"During routine test firing, Bushmaster discovered a design flaw which could result in multiple rounds firing continuously when the trigger is pulled."

Haha. I'm still not figuring how that could be called a "design flaw". Sounds like better-than-expected performance to me.

Man, I wanted to buy a Socom 16 for my next rifle. After watching that video I kind of want an ACR now.

 

[slynger]

in regards to the ACR they are everything they are cracked up to be and more - an amazing rifle.

For what purpose; defense, target shooting, conceal carry, etc?


I currently own a Springfield XD Sub-compact that I really love; but my needs might not be yours.

For defense and target shooting

If cost is not too much of a factor Sig Sauer p226 would definately be my first choice. Glock 19 would be a close second, almost half the price of the Sig, and a great pistol for the beginner. IMO of course.

My favorite 9mm is the Beretta 92fs.

Just got one myself. Only fired a clip out of it, but it seems pretty sweet. My first handgun actually...

Currently, this is my dream pistol. I want it in .40 S&W. But it comes in 9mm as well.

Edit - Berretta 90two

No doubt. Everything I keep reading and watching about it confirms this. I just wish I had the dough for it. They're what, $3k after taxes??

that's for the "enhanced" model which i've seen for $2,500. mine is the "basic" model ($2,200). i prefer the handguard on it over the picatinny rails.

current accessories available here.

i can't wait till they start offering different caliber barrels. 6.8SPC, 7.62x39!

here's my current config. i swapped my Leupold scope from my AR.

nice ACR.....anybody own a Ruger SR556??? I've been looking at this AR for a while now and I was just wondering how durable and reliable they are.

Excellent choice, and I vastly prefer the XD and XDm to Glock (though I haven't tried the Gen 4's yet); I am not at all a fan of Glock's grip angle and I really like the grip safety that the XD has. The XDs really feel a lot like a 1911 in your hand; and once you get used to the trigger pull they are as reliable as anything out there. The SC 9 is my CCW weapon; and I have a 45 ACP tactical that is just as awesome.

I did a test run on several 9mm models a year or two ago. Personally, I'm partial to Heckler and Koch. I like the HK P30 and HK USP Compact quite a bit. Both are extremely high quality -- accurate, reliable, durable and reasonably concealable. Good for a general use and all-purpose sidearm.

HK P30

HK USP Compact

I also liked the Walther P99, Beretta PX4 Storm, and Sig Sauer P229. Tried a Glock 19, but didn't care for the ergonomics at all. I ultimately went with the P30 as my primary sidearm, and bought a USP Compact in .45 as well. HK is a higher-end brand (the P30 was about $800) ... but you definitely get what you pay for.
