Have you given the Talon Grips a try? Cheap, reversible, and thin. I really like the rubber version when I had my XD

Is there any manual that I can get.. Showing just the basic of an AR? Or a PSA one?

Good stuff to know, thanks!

Hmmmmm that round has never really crossed my mind.

The 300blk was designed around shorter barrels and suppressor use, from what I understand. Not much use/fun for us in Cali. That is why I sold mine I couldn't take full advantage of the round, just my opinion. The only reason I bought one was that the rounds at the time were fairly inexpensive, I think I found them at Midway for under $10 a box. Also I didn't have to buy more magazines just to hold a different round.
Don't get me wrong from what I have seen the round is a good all purpose round for not a lot of money ( I haven't checked prices for 300blk in a while). It just wasn't for me.

It's a great hunting round as well, for places that won't allow .223 to hunt

I just joined the other week. Still haven't had time to browse it all the way yet.

I picked up a Traditions Pursuit UL .50 cal muzzleloader and this week I also got a S&W Bodyguard .380 with the built in laser. Pre-Christmas gifts to myself

Cool, let me know how you like that .380.

Will do Mike. I haven't even shot it yet but plan to use it as a backup/off duty while I'm at work. With my small frame it's hard to conceal a G23.
I am loving my Shield!!

Who here shoots the two dot night sights? or the Straight 8? I have always been a 3 dot guy but I went with the two dot Ameriglo night sights for my shield, I will get them intalled in short order, my question for anyone is if they think target aquisition is any faster with two as opposed to 3 dots?

I have some 9mm ammo that I just recently shot. I have had it for a few months now before I shot it. It looks dirty and it is reman. I have had a few bullets that where in the mag and did not fire. Happened prolly about 10 times.
Should I sell this ammo cheap or is there anything I should be concerned about if I keep it and waste it?
I also don't want to sell it if that is bad.
Ideas?

I wouldn't sell. Shoot through them and be very careful about misfires and clean your 9 well.
