Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.

Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?

Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

they made a few native 45ACP in the 30s and conversion cylinders since then. This a Talo 'exclusive' the Wiley Clapp SAA in 45ACP that were made in the custom shop. My dealer does a ton of colt work and offered it to me for a great price.

I'm thinking about getting another .40, this one purely for competition shooting. Need something with a long barrel that is easily capable of being tricked out with optics, better trigger, magwell and perhaps even a compensator. Finalists are XD Tactical, XDM with the 5.25" barrel, or the Glock 35. Actually leaning toward the Glock - I don't really care for the XD and the XDm is much more expensive.

I want to end up with something like this, only in a 35.

115 gr fmj 9mm for $0.29 per round - http://www.slickguns.com/product/pmc...ds-dry-box-499

Good 9mm price. It's too bad I've spent around $900 on 9mm, 223, and 5.45x39 in the last month. Wife has me on lock down from ammo purchases for a while.

While perusing various mods I found a thread on the XD forum about painting in gun engraving and decided to give it a try. Basically you use fingernail polish, let it dry and them wipe off the excess with non-acetone polish remover. The white worked like a charm - the red was a bit more of a pain - worked okay on the S&W, but the engraving isn't as deep on the XDm and it didn't take at all - had to switch to all white (I might try going with red model paint instead if I do this again). But it came out pretty good. I'm not going to do this to my 1911, but definitely the AR. Note - pictures are blurry because of the camera phone - lines are much crisper than they appear.

Looks good. I don't know if I'll try it on any firearms, but I have a few other things I'm going to try it on.

does anyone have a glock 27 that they would let go of? I would like to try it out and if I like it, buy it.

I took the class this past Saturday...it was good. It got a little long-winded at times, but I guess you can't really help that because of all the law details you have to cover. The range qualification was extremely easy. We shot from 7 yards away. I'm a Missouri resident so I had to qualify with a revolver and a semi-auto...I just rented one of their .22 revolvers for $10.

Most people did just fine at the range, though there was an older guy there (probably in his 70's) shooting a .45 of some sort. He was having trouble controlling it at first, but ended up qualifying just fine.

All-in-all it was a good class and I'd recommend it for KC-area people.

Are ammo prices coming down? I just need some bird shot and 30-06.

I still cant find 22lr at a decent price. My friend did give me a 500 brick of CCI MIMI MAGS for free.
Ya me

OK I know they're donkey lovers but here's a link to the donation page of one of the groups running the CO recall campaigns.

I tossed some money their way even though I don't live in CO. Hell if you slam these people down maybe they'll think twice. Stand together or fall apart!

Frazod · 08-24-2013, 06:21 PM

Since the game is fairly depressing to this point.....

Here's my XDm, with added grip tape and filled in engraving.

I like the engraving, but I'm not sure about the tape. While I like the feel of it, it looks a little cheesier IRL than I thought it would. They offer it in dark gray or black - I may switch it out. Thoughts?

I think it looks kickass. Nice job

Thanks. I used regular model paint for the red instead of the finger nail polish, which just didn't cut it. That I'm very pleased with.
