Guns, Gear, Accessories, Etc: What did you buy today?

[Boboclown]

folding brace came in. Its shorter than a warsaw length stock, but longer than the previous brace that was on it.

 

[deadeye]

Picked up another pocket item (like I really need another) along with some extra mags and a box of 6mm 95gr ballistic tips to load up for my brother.

 

[Caveman Jim]

Two 16 round XDM40 magazines.

My frugal, bargain-hunter side got beat.

For months I've been casually shopping for a suitable holster to update my war belt. Bug-out guns are a pr of Springfield Armory XDMs (big 4.5" primary, Fat Man. 3.8" secondary, Little Boy) and the only suitable rig I could find was from G-Code. Little Boy rides left-chest on my vest in a MOLLE-modified Blackhawk Serpa but an appropriate belt holster for Fat Man has eluded me. Living up to it's name, the big M is too fat to work with a Bianchi M84... that's going to be for sale soon.

Tired of looking, I dropped the coin on a G-Code OSH and drop mount. I didn't spring for the RTI mount as this is a pretty dedicated TEOTWAWKI rig... the modularity and mobility of the RTI would be money wasted.

Also bought a new Sidewinder outer belt.

"The Card" is smoldering a little, but not burnt-down.

Nice!
I'm so invested in in my Ms with mags, a 9mm conversion barrel (for the big 40), and gear (see above) that even though I have "better" guns (by popular opinion only) there's no way I'm changing platforms now.

Modularity, interchangeability, and versatility win the day when SHTF.

LOVE my XDMs.

 

[Doomtown]

LOVE my XDMs.

I was starting to think Springfields got no love around here. When I bought my XDM I wondered why I was shooting anything else tbh.

We made the move to the XDM40's about 5 years. ago by renting more than 10 hand guns (on free rental night). Out of all the different models from glocks to Sigs, even a HK, we chose the XDM40 because it fit both our grips and shot better.

After the 9mm panic buying is over I'll see about a 9mm barrel.

Didn't buy anything today but I have moved and today my two safes were moved in.

I bought my first M about 10 yrs ago... I was an early adopter of .40 S&W (silly of me not to check with the internet first) and it was my first handgun purchase after my (now) ex wife had sold-off my small arsenal... a completely different sad, sad story.

It was a couple of "firsts" for me... first plasticky plastic gun. First striker-fired gun, both of which I'd always associated with cheap junk. Took a leap and bought it.

The 9mm conversion barrel came later and was part of a plan that was forming in my head... a SHTF plan.

I bought another M, a 3.8 9mm. Now I had a primary sidearm capable of firing two calibers and a secondary pistol which can accept parts, mags, and ammo from the primary. I've been buying-up 40 and 9mm mags when I see em for sale... full-sized 40 and both sizes of 9mm.

The 9mm conversion takes a conversion barrel and 9mm magazines. Mine wouldn't lock-back on an empty mag (common) with the 18# 40cal recoil spring so I bought a spare guide rod and a 16# spring which are quickly replaced as a unit without tools should the need arise.

Now my XDMs are more of a "system" or "program". Replacing them or switching platforms would be stupid... no internet love means 0.sh*t to me, what works works.

The trigger could use some help (still) and I think I'd like some new sights... XS Big Dots have caught my eye. Maybe Dawson FO or TruGlo TFX... haven't decided yet.

A gun that you like is the right gun.

There is no bestest...if it functions well and you can hit what you aim at...good enough.

I made the mistake of visiting my LGS today. Saw two interesting used Sig P220's. One cost $50 more than the other. It was an ST, which is the all steel frame. That one had the E2 grips. I purchased the other since it was in better overall shape and has the basic factory grip.

I have lots of components and like to load .45 ACP .

 

[Gbirk]

Right time right place and picked up a PSA GF3. Seemed like a decent price and the G3 rifles are getting good reviews. The plumb furnitue grabed my attention too.

 

[nosbocaj]

To celebrate my promotion (Navy O-4), my parents and wife chipped in on this (Sig Sauer P226 Mk25). I still can't believe it!

 

[CountryGent]

Acquired and filed the paperwork on Griffin Bushwhacker 46 silencer.



Primary plan is to run it on the .44 bolt-action, with an eye to perhaps to the lever-gun in said too. And ... so trying to resist the urge to get into something .45/70 again. I'll be good, for now.

The Form 4 has been submitted and tax paid, so ...

 

[CountryGent]

Bought another 250 rounds of .44 Magnum.

Took a while to get here, but lots of "pew pellets" for shooting fun.

Jeez! 3 weeks nearly? Hmm.

Jeez! 3 weeks nearly? Hmm.

It came in middle/late last week, but I've been so buried I wasn't on NWFA for some days. Still, yah, it was a longer wait than normal. Not surprising considering the number of orders.

 

[oneharmonic]

Got a rifle I've had my eye on for a while from a forum member; Colt M4 lower and DD Block II upper.

 

[Rudedog]

Magpul SGA black stock for my Remington 870 Wilson Combat. $90 at Ticklicker in Salem.
