    Over the years I've accumulated over 20 Glock mags and various parts from rebuilding glocks for people
    So I ordered a couple of psa dagger lowers
    https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa...r-full-size-s-complete-polymer-frame-fde.html
    And this slide was 83.00 yesterday when I bought it
    TRYBE Defense Glock 19 9mm Pistol Slide - Version 2 - NO BASE PLATE Up to 75% Off, Blazin' Deal w/ Free S&H — 29 models
    I already have a new barrel someone gave me
    I'll have like 190.00 in a complete pistol
    And I'm converting glock 23 .40 to 9mm
    For cheaper shooting.

    I agree, the Sig P210 is pretty special.

    I started out with a P226 was my duty gun for first 10-12 years then we went Glock to HK and now back to Glock. Never liked the HK. Have become a Glock guy. Had Les the owner of Bar-sto barrels customized my G20. Earlier this year picked up an Agency arms customized G17, wife has a G19, and one of my boys has a G29.

    Have only ever fired one HK pistol. A .40 USP compact I think it was. Was a friend's first 'real' pistol. He eventually settled in with Glock. Pistol that I am proficient with is a FN. Wanting to move to CZ but unable/willing to put in the training time with it for now (did a lot of drilling to become easily confident with the FN). A P-10 is just sitting in it's case waiting for the day when I decide it's time.


    Might be a little while before this one sends any downrange. I can't decide what to do for glass so I'm just gonna ignore it for a bit. They call it a Timber Tactical. Honestly I was tired of buying plastic stocks. It's a lam, but it is wood! 22lr.

    I too have been watching them. Midway was first I saw that had stock...wood version. I wish that Bergara was manufacturing in house. They subbed them out to Germany I think...maybe Turkey. Wondering if the barrel is Italian at least.

    I almost bought a Springfield 2020 until my gunstore told me about all the complaints about the accuracy and build quality

    The 2020 is a nice looking rifle. Yep, I read the bad stuff too. Honestly I shouldn't have bought a Hammerli based on internet chit chatter, but the chance to have a toggle action for $500 was too good to pass.

    I work with this kid she's like 20 years old and just rented a house
    I asked if she has anything for home defense
    She said her dad gave her some guns and taught her how to shoot and clean them
    but she doesn't know the brands lol
    She shows me a pic of 2 ak47 underfolders like this 1792194040325.png a thumbhole stocked ak47 and a modernized synthetic stocked ak47
    I was shocked absolutely not expecting that
    from her
    She also had a ak47 style 12 gauge semi auto
    I gave her a olight sabre flashlight to carry
    With her switchblade.

    That’s a good father & nice gifts.

    Sounds like she is well prepared to defend herself & her castle. Maybe just needs a pistola & a good knife.

    Yeah I wouldn't expect that out of 99.9 % of people either. Esp 3 AK/AK style weapons, and thats it... Is her dad/ family foreign/foreign background?

    WV coal miner just a gun guy with a preference for ak47s I guess.
    I told her anytime she wants I have a range if she wants to try any pistols I have access to just about everything on the market
    Me or my friends have.
