r/CAguns

Possible first 2011!!

Ready to get my yee-haw on

Just Got my echelon 4.5 9MM. Super excited try it out on the range. Any recommendations for good holsters? Planning to use this for armed security

This is my first AR that I picked up from my local gun shop, and I’m still trying to fully understand California compliance laws. I’m not very knowledgeable yet, so I want to make sure I’m not doing anything wrong.
From what I understand, it has a detachable magazine and what looks like a pistol grip, but I’m not completely sure. I’m confused about the whole “featureless vs fixed magazine” thing and what that means for my setup.
Can someone help me confirm whether this is California compliant? I just want to make sure everything is legal and I don’t get myself into trouble.

I'd asked this before, but figured it'll be nice to hear from our community again about useful advice.

Pic for attention. The challenge was to shoot a face within the outline. I opted for the frowny face.

I KNOW there are a lot of options about sig but this is by far one of my most favorite guns to shoot. Easy recoil control and it feels great, hefty. I’m a bigger guy so I do conceal carry this bad boy.

Is this why people say try get the Gen 2 Maglock? The rear of the dust cover hinge pushes it down so the tab of the Maglock is below the upper.

I bought a couple boxes of these XTP rounds and in one of the boxes 2 rounds came out looking shorter than a normal one. It’s 9mm rounds. I’m wondering if I should be concerned or if I should just not shoot the rounds. Thanks!

I’m having back-to-back Appleseed events the next two weekends, and I’ve set up two rifles.

I put a new Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 5-25x50 scope on the 10/22. This is the rifle I got my Rifleman’s patch with in November, and I had borrowed the same model of scope for the second day of the clinic. Most people don’t need that much scope, but with my eyesight I do. It looks crazy huge, doesn’t it? Even with the Magpul high cheek riser kit, I had to build it up with some foam to get decent eye alignment. I’m looking forward to getting everything dialed in at the 25m clinic so I’ll be ready for the 200-yard Rimfire class the following weekend. I’m very excited for that RKD event!

The Fighlite SCR is a new rifle that I’ve only fired on one trip to the range so far to function test it, and now I’m setting it up. I put the old Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32 scope that I took off the 10/22 on the SCR. I added a Mathew’s Fabrication cheek riser and Cole-Tac handguard wrap on it, along with a few upgraded parts. You don’t see many “ranch rifle” format center fire rifles at Appleseed, so it will be interesting to try it out. I’m going to take it to the second day of the 25m clinic and see how it does for Appleseed-style sling-assisted shooting. The manual of arms is new to me, so this should be interesting. If it works well, I hope to swap the big scope onto it and use the SCR at a 400-yard full KD next year.

I’m looking forward to these two weekends and trying the new rifle setups!
