Gun Goals For 2018
« on: December 31, 2017, 02:56:49 PM »
On the firearm acquisition side of things I want an MP5 or MP5 Clone semi-auto in 10MM.

On the firearm accessory side I'd like some night vision.

On the performance side I need to lose 40 lbs which would help all skills....HA.  Doubt that but it could happen.

What's your gun goal for 2018?

Elect a new AG so I can keep the ones I have now!

And, a lever gun in .357...

I didn't plan on buying any more guns, but with the new Ruger EC9s listing for $299.00 I may have to finally get into a 9mm. https://www.ruger.com/products/ec9s/models.html

not so much on the hardware side... I shoot 2 USPSA PCC matches a month, and one PCC/pistol 2 gun match....150 rounds of .22lr each Tuesday at a local indoor range with the Accurate Arms conversion for my G34...couple of rounds of skeet or 5 stand each Friday.... don't shoot much if any 3 gun any more, so have the competition guns pretty much sorted out

I've recently converted to IWB carry for the G43, and think I've finally found the right combination for me...thick, stiff velcro competition under belt, kydex IWB holster, and suspenders to help hold it up... a cotton Columbia fishing shirt for a cover up...

my 4x32 scope has really good light gathering ability, so I doubt an AN/PVS-14 is in my future

would love to loose 40# if my knee is willing... bought a tadpole trike and just about got hit as it sits so low to the ground, so back on the traditional bicycle

I have enough parts lying around to build another AR upper

Same here. I've never owned a 9mm, but am seriously considering a purchase (been a while since I've bought a handgun) for myself and the wife. Our d-i-l has a Ruger and I like the feel of the grip. Our son has a Springfield XD in 9mm and I like it as well. Ammo in general is cheaper now, but 9mm leads the way so it would mean more practice ammo per dollar.

Glock is sending me 2 guns in Jan. Another G19 and a G34 both gen3s. Should be a good month!
Had some work done to the Gold Cup...getting some work re-done since the gunsmith must have had a seizure while I was talking to him. "Bullseye" and "4.5# trigger" are NOT used by me in the same sentence! Since I asked for 3-3.5# I want to know why he put in the parts he did.

I would like to send my NightForce scope in for a reticle change - having the reticle talking MILs and the knobs speaking MOA is a PITA. I didn't know what I needed when I bought it --> Dumb. 

Long guns I would like to make my 11-87 a Trap model. Different rib and stock are needed. Rib shouldn't be too pricey but the stock will eat up some coin.
Still much cheaper though than buying a new/different semiauto. My Browning fits perfect but I'm getting tired of the recoil of an O/U. Just can't practice as much with it as I want to.

Rifles are covered for now. Very happy with bolt and semis for the time being.

I bought my first 9mm a while back.  Got an SCCY CX 2.  It's become my daily carry.  I still prefer my .357 wheel gun, but the 9mm fits better.

I think that's the key.  "Fits Better"

On the hardware side a PCC in 9mm and  Outfit my M&P core with a red dot.

Want to shoot in more matches.  Maybe go to ICORE in NV.

Get in better shape of course.

Need a replacement for the XDs - slide release its tearing my strong hand thumb up under recoil.
Contenders are
KAHR CM9 (I have a CW45 I carry a lot - no levers where the thumb is)
Kimber Micro 9 or SIG P938 - I can ride my thumb over the safety
Springfield is releasing a 911 which is on par with the P939/Micro 9 but in .380, so I'll wait for the 9mm to be released.

I'm happy with my long guns.

I want to computer less, and start reading one book a month -
I want to learn a new knot each month
I want to do more with non-powered hand tools - just to see if I can do it like they use to in grandpa's day.


Happy 2018 all.
