Firearm BS thread

That Springfield Pro is from long before any second amendment shenanigans.

 

The DS Pro just got released. The incident I'm referring to happened in 2017.

 

I’ve had this gun since 2010. And it’s made by the custom shop.

 

You must be a time traveler because the DS Prodigy literally just released.

Yeah, that was the video that built so much hype for that gun. Only it turned out to be a dud.

 

Pro. As in Professional.

 

DS = double stack. I've only been referring to the new Prodigy, what the thread is about, and am saying I won't buy anything new from Springfield anymore because of shady past behavior.

 

Ranier Arms is pretty much doing the same thing now too.

 

I already have a Staccato, but was curious how this would stack up as a budget alternative. Seems like they've still got some issues to work out.

 

Staccato are good guns and run well. I don’t know that I’d spend $4k on one though!

 

That's only if you're getting something like an XC or XL. I have the P DPO and with taxes it ran me about $2700. A C2 would be around $2200ish give or take.

 

Sorry, only $2700, super cheap.

Jk I seriously want one though!

 

Lol yeah not the cheapest when you look at the number by itself, but pretty reasonable when you start comparing other boutique 1911/2011 builds, and what you're getting for the money. For duty-grade handguns, they're extremely fast and smooth shooters.

 

I hear so many good things about sig optics. That said, I closed my eyes and bit the bullet.

Nice! What's it going on top of?

 

Aero 9mm pistol is the plan. If that turns out to be too much optic for the gun, I could move it to a normal AR platform rifle.

 

I love my EXPS3. Big, beautiful eyebox and Eotech reticles make for super fast and easy acquisition. Great optics.

 

Good to hear. I was a little hesitant to spend that much on an optic and I want to keep bulk down. This gun is already heavier than I want it to be, but I want it to be reliable in all aspects above anything else.

 

Where do you all keep your firearm in the truck? I usually just keep the middle console empty and place it there.

I believe in Nevada you have to have it either on your body or hidden in a compartment.

I can't keep it on my belt because I would scratch everything in the truck.

 

While working....
