General Gun Discussion / Beretta Leaving Maryland After Gov. Mandates Strict Gun Control Laws

Beretta Leaving Maryland After Gov. Mandates Strict Gun Control Laws



Quote
One thing you can say with absolute certainty about the big gun manufacturers is that, unlike many other American companies, they stand by their principles and are as good as their word. Beretta, which is the world’s oldest firearms manufacturer, promised that, if Maryland passed its strict (and almost certainly ineffectual) post-Sandy Hook gun control laws, Beretta would pack its bags and leave the state.

On Friday, Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley signed into law the state’s comprehensive new gun control laws. The new laws, the stated purpose of which is to “save lives,” ban some “assault weapons” (whatever the heck gun grabbers think those imaginary weapons are), limits magazine capacity to ten rounds, and requires mandatory fingerprinting for gun purchase.

Rifles & Shotguns / Re: Got my Steyr AUG in

What sling did you go with?

Urban ERT - the only sling I will ever use. Previously had one for an MSAR AUG... On my PS90 and the PS90 I sold, as well as a CX4 Storm I once had.

I also ordered a GG&G rail attachment for the front point, and will use the rear swivel on the stock for the rear attachment point.

I learned from my MSAR AUG i previously had  that if you use the included front attachment point, it interferes with the charging handle. But, I love 2 point slings. I am doing what I did on that old MSAR... My ownb work around....

I am bringing the sling down on the right from a quick detach point, and then let it go down between the trigger guard and the front grip - THEN it hooks to the main sling. I am getting URBAN ERT to sew a few extra inches to the quick detach piece so I can accomplish this before it connects to the wider part of the sling....

While in my safe, I usually leave the sling off. And, with the front quick detach piece, I won't have anything handing down off the front of the gun when the sling is not on it. May be hard to picture, but I'll show a photo of it when I am done. I did it before...

My optic, spotting scope, sling and sling rail attachment are all on their way. Got my aftermarket charging handle in yesterday.

All that will be left (once I get everything) will be more mags in the future....

Ammunition / Re: Opinion on Independance 5.56?
« on: Yesterday at 05:46:07 AM »
Well, I have like 120 rounds of WWB 5.56. I used that before when I had an MSAR AUG... and its decent And, I have 60 rounds of Independence.

So, I am good. But, thanks for the offer!! I appreciate it.

I was going to use the WWB to zero.

I will do a final zero with 223 TAP whenever I can actually get some. That's what I used previously - kept it in a mag for self defense rounds the last time.

But, I guess I won't buy anymore independance stuff then.

Ammunition / Opinion on Independance 5.56?
« on: May 20, 2013, 10:43:09 PM »
Hey, with the new AUG I just got, I'm trying to acquire 5.56 ammo.

How does Independence 5.56 ammo stack up to say - the 5.56 WWB that WalMart sells? The same quality? Less? Crappy ammo?

Citrus County gunslinger hits target quickly, blind



Quote
When I first started I was hitting about 25 percent of the time," Miekka said. "Now I think I’m hitting about 80 percent or something like that.”

Sure you have to hit the target, but your speed is important too and Miekka can do it all in about a half a second. That’s considered a very, very good fast draw.

D.C. man won’t face gun charges for shooting pit bull attacking boy


Quote
Authorities last week made an agreement not to prosecute a Northwest D.C. man who used his unregistered handgun to kill a pit bull in order to stop it from mauling a child in his neighborhood.

Handguns and Revolvers / Re: I want a gun that doesn't exist

I want a Beretta 92 style 45 ACP.

If SIG can finally make a double stack 45 ACP version of the 226 (the 227) then Beretta can think up a way.

Not gonna happen. Word has always been that the locking block and slide would have to be beefed up enough to make the gun very wide... In order to handle 45.

With the Cougar and PX4 in 45, probably will never see it.

Hell, I'd love to see a 9mm FN PS90  :P

Had a 44 mag Ruger Blackhawk. Thought it might be nice to have something that would vaporize bears. 6 shots later my wrists felt like I was stopping a full power swing from Mark McGwire. Sold about a month later.
geez…I've never shot a .44mag

At one time, I considered a Ruger Alaskan in 44, but I was gonna only shoot 44 special. Honestly< I've never shot 44 secial, but I figured it's gotta be noticeably less than a full 44 mag round  :thinker:

44 special is to a 44 magnum as a 38 special is to a 357 magnum. Hence to say; greatly reduced muzzle flip, recoil, and flash.




That's what I figured...

However, doesn't matter now. Now that I reshuffled the deck on my Berettas and basically swapped a PS90 for a Steyr AUG, I'm back on new gun Hiatus.

I joined facebook at 1 time to find an old high school friend. Now, I just use it to keep up with coupon codes and concert dates. Nothing else.

As for Twitter and all the others... Not my thing....

Optics, Lights, Lasers, & Accessories / What's everyone's favorite black rifle optic?

What's everyone's favorite black rifle optic?

I've tried using Aimpoints. No matter how low I turn them, I see a kidney bean instead of a "dot."

Eotechs are my favorite. The larger circle is so fast for me to pick up in CQC, and that 1 MOA dot is nice for longer shots.

I did just order a Mepro 21 Reflex sight with the triangle reticle. I borrowed one last week, and they fixed the wash out issue in the "Revision M" model compared to ones 3 years ago when I last tried one. MUCH better. I finally get something battery free. Been wanting that a while...

I did think about getting a Trijicon Accupoint 1-4x scope... But at around $900 + $150+ for a decent mount... It was sorta a bit too high.

What ones do ya'll like?

Very cool. I thought about getting one before I started selling off my 92 variants... But, in the end, I decided I just wanted to stick with 9mm. Too hard to start stacking up another caliber in these times...
