Thinking about going Saturday. I haven't been to one in the new location and wonder if it's worth the price of admission.

Having spent time with a USP 9 with a match trigger, if I was starting from scratch I'd pick up either the USP9 expert or the USP9 tactical instead. Both come with match triggers.

The p365 hasn't been on my radar at all to be honest, but after holding on today at the NRA show it definitely got my attention. That capacity in such a small package was pretty cool.

Donated to the ILA and renewed our memberships

Are you able to tell how the gas block is attached? Looking forward to a range report.

Very nice!

There's a lot of good options out there nowadays. One combo that hasn't been brought up yet is the P30sk and P30L pair. Being able to get them in either da/sa or LEM combined with HK's reliability makes them an attractive option.

Thanks Ronald!

I've got an older Savage model 116 I'm trying to identify and determine a value for. It is a pre-accutriger model with an internal box magazine. It has a wooden stock and a stainless barrel. Any help would be much appreciated.

Maybe keep an eye out for a used LMT MWS

I haven't used any of their 7.62 mags yet but their 5.56 translucent mags have been 100% reliable. It was my understanding that the Lancer mags followed the same sr25 magazine pattern as the magpul pmags. I may be wrong on this though.

Currently I think one of the best values is going to be LWRCI's new DI rifle. I've seen them for 1099. For that price you're getting a upper tier rifle for around mid tier pricing. BCM and Daniel Defense also put out a very good product at a reasonable price. Depending on who you talk to, Colt's quality control has gone downhill recently. What is your budget?

May I ask why? I've got a SSA in my 16" ar and I really like it. I don't think I'd want to go any lighter (ssa-e) on anything that may be used for self defense though. FWIW, the sd-c is a SSA with a flat trigger and the sd-e is a SSA-E with a flat trigger.

I'm looking for a good honest mechanic/shop in the Murfreesboro area. I just relocated to the Bell Buckle area and an looking for someone to work of late model gm and toyota vehicles. I think I'd like to try independent shops for a change and stay out of dealerships. Thanks

All of this, it was a much better facility. I was glad to see Gray Guns is going to start selling drop in parts to reduce the reset on HK's p-series. MCX owners might be glad to know that Geissele is developing a SSA variant for the updated bolt carriers.

Twice now I've inquired about buying a gun from the same local dealer and they've told me the address on my drivers license has to match current address on file with tdot. They've said this is an ATF requirement. I've moved several times in the last few years and have always kept my address updated but never asked for updated licenses. I've never been told this by another dealer and it hasn't kept me from purchasing elsewhere. Have rules changed or is the dealer just being strict?

No, my dad got sick a few weeks ago and we decided to postpone the trip. Thanks to all for the tips though, we're going to plan on attending the night race in a few months.

Very cool guns and story to go with them. Nice score!

With the spring race coming up in a few weeks I'm thinking of planning a trip up to watch. I'd like to take my dad to celebrate his recent retirement. He hasn't been since the 70's and I've never been. Any advice on where to park, sit etc would be appreciated. Also do you walk through metal detectors or get wanded?

It's my understanding that you're to have your permit on you at all times when carrying. I'd be patient and wait til it comes in the mail. I renewed mine last month and had a new permit in the mail 2 weeks later. Welcome to the forum by the way.

I was disappointed in Rick when the trash people turned, c'mon man! But then Carl went into badass mode and restored my faith.

Have you tried a good gun belt? It makes a big difference.

Thought about going, but like others have said, not big on crowds. Especially without my little buddy on my hip. Instead I took the day off work to watch it on TV. Then me and the misses may go to the range afterwards.

Yes the USP45c is slightly shorter in barrel length, however the slide is very blocky. The grip dimensions are pretty much identical and they use the same magazine. The hk45c on the other hand has a longer sight radius and the slide has its edges "melted" in all the right areas so much so that it carries much easier for me. A common complaint for the hk45c is that the grip is slippery when firing the gun. Rubberized talon grips fix this and really makes the hk45c a pleasure to shoot. I found the hk45c to be a bit more accurate for me. I've owned both and quickly sold the usp. At the end of the day the usp didn't do anything better than the hk45c for me and the hk45c carries better.
