YAGT: OMG I love guns

[Artdeco]

CCW class tomorrow, going to carry a Glock 39, Alien Gear IWB holster.

Have a Glock 31, with 40 cal and 9mm barrels for range/home defense, just ordered my first batch of ammo for the guns, we have a free public range here, woot.

Thinking of adding to the collection, want to mod the heck out of a 10/22 for target use, and a Glock 27 with a 3 barrel set up like the Glock 39.

I went to my gun club and bought myself a Christmas present that I actually wanted. It's a Walther PPQ M-2 in 45ACP. I've been looking for a new 45 for a bit now as the 1911 I have is one that I don't want to scratch up as guns that get shot a lot are prone to do. I'd been looking at Walther for a while now, as I loved my PPX in 9mm. The club had it on sale so with my gift card I was able to get him for under $600. It's got a very interesting trigger on him, that is so smooth in it's pull. It also has the shortest reset I've seen on a pistol, at least on a factory I should say. I did have to change out the back strap as the default one caused the grip to be too small for my monster hands. Once I've done that I have to say I love it. It reminds me a lot of the HKs in terms of grip, but with the trigger of a aftermarket.

Exactly how I felt about my 9mm ppq m2, was trying to decide between it and the vp9. No regrets with the PPQ.

Nice, while the sheriff's dept was printing me this week for CCW permit, I asked the sheriff if he'd sign off on Class 3 stuff, and he said no problem, took the time to give me the names and numbers of a couple local FFL class 3's that would work with me.

I'm thinking a short barreled shotgun and a multi caliber silencer, dunno, everything's so damn expensive

Ordered a 10/22 takedown the other day, thinking of building a cheap AR pistol for a car gun.

That AK one is very cool. I'll have to watch it when I get home so I have sound. I didn't realize the piston hit the gas block (sometimes). Was that just because he had the gas tube off probably? Maybe it's explained in the video.

Probably takin a ride to the nearest Cabela's this weekend sometime with my brother. Definitely ain't gonna be Friday cause it'll be a frickin madhouse in there. We were in Cabela's a few years ago on a Black Friday... no thanks. I've been lookin/thinkin about picking up a 1911 (FINALLY!), so there's a chance I'll come home this weekend with one. So far I think my choice is a Remington R1 Enhanced (I've seen one w/ a threaded barrel there before; that'd be my choice for whenever I get my mitts on a suppressor):

Have always liked the things I'd seen about the Remington R1's myself and have resisted getting one.

Have enough pistols all ready and money is a bit tight here, but probably what I would get for a 1911 personally.

Palmetto State Armory has their blemished stripped lowers on sale again for $49 + shipping, really tempted to pick up a couple and build a cheap AR pistol car gun.

Hickok45 is one of the best, if not the best.

Tim at Military Arms Channel is good too. https://www.youtube.com/user/Sturmgewehre

Have watched a few of theirs too, agree, they're pretty good.

Still on the fence over FPSRussia, his fake accent is irritating as hell. The death of his business partner is disconcerting as well.

I side stepped all this BS by just filing a bunch of form 1s before January 1st. Two home made suppressors coming my way...assuming the BATFE doesn't find a way to reject my applications. At least I didn't make the serial number of one of them "FTBATFE"

http://www.hawktecharms.com/ had a nice trigger and mag release. Paid $200 for the ruger, $100 for the add ons, $75 for the sweet 16 scope, $100 for the stock. 5 rnds at 50yds, in a sled, quarter size group. Nice. Now I need to practice.

 

[olds]

.. 5 rnds at 50yds, in a sled, quarter size group...

What ammo?

 

[highland145]

What ammo?

I bought 1K rnds of 1980's date sellier & bellot. Came in an ammo can and is very waxy but the rounds are true. Unlike the white box stuff I've been getting. I wanted to get the rifle sighted in for one round instead of the mutli's that I have.

Never had a misfire .22 growing up. Have had many since the mid 90's with the bulk packs.

As another poster already said, there are some decent folks on YT.

I like MrGunsandGears, Iraqveteran8888 (too bad the older guy of the pair passed away), TheHogUSMC, NutnFancey (but I do not like his on and on rambling, make the video longer than needs be), TCArmory, TheLateBoyScout.

James Yeager is ok but he has attitude problem.

 

[Artdeco]

LOL, I caved and bought a couple of PSA stripped lowers for $49, still not sure if I'll register them as pistols or rifles, really digging the AR pistols with a Sig brace... Will have to decide when I pick them up from FFL.

 

[BlitzPuppet]

About time I got this done.

Speaking of Hickok45, his channel was apparently just shut down. For "repeated violations of Google's policies."

IV8888 is just a back woods bubba. I can't stand a lot of the tacticool "improvements" he does to guns. Barry was a chill guy that had a lot of knowledge and seemed like a great guy to be around. Eric is just awkward as fuck.

Nutn- No, just no. I have all of his vids hidden from youtube because of how abrasive the guy is.

ForgottenWeapons- one of the best channels on youtube.

Hickok- pretty cool when you want to see some of the weapons out there get a pretty good run down/review.

Nutn and IV8888 remind me of an older FPSRussia.

WOW. What a load of dick. I don't watch hickok45 as much as I used to, but I still check out a video from time to time. That really sucks. It definitely makes sense some channels got together and created Full30.com, for exactly shit like this.

Talked a bit with my buddy last night, he mentioned that the BATFE has amended their policy on suppressors (going into effect in 180 days I believe). People with trusts will need to have all principles involved get photographed, fingerprinted, etc. But now the CLEO sign-off requirement has been waived for individuals filing; the CLEO just needs to be *notified* now (this is true for trusts too now, I think). Oh man, now I want to get a suppressor now that I don't have to do that bullshit!

 

[HumblePie]

Ugh on the prices going up again because of the EO scare. Wasn't really looking to buy anything new again, but was hoping prices of a few items would come down. Still several pieces on my would like to have list, but I'm not buying anything over MSRP. Only recent thing was helped a couple of co-workers put together some AR15 builds. Nothing fancy, but very serviceable.

That's a shame. I wonder what the deal was on that . . .

I can't imagine it was because of content, must be something else, otherwise dozens of YouTube channels would be closed too.

From his Facebook page:

Apparently, Google + is more sensitive about firearms related postings and such. I never use Google+ and did not even realize the videos were being posted over there, I guess. I will keep you posted via Facebook here and the Hickok45andson channel. I have communicated with YouTube via email this morning, and hopefully, we'll be able to get the channel back up soon. I had just posted a new video.

 

[IGemini]

Whatever it was, seems to have been resolved. The channel is active again.

 

[Artdeco]

It was the content, his YouTube stuff was automatically posted to Google+, and got their panties in a wad. Fixed now.

So ruger is making this now, probably the first of many models -

Looks great to me, I look forward to the day when I can order a 10/22 from the factory that has an integrated suppressor.
