If I lived in a lovely state for gun laws I'd probably just get a .357 revolver of sorts and a lever action carbine in the same caliber. That and maybe a decent surplus bolt action rifle.

I'd go Shield if you want it for CCW unless you're a giant. I have a 9c and I love it, but it's not really all that concealable for me.

For CCW I have a Kahr CW380 and a SIG P290RS. The CW380 had huge reliability problems that required 4 trips to the factory to solve, so I'd probably not recommend going with one. But the gun itself from a size and shootability standpoint is amazing. The SIG on the other hand is slightly larger and shoots very well, although the trigger is extremely long and heavy like a double action revolver. Great little gun though, pretty much the smallest good quality 9mm you can buy. I'd have probably got a Kahr PM9 if not for my experience with the CW380, although if SIG makes a striker fired version of the 290RS, I'm buying one in a heartbeat.

I'm looking to try some local carbine/pistol matches so I put together a duty belt to hold a few AR and handgun mags. The belt just came in the mail today: The BFG AR mag pouches were on sale for half off, but they're MOLLE and not belt models so they seem to sit low and flop around a bit, so I suppose I should pick up a MOLLE to duty belt adapter of sorts to fix that. Pistol is an M&P9c with 17 round magazines w/ X-Grip adapters to make it have a full size grip. I had the Safariland ALS belt holster laying around and it seems to be well suited for this. Seems to be pretty comfortable, although I've never owned or used tactical anything other than an issued IOTV or IBA w/ FLC. The weird mag pouch arrangement is due to my being cross dominant; I shoot long guns right handed and handguns left handed. Flying_Crab fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Jan 31, 2017 |

I absolutely love my Aimpoint H1, although that's probably more cost than some other options. Every bit as functional as an Aimpoint Comp M4 and way smaller/lighter. You get what you pay for with Aimpoint, their poo poo is nearly indestructible.

Smiling Jack posted:What is the loving deal with the AR charging handle I mean god drat maybe I just need practice but it is a pain in the dick to use http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCMGUNFIGHTER-Charging-Handle-s/123.htm They're not super gimmicky looking, just a lot stronger and hav better grip than the stock one. I've got the small latch on mine, which is perfect. My upper came with it, so I dunno if I'd drop $50 on a new charging handle personally. I don't think stock charging handles are all that bad. Also, I'm assuming you're a right handed shooter; how are you manipulating it? One finger? Two fingers?

ARs are way more fun and useful for multiple purposes (plinking, longer range shooting, etc.), plus you can build a cheap one for ~$500.

If you still have a military ID (not sure if IRR counts, depends on the dealer I suppose) S&W has a huge military discount. Just go to a S&W LE dealer and you can buy their LE SKU guns. I think it's $450ish for an M&P with factory night sights and 3 mags. Plus sometimes they have a $50-$100 rebate on top of that.

This is why I like the Great Lakes region. You've got Chicago (Which IMO parallels NY, LA, and other global cities for cool poo poo to do), Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Madison, etc. all as great cities to live in while we're able to have nearly unrestricted firearms ownership to include all NFA items (as long as you're willing to store them in WI). The natural beauty of rural WI/MN and Lake Michigan/Superior is amazing. Really the only bad things are are the sometimes miserable winters and a lack of actual mountains.

If you're still in and have an ID you can go to most law enforcement dealers and buy LE SKUs which are usually cheaper and come with nightsights as well as extra magazines. I know S&W and SIG do.

I'm going to throw out my oddball tiny CCW gun as a suggestion (not my photo): SIG P290RS. Probably the smallest good quality 9mm micro gun out there (Dimensionally it's almost the same as a Kahr PM9). It's a little different though, the trigger is very long and heavy similar to a DAO revolver. One of the benefits though is that it has an extended magazine that gives it the grip length of a Shield. I think I paid $380 with three magazines and factory night sights.

Speaking of HK clones, I want one of these real bad to SBR: http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/component/virtuemart/shipping-pistols/zenith-z-5p-9mm-pistol-detail.html?Itemid=0 Although I don't know how they can justify $1700 for one. It would be hard to pay that vs. $600-$700 for a modern CZ Scorpion.

The Rat posted:I have one of these (pics in the box thread I linked a few pages ago) and honestly if it weren't for the mag ban here in CO, I'd prefer a CZ scorpion Evo or a Sig MPX at a fraction of the price. And those two lock open on empty. Yeah, realistically the best option right now seems to be to grab a Scorpion pistol for like $600-$700 or whatever and file a Form 1, then pop the stock on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyGj1CXZOwg&t=27s The Magpul stock + Scorpion SMG  or this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkunPln3piQ Flying_Crab fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Feb 25, 2017 |

not caring here posted:Yeah, it's not the best feeling in the world not having your firearm function correctly. Yeah, my Kahr CW380 had to go back to the factory 4 times before it would function right. At least on the last time they gave me $60-$70 worth of free magazines. Such a great little gun when reliable, although I'd have a hard time buying one of their products again. On top of that my SIG P290RS had a dead front night sight while my S&W M&P 9c had a front sight that was loose and slowly drifting off the gun. All three of these guns had these issues in the same month.

So apparently the ATF reversed their stance on shouldering pistol braces magically making the weapon into an unregistered NFA device. In theory now this pistol or similar weapons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4n50Kcfrfc can be legally fired from the shoulder.

Are you using the issued harness? I got an Ops-Core harness from RFI and that poo poo owns. If I lost it and I were still in I'd probably pay the $65 or whatever for the stability and comfort especially when NVG are mounted.

I have an M&P compact and the slide lock is somewhat hard to manipulate if you're using it wrong to drop the slide. Just slingshot it.
