Talking about ugly oddball guns I had a fleeting notion of buying a Judge but it passed when I read some of the reviews. Other than novelty skeet shooting, I am not sure what I would do with it. As a self defense gun, it was roundly discounted. The .410 is inferior to just about anything 9mm or above. If I were going to carry again, I'd be interested in a Ruger LCR revolver in .357 MAG with a five round cylinder. .357 is a very capable self defense piece if you can hit anything with it. (stressed, bad light etc) Was at the range yesterday shooting the new S&W AR. Also took out the 1911 45. New AR great shooter. Almost dead on out of the box. Forgot how abusive to the hand the 45 can be. One pinched finger and nicked thumb. But was fun. Which M&P did you get? I have no idea of what is "allowed" in California these days in "black rifles." I like just about everything about my M&P 15-22 *except* the four-sided rail system...not that comfortable to hold in the beer mug grip. I haven't done anything serious to customize my "real" Colt AR-15. I have an optic for it but I still am enjoying shooting out to 100 yards with the stock sights. m&p 15 Sport. 5.56/223. Has a round fore grip. Like the old M16. Rail above the receiver. Will probably get rings for a scope. Take the Scope off my 7400. Out of the box, flip up iron sights, nice sights by the way. Shot about 2 inch right at 50 yards. One click and was very close. At a 100 yard, was still good. A few in the x ring, and most in the black. My failure not the rifle. That's a fine rifle. My Colt looks very much like it, except mine has a dust cover...which I supposed will be helpful if I'm caught in the desert somewhere and facing a horde of zombies. Do you have magazine limitations in California? Dust cover is pretty worthless I think. Once you fire, the cover is open anyway. The Sport does not have a dust cover or forward assist. Maybe combat and FA would be good. Original M16 used the bolt lever as an assist. We need a bullet button. Requires a "tool" to remove magazine. Can only buy 10 rd or less mags. I do not think it is illegal to possess a mag with larger capacity, just can not buy in state. We have some bizarre laws in Maryland relating to AR rifles. You can buy a complete AR, lower and upper, so long as it has a "heavy" barrel. That's what I have, an HBR Colt with a heavy barrel. You can buy 10-round mags in state, but if you want larger cap mags, you have to buy them out of state. Possession of larger cap mags is legal. We don't have bullet buttons here yet. You can buy a complete .308 AR type rifle without an HBAR. Only the 5.56/.223 ARs have to have the HBAR. You can buy a lower and then buy a non-HBAR upper, since the state has no way to prove when you bought that upper, as they are not serialized. And so on. You can buy a suppressor if your local sheriff signs off on it, but if he won't, you can download the forms off the internet and set up a trust and have the suppressor "owned" by the trust. I don't know how anyone keeps up with this stuff. |
