Dad is in the market for a higher caliber AR.

Any concerns with the PSA .308? They've got great prices right now.

Dang.
I just sold one because I didn’t shoot it often.
I liked it fine.

Sig Tread 716i. Ruger SFAR.

I know there were some issues with the Gen 1 PSA .308. I think they’ve got them figured out with Gen 2. PSA has great customer service regardless.

Anyone own a USP? How does it compare to other full sized pistols? Enjoyable?

I wouldn’t mind having the little brother of the Mark 23.

Avert your eyes, @YankeeVol

I decided to get a little weird with part of my tax refund. I’ll report back when I go to the range next weekend. I love the looks and feel of the CX4 Storm even more than I expected. For under $600 I’m pretty happy.

Lol. You finally got one.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Help me out folks. It’s been nearly a full week that I’ve had my 1911, which means it’s time to think about my next purchase. I’m a degenerate.

This time I want to keep it under $600 if not a lot less. Here are what I’m considering:

Ruger 10/22
View attachment 456128
Simple, cheap, classic. Currently I don’t care for shooting rifles very much, but perhaps I would benefit from a economical platform to work with. I would try to get the most basic version to keep costs low.

Glock 19:

View attachment 456129

This one I’m am not certain about. Now that I carry the P365XL, my mind starts wondering if I could conceal a Glock 19. The advantage over the P365XL is that it will feel and shoot much more like a full size handgun. The P365XL still shoots and behaves like a smaller gun. Big downside of the Glock is if I get it and I can’t conceal it comfortably, it would be money wasted.

Beretta CX-4 Storm
View attachment 456130

I like how it’s unique but practical. It would mainly be a range toy, but with a red dot and weapon light, it could be a decent home defense gun. Works with the same magazines as the 92 and chambered in 9mm so it’s cheaper to shoot than my AR. Downside is limited aftermarket and I may not get a lot of use out of it.

I’m also thinking about a snub nose revolver, like a S&W J-frame. Always liked them, but realistically I don’t have a reason to carry one. I also don’t feel like adding another caliber to my inventory.

Can anyone chime in if they’ve had experience with any of the ones I’ve mentioned. I would love to hear what you all have liked and disliked. At this moment I feel like the 10/22 is the smart play financially and getting max usage at the range.

Huh, guess I ended up with all of them. Time to start a new list.

@C-south can you detail your sling setup for the storm? I don’t know a whole lot about slings, so any advice is appreciated.

I just got a basic cabela’s brand sling that attaches straight to the studs. Basically has a threaded spring loaded pin that goes through the stud. You line up the back side and tighten with the attached thumb screw. *I kinda explained it wrong but added a couple pics for more clarity. There’s different types of sling mounts I just went with the simplest.

Tax refund?. Haven't see one of those in over 10 years

Yep. How much are you asking and is it in like new condition? Why are you getting rid of it?

Has a trigger pull like trying to lift a gallon of milk with your finger... of course, it's been a minute since I owned one; so, they might have improved it.

Otherwise, shoots great and is a tack driver. My USP45 was good, though not for me in the long run.

Yeah, I held one and tried the trigger at the gun store when I was picking up my Beretta. I was not impressed with the USP trigger. Not horrendous, but for a $1k gun, I expected better.

 

[volanatic]

I don’t browse the random threads on VN often, but I just did and never saw this one before. Like Michael Scott, my heart is very full right now.

I. Love. Guns.

Of course I’m in the same boat as many of you, where all of my pistol brace “items” were recently lost in a very tragic boating accident.

Congrats! I keep hoping they’ll fix all those dead and missing steel targets.

I put an MSR on mine. Wish I had went with a Romeo 5 like on my ARs. I only got the MSR because it came in FDE.

For under $120 the Romeo 5 is such a good value.

I need to figure out a decent cheap scope for my 10/22. I know absolutely nothing about scopes, how to mount them or much else, but it would be fun to see how far I can lob some 22LR. 100 yards on steel is a cinch with the factory irons.

$120 is cheap my friend. Trust me lol
