Ok. I am currently classified as EX in SSP. I plan on shooting SSP, ESP and CDP with various pistols I own. I would like to use my GLOCK 21SF in my next classifier, where I'll classify for all three semi-auto pistols at once, using a pistol legal across all divisions. As I understand it, in the...
I've been meaning to do this for a while. I use a G-CODE RTI belt adapter for OWB carry. When I get in my car, I prefer not to tear my seats up so I've been unhooking my holster and putting it on the seat next to me or on the floor. I realize that's not the best way to go about traveling with a...
Ok, so now that I'm a member of two CMP-affiliated organizations, I figure it's time to look into buying a Garand. As a gunsmith, I have not worked on them very much, but I have read Kuhnhausen's book on the .30 Cal service rifles. It's a lot to digest, and I'm more of a hands-on learner. I want...
Hey guys,
I know we've got some recent (and not-so-recent) transplants to NoVA, and I figure it's time we should all meet up and grab some beer and/or dinner together. Or we can skip the beer and have an OC meetup, although maybe that would be better suited for a second meetup. I figure we are...
Ok. So a couple years back I built an SBR, and set out to prove mostly to myself that a BCM upper run with Slip2000 is a reliable, quality setup. I have a BCM 11.5" BFH upper with a BCM BCG and OG (1st gen Mod4 Gunfighter CH). The lower is an Engage Armament ENG-15 with Colt parts, Spikes Battle...
Ok, so as I'm sure all of you are aware, there has been much consternation about the Gen4 GLOCK pistols in 9mm. I know this is a sample size of 1 and I'm no Todd K of pistol-training.com... but I plan to put out a fair (if slightly subjective) review of my experience with this pistol over the...
Ok, my trust will be official as soon as it's notarized and I want to send off my Form 1 ASAP.
My only dilemma is how to go about shortening the barrel. Should I chop it and have a 3-lug adapter installed ($345 + shipping), or replace the barrel entirely ($724 including labor + barrel cost +...
What's the deal? I saw some at the Chantilly show but didn't snag one. Now I'm on the hunt, I'm trying to see if they're something like the Lipsey's FDE frame guns or has GLOCK brought them back into the production cycle?
The question is, do I snag one now for retail, or wait a few weeks/months...
Well, I had made a post about buying my first handgun as a VA resident, and was between a MPA30T (semi-auto M11/9) and a Ruger LCR in .357 Magnum.
I did a lot of research and found that .38 Super +P is nearly as good as .357 MAG out of a short <2" barrel. Then I got to handle an LCR side by...
Ok so how the hell do I use it properly? The scabbard is some garbage, so I will be making my own at some point.
Now it's "sword sharp" and I can thrust it into stuff really easily, haven't really tried chopping much. I may have to get a shield to match.... I have heard pool noodles can be fun...
Ok, I have gone on record as saying I can't shoot HK USPs very well.
Well, like King Obama, my feelings have "evolved" after shooting a USP .45 V1 this weekend. It belongs to a member here who happens to be one of my best friend's neighbors... I got a better group with it than with my G21...
My ex-gf has been asking for advice on carrying a gun for SD (she lives in VA) but ia IMHO nowhere near ready for that... so it hasn't been at the forefront of my consciousness to keep her safe (as she's my ex) but she got mugged last week. Now I feel like she really needs something easy to use...
Chopper in the air, half a dozen PG Co Police cruisers parked on medians and shoulders of 210 near Beretta Dr.
Anyone know what's up?
Si vis pacem para bellum

:D
Mailed it in on 5/2, with a money order for payment. According to the letter I got, it was granted on 6/12, so they were inside 45 days.
It feels damn nice to have my CHP quicker than some people who bought a regulated firearm in Maryland on the same day I mailed my application. I feel for...
Well, it's almost time to buy my first gun in VA. I've been a resident for over 30 days and the initial moving expenses are pretty much out of the way... I had to deal with some car repair and a sick cat too, but it's almost time to make my first purchase.
I am counting on you guys to help me...
Over the previous week I started getting some vibration/rubbing noise that matched the speed of my car, and my heat stopped working. My alignment was off and the front wheels were a bit off balance. Also my seat was creaking and there has been this horrible ass stank in the AC since it started...
I am gauging interest in a small build party that I can host, in the Falls Church/Annandale area.
What I have: Drill press and a vise (on order), drill and mill bits, machining experience.
What I don't have: the jigs necessary for completing the job on a drill press!
So basically I'm trying...
I'm talking SSR and eventually ESR here...
I currently have a Ruger LCR on my short list... so I have my BUG covered, but I am thinking about how much I know and shoot semis, where I don't even own a revolver.
I'm looking at the S&W 586, Ruger GP100, or something similar. I wanted input...
