Meet my new friend! (gun thread)

Do you have any recommendations for speedloaders?

Just about all the ones I've seen on shelves are either those huge "fistful" competition things or the small black cylinder with the silver knob.

I was looking in this month's American Rifleman and I saw the Safariland Comp I speedloader (page 78). It seems like it would take up a lot less space, but I'm wondering how positive the load would be...

Not that I can actually carry right now - twenty some states trust me to carry, but not my own home state of New Jersey :S - but I was looking into a convenient way to carry five extra.

Honestly, speedloaders is something I haven't spent a lot of time dealing with.

I know some guys that use the Safariland successfully and like it, but I couldn't tell you any more then that.

Now, using a different manufacture's magazine in your 1911 to get a better drop, without using a true weighted magazine...that I could tell you about.;)

You may hate to hear it, but I still have no plans to pick up any version or brand of 1911. :P

My next handgun purchase will probably be a pair of Glocks- a full size and a sub-compact to match. Of course, those will be put on hold if I can find an AWB leftover "LEO only" marked AR10 with all the goodies.

Nice shottie. I'm still trying to decide between one of those and a Mossberg 500.

Good choice on the 20 ga, too. 12s can be brutal.

A Surefire would be a nice addition.

I recommend the Mossberg 500 to anyoen and everyone. They are absotively posilutely 100% no questions asked reliable.

They're not all as smooth as some 870s, but that can be worked on by a competant smith.

Love that SureFire.

That's badass. I'm a HUGE Glock fan, huge fan. I've got a Glock 17 that I've put around 14,000rds through. Still accurate, still reliable, all in all one hell of a weapon.

Just picked it up today. Winchester Defender 1300 20 gauge shotgun.



Oh my. It's black - don't you know that makes it an "assault weapon" which has only one purpose: to kill as many people as possible! It's evil!

Now if it had been a marine version in stainless steel, then it would be okay.

Not only ok, but I would probably wet myself...that's on my "list" of stuff I want to get.:D

me too... i've had the mossberg 500 w/ pistol grip, 7 rounds in the tube and one up the pipe. all black. a bit rough, but totally realiable and very affordable.

got me a surefire too... incredibly bright. and good warranty too, my two year old got the thing all wet, corroded the batteries and messed up the tail cap... surefire replaced it no questions asked, for free.

I have a Glock 21 (.45ACP) and a Glock 27 (.40) and love 'em! My favorite is the 21, but the 27 is a bit more convenient for concealed carry because it is smaller.

There is a way cool accessory that you can buy for for concealed carry. It looks like a really big clip (like the metal clip on a push-button ballpoint pen). I saw it advertised in America's First Freedom and highly recommend them. It's called the "clipdraw". Check out http://www.clipdraw.com for details. I don't know how they are for other guns, but I easily bolted them on my Glocks and swear by them.
