A $1000 Glock lol. My local store has a thing called glock days where you can get them for cost. I think my Gen 3 G23 was $370ish. I hated that guns grip angle. The Gen 4's are much nicer for us guys sensative to the grip angle of the previous gens. Nice simple firearm.

What am I missing that makes that a $1000 gun besides the carbon fiber? Lol Dont they retail for sub $600?

Here's my new carry gun. Looking forward to hitting the range tomorrow. Already added hogue grips for comfort.

^^^ I have the full size of that gun and its a dream to shoot. Very nice purchase!

^^ Great looking pistol.


Just got back from the range for my weekly daddy unwind time.

Put 120 rounds through the AK47, and I don't know how I feel about it.

Recoil was surprisingly low, accuracy was acceptable.

The sound that rifle makes is amazing. I love it, can't get enough of it. If I had the money I would blow through ammo for the soul purpose of listening to it.

That said, my main concern and biggest draw back is the gas. After a few rounds I found my eyes becoming very irritated from the gas exiting the dust cover.

Is this just because I was at an indoor range? Anyone else care to chime in?


Also put 60 through the Colt, but not much to say there other than <3.

Saw a guy with a SBR Ar15 and an ACOG. I was confused, well not really... But I would have expected much better results than he seemed to be getting considering the magnification.

[mrsleeve]

short barrel can equal crappy results no matter the magnification, SBR's are not long distance animals, they are for CQB, and short range, not clipping targets at medium to long rang

7 months later and I finally got my M&P 9mm!!

[accident]

Much harder to CCW with that mag.

Yeah, I bet lol. Do you have a CA permit?

The 10mm Glocks may be hard to find, not sure. The carbon fiber is definitely a sticker, and the guy is smoking crack. I bought my Glock 23 brand new at a gun store and paid like $541 out the door lol

Last time out with the Ruger SR9 I rented... I love that gun! Hopefully picking one up soon.

About 9 yards out.



Do want!

For you Glock lovers. These are two guns that I built several years ago and have since given to my sons.



Cheers,

You guys following this shit in Nevada?

Yes consider the source but interesting if that is the case....

http://www.infowars.com/breaking-sen-harry-reid-behind-blm-land-grab-of-bundy-ranch/

The Bureau of Land Management, whose director was Sen. Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) former senior adviser, has purged documents from its web site stating that the agency wants Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s cattle off of the land his family has worked for over 140 years in order to make way for solar panel power stations.
The first segment of the document pulled by the feds from BLM.gov.

Deleted from BLM.gov but reposted for posterity by the Free Republic, the BLM document entitled “Cattle Trespass Impacts” directly states that Bundy’s cattle “impacts” solar development, more specifically the construction of “utility-scale solar power generation facilities” on “public lands.”
“Non-Governmental Organizations have expressed concern that the regional mitigation strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone utilizes Gold Butte as the location for offsite mitigation for impacts from solar development, and that those restoration activities are not durable with the presence of trespass cattle,” the document states.
The second segment of the document pulled by the feds from BLM.gov.

Another BLM report entitled Regional Mitigation Strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone (BLM Technical Note 444) reveals that Bundy’s land in question is within the “Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone and surrounding area” which is part of a broad U.S. Department of Energy program for “Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States” on land “managed” by BLM.
“In 2012, the BLM and the U.S. Department of Energy published the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States,” the report reads. “The Final Solar Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement assessed the impact of utility-scale solar energy development on public lands in the six southwestern states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah.”

“The Approved Resource Management Plan Amendments/Record of Decision (ROD) for Solar Energy Development in Six Southwestern States implemented a comprehensive solar energy program for public lands in those states and incorporated land use allocations and programmatic and SEZ-specific design features into land use plans in the six-state study area.”
Back in 2012, the New American reported that Harry Reid’s son, Rory Reid, was the chief representative for a Chinese energy firm planning to build a $5-billion solar plant on public land in Laughlin, Nevada.
And journalist Marcus Stern with Reuters also reported that Sen. Reid was heavily involved in the deal as well.
“[Reid] and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert,” he wrote. “Reid has been one of the project’s most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada.”
“His son, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county commission.”
Although these reports are in plain view, the mainstream media has so far ignored this link.
The BLM’s official reason for encircling the Bundy family with sniper teams and helicopters was to protect the endangered desert tortoise, which the agency has previously been killing in mass due to “budget constraints.”
“A tortoise isn’t the reason why BLM is harassing a 67 year-old rancher; they want his land,” journalist Dana Loesch wrote. “The tortoise wasn’t of concern when [U.S. Senator] Harry Reid worked with BLM to literally change the boundaries of the tortoise’s habitat to accommodate the development of his top donor, Harvey Whittemore.”
“Reid is accused of using the new BLM chief as a puppet to control Nevada land (already over 84% of which is owned by the federal government) and pay back special interests,” she added. “BLM has proven that they’ve a situational concern for the desert tortoise as they’ve had no problem waiving their rules concerning wind or solar power development. Clearly these developments have vastly affected a tortoise habitat more than a century-old, quasi-homesteading grazing area.”
“If only Cliven Bundy were a big Reid donor.”
Update: The Drudge Report, the #1 news aggregate site in the world, has now picked up this story. Unfortunately for the BLM, the documents they wanted to delete are now exposed for the world to see.

Call me dense, but rancher has used gov't land for the last 190 years. Gov't gave notice they want it back for solar use. Rancher's pissed because they can't use land that they don't have a deed on? Uhhh...sounds like the rancher's need to buy their own land? Am I missing something?

yeah they wanted it back to protect a turtle, but maybe it appears they had other reasons. Its public land and Nevada is different than most states as the Gov. owns 86 percent of all land in Nevada. Or the US tax payer. If the Gov. wanted to keep people and animals out, they should build a fence. There are laws that protect animals crossing over land for grazing. Call Free to Graze laws. This ranchers family has been ranching that property well before the US government got involved. The Gov brought contracted help to kill the animals on the land and have orders to kill anyone that enters.



Also note, the current director of the BLM used to work for Harry Reid.

I certainly don't want to get involved in a debate here because I obviously don't know enough about the laws, but it still seems crazy to me that these people are getting all heated up over land they do not own.

[Farbin Kaiber]

^Did not own, but essentially had a grandfathered lease and 'grazing rights' to the land before the law changed in 1998. Its 'Public Use' land, but he had the rights to it.

Back on "gun thread" related topic. Sold my Shield today, have $500 burning a hole in my pocket. Plan on spending $150 to finish my Saiga conversion and possibly another $85 to put some night sights on my Kahr CM9. Been thinking I should own a 22lr handgun for a while...can't decide if I want a Ruger MKIII style (dad has an old one back from the 70s) or go with a new style SR22, P22 or M&P 22. Help me spend money folks.
