kawi kid Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I have an interesting set up already for my truck but I do like that locking ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Well, they have reopened Longhorner (sp?) gun range in Springfield off I-70 and 72 so a friend and I went to check it out. Place is still pretty empty for guns, but the range was well kept and almost empty so we shot about 100 rounds. Me with the LC9 and her with her shield. Then we went to Vandalia Armory and I dropped $299 on a new 995TS 9mm carbine from Hi Point. Came home and put 50 round thru it with one jam. Made a real fast video out of the last 8 shots and added some humor at the end. I never can remember if that's the carbine that uses glock mags or its another one.

4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Just catching up from the belt posts. Those belts have to be pricey. It's all preference. I just hadn't seen anyone setting those up, outside of security details. Is this for your range use, or is this set up for grab and go SHTF?Both, plan on using them for classes also.

cOoTeR Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hot shells suck! Had one get pinned between my sling and the back of my neck one day..When I was in the academy the firing line was pretty crowded it was almost a daily occurrence to get hot brass dropped into your shirt. The course of fire was timed with turning targets so there wasn't much you could do about to try to get the brass out without lowering your score. The worst time it happened to me was when we were doing tactical rifle training with the M4. I had two spent casings drop down into my under shirt. When I flinched one of them fell down under my vest and just pressed against my back. That was a pretty good burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I never can remember if that's the carbine that uses glock mags or its another one.Kel Tech uses glock mags, the Hi Point only has a 10 round mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Kel Tech uses glock mags, the Hi Point only has a 10 round mag. The Kel-Tec Sub2000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 The Kel-Tec Sub2000?Yeah, that's the one. Only seen two reports on people who've bought them. One had one that worked perfect the other had sent his back because of misfires and jams. Not heard is it worked better now or not. But yes it uses glock mags and so do the theron defense and just right carbine in 9mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Like most Kel-tec products, hard to find a Sub2000. A friend has one, got to shoot it at an indoor range. SUb2000 in 9mm. I do not recal what mags it used. The 10 rounds I got fire it, it functioned very well. I have this on my list of guns to buy if I can find one.

I've only heard of the ones that use Glock mags but apparently they vary. Edited October 28, 2012 by buildit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 ^^ The Sub 2000 does have a novelity factor. At least the Hi-point does look more rifle like. As for portable long guns, the new Ruger 10/22 Takedown is on my list too. Dang, do I have a long list going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We kind of need a building with rooms and hallways to do the training. We need minimum of four guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
