What’s your favorite pew pew you picked up this past year? Gotta say as far as pistols it would have to be the CZ Shadow 2 Compact I got from Brownells back in the Spring.

Full-sized handgun vs. micro-PDW. When would you carry each one?

Post image
Upvotes

Advantages/disadvantages?
I was watching some BrassFacts videos about the PDW concept, but he mainly talks about it vs a rifle setup. What about a concealed PDW vs. a full sized handgun?

What scenarios do you think each are most appropriate? Which is more useful?

Question Hey! So I got a question, I live in MN and I was thinking about getting a firearm to go to the range with some friends and also to have as a home defense. But just noticed something on my lease.

So I just noticed in my lease for the place im renting it says No firearms allowed on the property. Thought in MN landlords cant say you're not allowed to own firearms? Just wondering if I should go ahead and do so anyways or what.

Thinking of buying a Rifle

I own S&W handguns, was thinking of getting M&P15 sportIII. Possibly keeping it in the S&W family…

Any other recommendations under 1000$?

General Discussion I left this rail hand guard sitting in my car for years and it developed a yellowish tint from the sun hitting it.

Question So I was told to look for a notch on my Grandpa's Model 30 to indicate it could accept stripper clips. Is this the right notch?

Just got this from my grandfather's estate, I never saw it before and don't know anything about it. It has a serial number on it but no branding that I can see. It also has the year 1955 on the barrel. Attached fold out Bayonette. And it looks like it can be loaded from the bottom. But I don't have any clip, and I'm not sure if it could take a clip. Thanks I'm advance.

Question What are some personal "policies" you go by now that you have experience with firearms?

90 Upvotes

I'm not talking the safety rules or things of that nature. I mean things that you do/don't do after dealing with firearms and all they entail for a few months, years, or decades. Here's a couple of mine:

  1. I always check around for the price online now to make sure it is at least reasonable before purchasing. Used to be I'd just think "That seems fair." Later I'd find out I kind of got hosed.

  2. I don't buy the one on display. If I'm going to pay for a new gun then I want a brand spankin' new one, not one that dozens of people have finger banged, dropped the slide empty, dropped the entire thing, disassembled and reassembled (poorly), and so on. I've bought displays before and they were fine, but decided awhile ago if they don't have more in the back, I'm probably going to pass.

Got the new .300 blk Henry Supreme. Manual says it takes a Weaver 63 scope base. Not finding much online about that - does Weaver 63 convert to Picatinny?

Post image

Not new to the gun world but never bought anything that doesn’t already have a scope base/picatinny, and this is my first lever. Henry’s manual for the supreme says it takes a Weaver 63. There are (2) sets of (2) screws where the base would mount, and they’re about 3.5” apart from centerline of each set.
