Two years after purchasing my first AR, I was finally able to find an outdoor/ larger than pistol caliber friendly range and shoot my rifle. Now that I'm more comfortable with shooting it, I thought I'd kit it out and add all the fun bells and whistles. If anyone has any recommendations or advice to give to make my rifle better and more efficient, I'm all ears.

If y’all see any drills y’all like, let me know and I’ll drop details

I put the stock on right after I submitted payment for GOA membership.

Fun bag:

Eberlestock fade xl bag comes with hook and loop and dedicated pocket for plate.

Was able to pack Tp-9 6 mags

Glock 19 with 3 magazines

Medical equipment

Flashlight

Chemlights red and iR

Duel nvgs with batteries

And a bag of 9mm

Plenty of room for more but this to me is low key non contact move at night order waffles and get home asap.

Will try other weapon configs later.

First time trying this out. Definitely took a couple tries on a couple drills but overall felt pretty good and learned what I need to improve on. Highly recommend.

Drill details:
GBRS standards (all 7 yards)
1 shot A zone from low ready (1 sec)
1 shot A zone from high ready (1 sec)
Pistol bill drill from holster (3 seconds)
Rifle bill drill from any ready (2.5 seconds)
3 to body, 2 to head from any ready (2.5 seconds)
1 reload 1 - rifle (5 seconds)
1 transition 1 - rifle to pistol (3 seconds)
Check drill (12 seconds)

This funky little number just happened to catch my eye at my LGS a few weeks ago. My only other rifle is set up with a full LPVO, so I though I would get a second carbine with and optic and magnifier for closer quarters. I thought this looked cool, but all I heard before about Palmetto State Armory were fairly negative, and associated with their budget builds. So I went home to do some research on the Sabre line, and decided to pick it up last week. Was finally able to get it zeroed at 50 yards this morning and took it out to my rifle bays at my home range. Darn it if doesn't make the steel sing out to 400+ yards! I am not particularly strong at rifle so hitting that far out (and more consistently between 200 - 300 yards) made me just giddy. My only complaint is that the handguard gto hot pretty quickly, so I may need a thicker glove for my support hand. But the next purchase will be an appropriate suppressor for this. Any suggestions on suppressors that pair well with this would be appreciated.

Enjoy your weekend

Had my first range day since neck spine surgery from just over a month ago. This was 15 yards with a Canik TP9SF Elite on iron sights.

What was your 1st piece? How'd you pick it? Do you still have / shoot it?

Just recently started shooting matches. Taking things outside the booth has become addicting.

Good evening, familia! Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their weekend so far! I picked up a few boxes of different 9mm ammo to keep around. What types of ammo do you like to keep in your home defense hardware, whether it's 9mm, 45ACP, 10MM, whatever you like. Tell us why you prefer it over others!

I usually go with Sig V-Crowns in my EDCs, but these caught my eye while I was browsing online. I keep Hornady Critical Duty rifle ammo in my Hellion mags, so I figured I'd get some to throw in my Echelon as well. Based on what I've read, the polymer "flextips" in these bullets allow for penetration through common barriers like doors, walls, windows, etc, while still allowing for controlled expansion when hitting the intended target. I know that's mostly a lot of mumbo jumbo, but I figured "what the hell" and grabbed em anyway. The other 2 boxes are both Federal rounds of 124 and 147 grain loads respectively and are essentially supposed to do the same thing as the Hornady rounds.

As always, cousins! Have a great rest of your weekend! Be safe and stay dangerous!

Do you have dedicated cans?

Gave my AR and Zpap M70 some love. Unfortunately this range only pushes back to about 25 but we made it work. 😤
