Good morning, never owned a LPVO rifle scope before. I own red dots, EO Tech with 3x mag, and one of my rifles has a 4x ACOG... but I'm looking for a rifle scope that can be adjusted between close range and maybe up to 500-yard steel plates, getting into a little long range competition shooting...

Welcome to the forum from Freedom Florida. Some answered your snappy question above, but to answer your other questions. YES, guns in general need a breacking in period before they can be fully reviewed. Now some of the mass produced guns not so much, but heavier, full size guns usually need a...

I like to schedule range days... on "gun holidays", Hey, I'm retired, I get bored. 2/23 Day, 3/08 Day, and now 4/5 Day... My .45 collection.

Happy .308 Day! I only have two of them, both Springfields. March 8th. (I always try and celebrate 223 day, 308 day, and 45 day.... what can I say, I'm retired and get bored, so I make up my own annual holiday/range days. lol)

Funny, I have both of those handguns... I use my comp'ed Echelon for competition shooting and use Remington Range 9mm Luger 124 gr. FMJ MV 1090 FPS. exclusively for that gun for that reason. For my Hellcat pro I keep it clean, just the gun, no comp no red dot nothing... made for one purpose to...

Excuse my ignorance on this one. I picked up one of those laser sight rounds to check your sights. My understanding is that when it's in the gun if the barrel is good the laser dot should be exactly where the fixed iron sights are, even thou in my check it was about 4 inches, 10 yards away from...

I thought this an interesting story, and video of a nice 1911.

1 officer has passed... got the end of watch notice a few minutes ago. sad... RIP. Patrolman Andrew Duarte West York Borough Police Department, Pennsylvania End of Watch: Saturday, February 22, 2025 Patrolman Andrew Duarte was shot and killed while responding to reports of an active shooter...

Ya, actually I only carried it for a year or two at the most, maybe used it 5 times... once I went K9 I didn't carry it. Not going to use a taser near my dog, could be overkill or maybe hit the dog accidentally. We were required to carry at least one less lethal. Stick, pepper spray, or taser...

Yes, and even thou the pain is over afterwards, you still need a second or two to pull yourself together before getting up. Theres just a slight and short after effect even thou, they say it's instant on then off feeling. imo

The article on pepper spray got me thinking about sharing this taser video with you guys and gals. I mean my first experience with tear gas was in basic training in the Army. (1985) and then with pepper spray a few years later as a MP in the Army. But for the Taser, over 20 years ago my...

OK, I'm not reading all those EO... but I do want to know when I can bring my pistol braces out from hiding for sure, and when I can buy my next suppressor without the additional tax stamp money.... someone let me know when OK? Thx. ;)

Reading up on getting a red dot for my PDW, well really, I prefer green. I don't really know to much about them but I keep reading I need a wide view. Now I understand what they are saying but how wide, and what is considered a wide view? Also, while I'm here, I prefer green dots, I can see them...

I just recently got into competition shooting, 2 official matches under my belt with the Springfield Echelon, with a better trigger, comp, and a red dot, so open class... but when I was practicing, I realized that I shot better and faster with my Dan Wesson 1911 .45 with iron sights. (I'm old...

Well... I definitely like your train of thought, some really nice guns in that list... but the big question is "what do you want it for?" since you posted this "buying my first gun that I could potentially conceal carry as well." I'm not really sure those big guns are good for concealed carry...
