NWI INGO General Post - Part 8

[KLB]

$45.00 is a great price for the set of muffs.

Yeah, it is. I picked up a couple to have for guests.

Get an AR in 9mm. 147gr subsonic is key. I would like a 300BLK pistol if I could get a can. The signoff would be my obstacle. Actaeon, who is signing for you?

I though about going the Blackout route, but the ammo is too expensive to really just plink with.

I have a whole slew of 147gr 9mm. It is what I use in my handguns now.

That is my gripe with the 300 AAC Blackout too.

It might be a great for SWAT teams looking for a gun they can silence and use during drug raids, but it has no real purpose for non-police/non-close quarters combat roles. Not a good hunting round. It has ballistics similar to the 7.62x39 which makes it marginal for most game. Sure it can be used for hogs down south. Deer out of a pistol in Indiana. But there are dozens of great rounds that are more practical than the 300 AAC Blackout that also fit in a small chamber. Honestly it has very limited uses off the range punching paper targets or ringing gongs.

It is good subsonic. 220gr. going 1100 fps has better BC then 147gr at the same, and faster then .45 230gr. .458 socom has no $ advantage, but can be used to take game.

Subsonic is the name of the game when you are talking cans.

Reload!

As GB pointed out, the can is interchangeable between 9mm and subsonic 300blk. Unless you get a .30 can, then you can shoot supersonic as well.

Anyone have any leads for a sight puller? I have several 3rd gen smiths and would like one or prices for one so I can replace sights when needed.

 

[CTC B4Z]

Whats up at BP?

 

[CTC B4Z]

Why the evacuation?

Even better, how will all the local bars accommodate the 10,000 contractors that are now walking around whiting

I feel like a kid on Christmas morning , my new pistol has arrived. Thanks again to South County Guns for dealing with me.

If anyone is looking for electronic hearing protection
Peltor Tactical 6S Electronic Earmuffs (NRR 20dB) Gray 97044

Any reviews on them?

 

[jedi]

Any update on bp?

While he doesn't review the Tactical 6S, he does speak highly of Peltor. I would say the 6S would be similar to the Radians Pro Amp, but that's purely speculation, and no real world experience. For $45 its tempting.

Got sited again... Now they are unhappy with the size of the house numbers for my address.... Anybody got some old 4 by 8 sheets of plywood they want to get rid of ? I think that size of house numbers should be about perfect...

I think T-Star has a pair and maybe DK too.

As stated though, there is no gain for just plinking. 9mm is going to be cheaper no matter how you do it and it will kill paper or steel targets just as well. I have talked myself out of getting one at this point. It will be the 9mm instead.

Can you complain to someone about her job performance or lack of it?

EXACTLY there is ZERO reason to choose the 300 AAC Blackout when considering a silenced weapon platform given other alternatives.

PLUS there is ZERO reason to choose the 300 AAC Blackout when considering a non-silenced weapon platform given other alternatives which also allow for longer range, flatter shooting or even legal big game hunting.

Well what ever happened at bp it did not affect travel to south Chicago. However Indy in ec, whiting is a mess. They have huge holes in the street not pot holes but just huge holes.

Jedi that is just the way we decorate in Da Region...
