That is a kickin' rad rifle and I like it. Weird bolt catch, though.

I love it. Doubly so if it puts a huge scratch on the receiver when you move it (and it looks like it does.)

Anyone have first-hand experience with Elcan optics? I was in a gun shop this morning and noticed that the LE/Mil discount was -$500, but the owner said "Anyone who's ever actually used an Elcan knows that's still too expensive" Not sure why he tried to talk my buddy out of a sale, but...

The elcan I had on my 240B when I was in seemed to work pretty well, never had any issues with it. From all I've ever heard they're a good company with quality products.

https://myservicerifle.com/product/troy-gau-5aa/ On the subject of retro guns, I really want this along with a Nodak M16A1 clone. There's just something cool about retro AR platform guns that aren't full of a bunch of ridiculous stuff.

Does that apply to vets or only actively serving military? I've gotten some steals on LE priced handguns, but that's with an active military ID.

I think most of us rate at least 0% and that still somehow qualifies. Edit: I looked up the discount and while it's open to disabled vets, AD, guard/reserve, and retirees, in order to get the discount you have to provide an LES or a copy of your orders. Which a disabled vet ain't gonna have, lol. Well done S&W. McNally fucked around with this message at 03:33 on May 12, 2017 |

I'm a horrid Beretta fanboy, but I can't say I'm a super big fan of the PX4. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but the ergonomics just don't suit me. Something about the grip, I find the sights a bit too chunky... just little things that just didn't suit me. If they work for you, I would definitely buy. I can't comment on the price though. And failing all else they are crazy reliable. Also shares mags with the CX4.

Prices on the PX4 have crashed lately, you can find LNIB examples on Gunbroker for sub $400 pretty regularly, depending on how long you are willing to wait. I haven't put enough rounds through one to form an opinion, but I know some people who really like them. Have you personally tried it? If you want a polymer gun with an external hammer, the PX4 and the Sig P2022 are both the unloved, discontinued children of their parent companies and can both be found for <$400 these days. Of the two, the PX4 has more options in terms of low profile or de-cock only levers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrd2mjVFNoM

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who likes the M9. Sure, the frame safety is impossible to reach, and the DA pull needs a kickstart, but it looks mean and puts bullets where I point it. That said, fired a buddy's P320 because one day I may actually get my hands on an M17 and hooooly poo poo is that thing snappy. I know "every time it goes bang should surprise you" for basic fundamentals and stuff, but that first round out was so sudden I nearly dropped the drat thing.

Sure, the frame safety is impossible to reach, and the DA pull needs a kickstart, but it looks mean and puts bullets where I point it. The M9 is okay. It fits my hand well, though I don't like where the safety is located. I know the 1911 is "outdated" and single-stack but holy poo poo that's the most comfortable pistol I've ever held in my hand. I'd recommend it over a double-stack to a lot of people with smaller hands, especially one in 9mm or .38 Super. My favorite combat pistol remains the M&P45. It's comfortable and the ergonomics give it the felt recoil of a Beretta 9mm.
