I'm going to try to get the 45acp Hi-point carbine back around the 1st. I really liked that rifle.

Reliable?

No, it's a Hi-point.

Well in 24 hours I get paid and I saw two guns that peeked my interest. A 45ACP and a Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 magnum and I can get one or both... I got a lot of thinking to do.

WELL today I got my "new" gun! My gun store didn't have the 44 mag I wanted and since I still have a revolver conceal carry I decided to trade my tan Judge for a bigger model. Its still a Judge but it's bigger and heavier then it's smaller cousin.

What does “grinding down the hammer” do? Is it just aesthetics or does it affect performance?

Any double action revolver is also a single action by cocking the hammer manually, getting a shorter trigger pull which allows for more precise shots. Grinding it down makes it a double action only which with regards to conceal carry, eliminates the risk of the gun getting stuck in the pocket when you draw it.

Not really, I like shooting a double action revolver as a single action. I get a smoother trigger pull and better accuracy.

Oh ok, gotcha. Hmmm, might actually be a good idea if you were using the shot shells in that Judge, or with a .38 which you’ll be using at a range where accuracy doesn’t really come into play.

I'll say one thing about my new Judge I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it either by bullet or shotgun rounds, speaking of which I need to find me some 45 Colt Hollow Points. In other news I love my new desk, computer and chair.

hickok has a video on the Colt LE 901 that I enjoyed, as I am still thinking about a AR10/.308 rifle. I don't really see myself swapping out uppers, but you never know. At 2k, it has a really good price for an AR10. The HK 417 is double that.

I really liked how the bolt release is on both sides and in easy reach of your trigger finger. The bolt release on my Sig M4 is only on the left, and too far forward to reach with my grip hand. So I have to reach back with my left to use it, which is awkward.

The difference between shooting the cinderblocks with 7.62 vs 5.56 was impressive. The 7.62 cut the block in half on the second shot. The 5.56 needed 5 shots to do the same.

My PC has been dubbed a Mac wanna be (cause it looks like an iMac) but mines better as it has a touch screen, my desk is basic but effective and my chair is a gaming chair and is pretty nice to sit in...so much I have to fight my Boston Terrier for sitting rights laugh.gif .

The Daniel Defense DD5V1 is the latest contender in my AR10 search. At 3k it is a bit pricey. But you get a lot with that. At 8 lbs it is the lightest AR10 I have seen. The ambi-controls include a bolt catch on the right side as well as left, which I really liked the look of in hickock45's Colt video. It has a 2 stage trigger, which I have never used, but only hear really good things about. It is also direct impingement, which will be nothing new to me as my Sig M4 is the same. The Daniel also comes with a hard case made for it to fit into, which is also nice.

Right now the nearest contender is the Sig 716. It clocks in about $700 cheaper. But it is also a lot heavier, and uses a gas piston instead of direct impingement. I don't have a real opinion of GP vs DI. Both seem to have their advantages and disadvantages. But I am already familiar with dissembling and cleaning a DI rifle, and not a GP. So that tends to lean me toward the Daniel Defense.

The Sig has a 4 position, adjustable gas valve that seems nice at first. But I have read a lot of accounts of people having issues with having it set to the wrong position and having jams because the pressure was off. What is right or wrong seems more dependent upon the brand of ammo you are using, rather than whether you are using a suppressor, etc... So that looks like a two-edged sword to me.

I think the Sig only has a 1 stage trigger. Not necessarily a drawback for me. My M4 has one, and I have always found it to be smooth.

So the Daniel is looking good. It comes with an M-Lok or Keymod handguard. So I will have to choose. I don't really have an opinion on them. The M-Lok is a Magpul product, and they are an industry leader, so that might be the most prudent choice. But I think I like how the Keymod looks better. I don't really plan on hanging grenade launchers or flashlights from my barrel, so it is not a deal-breaker either way.

Optics are another thing to think about. I love the Eotech on my M4. It makes doing this ridiculously easy. But there are some other interesting optics out there. The Trijicon 42mm Reflex looks good. I have also been seeing a lot of scopes that dial down to 1x and act like a red dot in that mode, but can also go out to x4 or x6. I think Hecate would love one of those.

I had it before and I forgot what I sold it for but their buy back is really bad so I won't be getting rid of it anytime soon. I am looking at a couple of 44 Mags or a rifle AR or AK...we'll see smile.gif .
