Good God, I can only imagine how painful that thing would be with full powered 357 mag rounds. Good thing you can use 38 special too!

All I want for Christmas is a Springfield XD-S .45 ACP, this:

and 1,000 rounds for each.


I don't own a firearm yet but I feel like a pump action shotgun that holds 13, 12 gauge shells is perfect for home defense against a large biker gang all breaking into my house at once.

Psh, for home defense you should get a short barreled AR-15 with a suppressor. Save your ears if you have to use it inside and have something super awesome for the zombie apocalypse.

My dad has one similar to it that I've fired with .38 special with no issues. I've never fired it with .357, but he says that he would recommend shooting gloves for practice. I'm sure that if I ever needed to use it in a non-practice situation, I won't really be paying attention to the extra oomph.

This is also on my list, but not until I can find a way to get one in CA.

I'm mirin the 12 round capacity on that Keltec shotgun.

[dannyautrey]

Get a Saiga with a 20rd drum.
Anyone with large hands ever fired a Glock 30? How'd it feel?

[coachdeez]

What is the cheapest bench that's worth a damn? Ideally I would like an adjustable one but I think a regular flat bench will have to do for now. So far the cheapest one I've found is from Rogue...it barely beat out Texas strength systems.

Bump for new page

DB benches seem so expensive when bought new. I had our flat bench frame built by a friend and I made the pad, and our adjustable 0-90 bench was bought off craigslist for $75. If you have patience wait for a while to see if you cant come accross something cheap.

Whenever I move to Arizona I plan on getting a Saiga.

I can wait for an adjustable one, but for the flat one I may try to make one myself. Good call.

[ampUP11]

Lol you still get x-mas presents? From your parents?

Hit 280 on bench mid training today, whoo 5 lbs PR. Missed 290 like a ******* but it will go down on Tuesday or you guys can neg me.

21st birthday was this past November, didn't ask for a damn thing, pushed it off to Christmas so I had time to think of what I wanted lol

What are your thoughts on those double actions with hammer? I was always kind of against them because I've always shot double/single but I guess in a tactical situation you would never use the hammer.

Good God, I can only imagine how painful that thing would be with full powered 357 mag rounds. Good thing you can use 38 special too!

I got my ma a S&W small frame .357 and the only thing about it that hurts (unless you are shooting a whole box in which case yeah, it's annoying) is where the cylinder release scrapes my thumb (it's got really sharp knurling). My buddy just got a ruger .454 casul on what looks to be a medium frame and I bet that is killer. They can also shoot .45 colt.


We got dumped on with snow so that's been fun, but before I left this morning I cranked the radio and took off in the mounds from plowing alpha as fuk. Get bout 1/2 mile down the hill before I realize I'm pushing neighbors recycling can. lulz were had.

I think Darren needs to up his welding game and start making stuff for the fam.

Let me know if you want the dimensions from the one I had made. It turned out super nice and the specs were right on the money. Probaby had ~$75 invested in it.

I was kind of against them at first too, but for close range in a tactical environment you don't have to worry too much about losing accuracy from a heavy double action squeeze. The big selling point for me was that I can carry it in my front pocket without a holster, and due to the sleek design I don't have to worry about any snags when I draw.

I concur.

Yeah, definitely. I may even buy a cheap flat bench on craigslist then remove the pad and add one with your specs on top of the frame. On a side note, I tried to rep you over 15k but you're on spread. Someone else will have to do the honors for me.

Word. My next purchase will be a .357 snub no hammer (S&W or Ruger) or Kimber 1911 compact.

Sounds good.

I do want an assault rifle but I can't justify that for any kind of hom defense. Mostly because I don't want to kill my f*cking neighbors while they are sleeping if I miss some @sshole that broke into my house.

Although, I watched a video of a guy hitting targets 100 yards away with that XD-S. Not bad for a 3.3inch barrel that could blow a f*cking arm off.

[HamburgerTrain]

Plus, I'd probably get something like an AK74 or some variant. You can $hit down the barrel and it still fires just fine.

[getout87]

I will also be purchasing an LCR next year. I was looking at them earlier today, actually. I shot them right after they came out, and they have a surprisingly smooth trigger.

Doollas, go with the kimber. They have the new compact Solo that I am absolutely in lust over, but a 3 inch barrel 1911 will do you no wrong. God I love 1911s

[Liftamulti]

Lol revolvers.

I still get stuff too, but I've told my parents a million times to stop. My mom is just nuts, so I let her buy me the clothes I'm too cheap to buy.

[BigLarge]

Where at bra? I'm from good ol Illiopolis, IL (srs).

Flora, IL... which is a little sound of Effingham!

[mitten]

i bought my mom some bitchin sunglasses. Instead of them not giving me gifts anymore i started getting them gifts.

[thom2355]

Already have a functioning reverse hyper. Looking for an actual GHR now and open for suggestions.

EFS Deluxe....just got mine yesterday!

Lol revolvers.

Pretty hard to argue against something that will always work.

Exactly. The LCR is small, powerful, easily concealable, snag-free, and reliable. LAM just needs to overcompensate.
