  1. I wanted to know how much my conceal carry guns weigh loaded. Isn't the loaded weight what counts? If you want to tell us about your weapon here are some guidelines. Name your weapon and tell us how many rounds are included in the weight. Please be safe if you choose to participate. If you weigh the weapon unloaded please include the magazine. I'll start Glock 19 loaded 15 + 1 (147 grain HST) is 33oz. y7e9agu4.jpg Glock 26 loaded 10 + 1 (147 grain HST) is 29oz. S&W 642 Airweight with 5 rounds is 19oz. Ruger LCR with 5 rounds is 17oz.

  2. Yes, but you'd end up with more of a "temple" weld than a "cheek" weld. :P Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using technology and stuff

     

    You are so right.  I have the Vortex Sparc, which is very similar, on a high riser and it's perfect on the AR platform. 

     

    I have another Votex Sparc, in the mount presented in the AIM configuration, working for me on my AK on a side mount.

    Another good AK mount choice is Midwest Industries http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=421

  3. I purchased their "mostly complete upper". The hand guards and BCG were not included. I upgraded the barrel and flash hider so I feel my configuration needed some work before shipping. I placed the order on Monday and it arrived via USPS on Thursday. Masdefense exceeded my expectations. I will shop with them again.

  4. I have my AR15 pistol lower and looking to buy a MAS Defense 10.5" upper.  My question is how much more concussion will I feel coming from a 10.5" over a 16" barrel?  How much more will other shooters at the line experience?

    Am I making more out of shorter barrel concussion due to lack of knowledge than I should?

     

    I want to make the best decision on a muzzle device to limit the concussion to me and if possible to other shooters at the line.  If you have any suggestions on style or device for a 10.5" barrel I would appreciate it.

     

    Some sites suggested something like this.

  5. Maybe we are "brandwashed". My wife loves the Taurus PT92. I like it too, but I want to sell it to make room and she won't let me. On the other hand if it keeps her shooting its the best firearms investment I have made.
  6. Why?

     

    That is what I want to know. Not why he did it, but why we don't know anything about the shooter. James Holmes attacked the Aurora theatre and we knew there was an unrelated car from the state of Tennessee in the parking lot.  Why is this story dropping to the bottom on every news site?  Another school attack is a big deal so I ask again.  Why?  :tinfoil:

  7. Anyone have any thoughts on group sites? I need to book a campground in E. TN for Scout trip with Webelos and Troop that can handle 50 boys. Fall creek Falls and Big SothFork are booked. Any suggestions?


    FrozenHead state park. They have back country group camping. The have rustic group camping which is vehicle accessible with sites side by side and a creek runs next to each site.

    Here is a pic of camp site #1. The other seven look the same.

  8. The number you are looking for is the 26. It's 10+1 and 4 inches in height. The G19 is 4.5 inches and carries 15+1. I alternate between the two based on clothing and the perceived need for firepower.

    Or go "Custom" and cut a 19 to 26 grip size......Glock 26 L :D


    I hope this isn't off topic, but I think we have addressed the G19 vs 92 question for concealed carry. I don't see much difference for home defense. To expand on your statement my backup magazine when carrying a G26 is not the 10 + 1 G26 magazine. It is the 15 + 1 G19 magazine since they are interchangeable. It's the G26L. :)

  9. Well, just like the title says... Which would be better for concealed carry/all around defense? Pros and cons of each? (I'm new to the handgun world)



    glock, but both are fairly large and fat for concealment. 92 is meant for open carry by military/police, its huge. Glock makes a smaller, more conceal friendly pistol, I mix the numbers up though but 19 is mid sized.
