Can't we just show each other our firearms without all of the political crap from this tool? Why haven't the mods took action yet? Can't one simply move on if they don't like what they see? My ignore list just grew by 100%.

An armed society is a polite society.

Sadly Washington state has fallen to the magazine ban, untraceable gun ban, and other bad stuff.

Well here's an MG Compilation to lighten the mood.

I had tried to figured out what kind of flip-up optics the guy had used at the MG3, hadn't find them but they are not stock installed, thats for sure

Florida based gunmaker KelTec donated $200,000 worth of their 9mm SUB2000 rifles to Ukraine. An Odessa, Ukraine based buyer of these firearms went dark after the invasion began so the company decided to do something about it.

The 40 S&W is nice - all it is, is a short 10mm round, the Glock 10mm is too much to handle for most folks...

There are several agencies (I'm acquainted with) going back to 9mm because the magazine holds more rounds and a +P Gold dot or Hydrashok is quite effective.

But you're right, a well placed .22 short kills like a 45...

Very few of us are running .40 caliber handguns on duty for sure. Most have gone away from the .40. I'm glad we run 9mm.

I'd love to hear how you like it. Was looking seriously at getting one for some coyote hunting. Went in a different direction but still want one.

Great carabin. Sorry for my little English, but for me the most important thing was - how it take aim in my hands. And in this regard, it turned out to be ideal for me, although the Benelli Argo is very good as well.
But the Benelli does not have such a beautiful tree as the Browning ))

I would imagine that it wouldn't unless it has weak magnets or you hit a really big bump. I find strong magnets really hold things in. Interesting design where you cock your gun on it.

A firearm should always be ready for offensive/defensive use. Why a person would carry without one already in the chamber is beyond me.

For that firearm to be ready for use, it should be where you left it. That magnetic holder will not hold the gun in a crash. The gun will come loose and you may not know where it edns up.

If you are going to mount a gun holder in your car, mount an actual holster so the gun can't come loose in a crash.

I wouldn't use that mount anyway. I want my gun on me.

Same here.

The only gun holder I use in a car is a basic security box in case I have to run in somewhere my gun is not allowed. It is only a short-term solution since those boxes are not really secure.

I have had a DDM4V7LW for about ten years. I mounted a Eotech XPS2 Red dot and Eotech quick release 3x multiplier. I suggest replacing the trigger with a short pull 1.5lb. You are going to love shooting it at the range.
