Ringing in Wheelgun Wednesday with my matched set of Colt Model 1871 Open Top reproductions by Uberti in .45 Colt!

5 1/2” round profile barrels, rear sights mounted in the barrel itself instead of the receiver. Fixed firing pins in the hammers, no transfer bars in these repros makes them very authentic but they must never be carried nor left on a loaded chamber.

Sequential serial numbers, because gun chicks can do a little nerding, as a treat.

These certainly are not the guns that walked over Johnny Ringo’s grave, but I’m still your Huckleberry. 💋

I'm over here trying to preach the gospel of shooting people in the pelvis. I'm right, right?

Edit: yes I am serious. The backdrop of a shot at the pelvis would be the ground. A shot at her chest could be an innocent person. I'm not trying to be less lethal or arguing legality.

My algorithm shows me iDryfire and VNSH Laser Strike a lot and I’m intrigued. Anybody have one that you like?

Bought a Low Pro X from Guerrilla Tactical meant for a G19 with a Streamlight TLR1 HL.

In case anyone was wondering, it fits with my RXM that has a Braun tac light from Harbor Freight 🤠

I just needed to get an adapter specifically for the RXM because the Glock one that came with the light left a decent gap between the gap of the trigger guard and the back of the light.

Edit: Got the adapter from Liberty Build Co

The natural instinct is to think that recoil will mess up your shot but isn't it actually not the case? Wouldn't max recoil occur after the bullet has already left the barrel due to some law of physics that I can no longer remember. If that is the case, recoil isn't all bad then? I mean it will mess up your next shot but not the one that already left? Is this right or did I mess something up?

Is there a normal looking bag that can hold a 24" firearm that doesn't scream tacticool firearm holder? Can it look like a normal non-camo backpack without all the velcro, loops, webbing and large "cool" gun-coded brand names?

Does the community have any suggestions?

Edit: Thank you! I did not expect so many suggestions. I will check them all out. I don't mind if the gun has to sit diagonally in the bag, so the total length might only be like 20-21" and not the full 24" if it was placed straight up.

I am just doing my part to Eradicate some Florida Wild Boars 🫡

So these are two of my three rifles that I own (10/22 not pictured). I’ve been toying with the idea of getting an AR or something newer in general. But every time I go and look I just feel underwhelmed and disappointed. I’ve shot plenty and I personally don’t see the hype behind them. Not saying people shouldn’t have them. By all means buy what you want. But does anyone else just feel like AR are overhyped? Nothing newer seems to get me excited like older weapons do.

I’m in the hunt for an ammo “ecosystem” I plan on getting a revolver and a carbine. I like 9mm because I can also get semiautomatic handguns. (.357 can too if I get a Desert Eagle)

My biggest constraint is I like having both semiautomatic and manually operated carbines. Realistically it’s one or the other. To my knowledge there are no .357 semiautomatic options, and for 9mm it’s the POF Tombstone or a break action single shot.

Ideally I’d be able to get both but I can’t convince myself that getting both calibers is a smart decision.

Unless theres a decently priced M1 carbine in .357 or a nice(r) lever/bolt action 9mm I’m 6 one way and half a dozen the other.

I appreciate your suggestion regardless!

Finally got the Argus mount for my pics-7. Have a LAM coming tomorrow and will be doing a lowlight/no light comp in November. I have several hundred hours under pvs-14s so going back to a 7 will have a learning curve.

I’m not sure who else it was on here who inspired the idea, maybe it was on the Echelon subreddit, but decided to purple cerakote my Icarus Precision Ace Echelon grip module. First time doing it by myself so there are a few imperfections and I think it’s a bit thick but overall pretty pleased! The gold accents make feel kinda Saints Row. Excited for it to cure fully and fully function check it.

So, im not new to guns; I've been shooting since I was 16-17 with my father and a family friend, and have always been around guns. I'm just curious: does anyone have any recommendations for guns that are A. Fun to shoot, B. legal in California, C. is not TOO expensive, I dont have a lot of money, but am willing to save to afford one, I dont mind if the ammunition is a little costly (i can just shoot less if i have to) but i was something </=$1000. also bonus if its an older gun (like the M1Garand) Im a history nerd, and like game consoles, they are phyical pieces of history that I can actively engage with and feel, and to me, theres a beauty to that. Any recs?

