Even though I am a bit Liberal I've let it be known here that I don't support the Left's position on gun control. I fully support the NRA's positions on guns.

I was just curious about VN gun ownership.

I currently own:

Kahr PM9 9mm
Sig P226 9mm
Ruger LCR 38sp +P
Ruger LCP 380
Ruger SR45 black 45cal (amazingly accurate and easy to shoot)
S&W M&P45 Full Size w/TLR-1 Streamlight and Truglo tritium fiber optic, Thumb safety, nightstand gun.
Ruger 10/22 with Nikon 3-9
Browning BAR .243 Grade II made in Belgium in 1972

I carry my PM9 every day where it is legal and some places where it is not.

Not a big fan of GLOCK. Great shooting and rugged guns but I prefer semi's with safeties. I know I'm in a minority there. My PM9 has a more revolver like trigger thus I'm fine with no safety on it.

You were just placed on some list. Not sure which list. But your are definitely on a list.

So, are you going to sell your 226 to one of us? It falls into the "no safety" category. :)

Are you talking about the Magpul AFG-2?

That doodad?

I have some experience, but went (back) to a stubby BCM vert grip which mainly gets used as a handstop until the fore end gets too warm.

I know some that love the AFG, but others just pass on them. Depends on how you hold the rifle honestly and what's more comfortable to you.

I had a HK P30L that was DA/SA and holy crap that DA pull was all the safety anyone would ever need.

That P30 DA pull was seriously bad. They were in dire need of working with Sig or someone to get something like an SRT type trigger.

SA wasn't too bad, but still a lot of creep without a good reset.

Sold mine and never looked back.

Yup those are the ones, I agree I guess it is dependent on how you hold the rifle while firing, I do prefer a longer hold and using the grip more as a hand stop than anything else. I will have to check out those BCM ones hope they carry a FDE model!

My only pistol was a 1955 S&W Model 36 handmedown from my grandfather. It's in perfect condition, and it just stays under my bed.

I just got my concealed carry license and was eyeing concealed carry. I happened to win a S&W M&P .45 a couple weeks ago as a door prize at a sportsmens event.

I haven't shot it yet, but had initially thought about getting a 9mm. Thoughts on the .45? I've shot an.45 kimber ultra carry and thought it was fine but noticeably more kick than other 9mms.

They do.

I tend to hold my AR in a C clamp type grip so the hand stop would be perfect. However, when doing sustained firing, that front end gets a tad warm especially if you aren't wearing gloves. So the stubby was perfect for changing my grip to continue firing. I started using a vert grip while I was still active and changed to the C after I went to mid length actions and gas blocks/extended handguards. So, it's not entirely foreign to me to use a vert grip. The stubby is a perfect balance between a hand stop and a vert grip. Saves on weight, but still provides enough surface to control a weapon.

A Shield (if I recall, that's what it was) in a .45 ACP is a handful.

Pretty much any pistol that small with any significant caliber is going to have more recoil. Less weight to soak up the recoil in the long run. But all in all, a 9mm in a pocket type like the Shield is about perfect IMO.

Yeah I have small hands and my shield is perfect in 9mm , I'm about to pounce on a sig p938, the wife likes her p238 and I as well, but I rather have a 9mm

Supposed to get the rest of my parts to finish my 6.8 AR build today and tomorrow. The only thing I don't have is the mag. Any recommendations as to a decent mag for the 6.8?
