Starting again…

Filed under: Everything Else — Mahg at 2:52 pm on Thursday, March 6, 2008

Guys, it’s been awhile. Things have been crazy. Long story short, i’m a Marine now. (Infantry.)

I’m thinking about starting the site back up, and was wondering what my readership was (I know someone is still reading the site!), and what exactly you guys want out of the site. (What type of articles, news, etc…)

So, please, by all means, comment on the site and show your support if you want me to continue this thing.

For Sale: My XD-40

Filed under: Weaponry, The Site — Mahg at 10:50 pm on Sunday, August 13, 2006

Sorry for the lack of updates guys, i’m working on a couple projects, and working in general A LOT. I should be starting up school in a few weeks, and cutting back my hours, which means more time for updates and such.

Also, i’ve started building an AR-15. So far, i have a complete RRA lower, and an LMT upper, BCG, and PRI Gas Buster charging handle are on their way. Once they get in, i’ll put some pictures up for you all, and keep you up to date on the build’s progress.

However, AR-15s are expensive, doubly so for higher end ones. In response to this, i’m selling my XD-40. I know a lot of you guys got stiffed on the 24/7s, so here’s your chance for an awesome pistol, especially you Floridians. Right now, i’m offering my excellent condition XD-40, (~500 rounds have been through it, but the finish is almost like new and in box, aside from faint wear marks on the curves in front of the barrel from slide operation, and on the chamber hood. This is normal wear, and is minor. Otherwise, the firearm was safe queened, and cleaned within an hour of every range visit.) a spare magaine (For a total of 3 hicaps.), two boxes of Gold Dots, a 50 round box of Winchester Ranger (The ammo is around 6 months old, and there’s a couple rounds missing from each box, but it’s still the best quality ammo you can buy.), and 5 A-Zoom snap caps, all for $420 plus shipping.

Review: Springfield XD-45ACP

XD-45ACP

Just recently I’d been given a chance to pick up the NRA’s handgun of the year (A moniker that doesn’t always mean that much, as the 24/7 fiasco proved.) at an unbeatable price. So, I did what any red-blooded firearm collector would do, and I picked it up! I am now the proud owner of a second Springfield XD: The XD-45 Service model.

  • I just read in American Rifleman that apparently Taurus is bringing the 24/7 in .45 ACP to JOC’s table to compete for a contract to supply our fighting forces with a standardized sidearm. I’m hoping this is just a rumor, with nothing really substantial to back it up. But, we’ll see. (0) #

Re-examining your CCW

Filed under: Warriology, Articles — Mahg at 9:58 am on Wednesday, July 19, 2006

I stopped by my friend’s pawn shop the other day to shoot the shit and see what he had in, as I try and do at least once a week, and immediately noticed my friend wearing a Glock on his side, OWB. Now, normally, this isn’t an odd sight in a gun shop. Many of the employees in shops around my area open carry. But, my friend had always carried concealed. More specifically, he carried a revolver Mexican style. A Glock 19 is one hell of a change.

  • Guys, if you recently made a comment, and it got deleted, i’m sorry. Recently, the blog has been nailed by some pretty heavy comment spamming, and i installed a few WordPress plugins to take care of it. Sorry if your posts got flagged as spam :/ (0) #

Woah, i didn’t even notice my bandwidth usage went over! Sorry about that guys!

I have to say though, this really excites me! I mean, that this site has become popular enough to exceed bandwidth. I couldn’t have done it without you guys! Thank for the readership, guys! It really means a lot to me. In fact, to show my gratification, here’s some gun porn of a recent investment gun, my collectors edition Ruget Blackhawk:
