I love that there is a wasp crawling on the spent brass at the end. Very cool video.

I got some pics of the new addition! S&W M&P 15-22


I would have got a better pic with the suppressor on, but I can not get the flash hider off. I took it back to the shop and they are going to get it off for me.

We've had a pair of high school exchange students from Germany staying with us for the past two and a half weeks, and in their short time here we've tried to cram a lot of US/Arizona experiences in that they can't get back home - the Grand Canyon, Sedona, high pines mountain bike rides, really good southwestern food, moto rides through the desert to small town diners, etc.

Yesterday, my friend George and I took them out shooting.



They started out with the 10/22, and got to play with George's .223, a .22 mag Ruger single action pistol (a favorite of both, in part because of the manageable size and in part because of the cowboy look), a Hawken replica blackpowder rifle (.50 cal, loaded light), and a 12 ga. pump.

They were both a little intimidated at first, started to have a lot of fun, and then were done after one round each with the shotgun.

Awesome! Good for you to let them experience a little bit of Americana and some western shooting/eating/MTN bike riding culture. Heck... some people that live here never get to do that! Welcome to America!! I hope they had a great time. Again, thanks for sharing some of what we are. We need more of that. America gets a bad rap and experiences like this hopefully can change a few minds.

I believe that S&W pins their flash hiders, and they are destroyed in the removal process.  You will likely need a new flash hider for the gun.

This is entirely based on one experience with an M&P in 5.56

If you were looking to buy your first 9mm handgun, what would you buy and why?

A Glock 19 or 17. One of the nicest out of the box guns, period. The new S&W would be my 2nd choice.

[ducatiz]

it depends.

i think I'd advise a full size framed gun.  steel or polymer frame is irrelevant and a matter of taste.  you can learn any gun.  im partial to the cz guns but i also have many others.  i like the kahr or keltec for carry.

I just went through the process of choosing my 1st pistol, also in 9mm.  I went to my local range and tried out all the guns on my "maybe" list.  I fired a Glock 17, A ruger sr9 and a Springfield xd 9.  I ended up with the gun that fit my hand the best and fired the best.  The SA xd9 has been great for me, all 3 were nice guns for different reasons.

I don't like Sigs, trigger travel sucks, but can be modded.
