    Not that I can recall. If so, not for about 50 years. I think that my mother may have bought something like that, for me, when I was a kid. I think it was a t-shirt, not a jersey.

    We are well-set. The AR/M4 system is totally optional, for us. We have several, but do not “need” them.

    Benelli M2, 12 gauge. (Have two, one with ghost ring sights. Realistically, I could get by,...

    “Drop-in” barrels CAN require fitting. The “few” failures to go into battery reinforce this statement. Regardless, this adds a variable.

    “USPSA Carry Optics” means that it is a match game/sport...

    Enjoy!

    I am VERY envious of those who can run “up to the desert” for some shooting! No opportunities to shoot freely, more than a few rounds, on publicly-owned land, here in SE Texas. I can hunt,...

    1. I cannot address lasers, based upon hands-on experience. I was not allowed to use lasers, on or off the clock, on firearms, while I worked for a PD. I have no idea how much light output any TRL...

    Yes, it is a shame that the owner of USFA seemed to have just stopped caring, and let USFA fall apart. The Standard is certainly well-fitted and well-finished. I have yet to shoot it.

    Not Gray222, but, if “family members who aren’t familiar with shooting” will trigger-jerk the whole weapon off-target, without using a laser, they will trigger-jerk the whole weapon off-target while...

    So. Very. Sad.

    Rest in peace.

    Further words fail me.

    The BLR has a VERY complex bolt assembly. It received some early praise, for being AR15-like, in design, but design and execution can be different, in the real world.

    The current Browning BLRs are Miroku-made. (Current meaning since some time in the Eighties, I would think.) Mine have only been lightly used, and only with .308 Winchester ammo, not 7.62 NATO, so, I...

    Plus, my $0.02. Mine is actually a G19x, but, it has a G45 upper, that I bought already milled for an ACRO, so, is a half-G45.

    Regarding the conceal-ability issue, I found that the G19 and G17 have been equally difficult to conceal, IWB and OWB. I have to drop all the way down to a “baby” Glock, to achieve noticeably better...

    Well, for what it’s worth, I just “re-bought” a G19. I had traded-away my three Gen4 G19 pistols, in 2020, because they were getting to be too harsh on my arthritic right hand and wrist, whereas the...
