I wanted to come back and provide an update. He ended up picking out a gun from Hanover Armory. It was more than I wanted to spend, but it seemed like a cool shop, and anyway... it was a good fit for us.
He picked out one he liked off the wall, and we had them swap the grip. I already had the...
Anyone got a lead on a MD compliant AR-15? Prefer free float barrel. No optics or sights required. I'm liking the Ruger 8537.
My son's birthday is coming up, and he'll be legal to buy. I'd like to help him buy his first gun for his birthday. I know I missed some Black Friday sales... but...

I have an Advantage Arms .22 conversion kit for my Glock 19. I use it as a student trainer when I teach NRA Basic Pistol. It's been great! I recently switched to a dry lubricant, and it's even more reliable than I expected. I shoot the bucket o bullets from Wal Mart (Golden Bullets) through...
Just to provide a current timeline for those in the works. My permit was received yesterday, and that was almost exactly 60 days from the day they received it.
Yeah... no telling. It is a great reminder that even in sleepy rural neighborhoods... criminals seek to prey on the unaware and unprepared. I think people tend to get complacent in their quiet neighborhoods and see crime as an "inner city" problem. If the homeowner came into this situation, how...
While I haven't been to one yet, I am a member of the Arlington Rifle and Pistol Club, and every event I have been to from them has been well put together. I did the carbine class a couple of weeks ago. If I wasn't teaching a NRA Basic Pistol course next Sat, I'd be attending that 3-gun event.
Your apologies are accepted and appreciated. It takes a stand up person to come back and do what you did.
I know the feeling... and some days I am definitely grouchier than others. I'm really sorry you aren't able to make it work. But the good news is that you can continue to do what works for...
You mean these locking tabs? Yeah... my mag has them too.
It's not necessary to compress the sides of the mag to remove the base plate. This isn't a magic trick. No smoke and mirrors. It's just a technique that has to be learned. Look at where the tip of my punch is. Look at where the handle...
Many stippling jobs are for looks. Maybe that's what you are looking for, but I'd recommend someone who stipples for grip. David Bowie is a friend of mine. He is a custom Glock builder and does stippling work for guys like Larry Vickers and Dave Spaulding. I did a review video of the work he...
I'm just throwing this in here for reference in case anyone needs it in the future. It's very interesting to me how many creative "solutions" there are to this question. The answer is really very simple.
