    Recommendations for a self build .308 for hunting on a budget

    Remember that AR10's are not the legos that AR15's are. There is a lot more variability in what parts work with others, and at least three rail heights and patterns floating around out there. I would suggest getting a matched upper/lower and working from there. Make sure you know what height...

    Critical Defense or Federal HST?

    I use 147grn HST in most all of my carry guns. Excellent, reliable expansion across barrel lengths with good penetration. Ammo Quest on Youtube has some great test data on most common carry calibers.

    Ammo Deals

    Outdoor Limited and Velocity Ammunition are my go too's. Because I shoot a lot of falling/moving steel I run 147 grain 9mm rounds, so they are a bit harder to find. Academy can have some really good deals shipped, as their shipping is free. In my experience that is the "catch" with a lot of...

    XDs trigger problems?

    Freedomsmith Fat Daddy triggers are very nice. They help with pre and over travel and are all metal.

    XDm For USPSA Use

    I second the Powder River kit. They make several options but I don't care for their trigger feel. It pinches my finger, but I have large hands. The Freedomsmith Fat Daddy triggers for the XDM are excellent upgrades. They help with pre and over travel. Put them together with the PR springs...

    CCW with a 10mm

    My carry gun is situational. If I am in town going about my day to day life and work I tend to carry a micro-compact. If I am going to be in one of the larger cities nearby or in a sketchy place, I usually carry my a compact or full size and a spare mag. If I am out in the woods, a 10mm.

    XDm 10 4.5 vs 5.25

    I have not put those two on back to back chrono testing, but speaking from my experience with 10mm load development in general, you will get around 60-90 more FPS out of a 5" gun vs. a 4" gun. So probably around 30-60fps difference between the 4.5 and 5.25. Standard disclaimer about powder...

    Must Have Mods for your XD series gun?

    I am always curious as to what other people run when it comes to competition use and carry. I don't run an XD in competition personally, but a lot of folks I shoot with do. The must haves from them seem to be a nice Powder River trigger kit, Talon Grips and Dawson Precision fiber optic front...

    .22 for concealed carry, are you kidding me?

    For the consideration of the OP I offer that the HK MP7 is very close to a 17HMR and proves plenty lethal in well trained hands. Small rounds on target beat larger rounds off target.

    Win a Hellcat Pistol!

    I would certainly like to have one in my cadre of carry guns.

    Is the .40 Dead?

    The .40 will probably be viable for a decade or two. But you are already seeing new models being released without a .40 chambering in the line. I think its main use will be for competition where it is easier to make a major power factor, especially with the recent rule change that major...

    Is the FAL really any good?

    The FAL is a great rifle, but because of its size and the amount of variability in its gas settings, is not a great fit for a conscript army, or a motorized army owing to its size. Add in the sand and reliability issues the heavy barreled "squad automatic rifle" version experienced and and it...
