I'm certain folks have had some time to window shop :laugh:


What new item have you added to the wish list over the last couple of weeks?

Here's mine:

The perfect round for an SMG IMO. This... is the modern replacement for the MP5 You can run anything from lightweight to heavy door movement rounds. This gun is what the versatility of 10mm has been waiting for.

The commercial video is sht, don't tell you noth'n and does not give you a good pic of the weapon, just a bunch of millisecond flash pics. I found a vid that gives better detail.
I want one but:
It would be wasted on me, I'm not a 'gun guy'.
I want a 471 blower for my car first.

So a more in-depth video would have been wasted on you.

That reminds me. I put an ambidextrous safety on my R1. Never used it, never needed it and now it's acting up. I have to hunt around for nice beaver tail style safety for it.

Love my 1911. I bought the R1 because I knew I was going to dress and undress. I lovingly refer to it as "Brass Knuckles"

I want to get a blued Colt 1911 classic to check the plain Jane 1911 box.

I filled my "wish list" at Christmas time: a Savage B-22 FV-SR, and a PSA Upper in 350 Legend. Vortech scopes on each.
I've only been able to get them out to the range once so far, still need to finish sighting-in and running ammo tests...

For Karthief: Why 10mm you ask?

View: https://youtu.be/6k8-CojccCk


...and this:

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkphTOLiy0g


It's a rifle that uses a mechanism that consistently fires and calms everything from the smallest "pip pip" 150 grain bullet 10mm load all the way to a 300 grain FMJ that will move a 250 lb target a few fit from its current position.


This is a good all around 0 to 500 yard cartridge that is very in-line with the "Bush Cartridges" that I love so much. Bush Cartridges are those that were designed to travel through minor obstacles to get to the target without deviation. It just breaks it way through branches, brush, whatever on its way to the target.

A 10mm in a rifle like this gives the best of both worlds (kind of like the 45 Colt) but with a much flatter trajectory.

Coming full circle: It's an SMG in a Bush Gun cartridge and not some puny 9mm. But recoils like puny 9mm. LoL

I've got an AR combo that put together with a .22LR upper. I mounted Pro-point to it. It never occurred to me that this gun would be so much fun.

It's fast, stupid accurate and you can empty clip after clip without a misfire.

I shoot it closed stock, both eyes open. If you can see it, you can hit it and it is that simple It sits nearby loaded with 40gr sub-sonic.

Complaints:
No empty mag/chamber hold-open
I constantly leave the Pro-point on

I visited a local gun shop today for the first time and found a nice Springfield RO Champion in the case. I'll be revisiting Monday afternoon to put it on layaway!
