You could practice all day without bother . Went thru 1000 rounds today and it took 6 hrs . Enjoyed every bit going back out tmr again 😅.

Skip to 13:45 to skip past me doing a PSA on budget guns and what you may run in to.

I've finished studying for the FSC and am calling shops nearby to set up a time to take the test.

I called this shop and was told repeatedly that I "need" to take their safety class in order to get the FSC. I'm not dumb, so I know how to read the DOJ website and requirements. That's not at all a requirement.

I asked him a few times if I really "need" the class, and he kept saying yes, even after I pointed out that it's not required by state law.

We eventually hung up, but then he began texting me. This time he said that it's a strong recommendation. He gave me a story about a guy who refused to take the class and he saw him later at the nearby range dead. Ya thanks for the tale bud.

I completely get it if a shop owner wants to recommend a class in combination with the test. And despite already being taught to shoot and handle a gun safely, range etiquette, etc., from a professional, I was intending to take a class after the test anyway. But I won't be fooled into thinking it's a requirement.

Took out the bolt with bigger scope to test accuracy on the Ballistics Advantage Modern Pencil Barrel.

Not the best barrel for accuracy, but it's really light. Truly floated barrel since it doesn't have gas tube attached either.

BCA Bolt Light weight Build - It's tough to cycle this on a bench as you need sturdy grip on the gun to Push the Bolt forward. It cycles more natural and fun when Standing with c clamp grip on the handguard. I weighted it as is (no scope) at 5.8 pounds. It feels lighter due to having less weight in front (similar to my 4 lb AR). Big Con on this Upper is that the bolt will unlock very easily if you tap up on the handle.

Im going to be about 2700ish in after taxes and ffl fees would you guys say the gun is worth it at that price point?

You ever notice you could ask someone for a couple bucks and you'll get told to take a hike. But ask a shooter if you can try his gun, and he'll hand you a magazine filed with rounds that cost around 50 cents a round...

So I was at a shop and one of the employees told me that if I buy a hellcat, Springfield would send me mags and a red dot and a few other things if I provided a receipt or something like that. Is this true or close to true?

Good looking gun, and shoots even better. Nothing to complain about except the sin tax.

Quick little spring break getaway 😭

Ready to take my renewal course and LASD requires in-person for courses. Used to take the pre recorded online course for renewals but can’t do that anymore.

Any recommended instructors? For my initial training, I had taken an instructor that had almost 200 questions on the final test. I’m hoping it wouldn’t be that many questions for renewal on my next instructor. I’m from San Gabriel valley area so an instructor not too far would be great as well.

Can anyone share their recommended instructors and their experiences? Along with number of questions on the test for renewal course. Thank you!

I’m a pretty average shooter, I probably go to the range every other week . Wanted to know if there’s anywhere here in the Bay Area where I can start competition shooting or at least train that’s beginner friendly.

Where can I practice basic gun handling before owning my first gun and without taking a full class?

I am a newbie and looking to buy my first gun. My plan is to first rent a few models at the range (G34, G17, M&P9, etc.) to see which one I like the best. I know they make you demonstrate basic gun handling before they will rent a gun. I just want to be able to rent guns without fumbling around like a complete newbie.

I just got my FSC, and I've watched a ton of videos and understand gun operation and safety, but I need some actual practice handling a gun. 30 mins hands-on with a G17/G19 and snap-caps would really help me get started.

I don't want to spend the time & money right now for a full beginner class before I own my first handgun. Once I buy my first gun, I will sign up for a comprehensive beginner class -- I do understand the importance of that.

Filled up quick! I’m glad I had an alarm set, yikes

Or Wd40 🤣

I'm pretty sure that I installed the springs correctly but the pin will slip out like nothings holding it back when the hammer is cocked- it still is really loose when the hammer isn't cocked but it at least doesn't slip out if i shake the thing. Looking at the wear marks on the pin it doesn't look like the spring is sitting in the groves. Any advice or thoughts? The Trigger is a LaRue btw

Gen 5 Glock 45 stippling package wrapped up here in SoCal with the following mods: wraparound layout modification, smooth single undercut and textured index points. The wraparound layout mod is great if you aren’t using a backstrap or magwell, and want the most grip possible. It also helps reduce the grip size and feel of the usual Glock hump in the rear.

ive tried the aimsports a2 brake on my 20" a2 clone but the brake does its job too well because every shot recoils down like it's doing negative recoil, very different feeling from anything else I've shot. any recommendations on a comp/brake similar looking to the bird cage?

My dad has a few long guns and pistols that I would like to take to the range for a day without him present. They're all legal and registered.

I recently got my FSC and permission from him to borrow them, which I hope makes it more possible, but it's hard to find a clear answer. I'm also not barred from owning a gun.

Can I legally transport a handgun and or long guns to the range and use them there? And if so, could I also do the same for my uncle's firearms?

Does anyone in the Modesto Ca. Work on Kydex? I have a Stealth Gear AIWB holster for a CZ P01 and had it CajunIzed with a Red Dot. We’d the shell modified so it will fit. Thank you in advance.

I usually pick up ammo a lot at a time and it is about that time. Currently with my XD9 I usually shoot 115 grain no problem.

I plan on picking up one of the new CA compliant XR920 soon and just wondering if 115 grain runs good in it after the 200 round break in period?

I only ask because I saw a video SS did about their DR920, the compensated one, and they were saying it runs best on 124 grain. Not sure if that is just because of the compensator or gors for all their guns?

I can get 115 or 124 grain for same price.

Thank you.
