9mm all day every day.
40 is snappier
This is test-able. Take a G17, a G22, and a shot timer. Load 5 rounds in each.
TEST 1 - B27 at 7 yards. Set your par to 1.5s. Send the 9mm within the allotted time and score. Send the 40cal in within the allotted time and score. Compare scores.
TEST 2 -...
Yes, you can slap any upper on a lower registered as a pistol/firearm (NOT a rifle) as long as it doesn’t have a VFG on it. If it does, see my above statement.
However - for the purposes of testing reliability, you’re going to want to tune the buffer to the final upper you decide to put on...
If you need all of that stuff ASAP and you’re running a Glock, then Freestate carries quality Kydex holsters in addition to belts and mag carriers.
Amazon has a decent selection of Safariland gear with Prime shipping. Mostly it’s for Glocks and M&Ps.
Some custom shops have quick-ship holsters...
According to this document released by the ATF (PDF warning - LINK), section 2.1.4 states:
This is interpreted to mean the measurement of OAL is taken from the end of the threads (or permanently attached muzzle device) to the end of the EXTENDED adjustable "stock." (More support for this...
Keep it simple - carry the same place every time.
My on-duty and off-duty carry is right hip. Yes, it is slower to get the gun into play while seated in a vehicle when carrying concealed on the right hip. However, that time is a moot point if you're paying attention to the people around you -...
If I had to choose between Elk Neck and Delmarva, I'd choose Delmarva every time. It's slightly more money ($25 all vs $10 at Elk Neck), but that gets you access to a 300 yard range with berms at 50, 100, 200, & 300 and steel at 100, 200, & 300; two 25 yard pistol pits; and $10 more gets you...
OK, that's really confusing.
So Joe Citizen makes an SBR, Maryland considers this a handgun rather than a SBR? Or is this more of a situation where the wording is unclear and the state just treats it like a normal SBR?
I have some questions about interpreting the law as referenced from CJIS.
Here's what I know:
An AR pistol is a pistol and not a rifle.
As long as someone owns the tools, drills/mills an 80% themselves, and always remains the owner of the finished lower, there is no need to serialize...
I don't know that they can guarantee the brass is only once fired - They have a brass credit program that does not have a means of tracking how many times the brass they receive has been fired.
Overpressure from overcharging the case or using the wrong powder could cause this. OOB, out of spec dimensions, or bad primers alone wouldn't deform both halves of the receiver. A search online later showed that their .223 remanufactured ammo did occasionally cause issues.
I would avoid Freedom Munitions remanufactured. I witnessed a blowout at Delmarva last summer. It blew out the mag in the AR, sending shards of plastic into the arm of the shooter. It deformed the lower to the point where it is no longer usable. The upper was deformed to the point that the BCG...
