      Why the Hype for the HK P7

      A lot of this is valid input on why the prices are very high now. I can give you some input on the pros and cons in its actual time, as I carried one for several years. I had zero concern over what was cool or in a given movie, just straight up functionality. Consider there were far fewer...

      Acro P2 - need feedback

      I have a P1, no issues except the poor choice of an oddball battery with inadequate energy capacity. I bought a pile of the oddball batteries to where their shelf life will probable expire before I run through all of them, although right now it's not on a continuous standby pistol so I'm not...

      Sad to see them go.

      Sorry to hear the trend with Nelson's. That first and only visit was probably March 2022. Store interior space was mostly uniform, although I'd never been to Jenkins to compare. Maybe foot traffic is off enough that Nelson's has shifted more toward webstore/mail order? When I looked at...

      Sad to see them go.

      Nelson & Co. is already established in Greencastle and probably equally or more convenient coming from most directions (the locations where more population is located) as Terre Haute would be. I'm not in the LE field to use the uniform side of their business, but ran down there once looking to...

      Good Long Range Rifle Scope

      In my opinion the most robust scope with the highest magnification you can get for that amount of money is a Nightforce SHV 4-14x56. Euro Optic has a sale running where they pay the sales tax and the non-illuminated model comes in just under $1000. By watching their demo sales I paid just over...

      What to look for when buying A2 AR barrels?

      If you want an A2 clone AR, that is in reference to M16A2; the configuration would be a 20" A2 profile barrel on an A2 fixed carry handle upper receiver. You can find photos all over online, but the A2 profile is "heavy" in front of the front sight and reduced diameter under the hand guards...

      Vented charging handle

      PRI was the first product I was aware of designed to reduce the gas problem, have used the original M84 Gas Buster Charging Handle - Military Big Latch for many years including 10.5" suppressed uppers, and it had been out many years before that. (So either PRI were the first to invent the idea...

      ATF at it again?

      wcd, I just meant without more context I did not think a lot of folks would be familiar with UTM versus the better known Simmunitions, and that is was useful to know ATF was going after this apparently as a US import issue given it is produced in the UK. In total agreement with you it is...

      ATF at it again?

      I'm going to estimate something over 85% of readers could use this link to understand what is going on (UTM brand, made in UK, ATF banned from import for non-LE/mil): https://www.usacarry.com/utm-announces-end-of-civilian-sales-due-to-atf-rules/

      Wishlists for manufacturers.

      You stated you are an M17 owner, and it sounded as if you were unaware of the issues reported with the P320 so I was expanding on my personal thread-relevant concerns that have put my own purchase of an M17 on hold, just so you would have that awareness and could assess your own comfort level...

      Wishlists for manufacturers.

      Creedmoor, referring to the video documented discharge of a law enforcement P320 that was untouched in the holster. If you search on something like "P320 holster discharge" you should be able to find the video in one of several places. That follows a lot of prior reports, but there is rightly...

      Wishlists for manufacturers.

      I realized after my post this was the Handgun section and I was casting a wider net of wants, although I managed to color inside the lines with the Ruger revolver and Glock comments. Another one comes to mind that's handgun related and putting a potential purchase on hold. It would be nice if...

      Wishlists for manufacturers.

      I'd just like to see several manufacturers produce their own catalog, either at all or in greater quantity to satisfy market demands, looking mostly at Ruger/Marlin on that last point. Offenders of interest to me: Pretty much everything from LMT, Surefire muzzle devices (thanks for finally...

      Looking for a multi vehicle holster platform

      I agree with the on-body carry arguments. But the concern I wanted to raise is be careful with any in-vehicle holster mounting within reach of the driver's seat. Modern vehicle often have additional airbags all over the place; in the window frames, the outboard edge of the seat back cushion...

      Suggestions for .22lr bolt action with rail?

      My suggestion, giving the same advice I've followed myself is the Ruger American Rimfire; Model 8306 is a good example with the shorter stock that I prefer despite being taller than the US average, and a threaded barrel if you get really serious about quiet racoon removal with a suppressor...
