98Z5V Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Daily carry for me now is 44 rounds of .45ACP. 13rds in the pistol mag, one in the pipe, and two spare 15rd mags. To some, that's excessive - but it's enough to get me to a rifle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I know a cop who carries a FN 5.7x28. He has 21 in the gun and 30 rounds in each of his spare mags. I know he owns at least 3 spares last I checked with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were carrying 6 spare 15rd mags, taht would probably seem excessive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrtmasp Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I never felt the three mags I carry are enough while working. This story makes me want to place a quick order for an extra 2. Great read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 On duty, I carry a Sig P220 Carry Elite Stainless. I have 8+1 in the gun and four 10's on my person. I'm trying to figure a way to get more on me, or near me. Hopefully the plan to get an AR pistol in my saddlebag works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Im tempted to get an FNX 45. 15+1 in the pistol, and 18 in the spares (with DP +3 base plates) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyEJL Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I want to be clear that my saying 6 magazines is excessive has nothing to do with how many bullets each holds, just actually managing 6 mags on you without wearing a molle style plate carrier or something along those lines is a bit much.

I really like the locked and cocked feature as well as the solid double action trigger feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrtmasp Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) My no safety M&P45 carries 10+1. It's a great gun (no glock though) and is a big big improvement over my old Sig P229 DAK. The Smith is actually lighter and it was nice going from a 40 to a 45 and also have less recoil and a lighter improved trigger pull. Right now, off duty, I carry a M&P9 mm compact with tritium sights and light trigger. I'm also very happy with this gun but can see switching to a glock compact down the road. Unless Kimber changes my mind but it will be a bit heavier which might kill it for me...not buying, just carrying.

98Z5V Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 1) How do you know what's in his banana hammock? 2) And how do you know what Rob has done?3) I'm just saying! Does 308AR stand for Arse Ramming =) I'l take your newbie schit one step at a time. You've build some bad rifles, but you're fcuking new. So :stfu2: Your other choice is: run your mouth, and I'll fcuking chase you down all over this board and slam you, as long as you feel like takin' that ass beatin'. Figure it out. Come back when you think you got it. I haven't lost one of these yet. just so you know. 1) He knows, from a personal Meet-N-Greet. Those happen from time to time here, on this board, but usually only in the SouthWest. Travel, or get left behind. As you have, here. I'll show you what's in the Banana Hammock, if you'll lick it, smack it, and rub it down. Bet? 2) I've fcukin WITNESSED what he's done. If you want more, then show the fcuk UP next time a Greet is called. Until then, you can STFU. Tequila is my witness. Patron, to be exact. 3) NO. It doesnt stand for "ASS RAMMING." I don't know if that was your hope or not, but you missed your calling, here. Matbe you'll have luck elsewhere. Good luck, by the way. That's above your security clearance.... ^-^ WAY above. Don't ask questions you don't want to hear the answers of. Shchit, I might just spill the answers, anyway... <lmao> Goofball, you're cool, and you build some badass rifles. If you want to just jump ahead of the rest of the class, and just start slamming people,... I'm you're Huckleberry. Start right here.

Goofball310 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Take a step back 98, and take a breather. Everyone on this board takes a jab at each other in good humor and no one takes offense and no offense was meant which is why I ended the whole thing with a smilely face. Any thread on here that leaves room for sexual humor always ends up that way, and I saw my opportunity and took it. I've always held this forum up to high standards and have boasted about the comradery that existed here that is virtually non-existent on any other forum. Buy hey, maybe you're just the first to show me that that was just a mirage. If that is the case, no thank you and goodbye. Wanted to say thanks to everyone for their advice, time, compliments, and especially those that offered up parts during the hard times a few months ago. Rob - wanted to say thank you for you advice on the barrel and I was waiting to announce it, but I did go ahead and place that order. I guess in the end a handle like "Goofball" isn't enough to show that I'm a jokester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
