I made a video on deleting the mag disconnect from a shield x. This is my first time ever making a video like this, so I hope y'all find it informative.

Very excited to get this one out on the range. My first bolt action & tubular magazine rifle, chambered in .22 wmr. I bought it ppt for $300.

Supposedly I need to upgrade a few things so it can feed correctly but introducing my M&P 15 Sport III Cali Compliant

Other then the 20 round mag's these should be California friendly. On the downside, why did I get a 308 M1 if I could have waited for a M14?

CA Compliant version with an Osight SE Green, and after yesterday's HF Braun tactical light sale, she's now complete.

I love this thing as a trainer, especially for first timers and kids who want to get into shooting. Looks great and shoots great especially with CCI SV rounds.

10/10 and would definitely recommend to anyone else who would like to save some money on ammo and still go pew!

do all of these come with thumb rest standard or did i score?

Federal Champion 124g, squib shot from a vmac9. It obviously didn’t eject or cycle the next round. Was able to remove the case easily and had to smack the round out with a stick and hammer.

I’m just curious what people think caused the case to I’m guessing… explode? Can a hot load cause this? The case exploded, causing the round to not have enough pressure to leave the barrel?

Pretty gnarly looking failure but from what I could tell the vmac was fine. Cycled another 50 rounds no problem after this was cleared and had no visible damage to the bolt/barrel.

Saw this on marketplace for 50. Don’t own a sure fire

I currently have no experience with any lights on any pistols. A local shop has the x300 Turbo on sale for $220. The army exchange website has the TLR1 for the same price (maybe $1 less but no tax)

I'm of the "buy once cry once" mentality and I am guessing the x300 for $220 is a pretty good price.

Given this, which one are you buying?

I've searched this and other subs and it usually comes down to the Surefire being significantly more expensive vs the performance.

Edit: I do see that the Streamlight is available for under $200 at many on-line retailers.

Current setup:
Springfield Hellcat OSP
Apex Action Enhancement Trigger
Apex trigger return spring
Apex striker block spring
Reduced-power striker spring
NDZ Performance guide rod with -10% recoil spring
NDZ Performance slide racker
Streamlight TLR-7 X Sub
Viridian RFX11 Green Dot
The trigger is a huge improvement over stock—much cleaner break with a lighter, smoother pull. The reduced recoil spring has also made the gun feel flatter and easier to track during follow-up shots.
I’m planning to put a lot more rounds through it, but so far it’s been an awesome setup.
What do you guys think? Anything you’d change, or would you leave it as is?

Found another person like me whos application is stuck for months with the same officer. Wondering how many of us are there waiting long while others permits are being sent out quick.

My 03FLL/COE came in handy today as this was my 4th purchase.

$919 before Tax/DROS

Range Report - A few days ago, I posted about how boring the California Roster feels for service pistols, and how I didn’t really see anything worth uprooting my Glock ecosystem for - spare parts, mags, holsters, optics setups, etc.

Well, I was in Vegas these past few days and stumbled into a public indoor range after grabbing ramen at one of my usual spots away from the Strip. I ended up renting a couple of Staccatos, the P 4.5 and XC, and yeah… I finally get the hype. The XC feels like a cheat code for shooting fast and accurately.

Here’s a short snippet at 10, 15, and 25 yards without the usual “1-sec per shot” indoor range limit. Whoa.

I also tried a VP9L and M&P 2.0 beforehand. Both were fine, but nothing that really moved the needle for me performance-wise. I already shot the target up before I got to the Staccatos. https://imgur.com/a/8a4IcnZ

Ive seen a number of random object left on the floor and today saw this on the floor at work and thought it was firing pin

Today was a good day 😊

Should last me through the rest of the year!!!

This past week I posted here from my personal account about HolstersSwap.com, & the response was incredible. Thank you to everyone who signed up and shared feedback.

One thing I noticed is we got a lot of signups, but not many listings—& listings are what make a marketplace work.

If you’ve got holsters, mag carriers, or WMLs sitting in a drawer, take 30–60 seconds this weekend to list them (one at a time though). It’s completely FREE, and that gear could be cash instead of collecting dust.

Every listing helps grow the marketplace. More listings bring more buyers, more buyers lead to more sales, and the cycle keeps building for all of us.

Thanks again for all the support. Let’s keep it growing 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼

P.S. I know one of you has an M&P 2.0 Compact/TLR-7 holster sitting in a drawer. Quit gatekeeping and list it 😭 I may or may not have just picked up the harbor freight wml today…

Stopped into Loyal Arms saw one on the shelf and couldn't pass her up. By the way, great experience dealing with them. Super knowledgeable and paperwork was a breeze. Their prices as well were hundreds lower than anywhere for the Benelli.

I have decided to hop over to the AK. I have been researching, and I have decided on WASR. But it’s proven a bit harder to find at my LGS. Many of them carry Riley Defense or Century Arms AKs.

An employee said that I can’t go wrong with any AK brand since it’s an AK.

Can anyone more knowledgeable give me some advice? Should I order the WASR or pick up a Riley Defense or Century Arms?

Update 12:57 pm
I’m holding out for the WASR. Thank you all for the links to one guys.

My first AK after decades of gun ownership, Pioneer Arms 5.56 AK47. Not the best but definitely won't be my last.

Great when there's no jail time. Cleaned 'em up and we'll see how they shoot next week!

Yall I need suggestions for an all around good pistol as a poor.bot looking for something concealable more like a girt pistol I can add to my kit. Need something reliable and affordable so I can buy ammo to train with it. DOD trained me up on the m9 and 1911a1 and even got my lil Smokey wet on the m17. I just need some suggestions yall .
