have the SB15 and when I first saw the SBX I worried that it wouldn't be sturdy enough. I was wrong it is very sturdy and noticeably lighter as well. They have also Capped the end so that it can not travel forward on the tube.
As you can see it lend a different look to the overall build as well. Also at the moment it is wearing my test Mule of a SIght a first Gen Vortex Sparc , and I have a hunch that may change soon. but I am excited to get this out and make it go boom!

Planning on trading for a SIG 556r swat.

Rangerscott · 11-28-2014, 09:48 AM

Got the sig 556r gen 2. Thing kicks pretty hard. Surprised me it did that seeing how little my vz58 kicks.

Took my older sister shopping on Sunday. She had no idea what she wanted since we were not exposed to handguns much, just shotguns and rifles. In the case, she looked at single stack but after shooting and more shooting she ended up with a Glock 19 Gen 3. She brought it on Thanksgiving so I could show her how to field strip and clean it, per her request. Now both of my older sisters have guns...finally! I enjoyed taking each of them shopping - who wouldn't love gun shopping and "spending" someone else's money.
