  1. sold to snaveba pending meetup Thanks
  2. This was purchased and built by myself a few years back. The first time at the range, it would fire maybe 2-3 times and not go into battery. I had to use the forward assist. I looked and the charging handle seemed to be binding, they sent me a new one and its still does the same thing. I am thinking it may be an issue with the upper, but just won't mess with this one anymore, PSA lower, 223/556. It may take very little to get this one right, but it may be more than that. Durkin Tactical seems to be responsive to warranty issues, but I just don't want to dissemble the gun again, so I'm trying to pass it on cheaply for the guy who can fix it. $350
  3. Canik TP9SFX MOS. This originally came with the Vortex viper red dot, but I used the red dot on another gun. This is unfired just as it came from the factory. It was an impulse purchase and I shot a friends and just did not connect with this one. $500.00
  4. Sorry guys, I'm a bit slow today, its 357 magnum...Lots of fun with 38 but with full power 357 mag, not great for these hands with arthritis. LOL
  5. This is a great shooter grade, I purchased it a few months back and just am not a wheel gun guy, selling for other interests. 6 Shot cylinder, 2.75" barrel. I am in Bartlett TN, suburb of Memphis. Prefer FTF meeting with permit flash. Thanks $500.00
  6. I go to range USA formerly Shoot Point Blank here in Memphis. They have had several sales where they sell the used range guns. I know most of the employees by sight there and have been told by some employees to stay away from certain former rentals as they knew more about the history and round count on them. Most of the more common 9mm carry options were really used a great deal and the price difference was not good enough to take a chance. Those guns really take a beating. Sometimes a rare one doesn't get used much because of its popularity and those may be good bets, but most are really, really used guns.....
  7. I have both a 20 and a 29 in Glock 10mm. They both are fun to shoot, so I decided to try some full power rounds, I purchased the Buffalo Bore heavy bullets. In the 20, they were fine, just a bit snappy. In the 29, they were downright uncomfortable for these old arthritic hands. After we shot those two, we shot the 357sig glock with standard ammo. It was also very snappy with standard ammo. I had some Buffalo Bore for that one two, but myself and my son in law decided to not try the 357 sig in Buffalo Bore since the pistol was almost uncomfortably snappy with standard ammo. Decided not to keep the 357 sig, it was just too uncomfortable, but do on occasions carry the 29, mainly in the winter where I have more clothes to conceal. That was my experience, your mileage may vary!
  8. I live in Memphis and go to the Jackson gun show, the shows here in Memphis are worthless unless you want to pay a buck a round for ordinary ammo, or 1500 plus for a cheaply built AR, Saw one dealer here in Memphis selling PSA builds for around 12-1500 dollars with a cheap 40 dollar red dot, seems he was pretty busy, WOW..Jackson does seem to have a good selection of guns and ammo, also from time to time, they seem to have some really nice collectible knives like Randalls and the like...I think its a very worthwhile show, but who knows what happens from show to show.
  9. Range day for me is a combo of 380, 9mm and 10mm. In the summer, I carry a Ruger LCP because it fits in my pocket easily. In the winter, I will carry a sub compact 9mm or the smaller Glock 10mm, which has become my favorite gun lately. In the summer, Im too small a guy to conceal the 10mm or 9mm and found myself not carrying a lot, so that's why I got the LCP, its easy to carry and always with me. Love a little 45 action at the range also.
  10. Its now back on its way to be repaired, the day I used it, I really liked the mini red dot. On my shorty 300BO, I have an Eotech with multiplier. For some strange reason, I cannot seem to hit anything using that, but my son in law is quite accurate with it. But even he preferred the mini red dot to the eotech. He said the dot was so much crisper and easier to pick up and aim with, even with the brightness turned down the eotech seems to be always a bit fuzzy, probably just my old eyes, LOL.
