r/guns

I live in Arizona and I’m a relatively new gun owner. What are your thoughts on carrying concealed vs open carry?

and it really wasnt as bad as the internet (especially reddit/youtube) made it seem. Bunch of booths had pretty fair prices, even haggled to buy a supressor at the online match out the door in cash. Bought 1000 rounds of subsonic CCI 22lr for ammoseek prices out the door as well. Buddy bought a 10/22 for a very reasonable price and everyone seemed to be willing to make a deal as long as you were paying cash. What I will say, all the old timers with a bunch of those glass case booths were out of their fucking mind selling dogshit condition pistols, shotguns, and WW2 (you know the one) memorabilia. The actual brick and mortar stores with booths were solid though, and there was only like 5% of non 2A related booths as well, no time share bullshit, just the typical beef jerky and "look at this gun app" guys.

First off I LIVE IN A RESTRICTED STATE. So everyone jumping in telling me to build an AR-15 that’s superior for half the price I’m very happy you can do that but unfortunately I can’t (w/o a fixed mag) eww

I like the mini for its less expensive ammo so I can practice more. I like the SOCOM because I’m limited to 10+1 so having the 308 would be nice to help compensate for capacity limits. Almost feel like I should start with a 223 rifle practice a ton then later get a 308 but that very expensive! I’m new to carbines but have been conceal carrying a g43x for two years and been shooting my 590a1 for almost a year now so intermediate experience level. Thanks!

Hey all, hoping for guidance here. Have someone with issues on their 1100 12 Gauge Magnum. It fails to eject and the bolt stays locked to the rear.

The gas piston and Oring were in rough shape, piston set was very corroded. Replaced that with the updated set. (See pic)

Still having issues. The ammo in the photo worked before the failure.

I’ve torn it down about 10 times now, cleaned everything. I’m not sure if they’ve torn it down and attempted anything. The barrel has one gas port which appears to be clear.

I do have a part in question, known as the feed latch in image. Seems a bit tweaked to me. Not sure if this would cause my symptoms. Not familiar with 1100s other than reading a ton of mixed issues and diagnosis on various forums. Hoping I can get better feedback with the steps I’ve taken so far.

Any thoughts?

Edit *** seems like I cannot add photos here.

The ammo is Winchester xpert 12g 3in 1550 fps 1 1/8 oz 4 shot.

Wish I could share the pic of the feed latch..

finally was able to find a 16” gen1 for a decent price and it already had the plastic delete and kns piston system in it.

For those of you that have one, are there any red dots you’d recommend? I was thinking of just getting the EO TECH EXPS3.

Any recommendations for cans as well?

Will the Walker's Razor Gel Ear Pads fit the ALPHA 360?
