Good stuff!

So guys, question. I have never really put an urgency on owning an tactical style rifle. However with the recent threat on them I have considering picking one up. The prices however have been astronomical. Then I get this from my local gun shop. Its $100 below retail (unlike the jacked up prices of recent). I was going to purchase a full size handgun (Beretta 92a1) in about two weeks but what are your thoughts about this deal? Should I forgo my pistol for a rifle?

I got my first gun. I put 100 rounds through it this weekend. I love the feel of this gun. It was cheap too!

I have a p95 as well but blued. I love it. Such an incredible deal too. Ive tried a hogue grip but eventually took it off. You liking it?

i have a beretta 92a1 and i absolutely love it without a doubt, but which rifle were you planning on purchasing?

His pic was a dead image link but it came up when i entered the link in my browser bar. It was a pretty basic S&W M&P 15 for $949. It doesn't look like a terrible price, especially considering the current market.

Ya, i have been drooling over getting a 92a1 for a while now. Qualified in the Navy with the M9 so i'm used to it.

The rifle is a s&w mp15 OR which is stripped out but a good deal.

I am surprised the price of the 92a1 hasn't gone up. Considering its hi cap mags and with potential ban on then i figure it would go up like the Glocks have. But my same gun shop has it list at 669

Picked up my first gun yesterday.
Springfield Armory XDm-9. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

^^^ i wanted a springfield xdm-9 for a while. In the end, I wanted to save some cash.

I have a p95 as well but blued. I love it. Such an incredible deal too. Ive tried a hogue grip but eventually took it off. You liking it?

So far so good. Ive only shot a few handguns in my life, mostly glocks, but the gun feels good in my hand and is balanced. recoil is minimal. (yea its only a 9mm) i like the features including the safety/de-cocker. It is small, but it is a 'full size' gun. I hate compact grips. I hate when i cant get my whole hand around the grip. But with this gun, I fits just right. I also like the trigger pull in single action. I have found a point where the trigger almost ...clicks, indicating the hammer is about to drop. it allowed me to get a much better feel for knowing when the gun is going to fire.

if i have a chance to try a hogue grip, i will. But im not going to go out of my way to find one.

i have no regrets with the purchase, especially with the pricetag ~$350. i paid on the high end.

Its a bit dark in real life. Florescent lights kill these pictures. The engraving got a bit berried but that doesn't bother me. I think its going to be great when its back on my gun.

for all you reloaders.. Natchezss has some decent bullets in .224

[Vedubin01]

Any of you guys have experience with a mid-grade AR15 trigger group? Something in between a stock trigger and a $250 Geissele. I've heard the Rock River NM 2 stage is pretty good, and it's about $120.

Ive had the NM RRA trigger and it is quite nice but will wear down after a bit. You can find Geissele triggers at Palmetto State on sale for under 200 shipped. I would highly suggest the Geissele SSA triggers. There is none better!

If you get down this way and want to go shooting, Ill let ya shoot one of mine and you can tell me what you think :)

[Vedubin01]

Let's do it. My friend just installed an SSA but has backed out the last 2 times I went shooting.

pins are backwards or the holes are not milspec. I run with the KNS Gen2 pins in all mine just for that reason.

Federal agency has now acquired enough bullets to wage 30 year war
Paul Joseph Watson

Infowars

February 7, 2013
The Department of Homeland Security is set to purchase a further 21.6 million rounds of ammunition to add to the 1.6 billion bullets it has already obtained over the course of the last 10 months alone, figures which have stoked concerns that the federal agency is preparing for civil unrest.

A solicitation posted yesterday on the Fed Bid website details how the bullets are required for the DHS Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, New Mexico.
The solicitation asks for 10 million pistol cartridge .40 caliber 165 Grain, jacketed Hollow point bullets (100 quantities of 100,000 rounds) and 10 million 9mm 115 grain jacketed hollow point bullets (100 quantities of 100,000 rounds).

The document also lists a requirement for 1.6 million pistol cartridge 9mm ball bullets (40 quantities of 40,000 rounds).
An approximation of how many rounds of ammunition the DHS has now secured over the last 10 months stands at around 1.625 billion. In March 2012, ATK announced that they had agreed to provide the DHS with a maximum of 450 million bullets over four years, a story that prompted questions about why the feds were buying ammunition in such large quantities. In September last year, the federal agency purchased a further 200 million bullets.

To put that in perspective, during the height of active battle operations in Iraq, US soldiers used 5.5 million rounds of ammunition a month. Extrapolating the figures, the DHS has purchased enough bullets over the last 10 months to wage a full scale war for almost 30 years.
Such massive quantities of ammo purchases have stoked fears that the agency is preparing for some kind of domestic unrest. In 2011, Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement to prepare for a mass influx of immigrants into the United States, calling for the plan to deal with the “shelter” and “processing” of large numbers of people.

The federal agency’s primary concern is now centered around thwarting “homegrown terrorism,” but information produced and used by the DHS to train its personnel routinely equates conservative political ideology with domestic extremism.
A study funded by the Department of Homeland Security that was leaked last year characterizes Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” and “reverent of individual liberty” as “extreme right-wing” terrorists.
In August 2012, the DHS censored information relating to the amount of bullets purchased by the federal agency on behalf of Immigration & Customs Enforcement, citing an “unusual and compelling urgency” to acquire the bullets, noting that there is a shortage of bullets which is threatening a situation that could cause “substantial safety issues for the government” should law enforcement officials not be adequately armed.

As we highlighted last month, the DHS’ previous ammunition solicitation was awarded to Evian Group, an organization that was formed just five days before the announcement of the solicitation and appeared to be little more than a front organization since it didn’t have a genuine physical address, a website, or even a phone number.
While Americans are being browbeaten with rhetoric about the necessity to give up semi-automatic firearms in the name of preventing school shootings, the federal government is arming itself to the teeth with both ammunition and guns. Last September, the DHS purchased no less than 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles, labeling them “Personal Defense Weapons.