  11. No answers here yet, but I decided to answer my own question for those interested. I just purchased a Wilson Combat Protector AR pistol in 223/556. I wanted to try it out and I got a riser for the Vortex Viper to install it. Took it to the range a few days ago and the combo worked beautifully. Both my Son-In-Law and myself found ourselves hitting the target with more precision and consistency than we could with my other AR pistol, Daniel Defense PDW with Eotech sights. The Viper mini red dot is tiny compared to the Eotech, but the dot is super crisp and clear. The Eotech seem to always be somewhat fuzzy, even with brightness turned down. We both preferred the Vortex Viper and agreed its a good union. But, the rest of the story. I carry both my PDW and DDM4PDW to the range in a soft bag. Seems when I finished at the range, I loaded both guns in the soft case and zipped it up. With all the ammo we carry in the case, its likely a 60-70 pound bag to haul around, it's really heavy, especially for this old man. Any way when I got home and decided to clean the guns the next day, I pulled out the Wilson with the Vortex and the glass was shattered. Seems the guns were loaded sights down and me probably dropping the bag on the floor shattered the glass. Of course the Eotech was fine, probably would be fine if I drove my car over it....So, the mini red dots are workable on an AR platform, especially a pistol, but beware how you load and handle the soft gun bags, because the mini red dots aren't near as rugged as the Eotech. Lesson Learned the hard way....sight was sent back to Vortex today for repair, will be more careful in the future. By the way, I own several Daniel Defense ARs and have been a fan of Daniel Defense, the only issue I have with them is for the money, they should have a decent trigger. Several of mine have upgraded triggers, a Geissele 3 gun in one and a rise armament rave 140 in another. The Wilson Combat is their stock trigger. We had several people at the range shooting all the guns and over 75% preferred the Wilson Combat trigger over any of the others. I was impressed at the quality and fit and finish of the Wilson Combat AR Pistol, so if you are considering one, you will likely be pleased. I was not even looking at the Wilson for purchase until the store offered me a deal I couldn't refuse, so I took it home. I will likely be purchasing more in the future.
  12. Also a cheap red dot I have used on many cheaper builds is the Ohuhu, I usually purchase them on eBay for around 25 bucks, I have one that has been on probably 5-8 guns and has performed really well. Because of my old eyesight, I seem to be Able to do better with those than my eotech as far as hitting the target.Ozark also makes a few weapon lights that I have used over last few years and none have failed me yet, definitely not high end, but they work and they are cheap.
  13. I believe you are right that they advertise lifetime warranty, but if you have ever had to deal with the products that are made in China, most of the times the customer service is a crapshoot.
  14. I have used them on several cheaper builds, mostly PSA ars, and I have been overall impressed with the quality and function for the money. Have used flip ups, red dots and also a few of there flashlights. They are not the best quality compared to the higher end names, but they are super cheap and have always functioned well for me.
  15. I'm in the process of building or purchasing an ultralight Ar 15 pistol and was considering sight options. The Ar will be 10-11 inch range with most likely SBA3 brace. I just happen to have a vortex viper laying around, new and unused. Just wondering what the opinion was on using this on the AR platform, most likely 223/556. I have an Eotech with magnifier on my other ar pistol and seem to have issues being consistent with hitting the target. I'm guessing its my old eyes as my son in law has no issues being consistent with the Eotech. This build, I'm focusing on something ultralight, hopefully sub 5 pound range with sight. I won't be shooting anything past 100 yards and most likely not more than 50 yards, mainly a range toy... I was considering a high rise mount with the Vortex Viper and trying that since I have the red dot laying around unused and its super light. Anyone with some experience here, let me know your thoughts. As always, appreciate your helpful input and comments...
  16. Thats still about an hour from me and currently I'm not traveling much. My wife and traveling partner has three broken bones in her foot, so traveling is off for now. We are usually headed to Gatlinburg at least 3-5 times a year, but looks like we will be home for a while now, I'm just on the wrong end of the state...
  17. Possibly, let me know what you got in PM. Thanks
  18. I'm definitely in the minority here, but I do like that. Always was a Glock Hater until about 3 months ago when a friend sold me his 45acp glock. I took it to the range and compared it to my Springfield custom 45acp and immediately liked the Glock better, which I did not want to do...I've put lots of money and time into the Springfield to get it to where it is, but seemed I could shoot better with the Glock and it was not near as punishing to my old bones as the Springfield. Since then, I have purchased another 4-5 Glocks and a new carry for me is a Glock 10mm...I guess that's what opinions and different guns are for. I have previously shot a few 10mm and they were quite snappy to me, but the Glock is just butter smooth and seems to work every time I pull the trigger. I am old, but sometimes I do change, LOL
