Lookin' good.

I just got a red dot and magnifier on my AR15. Nothing wild. I went somewhat cheap with the set up since I do not use it.... maybe 5 times a year. I need to get out there more but I can't find anyone to split some ammo with to make it cheaper to buy.

Done, stock will change when my order from PSA arrives.
Shot it yesterday afrernoon too.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Looks good Justin, one day I might have to get around to building one.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Gonna bring it to the guy who built the upper. Needs the gas port opened up some. She short strokes. Fires, rejects, but fails to strip a round most of the time and fails to lock open on empty mag

Re: First Firearms II
 

Sounds like the gas line has a crimp on the bend. If it isnt dirt at the frond end of the port.

Re: First Firearms II
 

I think I'm gonna buy an M9. Everybody line up and laugh at me. :D

Re: First Firearms II
 

nah its a 11.5 barrel. im better smaller than needed gas port. gonna have him measure it first

Re: First Firearms II
 

Why laugh? Its reliable, big, accurate, big, can hold a boat almost as well as an old computer monitor, and its big. :r

Re: First Firearms II
 

I did forget its a short barrel. Probably true the smaller port wont vent enough pressure.

Re: First Firearms II
 

I know, right?
I figured it'd be good for pounding nails. Plus it'd be a great gun for my wife and daughter to learn on. Move up from those .22's up to 9mm and not have to worry about the jump. It'd give them some confidence before going to a little .380 or a little 9.

At $600 new, I think they're a bit high. I'd think I could get a second-hand hardly used for 400 bucks.
Or 10 bucks for one that's been in action and racks itself. :lr

Re: First Firearms II
 

its all good. guy who put it together is gonna open the hole up a lil

Re: First Firearms II
 

Or get the Taurus counter part PT 99 or PT 92 just as reliable only difference is where the safety is and about 2/3 the cost of the Baretta.

Re: First Firearms II
 

Bah. No likey.
I looked at prices, and for all the more I'd save, I'd much rather get what I know I'd like. Actually it's the M9A1 I want.
Mainly because it'll go on my leg and I can triple wield.
Then I'll just need to get a couple of those James Bond guns you flick out of your sleeves and I'll be set. :tu

Re: First Firearms II
 

A couple of years ago that's what my son wanted and I tried to convince him to get a 1911 in 45 caliber. He got the M9 and loves it and I gotta say it is the sweetest shooting gun we have. Sweet.

Re: First Firearms II
 

i want the m9a3 when they release it

Re: First Firearms II
 

I understand that the contract for the m9a3 got shot down.
Will they still build the gun for regular folk?

Re: First Firearms II
 

from what i understand yes

ETA: http://info.beretta.com/m9a3

Re: First Firearms II
 

Thanks, Justin.
I signed up. I sure hope she comes in black. :tu

Re: First Firearms II
 

Got a chance for a 1911 at what seems like a decent price. It's a build based on an Essex frame. Anyone here have personal experience with an Essex build?

Re: First Firearms II
 

If not, there is always cerakote. I like the color though.
