Gun Ownership - NO politics, just "Do you or do you not own a firearm"

Its a new 5.7 caliber pistol woth 21 round internal mag. Top load with 10 round clips. Extremely light and low profile due to non replaceable magazine, pretty damn inexpensive due to ease of manufacturing and low anount of parts. Excellent for daily carry. Interesting firearm to say the least.

Never had experience with one of those. But I do know the ruger 5.7 is pretty nice over its competitor FN makes. I’m not personally sold on the 5.7 but it does seem like a good small game round if you can get it in a small bolt gun.

Have you seen and if so, what do you think of the keltec PR57? I Love unique firearms and shooting a lot. The ammo was not too pricey at 249 to 390 plus (depending on brand) for 500 rounds. A normal shooting day for me usually spends 500 rounds for an evening of fun.

I haven't looked at it, so I don't know much about it. The friend I was with at the SHOT show was looking at it, but I never asked him what he thought about it...lol. That friend has a PMR30 and loves it.

I have a Sub2000 that uses Glock mags since I have several Glocks. It's a Gen2, and it's a little flakey. I have a range on my farm and have probably put 5K rounds through it. It's fun. I heard they solved some of the problems with the Gen3 version. I have several pistol-caliber carbines. They are a lot of fun, and ammo is relatively cheap.

Nice! I have a Ruger 5.7 that I love

I haven't bought it yet, but its on my list. Right now im researching ballistics and other firearm availability for 5.7 i love having multiple firearms for each caliber or a firearm that can do multiple calibers like the SW governor.

*Damn typos*

That's the only way to do it. Don't have to bother with idiots at the range. Just walk to your spot and enjoy the day.

As I mentioned above i like having multiple firearms in the same caliber so I have options. Using the same mags is a huge plus.

I bought my 5.7 while looking for a PMR30...

I was working out of town and found out I had time to go shooting and had nothing to shoot...

It's funny how sometimes things happen. I found an old box of 22's and nothing to shoot it..... So I went out a bought a rifle, lol! Sometimes all you need is an excuse.

Exactly!

Although that's also been a curse..

Just in the last year..

Walked into a pawn shop, saw a Ruger super Blackhawk in .44 mag... mine now..

The 5.7 I already mentioned..

Saw a guy at another store looking at the same 5.7 later and told him the story about how I got it looking for the PMR30, clerk overhead and said, "Oh, you mean one of these?", so went home with a PMR30 when all I was there for was ammo..

Went looking for an AR15.. they didn't have one, bullshitting with the clerk I mentioned AR10... you know what happened next.. ended up with a Ruger SFAR .308..

And pretty much the same stories ending in a .44 mag lever action, .30 M1 carbine, Rossi .22 mag pump..

I should stay out of gun stores...

I never go to a gun store or anywhere that sells guns. I use the Internet. Too much of a temptation to simply window shop.

My philosophy is 2 standard rounds and different dispensers, I moded my Ruger PC9 to use the same mags as my CZP10F mags.

I have a Type 56 7.62, want to get a bolt action for it and would love to find a pistol that used the same round lol, even if I gota make one

Save money, reload! I reload my 9mm, going to invest in 7.62*39 reloading as well

I've been collecting my brass for nearly 25 years with plans to get a reloader.

I'm thinking that should be one of my next purchases since I'm swimming in brass at this point..

Not to mention that I've been steadily upgrading the SFAR..

Just put a new LaRue trigger in it (LOVE IT!!!), as well as changing the stock to one with an adjustable cheek rest, suppressor, Vortex Venom scope, and just bought a different adjustable gas block for it, but need a different gas tube to use it..

I'm also doing the deal where I'm getting rifles that use the same cartridge as my pistols..

Looking for a mares leg in .357 mag since I've got 2 .357 mag pistols (my go-to if I think there might be a problem).

That's the SFAR before the stock upgrade

Oh, and it has a better bipod on it now too...

That one was given to me, and now I understand why he gave it away...

 

[K_9River_rat]

It is very handy and economical.

