I'm still trying to picture cyrus clearing a house. I'm thinking the little dog took the lead, tiffers held the gun, and cyrus held the phone waiting to press the final "1" when the dog alerted on something.

As far as the question about M4s go, I have a S&W MP15T and I really like it.  Got it dressed out quite similar to the one I carried in Afghanistan, with the exception of a slightly longer barrel.  Shoots really well with almost anything other than Wolf ammo.  These are great rifles that won't break the bank, and as posted above: might want to get one before we get a Dem in office, because then they are GONE.

My buddy Matt just picked up a Kimber Pro Carry II, stainless with night sights.

His has been flawless so far. (I'm jealous, my Kimber came a little too tight from the factory). So that's a positive note for Kimber.

And is using a CTAC Holster, which he seems to be enamored with.

I just went over to xdtalk.com and they look very, very VS-ish.  

It looks like VS has struck again, they're buying gun forums too.  I thought most Canadians hated guns

M1911.org still is good.

So is TNGunwoners.com

I haven't been to xdtalk in over a year.  Poopie.

Guns Rock.

I was in the shop the other day looking at all the goodies.  They are making some nice M-4 clones now.  Post ban they're as small as what the military gets.  At least regular military.  I didn't get one because I have no home defense use for it but it was tempting.  They had a nice tactical 870 too.  That, I may go back and get.

I've got both.  A Bushmaster post-ban M4A3 and a Remington 870 Tactical.  I love the both of them.  I also have a Ruger P95 9mm.

Cyrus, good to see you in these parts.  Which M4 do you have?  Ive been checking out the Rock River.  Also been drooling over the PS90....

I looked at a PS90.  I really, really wanted one, especially since it's nice for lefties (I shoot lefty) but I couldn't see spending $1700 on it.

[rgramjet]

Ive seen them stripped for $1300...

The ammo is hideously priced.  Would almost make sense to get the FN 2000 in .223 but it feels a little too lunch boxy....

[Smiling End]

The ammo was definitely another consideration.  I've seen them cheap on the internet at a few places but getting a local dealer to honor one of those prices is pretty hard. 

I'm not a big fan of the FS2000.  Anthony, from the Opie & Anthony Show, has one and loves it.  He posted a video on youtube of him firing it.  Here's the vid:

I just saw this story on the Consumerist:

That story was posted on the TGO board. He was using his own reloads, and there's no way to guarantee he didn't do a shotty job of that particular round....

[Smiling End]

What's the TGO board? 

Surprisingly for all the guns I own (the gf thinks 3 is a lot) I don't really have any sort of active online involvement in anything.  I've got enough "gun nut" friends IRL so far to fulfill that.  Plus I have a friend that's a civilian engineer at an Army base and I have access to a big ROTC brigade if I ever have an issue or question.
