The OR needs more pics.

[-rhino-]

Figured the OR needed a little gun pron. Picked up a TLR-1 for my M&P and snapped a couple shots.

Nice addition. I was thinking about buying a light for my Glock but those factory sights have to go 1st.

How are you liking the M&P?

How are you liking the M&P?

I like it a lot, ergo's are great, put close to 1000 rounds through it without a hiccup. Installed the apex sear/trigger kit and its a night and day difference over the stock trigger. The stock trigger wasnt bad, just a little gritty. Now its as good as I could ask for in a polymer gun.

I still like my Glocks as well, but the M&P is great IMO.

How does that light affect the weight distribution and felt recoil? Are you satisfied with the light spread and brightness?

Its actually pretty lightweight, the weight of a full mag offsets the weight of the light very well and feels balanced in hand.

I havent had a chance to put rounds downrange yet with the light (just got it last night) but i'm hoping to head to the range this weekend. I'll update if it has any effect on felt recoil.

As far as the brightness, this thing is freakin bright! Its rated at 135 lumens but seems a good bit brighter than that to me. The beam is a nice spotlight pattern that throws light a good distance, will easily light up a whole room or hallway. For ~100 bucks im more than happy with it.

Did somebody say gun porn?

^^ Nice pics man. What camera are you using?

[Mr.Goodtimes]

Nikon D3100 and a Nikkor 16-85 lense.

I bought the D3100 when I was in Chicago to get into digital photography. Turns out I really love it so I'm looking to make the D3100 sort of a smaller go anywhere camera (it's very portable for a DLSR) and upgrade to a full frame when Nikon releases their replacement for the D700. I'll either pick up the D700 replacement (if it's reasonably priced) or go with a used D700 body as they'll probably be pretty cheap at that point. For lenses I'm going to go with a Nikkor 20mm F2.8 prime and the Nikkor 28-300. Most of my photography is landscape and close up stuff like my guns. I do some portraits as well and those two lenses would work great for everything I do.

10/10. I heart guns

[Mr.Goodtimes]

These aren't guns but are some pictures I took while in Chicago. It's an abandoned candy factory. I was playing E&E with the security the whole time. It was a great time lol.












The factory is in West Chicago, which is by far the biggest **** hole I've ever been to in the U.S. I felt very uncomfortable walking around with two grand in camera equipment and no gun. No racist but, I was the only white person I saw the whole time I was there. People were lookin at me like "white boy, wtf you doin hur?" lol.

EDIT: I voted this a five star thread. No such thing as to much gun pron.

Awesome man, im still a n00b new when it comes to photography. I have a Nikon D40x (nikkor 18-55 kit lens and a nikkor 55-300). I really enjoy trying to get some good shots, but its definitely a hobby for me, I have A LOT to learn.

[Mr.Goodtimes]

When it comes to photography we never stop learning lol. The old D40x is actually an excellent camera. I'd honestly hold on to that until (if) you jump into full frame. The 18-55 kit lens is an excellent piece of glass too. I have some amazing pictures that were taken with the kit lens. My 16-85 isn't any sharper than my 18-55 was, just a little more versital and a lot heavier.

If doing it over again I would have skipped buying a DX lense altogether and just gone ahead and bought an FX lens. FX glass will work on a DX camera but not so much the other way around. You can use a DX lense on an FX body, however you will only be utilizing roughly half the cameras resolution. So, If I put my 16-85 on a D700 (12MP) it would only be using the DX portion of the FX sensor, meaning it would only be a 5MP image.

Also, in the next five years I think you will start to see cheaper FX cameras going for what expensive DX cameras (like the D300 and D7000) are going for these days. FX is starting to become more main stream among serious amatures.

Pixles arent everything these days. The D40x handles noise really well and makes for some sharp images. I'd stick with that and save your money for some great glass and an FX camera when you can afford it.

I'm in the process of making a website to sell my photos. I'm hoping I can turn photography into a self funding hobby. Use the money I make to fund going places and buying more stuff.

If you have any questions about photography feel free to ask me. I shoot with a Nikon to so I'm sure I can answer any camera related question you might have. My fiance is a professional photographer so anything I can answer I'm sure she can.

^^ Thanks for all that info man, much appreciated. I've been wanting to pick up a new lens, I think for my skill level this body is enough for me, but glass sure is pricey!!!

Nice pic and even nicer gun bro.

No problem bro.

Glass is well worth the investment. Camera bodies get surpassed by the next latest and greatest every five or so years tops, but quality glass will be quality glass the rest of your life. I can take the 55mm F1.8 off the Nikon F2 my dad gave me and use it on my D3100. That particular lens is about 35 years old, and in fact, Nikon still makes it today. I believe it's about a $600.00 prime. Glass will last forever. The D700 was $3,000 dollars when it was released in 2007, you can now find them for between $2400-$2600 new and as low as $2,000 used if you shop around a little. When the D700's replacement comes around (which should be very soon) it will practically be worthless. You'll probably see D700's with low miles on the used market for $1500. Quality glass on the other hand, either holds it's value or can even gains value in some cases.

Nice pic and even nicer gun bro.

Thanks man.

It was produced in '44. Aside from a little holster wear (aka character) its in great shape. Definitely a special piece to me considering it came from my grandfather.

Why did you ditch a eotech for a aimpoint?!

Ah, this old factory. I used to ride past it every day on the train and fantasized about paintballing in it. I could also see it as the zombie apocalypse headquarters.

Man, if you think that's bad...I used to "adventure" into abandoned factories that were way worse when I was a kid. And yes, that far west in Chicago you will be the only white person. In fact, if a cop sees you they would probably stop you to see if you are either 1.) Buying Drugs or 2.) Tell you to get out of the neighborhood because you're lost.

[Civicbeater]

Nice gun porn! Diggin the tlr1

[Mr.Goodtimes]

Why did you ditch a eotech for a aimpoint?!

It was too big, heavy and battery life sucked. While the EXPS line is a huge step in the right direction as far as size and weight, the battery life is even worse than before. The T1 is still smaller, lighter, and runs for 50,000 hrs.

Eotechs are good optics. I never had any issue with mine as far as quality goes. The main reason I went with Aimpoint was battery life and weight savings. I'm eventually going to re barrel my 16in to a LW profile barrel so the T1 will compliment that nicely.

Holy **** dude I didn't know it got much worse than that place lol. I could definitely see that part of town as being about perfect for a SHTF type movie lol.

So, you guys have never made your way down south, then? Anywhere past about 30th street ought to do the trick. You'll be glad to find yourself back in the west end.

Lol no. Bad? When I was walking from the train to the factory there was a little group of kids (probably between 5-8) throwing a football around when one of them picked up a softball sized chunk of concrete and threw it at me before making a run for it. I was kind of stunned.
