thanks! I appreciate you sharing
its a nice looking little piece
droooooooool. that is all
I had a shield, it was alright, it just didn't quite do it for me, so I sold it, and bought my Kahr CM9
I picked up an FNS 9c a couple of months ago (without a manual safety). So far, I really like this gun. It seems to fit my hand like a glove. It comes with two 12-round magazines and one 17-rounder. One of the 12-rounders has a pinky extension, and that is the one that is most comfortable for me. The other 12-rounder has a flat base plate, and that one either leaves my pinky hanging off in space, or resting underneath the base. One of the things I really like about this pistol is the overly large front sight dot. It is larger than those on any other handgun I have owned, and it makes it fast and easy to pick up when bringing the gun to eye level.
The only negative (for me) is the ambidextrous magazine release. I am right-handed and my inclination is to use my thumb to push in the release. However, if I am using a normal grip, my middle finger gets in the way on the other end and makes it so that I cannot fully depress it with my thumb.
The workaround I am using is to choke up on the grip with my thumb and then use the tip of my middle finger on the other side to press in the release. This is a bit awkward for me and in a tense situation I could see myself fumbling with it, trying to get out the magazine so that I could reload. I think this point will need a lot of practice on my part.
I have a CHL, but I am not yet carrying the FNS. I am waiting for more holster options to come out, specifically one from Concealment Solutions. I emailed the company a couple of weeks ago and their reply was that they had just received a mold for the FNS and should have holsters available for it in the near future. For the meantime I am pocket-carrying a Ruger LCR, which is another one of my favorites.
I also have a Tristar T100 (CZ clone). This gun is fun to shoot, too, but it feels heavier than the FNS and does not fit my hand as well. While my index finger seems to rest naturally in the right spot on the FNS's trigger, the T100's trigger seems to be just a little farther out from the grip. I feel like I don't have a proper placement of my finger on the trigger until I have already started to pull it in a little ways.
Got two of my hosts for my liberty mystic (9mm suppressor) finished in the last few weeks:
The AR-15 is chambered in 300 blackout and was built on a seekins precision billet lower (purchased during the scare when it was the only thing I could get... way too much $$$) that I made into an SBR via Form 1. 8" seekins (rock creek) 5 r barrel.
The pistol is a 9mm Sig P226 X5 tactical (new style) with a Barsto match fit threaded barrel. It locks up tight.
Both shoot great suppressed. haven't shot the SBR without the suppressor (and don't plan to). Have a Liberty Infinity in Form 4 Jail now... so the mystical will be dedicated to the SBR and I can use the lighter Infinity on my 9mm pistols.
My Nexus 5 really takes wonderful pictures... maybe some of the gun fund will be diverted to a nice camera in the near future.
Good all around sexy gun in the $500-700 range would be a CZ 75B in Matte Stainless steel. I like the trigger pull of hammer fired guns.
Otherwise a S&W Shield for conceal carry or S&W MP 9C are good options. My Springfield XDM though not very sexy looking I have to admit is damn accurate.
I've got my half-finished C&R paperwork sitting on my dining room table for the past like 6 months, lol. I dunno why I just don't finish it and send it out.
They're (AKs) are also plenty accurate. Everyone just parrots this myth that they're not very accurate and it's clear to those who have experience with them that they are plenty capable, if we're being totally honest.Just wondering as there really isn't a wrong answer, but why? I'm not the biggest fan of AKs but if I were in a third world hell hole or even having to engage in any type of weather, the AK would be the rifle that I'd want. It's tolerances are so forgiving it really doesn't run the risk of failures like an AR does. While I absolutely love my ARs (sometimes I wish they weren't so plural when I say AR) they do have very tight tolerances. I should point out that I'm not a doom prepper or SHTF type, just saying what strengths the AK has for me.
Fit me well
Sig P250
Didn't really like
Sig P320(man was the trigger on this nice, though)
I'm not getting it...the frames between the two are identical and interchangeable. Why did one "fit better?"
I
I *really* like the HK p30, which is disappointing, because its probably more than I can spend. Unless I sell my other carry gun as well
Not surprisingly no one had a Steyr on hand.
I felt like I had a better grip on the 250 when I one handed it, verses the 320
it could be a grip angle difference? or the way it was molded on the sides, or where the beavertail was. I handed it immediately after the 250 and just though it didn't fit me as well.
the only downside to the 250 for me was DAO only
I held a decent amount of handguns yesterday at Gander Mountain and Rural King
Fit me well
Sig P250
HK P30
Citadel 9mm 1911
Fit me OK, atleast as well as the G27 I have now

M&P9C
HK UPS9C
Didn't really like
Sig P320(man was the trigger on this nice, though)
CZ P07 Duty 3.8
PX4 Storm Subcompact(beavertail is way too fat for me)

If you really like the p30, you want to go try a Walther PPQ (ideally an M1 with ze German style mag release on the trigger guard). The gun has fantastic egros and the best trigger of any striker fired gun that I've ever shot. I've purchased two of them (both as gifts for brother/dad) in the last few years. I believe they are still around $550 online.... maybe a bit less if you look around. Magazines will be more expensive than glock / s&w though.
anyone tried the CCP?
supposed to have the same grip as the PPQ, just smaller

I've never tried one (but would like to). One thing to point out is that, while it looks like a PPQ, it's fundementally a much different pistol. It uses a gas-piston delayed blowback design (like the HK P7 from back in the day) and has a much different (worse by all accounts) trigger than the PPQ. I'd like to shoot one, and I was really interested in one for a CC weapon, until I read about the trigger. Then again I also own a keltec PF9 so I guess I can't be too critical of triggers.
Got a Wyatt's detmag system installed on my AAC-SD, and the suppressor mount/brake is installed, timed, and set with rocksett. Just waiting for the call that the form4 is here and that I can pick up the suppressor for it.
She's purty.
Yeppers.
:thumbsup::thumbsup:
I was going to ask if that was a 308, but looked it up.
I guess they made a few in 300BLk as well, but the only ones I have seen in stock anywhere are the .308 models.
7 yards is good enough for what it is intended for I guess.
