I'm looking into those actually, but I'm not sure how they shoot or handle.

Better than the glock, IMO. Feels better in my hand and I enjoy the trigger better. But then again, I own a Glock and not the XD :lol
Just picked up my AR15 lower yesterday, about to order the upper soon.

Which lower is that and how much? I'm looking to maybe build an AR-15 at some point but the restrictions in NY are very precise.
Spikes nice! I have a Rock River lower and CMMG upper, Daniel Defense omega rail. Prices are coming back to normal.. kinda want another one haha.RapidCancel said:Better than the glock, IMO. Feels better in my hand and I enjoy the trigger better. But then again, I own a Glock and not the XD :lol

Sorry I meant among the 9mm's or 45's. I am looking at the Springfield XD's, they are getting glowing reviews all around.

Its expensive...go hold the gun and see if you like it. It's my ccw, but the g26 should do just the same. I carry my g27 from time to time too. What caliber are you looking for? If your interested in a .40 you could get a g27 and also get a 9mm barrel to use the g27 for both 9mm and .40 cal.
If you go with the hk, get ready to pay out the ass for magazines. It's not as bad for the p2ksk, but for the usp and other stuff...damnz.

The lower was from Spikes Tactical and on sale for $89, pretty much back to non-price gouging prices...but it was only for the month of Aug. So price is back to "normal."
I hear its near impossible to get a gun in NY?
golem said:
I plan on getting a CMMG middy upper for it. How much was the DD omega rail? I was thinking about going with the YHM mainly for prices sake. Prices were hiked for so long...I've been waited for it to drop again for so long :lol $200 - $300 for a stripped lower? No tnx =X
MWS Natural said:
Is this for home defense, concealed carry, range, etc.?
My CMMG is a mid too. I got the rail here:RapidCancel said:

It's a really excellent design, solid as a rock on there. No modifications to the upper either.
You might want to check out Riflegear's CMMG based Spectre uppers.. their site seems to be down right now but give it a google later

Not at all, just very restricted. Cant have more than a 10 round mag, no threaded barrel, permanently pinned muzzle brake, no telescoping stock and if its there it must be permently pinned, pistol grip(usually this is the 1 out of 4 things that people keep on the gun. You can only have I think 1 of the 4 "bad" features. There might be another feature that I'm forgetting. Obviously no full auto, too.

$269 isn't too bad. CMMG charges $310 if you want them to install it on their upper...is it hard to do it myself? Never done it before..Also, how long was the turn around time for you to get the upper? It seems like they are still a bit flooded with orders.
Lionheart1827 said:
Ah, gotcha. Do you have to do paperwork just to buy it? It looks like Spikes extended their half off deal for Sept too. http://www.spikestactical.com/z/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=104_65&products_id=52
Jump on it! >.>

All of the above for a first time gun owner. I want to take it to the range for practice and keep it at home for protection eventually down the road getting a concealed permit.

^ Oh I meant from CMMG for the upper assembly, not the DD rail. :lol Also, are you using any sort of BUIS?
I was gonna suggest a full size 1911, but it might be a bit hard to conceal carry it :lol The best thing I'd suggest you should do is go and hold a lot of diff kind of guns and choose whatever feels best in your hand. Go with any of the big namers; glock, hk, springfield armory, beretta, etc. If you wanna use it for a home defense too, I'd say go for a compact size or bigger.

Oh, the upper install is super easy. Plug and play. Assembling the lower and lower parts kit is a bit more complicated, but there are plenty of instructions/videos on the web. Just watch out for flying springs. Also for the stock you'll need a special wrenchRapidCancel said:

The Mosin Nagant and Arisaka look sweet. How much do they go for?

Two black powder pistols.
Original Remington 1858 New Army .44, not the original drum in this picture. Only a little bluing left, most of it has turned brown (not rust )
This one is from 17xx sometime, converted from flintlock to percussion cap at a later date. Probably German, has some markings on it but I haven't been able to trace them.
Caliber .50. Sorry about the picture, but I cant find any other which I have uploaded.

I've shot a XD9 service numerous times and own an XD45. I find the grip more comfortable for my hands than a comparable Glock and prefer the trigger.
On a side note I have never had a better customer service experience than I have so far with Springfield Armory.
You should go to your local range and test fire some of the guns there.

Hey I got a quick question, where did you buy your CMMG upper from?

I mean its not the "same" badassness however, 22 ammo is so fucking cheap it actually sounds really good.
I think thats a great deal actually. Post ban .223 carbines here in NY fetch about 1000-1200 so we're talking half the price. Plus you'll be saving a ton of money on ammo.

^ Congrats! Post up some pics! CHL was a breeze, it was just realllyy long.

yeah all the AR-15's go north of $1000 for just a standard one.
The S&P M15-22 is completely made of polymer but at least comes with rails.

Armalite Lower (got lucky and found one at a gunshow)

Surefire 6P with Vltor mount

Just got back from the range with my brother. Fired his glocks and we fired around my .270(it was his first time shooting a bolt action), they are nice pistols. Got a nice tan also!
I'm going to the shooting range for the first time tomorrow. I've never fired a gun before. There's a brief introductory course for people like me, and then we get to pick and choose types of guns to fire (pay for ammunition). I'll start off with the basic pistol I guess. I'm pretty excited.
I just realized that what I said is in stark contrast to my avatar :lol
I was talking to my friend about it and he mentioned that in Alberta, they have or used to have some problems with people going into the ranges, getting a gun, and committing suicide so they had to start screening or something. Anyone know of problems like this with gun ranges?

I'm not sure of canada laws, but you only have to be 18 to buy a rifle/shotgun (except NYC and a few other places).

False. I walked into a shooting range in edmonton, having never shot before, just paid my money and shot a glock at a zombie target. 1 month ago.

I might pickup one of those cheap Hi Point 9mm's on Wednesday, the reviews seem good and you can't beat the price!

wow, why so cheap?
salva said:
made of wood and the Russians built so many and the design was rather simple. Great rifle from what I hear, especially for the price. I'll probably pick one up in the future.
I'm really warming up to the S&W MP 15-22, at only $500 MSRP its a great price for an AR platform plinker.

Yeah my buddy has it in addition to a bunch of other more expensive rifles. He said its not the best looking rifle, but damn for the price its very reliable and very accurate. Are you gonna get the 40 or the 9mm?

This is strictly range only? I'd say you should get a 5.56/.223 >.> You could always build your own and save a little money.
