      Ambi-AR lowers: Aftermarket parts on Mil-Spec or Proprietary Lower?

      I'd spend the money on a proprietary ambidextrous lower, but not all "ambi" lowers have both a bold lock and bolt release options. Spend the extra money and go with one of the premium ones.

      Suppressed AR-308

      Are you running a carbine buffer and spring with the UBR stock? If so, might try an A5 buffer and spring system so you can get a heavier buffer than with a carbine buffer. Its only putting a band aid on the problem since 308 ARs are hard to suppress since they are ridiculously over gassed with...

      Trijicon rmr 3.25 moa vrs. 6.5 moa reticle?

      Going to come down to personal preference and also how much you shoot and train with a red dot. Both will serve you well so you really can't go wrong with either. From some people I've learned a few things from, often times people gravitate to larger dots when they're learning to use pistol...

      Best AR15 magazines?

      My personal favorites for serious use are Lancer, Magpul (both gen 2 and 3s), Brownells, D&H, and some old school OKAY ones. Only ones I've had a serious issue with were Tapco, picked up a couple when I was young and dumb and they're absolute garbage. I have a few other random brands, but...

      Opinions Please I know it’s INGO and so few have them

      I love my Les Baer. Just keep in mind, LB's different models are just a change in sights, grips, finish, size, but otherwise are the same gun. Fit on my LB is tight, it feels like one solid piece of metal when the slide is in battery. Keep them lubed and go shoot them and they'll be happy...

      .357 SIG...any one carry or shoot much anymore?

      357Sig is similar to 10mm in the fact that it was designed for "full power" loads not the watered down anemic loads which are usually what manufactures load their ammo for. 357Sig was designed to replicate 357 magnum velocities and energy from a 124/125 grain bullet in a semi auto firearms for...

      Mag choices for a Glock?

      IMO OEM mags only if it is for duty/self defense/home defense/carry/serious use, etc. I have some magpul ones that I haven't had any issues with, but I've heard enough people having issues with them to trust them for serious use. ETS are hit and miss, unless you just want a clear mag IMO your...

      Glock Slides for RDS?

      A couple of things to think about when getting into handgun RDSs. Unlike a RDS on a rifle, there is a much bigger learning curve on a handgun RDS due to less points on contact on the gun which often times makes people dislike the RDS on a handgun until they put in the training time and train...

      List of Indiana Gun Shops

      Pinnacle Firearms 598 West Carmel Drive Carmel IN 46032 Good group of guys in there. They are trying to make it more of an old school gun guys’ place versus the usual Tupperware stores. I’ve bought a couple of used guns they have and done a FFL transfer in there too. And they just got their...

      Need info...Custom Finishes on pistols....Cerakote or others

      I just recently had a gun Cerakoted, and if it’s done right it seems to be a good (and very popular) finish. Although it is a finish that is placed on top of the metal, there are other finishes (nitride, hard hat, ion bond etc) which are a metal treatment and actually hardens the metal and...

      .308 in Bergara b-14 HMR or Remington 700

      Recent Remington IMO isn’t worth buying. I personally like and have Savage as a budget bolt action rifle. I’ve heard good things about Bergara recently, just haven’t spent the money for one yet. Just depends on how much you want to spend.

      Truglo sights???

      I have TFXs on my EDC 1911 and my wife’s Glock, get the FTX or TFX Pro not the TFOs though. While they aren’t extremely fine/small precision sights they’re a good carry sight IMO. Either gun I have them on is more accurate than I am so unless you’re not used to a three dot sight setup I wouldn’t...

      Pinnacle Firearms in Carmel

      Due to my own laziness and the ridiculous amount that I sweat, I had gotten some pretty decent rusting issues on the slide of my EDC 1911, a Kimber Custom II two tone. Long story short, I took it into Pinnacle Firearms in Carmel since I knew they had recently gotten their Cerakote setup...

      AR pistol upper 11.5 or 12.5?

      Two advantages to the 12.5 over the 11.5: longer dwell time and slightly more velocity. Both are good reasons to me to go with the 12.5. More dwell time will theoretically give you a slight edge in reliability since the bullet in in the barrel slightly longer which gives the gasses a bit more...

      Does Anyone Make A Military Grade Hi-Power (P-35) Anymore?

      I believe they are still working on Hi Powers if the customer supplies the gun, but they’re not selling their own new guns since they can’t get new production frames. I wonder if they’d be willing to do work on any clones.

      AR's late to the party.

      Short answer is no not all lowers are created equal but they all do the same thing. To some extent you get what you pay for, and there is a point of diminishing returns. Whether or not it is "worth it" is an individual question and evaluation. Just my $0.02, but cheaper lowers like...

      suppressor host

      https://www.remington.com/handguns/model-1911-r1/1911-r1-tactical-double-stack-threaded If you already own a Para, I believe Reminton bought out Para and this might take the Para mags. Closest thing I could think of with what you’re wanting. Although Remington and Para mags aren’t exactly known...

      ATI FX 1911

      I wouldn’t. You get what you pay for, and you can’t build a decent 1911 for $300 like you can for polymer striker fired guns

      Glock 20SF

      Lone Wolf, Storm Lake, and KKM all come to mind for aftermarket Glock barrels and usually have options for either factory length or longer if that’s what you’re wanting. And I believe they will give you a fully supported chamber unlike the factory barrel which you’ll want for full power reloads.

      I had a day

      Yes you can mix and match the G45 ang 19X slides and frames since they are essentially the same gun. There’s even YouTube proof of this working I haven't tried it but from what I’ve read (online, which is never wrong ) is that you cannot mix 19 and 17 barrels and slides. I think it was...
