I have been looking for a KelTec pistol carbine for a while. I like them, they are definitely an interesting niche product.

I think they're awesome. Check out mechtech, they make uppers that fit Glock/XD/1911 frames and use their magazines.

I agree, I don't see any bullpups or a .308 in that collection.

I have a Tavor in 9mm. One of my favorites to shoot.

You can never have enough...
I have *only* four ARs built and a stripped lower waiting for a build, as well as the two AKs. Can't wait to get back to CONUS to get back into the firearms.

I need precious extra seconds to get them on target.

^^^this^^^

Have done this, The most natural is my P226 Mk25 9mm.
I handle and shoot that handgun superbly,...& I scare myself

I will let you know soon. It's fun to shoot and at this point the accuracy is good inside of 250yds. I would imagine it is a hogzilla killing machine but have not tested. I got to imagine a 300gr bullet traveling at over 2000fps will do the trick on just about anything.

It's stupid expensive to shoot which is a negative. I always wanted one and the uppers went on sale for like $489. I jumped on it. I have more than that in the lower and more than twice that in the optics which is what matters. That's why I love building them. Most barrels perform, it's the lower half that makes it a shooter in my opinion.

Golddots · 09-20-2017, 05:28 PM

Been a while since I've seen this thread.

Anyone tried any of the following:
Gen 5 glock. Is it more accurate with"marksman barrel"?
Newer colt commander 9mm series 70. Recoil compared to 5"?
How are the new sig Romeo rds holding up? I might buy a Rx sig just to give the red dot a whirl.
Mp 2.0 compact.( actual g19 sized)

Keep up the posts! I'd love to see more 1911s. I carry an HK, but 1911s are great to play with now and then.

davis449 · 09-21-2017, 11:51 AM

Gen 5 Glock is a bust, IMO. No more accurate then my pretty much brand new Gen 4. It's really going to boil down to whether or not you want finger grooves and like the OEM stippling on the Gen 4. If it were my money on the table and I hated the finger grooves, which I don't, I would just go find me a Gen 2 that's in great condition.
