I've been talking about training for pelvic shots for a while now, especially ever since mass shooters have started showing up in body armor. Put a few rounds into someone's pelvic girdle. They're unlikely to bleed out quickly (unless you get lucky), but you'll at least make a mobile threat immobile. With mass shooters in particular, they're usually on a suicide mission, so if they're shot in the pelvis and rendered immobile, they might even take care of the rest for you. Regardless, once someone's on the ground like that, mag dump.

An armored mass shooter isn't a threat anyone's likely to encounter, but dick shots are fun to train for on range days anyway.
 
I loved the shape but damn does it need that grip tape. It felt slippery and cheap compared to the 92X with grips that will scratch your palm.
The hump 92x grip they came with to put on eats skin from my hands. Mine is a fairly low serial number so maybe they changed the default grip but the hump add on is way stickier. Night and day. I do prefer the straight back normal grip profile but I love the humps stickyness. I need to shoot it more in general. It's been so neglected
 

Smooth sides equal best slides. (C-TYPE)

for a Beretta 92 series, you will need to fit the rails where the barrel will slide in the frame. even on OEM barrel replacements, they are "semi-drop-in" barrels. a separate issue is the locking block and barrels fitment - these are intended to be fit together and poor fitment between the barrel and locking block can result in cycling failures or even cracking/breakage of the locking block. the locking block is the piece that is modified to fit the barrel, not the other way around. you can also get a new locking block and fit from that with jeweler files paying special mind to the "legs" of the locking block where it interacts with the frame.

typically, if the locking block fits the barrel with no slop and no "sticking" of movement, and there isn't any undue wear or damage, then the locking block can be reused and fitting the barrel's rails is the only thing needed for semi-drop-in aftermarket barrels. you will also want to ensure slide to barrel fit and that it properly locks up without binding - allowing the locking block to raise and lower as expected when the slide is moving.
Found a factory one. One step closer to a samurai edge gts.
 
Recently inherited some rifles and shotguns. One of them is a rem.7400 3006. Anyone have any personal experience with them?
popular semi-auto hunting rifle of years past. it's a good rifle, but has reliability issues if not kept in good condition, especially with conscientious cleaning of the gas system. once it gets dirty or you aren't using ammunition that works in it's recoil envelope or if the magazine is, the rifle will malfunction and be somewhat hard to diagnose. newer models like the 742 improved things somewhat but the 7400 itself just doesn't lend itself to hard use. personally i found them to be prone to mediocre accuracy as well, but that might just be my experience.

Was thinking about buying a scope and installing a sling but read some concerning issues with the model. Was gonna retire my 3030 marlin & use the 7400 or the weatherby 7mm.
 
"Better" would be a pretty severe understatement, yeah. Also, the A300 came with a neat laser-cut piece of adhesive-backed Velcro loop material for slapping shotgun cards on the left side of the receiver.
If you get one with a cerokote finish keep in mind you don’t get the Velcro backing. Apparently the Velcro glue was tearing the finish on some people guns. Just something to keep in mind if that’s important to you.

Obligatory new gun porn. Mine is multicam so I can fit in with all the duck hunters

Just google searched the term "police trade in" and now I'm down a magical rabbit hole of sub $500 HK USP 45's and USP Compact 45's....
 
Oh come on, do you REALLY need another firearm? (Yes you do, buy buy buy!)
I'm sure my other firearms won't mind a 60th or so brother
Bruh

Some are even under $400. Some are LEM, some aren't. Even HK45's and 45C's, too. No 9's of course, but there are .40s...
I looked at some Kansas site that had them for $392 but that shit looks like a scam. I bought a LE trade in S&W Model 64 last week for around $400 after shipping and tax. Just got it yesterday, scratched to hell but everything is fine
 
I have a 5946 that I quite enjoy, and HK's LEM is the best "version" of "DAO" so far devised, imho.

If I bought a DAK Sig for whatever reason, you can always fix them with the proper parts easy enough.
When I was looking for my 5906, I saw a bunch of 5946s for some pretty great prices and ended up paying a fair bit more for the traditional DA/SA version, so if DAO isn't a dealbreaker, there are some great deals to be had.

I picked up my 5946, NIB, about four years ago.

Apparently there was a whole warehouse of them just sitting around from the last run, so I jumped on an unfired one, because I'm not gonna miss out on one of these after not getting a 1006 when the getting was good.

I wish I still had my ex-FBI issued 1076. It was in such clean condition, especially for a formerly issued sidearm.
