Your gun is poop

So after picking up a metal frame for my m&p 2.0 full-size I had a spare polymer full size frame. I traded around and got a used Floyd’s milled compact slide, barrel and recoil spring so now I have assembled a compact slide full size frame (think G45) 17rd/4” out of the spare frame.

Might as well make another complete gun lol. I am waiting for the decision on this oregon gun measure then I'll buy a few hand guns. I am going out of state on Sunday and they do just normal NCIS background check. I have a rifle I am looking for and will probably buy it.

Question for all of you with hearing protection devices on your firearms. I am looking for a descent one for my 9mm carbine. Doesn’t have to be a Cadillac model. Awaiting your input. Thank you

There are a lot of good options out there. It depends on your use what the best one would be. Is it only 9mm carbine or do you want to use it on other things?

For 9mm I picked up a wolfman which is really good at suppression and is multi caliber. It’s modular and 9mm up to 5.56 capable. I can run it on just about anything. This comes with downsides as it is larger diameter than other 9mm cans and therefore heavier. If you didn’t want to use it on other things I would recommend a lighter and smaller can dedicated to 9mm

Only want it for my 9mm carbine. Only use it for coyotes from the helicopter. And yes lighter and smaller would be perfect.

Obsidian 45 or 9. Very durable been around a long time. Price is pretty reasonable.

^ great suggestion

Mojave 9 is even lighter if you want to get into more expensive 3d printed cans to get the lightest possible can

Example Obsidian is 12oz in long config and Mojave is 9oz in long config

I have a REX Silentium .358cal can on my home-built AR-9 and it functions perfect. Reduces noise by alot and works well on my 10" barrel AR with any kind of ammo I run through it.

Only downside is the size, it's short but fat. I paid about $450 for mine at LGS.

That is an awesome value
 
Finally picked up my first boomstick. Home/RV defense purposes.

Mossberg 590 18.5" barrel. Swapped the forend for a Magpul M-Lok so I can stick a light on there. Picked up a small one, but it sat too close to the barrel and ended up with far more barrel shadow than useable light. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has one that isn't unreasonably expensive.

The good ones are expensive as heck. The more forward you can get the light the more useful light you get. I like my light out in front of the muzzle or as far out as I can get it. I like Surefire scout lights.

Check GG&G they have a lot of shotgun stuff and probably have a mount that will get your light in the right spot.

Best Example I have of scout light out in front of the muzzle. Even with a can only a small shadow and it’s a downward shadow

The semi auto shotguns seem really useful...but there is no more satisfying sound than a pump action, lol. I got a Mossberg 590a1 and can only shoot slugs at my local range. Man this thing kicks like a mule. Once I found a proper stock with a shorter LOP I can manage it now. It's so fun to shoot.

@rockcrawlingdude hhhmmm, good to know. I never would have put anything past the muzzle on a shotgun... Been thinking of getting a light at some point...

Agreed on the pump action. The sound is half of the deterrent. It’s really the universal sound for “go away”.

What stock did you put on?



I found a light I’m happy with for mine. Streamlight Protac HL-X. At 1000 lumens it’s blindingly bright. It has the same mounting pattern as the Surefire Scout, or can attach to a pic rail. I attached a Magpul offset mount to get it up a bit higher and over the barrel, but used the pic rail mount on the light so that it’s easy to remove quickly. I couldn’t get it quite out as far as the front of the barrel, but I got it up a bit so the shadow is down to the side.

Now I just need to find a way to secure this thing in the truck in case I need to leave it behind somewhere.
 
I often leave my mossberg in the truck. I just put a tie-down anchor under one of the rear seat bolts. Run a 1/4" cable through the action with a padlock. Not fancy but keeps someone from easily grabbing it. Key for lock is always with truck fob.
