Busted out the HK...like I was a fkn hero. $$$ well spent. Too bad it's collecting dust in the glovebox of my other car.

Had the same exact experience here with both those weapons lmfaoooo

Except I had the full sized VP9. Superb weapon.

Your left hand looks to be a bit low on the weapon. At least from this angle. Your two thumbs should be right above each other, or you can cross your right thumb over your left hand right behind the rear of your left thumb.

Oh and try fully locking out your elbows.

Been looking for a local used 10/22 as I should have kept my old ones, but everyone wants more than new cost. I may just buy the .22LR Savage model that Wal Mart sells & call it a day

I wouldn't sell a 10/22 or buy a used one, because nobody should sell a good 10/22.

Finally received my Ascend Armory receiver set. Probably have 2 weeks or so before JP finishes the barrel.

Isn't it a bit bigger than a typical sub compact?

The HK? Yes...perfect size. A little more compact than my Glock 19.

Just bot my first .380. SW Bodyguard with Insight laser...pretty cool carry gun.

I am patiently (sort of) awaiting the next time the Benelli Supernova 12g goes on sale. I missed the last sale because I was indecisive and didn't pull the trigger so to speak.

And naturally, they've been taking their sweet time putting it on sale again. Cabela's had an exclusive deal on it, but it didn't come with all three chokes the standard one comes with, just one IC.

Listing for $899 for the camo version up here. Sort of envy the cheaper American prices, but with the FX, I suppose there isn't a big difference...about $100. Still, I'd prefer to have that in my pocket.

Back to waiting...maybe they'll do a Christmas sale. Or a March sale prior to the outdoorsmen show.

Looking at few lever actions now in 44mag

And here I thought an alien like you would be thinking bigger is better...not something as small as a .44mag in a heavy rifle.

Something....more like this:

Now you're talking.

A slicked up, short stroked Uberti 1873 in .45LC is pretty much my favourite bang stick in my gun cabinet - love it.

A recently deceased mate of mine had a Chiappa M92 Alaskan Take-Down in .44 Mag - that was quite impressive.

One of these....

I bought my Benelli M4 off GunBroker and saved hundreds of dollars.

Every Marlin I've shot has been less than impressive (especially the post-Remington made ones) and other than the fact they are side eject so can fit optics, I don't know why people like them? Maybe the 5 or 6 I've tried were not representative?

Uberti, Rossi, Chiappa, Henry and even Winchester have all shot better than any Marlin I've shot.

[1MOREMOD]

Interesting. Have an option on a rossi as well

I can't use gunbroker. I'd have to find someone to export anything I found there and pay those fees, plus customs, and etc.

We've got some Canadian sites that are similar, biggest one I'd say is canadiangunnutz.com. So I've been monitoring that carefully. And they are about $100-150 cheaper, but I've got no assurance on round count and I refuse to buy something sight unseen.

I bought a rifle off that site, but only because it was local and I could go see it and inspect it for myself. All the people selling the Supernova (and there's only about 4 of them) aren't local. Closest is at least 6 hours away.

But thanks for the suggestion, never hurts.

At first glance, I thought it was a really weird looking futuristic pistol...

I find myself on the wrong side of the Atlantic yet again. With my luck something will happen and prices will skyrocket right before I move back, just like last time.

I'm still on a bunch of mailing lists for the online retailers and in a way I'm glad I'm not there because it keeps me from spending all that money, but man, firearms are crazy cheap at the moment.

[1MOREMOD]

Yep hard to resist

Still waiting on my barrel kit from JP but got the V Seven lithium-aluminum receiver extension, Radian Raptor charge handle, and Elf trigger on.

Looks great. What buffer tube is that?

Thanks!
That's V Seven's 2055 lithium-aluminum tube. Really light but also super strong. I love V Seven stuff. That's their Titanium safety selector too.
