Rate my home defense setup

might trade the 1-6x for a 1-10x LPVO but besides that I think it’s done for now.

Currently stuck on what to do.

I’m fairly newish to firearms, wanted to actually get into the hobby a bit. My only experiences are slapping uppers and lowers together, some range time, call of duty, YouTube, and chat gpt. I wanted to create an assortment (not a huge collection, but almost like a “one for every situation” type of deal) but sadly can only really do a budget set.

I have a sw3 dagger, a 5.56 PSA “16 upper on a PSA AR lower (with a Ocl polonium k can otw), and an AR-12. I also have a pistol brace lower.

Where I’m stuck at is whether I should get an 11.5 5.56 upper, or a “(tba) 300blk upper. Ik that .300 builds are a lil more finicky than 5.56 due to subs and supers(or at least that’s what I’ve gathered).

My third option is to just buy a complete PSA pistol.

Basically my question is, what would yall do? Build a PSA 5.56 arp? Or throw together a .300 blk arp? Buy a complete budget PSA arp?

I know some people would suggest just spending more money but sadly this is what I have to work with.

That being said, I do want a mixtape, so that also plays into the reason why I haven’t just gone and purchased a .300 upper.

Thanks for any advice 🙏

Keep or sell Glock 17 Gen 2

hello, I have a Glock 17 Gen 2 from 1994 I think. I haven’t used it in years and just sits in the safe and takes up space. There is nothing I have against that gun, it is just very outdated. Right now I use a Glock 47 and it works great for me. I did talk to a few dealers about selling it. They recommended not selling it and to keep it as a collectible. I looked online at prices. They don’t seem to be selling for that much. I would like to use the money and space to buy something new I could use in carry optics.

Will there ever be any more .44 Rhinos?

If I'm gonna utilize the unique bore axis for recoil mitigation, I want it to be on a big beefy round, but these seem to be unobtanium even on the secondhand market aside from the ugly blue one (I want one in chrome only)

Help me ID this gun

Anyone know what this rifle is? It’s been sitting in my dad’s safe for years, and I never got the chance to ask him about it before he passed away. Just trying to figure out what it is and maybe learn a little more about it. Any info would be appreciated!

What should a 21 year old expect trying to purchase a handgun? What all should I bring?

I do not have any federal or state firearm legal disability, warrants, or anything of that type. Is it truly as simple as walking in, picking one out, signing some stuff, and leaving? Is there more to it? I turn 21 in 2 days and am considering making a purchase.

Long distance handgun shooting Yes or no?

What is everyone’s opinion on long distance shooting with handguns ? I’ve gotten multiple answers saying one should practice 5-10yds for self defense which makes sense but say long distance is useless? How is it useless?
whats wrong with practicing beyond 15-25yds ?

Ok. What happened to my steel target?

Over the weekend I was shooting my new steel target and found this big, deep crater. Very inconsistent with the rest of the hits, which were pretty much the expected shallow dimples on the face or chipping along edges.
Here are the relevant details:
-target is a Highwild 3/8” AR500
-shooting was done with 55 grain M193 FMJ out of a 20” and 14.5”
-distance was 100 yards

What is this?

My son found this buried deep in our yard. Any idea what its from. It has “Parris” written on it which I believe is an old toy company. It also has the date 1866 and made in the USA.

True Fact: The “P” in PEQ-2 stands for “portal”.

Now that’s thinking with portals.

There’s just enough room under the PEQ-2 mounted on the u/UnionEngineeringWks mount to pass the tape switch cables to the other side.
