Does anyone know what holster you would recommend for the glock 34 with an olight Balder pro r

Is there has been any gun in fiction that has had an actual practical design that could work in real life or look like it theoretically could while also being original

Can u mix 556 and 223 bullets to shoot out of a 556 chambered ar?

My dad just gave me his G30SF and I ordered a Meta Apex Tactical PCC kit for it. If anyone here has this kit, what are some things I should know or should adjust when I put it together?

Russian Made IZHMASH Saiga 12 gauge Semi auto I bought it brand new in 2012 and it’s never been fired except the test shots from when it was made! I have DDAB Red Dot Site, UTG pressure switch light. Thinking of selling it but have no clue what it’s worth? I have cleaned it and never shot it. Also i believe I have the original stock, box and target with bill of sale just haven’t uncovered it yet.

Looking at buying an AR10 for recreation/hunting and am debating which brand to go with. I am willing to spend up to $1,500 if there is big difference in quality. Right now I am conisdering the Ruger SFAR ($1,000), Diamondback DB10 ($970), and the Spring Field Armory ($1,526). Any recommendations?

Lone Wolf 80% with Gen 4 internals w/ stainless guide rod; a mix of Zev and OEM Glock. Apex trigger. Holosun 507c. Apex failure resistant extractor. Suppressor height tritium sights. Brownell’s windowed slide. Faxon match grade fluted barrel. Kagwerks slide release (not pictured, obviously) Talon grips with goon tape for extra grippy. Microcomp. 147 gr +p HSTs (yes they’re discontinued, but I have reserves 🖕)

For some brief background, I have bought probably 10 - 15 firearms over the past decade and never once been delayed or denied. Nothing has changed... I have been at my same address for almost 10 years, no one in my family has a criminal record, etc. The ONLY thing I can imagine to have affected this was I received my federal security clearance since my last purchase, but if anything, I would have expected that to expedite the process, not slow it down.

Now for my current situation. I mistakenly went to a national chain, who I have now come to learn will not do a Brady transfer. I will admit that despite my numerous purchases, I was relatively uninformed about the process. I've always had instant approval, so never gave it much thought. Furthermore, the purchase was a bit spontaneous, and Big Store had exactly what I wanted in stock. I was too impatient to wait for the local gun store to order what I wanted, which ironically would have only taken a couple of days. Anyway, my lesson has been learned.

So what to do? The clerks at Big Store keep reassuring me to wait it out. I asked one about the possibility of just canceling the whole thing (so that I could then restart the process at a local gun store... even if I get delayed again, they will do a 3-day Brady transfer). They didn't come right out and say that I COULDN'T do that, but did try to convince me not to. They used phrases like "Even if you go somewhere else, you will just probably get delayed again" and "Most local gun shops don't like to start a NICS check if you already have one pending. Besides, it can cause some red flags"

I also read a stat from NSSF from 2019: 89.44% of the NICS checks are completed immediately, just over 10% of NICS checks are “delayed.” 88% of delayed NICS checks are resolved within three business days and 94% within 10 days. Quick Mafs suggests that (6% of 11%) = 0.7% take longer than 10 days to resolve. This has me doubting that it will EVER get resolved. Ive heard plenty of stories of NICS slipping thru the cracks. Also, strangely, when my NICS originally came back delayed, they ALMOST thought it came back PROCEED. Like they said all good and started pulling the gun out and then the other one one points at the screen and says "wait whats that mean?" the other looks for a moment and goes "Huhhhh.... yeah, I'm not sure, I've never seen that before. should we go ask?" the first one goes "yeah, probably best to check with manager". Comes back and all of a sudden its delayed?? Overall the whole thing just feels squirrelly and just not at all like my other purchases.

I was planning on just waiting it out, but the more reading about the whole thing I do, the worse I feel for not having just bought locally in the first place. Big Store was selling me a floor model anyway and it would be nice to have a brand new one. The more impatient I get to start the 3-day countdown, even if I get delayed again. The whole "miscommunication" of the clerks thinking it was proceed has me a bit sketched out. They made the comment something like "It came back delayed, but we've never seen it show up like that", but wouldn't really elaborate on what was meant by that.

Does anyone have any experience with "canceling" a purchase because of a delayed NICS? I don't want to get hit with some goofy "restocking" fee or something for a "return" (on a gun I never even possessed lol). Is there any truth to what the clerks are saying about starting a second NICS? Maybe they are just saying whatever it takes to get me off the phone? Or maybe they earn a commission? Or maybe they are just lazy to process a refund? Or maybe they are telling God's honest truth? I have no idea.

Any advice would be great. Thanks!

What parts of the M9A4 should I NOT coat? As in, it'd be a negative instead of a positive to coat with np3?

Also going to get the Wolff trigger spring conversion unit. Can I coat it too? Or better question is, is it even worth coating it?

My Roomate I’m working with in Tennessee is from Louisiana and I’m from Mississippi, is there a work around to keep both of us from having to go all the way back to our respective states just to hand over a pistol.

