probably a remington 700 5r

Alright so what's the latest?? Anybody go shooting or pick up a new toy lately?? I was planning on going out shooting last weekend, but it freaking rained again.

~~I did install a new buttstock and extended rail on my Scar 17 this weekend. Much better looking....now if my stamp would get back I can totally rock it out with a suppressor.

Very cool. What stock and extended rail did you go with? Got any pics?

I've been thinking of using a Vltor stock adapter so that I could try on the various Magpul stocks I already have.

I almost got an SRX rail extension by PWS last year, but saved that money for optics on my M4.

I went with the first Midwest Industries rail. It's heavy as hell. Depending on how often I take the 17 out and about I might end up going with the VLTOR rail extension just to trim a little weight off the sucker. I'll try to get some pictures up this weekend when I hit the range.

That's the rail extension I've been trying to get from a buddy of mine. I've been trying to convince him that he doesn't need it.
And yes, it's absolute light weight because it simply bolts on where the stock picatinny rails were.

Damn, a Scar, that's pretty badass.

I ordered my first gun yesterday, a Smith & Wesson .357 4inch barrel
I'm really excited to get this.

I have an MP 9mm and I will check it.

I looks like shield is their CC line? Maybe they have similar trigger safeties or something. It's worth making sure.

Thank you!

No worries...just tell me how you got your Iron Man 2 Black Widow hair so friggin perfect!?!?

 

[meatgoat]

Just sold my Glock 23. Gave it a couple chances but never did develop a feel for it. Maybe I'll try a 19 next time I come across a deal.

 

[P1X4R]

i think you'll like the 19 better. i shot a friend's beretta 96 in .40 yesterday. recoil wasn't too bad but it kept slapping my finger which was quite annoying. however, my s&w 610 revolver handles it easy.

Very cool.
Here's a few more details:

Does anyone here recommend the FNS?
I need to hold one (and shoot) before I pass judgement on it. I need to check out the LGS and ranges.

Wow...we all have our preferences. That was the first pistol I bought. It's still my main go to piece. Got it on me right now.

What about it didn't work for you out of curiosity.

I love the size of it but it felt "snappy" to me. I had a tough time keeping quick follow up shots from rising. Even hit the clip a few times at the range when I would fire quickly.

I bought a conversion barrel for it to run 9 thru it but never tried it. Found someone on a local trader site looking for a FDE Glock so I just got rid of the gun. Guess I'll throw the conversion barrel on eBay.

I own and carry the FNX 9 which is the same gun only hammer fired. I love it. It's great out of the box and I imagine the FNS is no different. If I'm not mistaken it won a golden bullseye award last year. It has an external safety, which some might consider a negative but it's pretty unobtrusive.
