Nice.

Here is my go-to small revolver, the 360PD in scandium so it's super light with a crimson trace grip:

It's a great little gun, and defensive loads in .357 are very manageable with my rubber grip. It's much more enjoyable to shoot compared to my Sig P938.

I need to upgrade the front sight on mine.

I'd love to shoot a revolver! Never had the pleasure. I've never been big on ARs. OG M14s are kinda cool though. Not the done uo mall ninja stuff. I had a pistol and sold it. I took it to the range twice and sold it. I've been itching to get a CZ75 though. It's my dream gun.
I currently have one gun... it's a 1911 Mauser. 6.5x55. Shoots like a BB gun, deadly as hell. I have little to no gun experience except a bb gun and was able to hit whatever I wanted to with it, within reason. It isn't me, the gun is THAT good! It's really fun to shoot. The sound and feel of the bolt action is pretty satisfying as well. I've only fired 40 rounds through it since it was passed down to me. I haven't shot it since 2011. These things aren't expensive. A good one will go for 300 bucks. Pick one up if it's your kinda thing.

This is the 3 Gun competition version of the M2. Basically this one is tuned from the Benelli performance shop for 3 gun competition. bigger charging handle and bolt release, smoother action, enlarged magazine opening for double and quad loading, spare shell holder at the ejection port as well as more stuff.....

I've got an M1, M1014 and Ultra Light, so right now my next purchases from Benelli are this one and a Super Sport. I always wanted an M3, so I might try to find one of those too, they are much cheaper as well.

Here's a video if you have some time:

I have an M1014, so the M4 is covered. If you can, I would try to find an M1014 instead of the M4. Fixed choke and better gas system... plus limited numbers and really cool laser engraved US flag on the receiver.

So I have an AR-10 (not an AR308) that I've been kind of sitting on for a long, long time. This is a "B Series" Armalite pattern Noveske N6 build. Back when I bought it, complete uppers were very hard to find and the AR308's by DPMS were just coming on the scene that used their own mags and were not AR10 patterned lowers.

I have a 24" heavy target upper on it, but have wanted something shorter for a long time, this one is a heavy son of a bitch... So I got a hair up my ass yesterday and started looking around. Fuck... Armalite has all but stopped making any "B Series" uppers and components. This is the shit that has been around since the AR-10 was invented... They have jumped ship to the polymer magazine setup and DPMS AR308 types, or their new "A Series".

Anyway, googling for hours to find an upper, I was just going to find the parts to build one, but I stumbled on a site that claimed to have some B series stock. Sent and email and 1 minute later I had a reply with a phone number. Called the guy and got this 18" upper that MSRPs at $1499 for $1100. Shipping out today and I should have it in ~5 days:

Went night shooting tonight. Learned a few things that I should have already known.

1) shooting one handed sucks
2) using a flashlight with non dominant hand sucks
3) the more I shoot my shield the more it sucks
4) I need a bigger pistol for the range or else it sucks
5) shooting at night is hard and that sucks

One answer for all points: You just need more practice.

#4: Do you mean physical size, or caliber?

Yes I 100% need more range time. I only have around 600 rounds through the pistol. And thats 600/700 pistol rounds in my entire life.

4) The physical size of the pistol is too small for excessive shooting at the range. I need to get proficient with the pistol as it will be my edc eventually. But for the range it can be a bit boring. The constant magazine changing and reloading on the tiny single stacks is annoying. I want something that will be a bit more fun for target shooting and range play.

That's a shame. It's a fine gun. Why hate it?