For my 17th birthday my grandfather gifted me a gun he’s had for years. I was told it was a Smith & Wesson Model 1000 16 Gauge [1980 I was told]. I randomly thought about it today and decided to do some web searching (I only skimmed). The problem is when i searched this specific model it says they were only made in the 12G and 20G models. I can’t seem to find anything about a 16 gauge at all. Like it never existed. Does anyone know anything about it?

Looking for safe and want something that could handle a rifle or two if I end up going that way in the future. I also wanted a Simplex lock.

And that basically narrowed it right down to these V-Line safes. I don't mind mounting in the wall, that actually works out fine for me, but curious if anyone had one and what they thought.

Also the Vault Plus has pegboard and the Tactical has square holes - seems like pegboard would be better?

looking to build an AR-10 but because im in NY BCA will only ship the upper and wont ship the lower. So I need to find a lower to buy in state but i don't know which ones are compatible

First gun build.. got a Remington 783 chambered in 30-06 for a very good deal, I want to build a rifle and was wondering if this gun is worth it to strip down and build up to something I want.. I would like this gun to be a great universal hunting gun. I’m a deer hunter in New England but would also like to do some moose/elk hunting in the future and would like a gun to be able to suit all my needs. So any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys, just picked up my first RPR 22 the other day to add to the collection. The "kids" up at Fleet Farm were trying to mount a Vortex red dot and magnifier for me (which I want mainly because they look good) and the bolt would hit the magnifier as there isn't much room up there. They told me they couldn't put risers on the red dot because then you wouldn't be able to bore sight it. Just wondering if this is true or not? Would love to hear some suggestions on the topic. I'm not worried about spending a little money even though it "just" a $500 gun. TIA!!

Seen a few posts from redditors who work at local gun stores or ranges, some mentioned adjacent topics so I thought I'd ask the question on my mind.

Say I've got a list of 7 guns I'd be interested in buying.

I've checked reviews and I know the reputation these guns have as far as lifespan and reliability.

One of the guns on my list is let's say a Glock 43. Lol and behold you've got two on display when I walk in.

One of the guns for sale has fired under 100 rounds, the other has fired more than 10,000 in its current configuration. A lot of them being handloads and the guy new to handloading maybe fired some very spicy ammo through it. He also imitated torture tests he saw on YouTube, took the gun apart a bunch of times with a questionable level of care, installed aftermarket parts that may or may not be present at the moment (but aren't readily visible), were of varying quality, and may have contributed to unusual wear and tear.

Or whatever other issues you guys see. I'm trying to say this gun is beat to hell, the seller knew it and it's why he offloaded it. It's not a good value at any price. Or is it?

How do I walk out with the better gun?

What's it look like behind the scenes?

Thanks in advance and please feel free to voice your take on any adjacent issues. I don't really feel comfortable with used guns but I'm realizing they may be fantastic deals so I'm trying to sort out how concerned I should be

Oh and let's say this is asking specifically about EDC guns, not a range toy that I'm unbothered if I have a malfunction.

Looking for earbud recommendations that have: • Hearing protection suitable for shooting (20-25dB+ reduction) • Low dB (voices, etc) passthrough/ amplification • 8+ hour battery life • Bluetooth for music/audiobooks

I've used full earmuff style headphones that can do this (Peltore Tactical 500), but I really hate wearing bulky headphones. I was looking at the Axil GS Extreme 2.0 which seem to fit the bill perfectly, but found a thread in r/handguns about them and no one seemed too thrilled.

Any recommendations?

So I'm looking to get my husband a epos Xmas present this year both of us are avid gun owners and I my self have customized my Beretta to look like resident evil stars gun my self but that's just changing a barrel and handle.

I'm not entirely sure of the legality thou I'm sure it differs from state to state I live in pa, I was wondering if I could get a fully custom built gun. I would like to see if it's possible to build a Warhammer 40k bolter gun as close to a actual fire arm as possible. I know people have made 3D printed ones that work, but I don't have that kind of stuff on hand and I'd rather a professional do it.

So turned 18 and been wanting to buy my first gun. Been around them my whole life due to hunting/military family and have shot plenty and know best safety measures for them due to my dads military background. But now that I am old enough and have a decent job I want to get my own for target practice/ hunting. What do yall think would be best for that?

I kno they say you can get the Align Tactical Gas pedal to work with Tier 1 concealed holsters with a heat gun but I Also have a Alien Gear Duty holster do you guys think I can get the Align Tactical Gas pedal to fit the Holster?

Within a week of getting my first one, I got another one!

Hello all! I’ve had this magazine in my collection for quite some time and I am having a hard time figuring what year/when it was made. I’ve gather a few things but I’m no whiz with this stuff- any information or links would be greatly appreciated!

If I’m correct, this is a late 30s-early 40s magazine for the reserves due to the plus sign. The stamp is in maybe the wrong spot which is odd, but the aluminum bottom and extruded body are in line with early 40s production. No markings on the body so it’s not a (very) late model magazine. Again any information or guidance is welcome please!

Wild footage from the United CEO shooting today. Looks like the guy manually reloads after each shot? Could he be using something he knows won’t cycle the action?

Definitely suppressed too.

I have a question so I have been planning on buying me a Draco but I’m not sure if it falls under as a pistol or is it still considered a rifle. I’m 20 btw

I have so many more slots to fill.