I know there's a lot of people starting to order suppressors with the new rulings, so I thought I'd share this video so everyone could evaluate this company and make their own decisions.

Just put the Holosun 407C gold dot on my G45 Gen 6. I have a ton of red dots. A couple greens. I’ve had a blue before. This is my first gold. I like it. A lot.

I use a Osprey Global scope on my 7.62x54r, it's a pretty big scope but it does not seem to hold zero after so many corrections. Am I doing something wrong or should I invest in a new scope?

Rep. Jeff Hurd is expected to introduce a bill that would transfer more than 2,000 acres of BLM land northeast of Glenwood Springs to Out of Bounds Ranch.

I’ve hunted this parcel for decades. It is not “unused.” In a unit already dominated by private property, these parcels provide valuable elk habitat and access to connected public land.

This would DELETE over 2,000 acres of prime hunting access in unit 444.

This is not just about hunting, this is about preserving public lands. This isn’t a game, but unfortunately, some think otherwise.

Thank you!

Failure to stop at 7 & 10 yards. Avg 2.5ish. Nothing quite zens me out like this drill.

M&P shield plus. Safariland incognix AWB.

Saw an sig 556 rifle at a local shop that’s peaked my interest. Anyone own one? Just curious about some feedback from owners.

Finally completed my gun wall while I was on vacation!

Hey guys, I'm finally going to be pulling the trigger on a piece ive wanted for a while now as the labor day sale price is too awesome to pass up. Unfortunately I do not get paid until Wednesday at midnight or so. I've heard conflicting reports regarding how long the Labor Day sale will be and its a bit confusing. Some say it'll end right on Tuesday at midnight, some say it'll continue for as long as a week afterwards and everything in-between. I even had an AI give me the odds of the sale price still being there on pay day which, according to that, is an 85% chance itll still be up (i know i know, AI is the worst, i dont disagree) . Does anyone have any insight on this? I've been putting off the purchase all summer since I know they do a lot of sales and figured it won't be an issue but of course, here i am lmao. I know a couple dudes on reddit are PSA employees so if any of you guys see this then a response would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I dont think this is against rules but mods please let me know

For those in Texas that had been interested in arranging local meets, anyone have any opposition to using Stoat?

PSA Sabre Mixtape 300 blackout. Temporary Acro P2 until the Primary Arms SLX 3x comes, KAK DBC Dual ejector, and Disruptor 3 position FRT also on the way. Die Free Co Kung Fu grip and Tiger claw added, metal mags. Suppressor is the JK Armament 155 RPX 30.

I have a poverty pony. Anderson lower, Davidson Defense Upper, with SS 18” bull barrel. Got it from the factory that white gloves most of the match barrels, and after market barrels you see around. Basically it’s a “blem” but the internals are to spec. 1:8 twist, .223 Wylde chamber.

Shooting some Hornady .223 Remington 68gr BTHP match.

I’m getting such weird accuracy. I have a Vortex 4-12 BDC scope. Designed for 50/200 zero for the BDC to line up.

At 50 yards, it’s shooting nearly 6 moa. But…. At 300, 450 and 500 it’s getting hits on 10” steel plates consistently.

So I’m thinking it’s me. Am I getting nervous and pulling shots up close? Any one else have this kind of thing happen? Scope rings are tight. Barrel lug is torqued to spec, bolt and BCG are good.

About 6 months ago, I was printing 1” groups at 100 with this rifle, and shooting golf balls for fun. Now I can’t hit anything under 200 yards, but somehow 300+ it’s shooting “fine”.

I think it’s 100% me, becuase it’s the same thing with my 6.5 Creedmoor Tikka. 3” groups at 100…. But also 3” groups at 300… 5” groups at 500.

I got the yips or something.

Just wondering if it’s a phase or something. Does it go away. Been like this for about a month (3x range sessions).

Is there anyone here that does PRS style shooting in this subreddit? Centerfire or rimfire..

see a lot of folks here posting pistols, range toys and self defense set ups that look pretty neat. Just curious if I’m the only one runnin high speed bolt guns I guess. If ya do, what set up are you running?
