GeekHack: Pistol and Rifle - General Discussion and Picture Thread

[keyboardlover]

I wish I could live in a world without the need to carry a gun, a world without the need for protection, a world without crime, but thats illusory...
As things are, my best chance is to be "supreme" or in worst case at least equal in in power compared to criminals, and that means I have to carry a gun!

I couldn't agree more and thanks for sharing your story. I recently got my ccw license and haven't decided whether or not to actually carry daily yet. It's indeed a big responsibility.

[precarious]

I actually managed to pick up six boxes of 9mm at Walmart yesterday.  They had ~10 more boxes, but they were only selling so much per customer. ;{  10.99 or so for Tul ammo, 14-15 for Federal

[precarious]

I like it! It's like guns with keyboards instead of shoes with keyboards like they do at Reddit.

[Internetlad]

China doesn't allow civilians to own guns either. Want to know what the crime is for selling drugs is in China?

Execution.

China has exceedingly low drug and crime rates per capita.

The problem isn't that Americans own too many guns, it's that America's criminals are allowed to live.

How's that for an extremist stance?

[keyboardlover]

Well China's criminals are allowed to live too. Because people like you enable them to own guns so they can murder all the drug dealers.

In China, as in most modern countries, all the real criminals are very much free. The rest are created by the depressing statist societies and thrown in cages or shot. How civilized.

Competitive shooting is really fun. I got into 3-Gun last year, can't wait for it to start up again this April. What handgun were you using there?

Here's me shooting a 3 gun match a few months ago. This was before I got my Glock 17L, haven't had a chance to shoot that in competition yet.

[mmmty]

That looks like fun. I bet it's pretty hard to hit those moving targets.

I was shooting with CZ P01 at the match. I can't do 3 gun since all I have are pistols. I love to shoot steel targets. Too bad there aren't that many ranges with steel targets in my area. I'm planning to do steel challenge in a month or two.

Yeah, steel is definitely my favorite thing to shoot, I love the report from hitting it.

Just wanted to put this up for my fellow GH shooters. Shadow Ops is holding a group buy for a custom engraved lower for $150. I think there are about 1000 of them left. Copped one to put a Kojima Pro logo on it

[keyboardlover]

Cool. Do those have to transfer through an FFL?

[swagpiratex]

These have to go through FFL, as specified on the site.

Thank god I am stocked up on AR lowers for now, got them all before the panic so I dont have to scramble for any or pay these crazy prices people are paying.

That looks like fun ComradeSniper.... love the use of the AK ( what model is that) and also would love to shoot a F/A AR on a course like that.

Defintely 3-gun is something I would like to get into later on....

What was your score for that day? Looks like you got back your CZ P01, hows its it running now. You did better than I think I could do...

It's really fun, but just like keyboards, it takes away all your money  )

My AK is an M10-762. Got it a little over a year ago, runs great.

[keyboardlover]

Need moar pics!

[mmmty]

Yup, got my CZ back but still thinking about that custom one Took me a couple of weeks to get used to shooting w/ it again.

My score was decent - middle of the pack. I would have had better score if I could hit those longer shots. But I think I'm shooting faster than before at closer range, actually seeing the sights and getting 0's. Just keep practicing and you'll get better. But ammo is hard to find 

[ComradeSniper]

Sure thing, here's some shell caddies that I use for 3 gun.

I knew it looked familiar... had the same rifle, but unfortunately sold it before I could actually run it... Just like keyboards had to thin out the AK collection.

I do need to copy your camera and mount setup since it seems to work really well....

Currently I have:

- Century Polish 47 Underfolder
- Century M92 Krink Pistol

Sold - the M10 and Polish 74 Tantal earlier this year.

Wow, looks great. How unbalanced is that 74 with the sidefolder? I love triangle folders, I'm just afraid if I ever get one the gun will be even more frontheavy than it already is.

Its actually not that bad even with the Ultimak rail and optic installed.... probably one of myfavorite AK's... for a me a 74 should always comes with a triangle folding stock.. Sadly in california I not allowed to fold it in its current configuration 

Only AK i would probably like to get in the future is an AK74 Krink...

Good eye, yes that is a Bushnell TRS 25 on a ultimak rail, love that setup.... Also yes not a fan of not being able to remove the gastube for cleaning but just adapted my cleaning routine to take that into account.

Love how it cowitnesses the front sights with the TRS25....

Also any pics of that Krebs site, I was thinking of that or the TWS dog leg for my arsenal also??

Also added a temporary new sight to my Scar 17.. Elcan OS4x

[BucklingSpring]

Ok I got sick of waiting for the TRP. I canceled the order and used the the deposit to get a Ruger SR1911 instead.

The SR1911 is one nice .45 for the price. I'm glad I didn't spit 4 times its price for the TRP.

As I read in forums, not all SR1911 are the same. It worth to hand picked yours if the store allow you to do it.
Where I got mine, the guy allowed me to chose between 5 of them. I picked the one with the tightest slide.

But I have my eyes set on getting a nice Springfield TRP if I can.

So do I. Actually not just eyes... I ordered a spanking new SA TRP Stainless couple of weeks ago.
Unfortunately I have no ETA but the distributor said it may be this year... (Or not... Big sigh)

Dunno why Springfield Armory ships so few.

[mmmty]

I ordered my custom CZ Pro Tek a few days ago and they told me it will be ready in June. 

[Atakp]

I'm still waiting for an AI chassis in FDE to be back in stock somewhere...anywhere

[jpm804]

Any Pics?

Sig 1911 .22. Basically a GSG .22. Pretty good .22 pistol but I need to put new sights on it.

Looking good! I'm working toward a Mossberg 930 JM Pro right now, but after that I think I'm going to build an AR.

Sounds good, I do like the mossberg 930 SPX.... also probably no rush to start an AR build now especially with the panic, but it does seem like the panic is dying down a bit. And more parts are starting to show up more readily in the market...

Not unless you are in state where they are thinking of new laws then you might want to start sooner...

Sig 1911 .22. Basically a GSG .22. Pretty good .22 pistol but I need to put new sights on it.

I've heard those GSG's are nice.... hopefully it doesnt lead you to wanting a .45 1911...

Also how hard is it to find .22LR in your area?

[mmmty]

I've heard those GSG's are nice.... hopefully it doesnt lead you to wanting a .45 1911...

Also how hard is it to find .22LR in your area?

It's practically impossible to find .22 ammo here. I was lucky to get 6 boxes of 225 rds Remington at Walmart. The guy who sold to me probably didn't work in that dept since they were supposed to sell only 3 per boxes per customer.

My next gun is going to be a Sig 220. I like .45 1911 but I don't want to deal with safety. Sig 220 feels like a 1911 - single stack .45, 8 rds, double action/single action.

Did you do any more matches? How did you do??

[jpm804]

Sig 220 is nice, I want the combat version

Also I didn't do any matches with this ammo shortage not enough in reserves to practice and shot matches. Maybe when the ammo becomes more available.

Shooting rifle more lately and looking at some bolt actions since figure slower to shoot so don't waste as much ammo..hehehen
