A lot of people like Magpul mags/grips/stocks/sights/random accessories. You can find Magpul at a lot of places. A nice all-in-one place to buy gear is http://www.brownells.com/.
midwayusa, bravocompany, brownells, joeboboutfitters, your local gun store, ect. It shouldnt be that hard to find pretty much anything AR you could want.

Here's a LINK to the AR discussion page at arfcom, there's a thread at the top with links to various deals on various parts...The concern I have isn't finding parts.. it's finding parts at a good price. The local gun shop around me is really hit or miss with prices.
On a bright note my local Academy store stopped limiting ammo purchases on everything except 9mm and .22:awe: They've got pretty much everything in stock and overflowing, especially .223, now I just need to find time to hit the range
So they actually have/stock .22lr?

imma bout to sell my damn Ruger LCP because it uses .380 ammo D:
it's impossible to find where i live...heres to hoping my shipment from online purchase actually comes in
Seriously? I once didn't shoot for 6 months due to financial constraints. I pulled out my 1911 after said period and went through 100 rounds of cheap brass without a single hiccup, and I've shot it dry with similar performance. Nor do I carefully lube it, I clean it with break-free, that's my lube. I think you've shot some shitty or not-broken-in 1911s.
And I'll admit Glock/modern field strips are much simpler to do, but in terms of parts the only real difference is a barrel bushing, and even if someone doesn't know precisely what it does they can still remember how to put it back together. Why should anyone need to know what the sere does? Granted it's good to know, but said knowledge is not vital to the function of the weapon.
I could go on, but you're saying a lot of stuff here that's not making much sense.
Cause when it wears and accuracy goes to shit...you need to be able to understand why. When the sear breaks, and it can happen you get issues...yeah you gotta check that shit.
I am making perfect sense. The gun is designed with parts that are fitted. That shit wears out over time.
jeez
yeah all those crimes with handguns are going to be stopped by dissallowing us to buy surplus rifles
LOL
I have to repost this to a local board

Iwb is fine in the winter when u always have a jacket.
I know tons of guys that IWB year round in IL
I honestly don't know how it's comfortable. Even if it's perfectly concealed I've found it still limits movement. You can't lay on your side/back comfortably, for starters. That and given that I almost never wear undershirts or baggy clothes, any attempt at IWB will print on me.
Pocket carry is just more convenient IMO unless you feel the need to carry a larger gun. Especially with the spread of sub-compact 9s on the market.
ha my one buddy IWBs a les baer full size most of the time
when hes not its an airweight in the cargo pocket
he doesn't wear baggy shirts, just the cheap short sleeve button ups from old navy most of the time
even in t shirts its hard to tell
how much do you plan to lay on your side in public where you would be carrying?
That applies to any gun though. Shoot an ar and you'll eventually break something. Shoot a glock and you'll need to replace things, a Sig 226, 92fs, ect. It's not just a 1911 thing to say it'll wear out with use.
That and no matter what gun it is, if you have a problem and don't know what is going on its best to take it to a gunsmith and learn as he looks it over.
I enjoy both my 1911s and other types of guns but even so there comes a point I won't mess with them and take em to someone who knows what to do
It's not just laying on my side. If I'm sitting at a desk or table and lean forward/to the sides, or stretch, there will be significant printing on a even a compact gun. If I lean back and/or shift to the side in my seat, I feel it pressing into me.
I think the main issue is my body type. I'm 5'11" with a medium frame and am very vertically even; so I'm not so lanky that my clothing can hang off me (to hide something) nor do I have any curves or recesses big enough to tuck the butt of a gun into.
The problems aren't insurmountable, I could make minor alterations to my wardrobe and likely be fine, but the additional discomfort just isn't worth it to me.
