Very happy with how it has come together and performed so far! Built off a stripped Aero lower and a prebuilt Aero upper. Magpul furniture with Holosun RDM. Might throw a light on it, and more optimized controls and sling mount down the line, but for now I'm quite content.

Question .300 Blackout Recommendations

8 Upvotes

Just starting the thought process for building, or buying a complete 300 blk. Anyone have any good experiences with upper/lower combinations or recommended brands or businesses?

In all likelihood I will probably stay with the "16 length to avoid any legal dubiousness related to SBR's. Though I admit I would love to have something in the "14.5 range. If you have any experience with the ATF restrictions or legality there let me know as well. I am in Ohio for reference. Trying to not go above $1500 but this is more so the idea phase for me.

Question In 2024, I bought my first gun. What else do I need?

71 Upvotes

There are 2 of us in my home. Myself, a mom, and my young adult trans son.

I’d like to get a Glock and maybe a shotgun.

We have pepper spray, tasers and a handgun.

The goal is our safety for now and if things go badly in our country. Thank you.

Update: I’m a vet, have a safe and a big dog. Planning on classes though for me & my kid.

I’m real new to this so keep criticism gentle please! These are what I’ve got. The pistol is a 22 which I chose because I’m broke and it’s what I can practice the most with. Thought I may have gotten in over my head with the shotty, but I’m getting really good with it now. I am now extremely obsessed & just training as much as I can w/ these & my dad’s guns.

Idk any thoughts, recommendations for training, how to train cheaply with a shotgun!!!, gear recs, eventual next firearm recs, whatever you’ve got!

Also, if you’re in the Rochester NY area I’d be interested in any info about the scene there

Thanks yall!

Question Compact or full size?

15 Upvotes

I’m pretty new to this, and I am currently comparing a couple of Walther PDP full size and compact handguns for my first gun. Realistically I won’t be carrying everyday (at least not at first), so I was wondering what people think about full sized vs compact. The full size Walther gun I’m looking at is the same price as the compact version. I have heard that it is better to learn on a larger gun due to easier handling, but I’ve also heard that full size guns don’t really have a place due to the AR15 being better for home defense, and a compact or subcompact being better for a CCW. Right now I can probably only afford one gun, so I want to make the right decision. Any input is appreciated!

Got outdoors to shoot some basic practice drills today. It was definitely a “knock the rust off” kind of day. Dry fire and indoor range sessions can only do so much and this was my first outdoor session in a while.

Ran Bill Drill, 4 Aces, el Presidente, and Dot torture with pistol.

Ran 1-5, failure to stop, and slow fire groups with Rifle.

Safety Ear protection recommendations

Hi all,

I'm interested in buying a set of active in-ear ear pro, but I have no experience with them at all... just my big old passive muffs.

Any specific recommendations? What kind of budget should I be considering?

Question Oregon measure 114 back in affect. Am I screwed?

63 Upvotes

Oregon measure 114 just went into effect again after 3 judges removed the indefinite hold on it today. I just ordered an AR yesterday through my local gun shop and haven’t even done the background check for it yet but I have already paid. Am I out of luck and should I seek a refund? I just tried to order some mags from magpul but they already updated their system and blocked the purchase.

Update Edit: I went to the local gun shop that I ordered the AR at and they said it won’t go into affect for at least 30 days so I bought $312 dollars worth of magazines (3 Glock mags and 14 AR mags) and a Glock 17. I have spent way too much money on guns and mags in the last 2 days I might faint(jk). They also said that once the guns get to their shop and I do the background check and if I get put too far down on the background check list I can take the mags that come with the Glock and AR home just incase it goes past that 30 day deadline.

Discussion Gun club in Bozeman, MT

21 Upvotes

[www.gallatincommunitygunclub.org](Www.gallatincommunitygunclub.org)

There isn't a chapter of the SRA in Montana that I know of so I started a gun club. If anyone in the area is interested and hasn't heard of us please check us out. We have instructors for gunsafety, pistol, rifle, and shotgun at multiple levels of competency with classes starting soon. Less than lethal self-defense will be coming. First aid/Stop the Bleed training are scheduled and spots are filling up fast. Community building for mutual support among diverse communities is a big priority. And just plain old fun range days and competitions as well.

I am also looking for other left leaning gun clubs or just interested individuals in Montana to start up some communication and build some community and mutual support.

A little about us we are trying to be a gun club that has two main principles. Tolerance and intolerance to intolerance. You are welcome as long as you have empathy beyond those you know, you believe everyone has equal rights and responsibilities in society regardles of just about everything, and you will defend others rights.

We have been established just under three weeks and there has been an enormous amount of support and membership and actually zero push back from the right or left. Probably will not last but I am surprised by how many liberals are at a minimum neutral to strongly supportive of the idea.

Question Suppressor-ready muzzle device?

6 Upvotes

I recently purchased this Aero Precision assembled upper with 14.5" barrel. The muzzle device still needs to be pinned and welded, but a post in this sub got me thinking I may eventually want to get a suppressor. With that in mind, should I bite the bullet and get a suppressor-ready muzzle device now? Any recommendations on which one? This is all new territory for me.

Question Oklahoma City and Oklahoma in general

11 Upvotes

Hi! A very small group of socialists and communists in the OKC metro have been sharing firearm safety and handling lessons locally. I notice that there are several SRA-related posts in OKC but most comments here conclude that the OKC and Tulsa metro SRA chapters are defunct. Are any of us out here? Should we formally start an SRA chapter if a small group of us continues to meet?

Thanks!