I like the fact the mags are interchangeable

I de-prime, clean and case prep them all and store them like that, then put primers in them and store ready to accept powder and lead, then you can dial the load based on what the gun likes, the Pistol likes 3.8 grains of win 231 with a 124grain plated lead round nose in it.

Very easy on the wrist and good consistency, the PC9 likes a hotter round so more closer to factory at 4+ grains

I'm going to need to figure out what my .308 and .30-06 like.

Those are my long range guns for now.

I've taken the .308 out to 300 yards at the range, and 430 yards or so in the middle of nowhere, but was just shooting at a lighter colored rock face on a canyon wall, so hard to know what my grouping was, but pretty much everything seemed to hit that lighter colored area which looked maybe a foot or so wide..

The cheap as .30-06 has put 2 through the same hole with a cheap as Chinesium Center Point scope from Walmart, but damn that gun has some kick and jump to it..

Thinking on getting it threaded for the suppressor and maybe even casting some weights to put in the voids in the composite stock...

 

[K_9River_rat]

Self adjusting I am guessing?

How'd you know?!? LOL!

I’m British, and I legally own a number of fire arms. Mostly hunting rifles but also various shotgun’s and also pcp air rifles, and pcp pistols.

I was looking at the Dillon I think.

It's been awhile since I've looked but my friend decided to go in with me on it and go for the best they have.

Not cheap, but going in halves makes it easier, and given the amount of brass laying around...

I had an old 357 bolt gun myself for a bit before I sold it. Not a bad caliber for both hand guns or mid range rifles.

I'm a Glock fanboy. There, I admitted it. lol That being said, I like other weapons that use the Glock mags like the Keltec Sub2000. I have also been experimenting with Meta Tacticals PCC conversion kits. I just preordered the MX1 kit but already have the Apex kit. Those kits have gotten me thinking about 3D printing something similar that maybe I designed myself. Just something fun to do...lol

You should look at the mostly new and highly customizable platypus 2011 . Not a Glock but it takes its mags and is quite a good platform for a cheaper line of 2011s. I don’t mind glock but I do prefer steel and the ergos on Glock isn’t my sip of tea.

I've bought stuff from them since they were in Ohio; it was like 2012~14. I haven't looked at their stuff in a while, though. Thanks for mentioning it. My CC is slowly getting maxed out right after buying a boat...lol

 

[soupgang]

Currently own 7 rifles and 2 shotguns, and about 1,500 rounds assorted. Going to be applying for my pistol permit later this year. Unfortunately, NY likes to take there sweet ass time, so it may be 2026 by the time I get it.

 

[Torped]

I do not own firearms and I am happy about it

 

[Kerakov]

Yes, dozens. My latest purchase was a SIG Spear. crazy how much they cost, that was my biggest gripe

Just busted my new "Bodyguard 2.0" out of "waiting period jail" yesterday - Picked it up mainly so as to have something that doesn't take my sweatpants (doctor's orders for another few weeks post-surgery due to where they made the cuts) down around my ankles every third step I take. Ever tried hanging a Glock 17 or a S&W Model 15 on a pair of sweatpants? (Never mind that the idea of wearing a belt with sweats is just too ludicrous to even contemplate...)

You're doing it all wrong! You should go with suspenders and sweats... now THAT'S a look!

You need a belly band holster. Is it cool? No. But it’s the best hold regardless of gut size kind of thing. No paints to hang on.

Shoulder holster. Belly band is also not a bad idea. I got one of those too, but now i can't use it due to reasons I won't get into.

ROTFL!!! Or maybe just go with a Sam Browne rig?

Just got back from the range a bit ago. Seems the reviewers are right - It's a sweet little poodle-shooter, but out-of-the-box, it shoots left (About 2-3 inches left at 7 yards. Unfortunately, I forgot that I intended to pack my brass hammer and drift set, so couldn't "dial it in" today. Ah well, next trip.

I don’t miss having to go to a range. It’s great having the morning coffee and walking out back. Also, keep a spare kit in the truck. It’s saved me several times back in the day.
