When I dried fired it the one time at the dealer it felt about 4-6.

That isn't from the Pro shop at Springfield Armory was it??
I know of a couple of private builders that machine the slides and stuff. Not sure if I like this for tactical/combat reasons, but for competition it is pretty sweet.

that is why I am not getting a ported barrel, just a guide rod, spring,and that light keeps it steady too.

You can upgrade with either the combat trigger job, or the competition trigger job both at the pro shop from springfield armory. Gotta ship 'em your piece and wait though.

GSWITCH33

You can actually buy em like that from the dealer. They are limited quanity.

40 cal the way to go

jstuntlocke

Dude, put your purse down and buy the 45!!

john3/1

i like 45's, when i joined the marine corps 10yrs ago we stilled used them and got rid of them and went to a berreta 9mm, because 45's to much killing power, marine corps went to smaller weapon to just stop the enemy so we could gather intel, but 40's are great, just wouldn't buy a 9mm fo sho

GSWITCH33

I hate 9mm. But my friend that is in Iraq has been buying guns like a mad man since he gets a discount. So he is pickin up a 9mm for me to trade for my paintball gun. As long as I dont have to pay for it, I'll take one!

there ok i was in iraq twice i was a grunt i used one shot a guy 15 times in the chest of course he was hopt up on adrenaline the drug i emptyed a hole mag in his chest before he fell thats when i knew i would never buy one

john3/1

an of course im not in the corps anymore because some jackass iraqi returned the favor two in my shoulder now im just collecting benefits.

GSWITCH33

Ive heard to many stories like that about 9mm's. Good for target practice but not so much so for general self defense.

john3/1

yea not very much knock down power

GSWITCH33

I've always wanted one around for screwing around with. But I cant get myself to spend money on one.

john3/1

definitely good choice with the 40 wished the marine corps would use those or go back to the 45's, all special ops units use 45's like kimber or sig

jstuntlocke

Yea, aaaabout the purse comment.....ha ha
No seriously man, sorry to hear about the way you left the corps. Are you fully recovered, or is your shoulder still not 100%? Hope they take care of you if it is still f'd up.


My buddy has a SA XD40 I have shot it, and I like it too. he keeps it in his purse....No J/k


I just was going off alont time ago, I spine shot a doe with my A3 tactical carbine, and tried to finish her with two 40's from a ruger p90 or somethin'(my friends, former 82nd airborne) to the head. I came back 1 hour later and she was still with it, I had to cut her throat. Gamey tasting venison from that one for sure, good for only sausage, and jerkey. but anyways that was after one 5.56 to the spine, and one 40 in the ear, and another in the eye. My only time that I called on a 40 to do it's duty, and that was my experience... as for the 5.56 well, try to take my ar-15 from me, I dare you....

GSWITCH33

You missed the head and shot its ear and eye


Please dont ever shoot me, youll make me blind and def.

john3/1

yea i get payed for life, 100% full range of motion im good now had to pick up something dangerous so i started stunting....lol, i wish the marines could afford to get better weapons but it will never happen, there is a weapon called a sr-25 awesome uses a 7.62 looks just like a m-16 but more effective

GSWITCH33

Does anyone know if the Romanian AK-47 is a good gun or not? I have a romanian SKS and I dont care for it to much, to many mecanical problems with it. But they have a AK-47 at the gun shop with folding stock and large red dot scope for $375. It was at $475 but its on clearance now.
