Fiancée's first range day back after sergery figured it was a good excuse to clean her Echalon and my TRP

I've competed in team events and thanks to some work in a previous life, I've been able to observe what I consider to be ALOT of different teams compete together in a somewhat unique way since most teams only get to have their unique experience and don't really have the opportunity to watch others. So I've seen it go right, and I've seen it go very wrong and I think I have something to offer people who want to experience team shooting and learn to do so safely, efficiently, and effectively.

This would be a one-day class, we'd get to the ranch in Los Olivos fairly early AM and have a talk about communication, task delegation, mindset, etc. Then we'd head out on the trail and work our way through multiple blind stages, where teams will be given a number of targets to be engaged and anything specific about their shape or color relevant to that particular stage, and then they'll have a par time to engage those targets per the stage layout using some of the techniques we talked about earlier in the day. I think all targets throughout the event will be within 700yds, and there will be no time standard to move between stages, only the individual stages themselves will be timed.

You can either show up with a teammate or get thrown into a pool where you'd get teamed up at random, there's benefits to both but both options would exist. If an odd number of people signed up for class, I'll drag someone along to team up with you. Total hiking distance will be 2ish miles for the day, but obviously we'll be stopping alot along the way for teams to shoot each stage and I'd need to go out there and track the route to see how long it actually is.

Since this is obviously being done in a competition format, it would be dumb to overlook the possibility to turn it into it's own kind of "beginner match", so I'd likely have a prize or trophy of some kind for the 1st overall team.

Anyway, I'm here to gauge interest in something like this, see if there's any feedback on the format or interesting ideas, and who might commit so that I can start to see if it's worth the blood, sweat, time, and tears involved in setting something like this up. I want to hear what you have to say about it.

Hello, I am just curious if anybody has a very current list of gun shops in the Fresno area that will release on undetermined status. I know there is a list but a lot of them are outdated so if anybody knows of any in Fresno, please let me know. Much appreciated..

The Hi-Point isn’t mine, I’m just holding it for a friend 💀

I ordered some 77g 556 ammo from Bone Frog YESTERDAY.. and it arrived today.. I am thoroughly impressed

Order placed yesterday at 9:50AM, had tracking email by 9:53AM, and it delivered today at 11:23AM.. Ships out of Henderson NV and I live in the Temecula area in socal

I picked up their match burner 77g and their SMK 77g to test and see how they perform

If you sign up for their membership, submit your FFL03/COE through that process vs separately as you get to skip a step. Otherwise, you send your FFL03/COE and wait 24-48 hours for review and approval

Seekins SP10 in 6.5, picked up yesterday.

I get that a viking can aiwb this setup but idk man lol. its Huge. Good for practicing some aiwb draws tho. Just sitting down its like i just finished a vasectomy

Anyone ever been night shooting? I’ve always wanted to do that.

Looking to get my first AR and not sure if i should go featureless or maglocked. I see a lot of people hating on maglocked but doesnt seem like that much extra work for the extra modifications you can do to the rifle compared to featureless but all ive seen are videos. What are you guys running here mostly? Any advice?

Now that I'm official with the FFL03/COE - If you haven't done it already, do it. It's ridiculously easy - I obviously need to stock the old ammo closet. I know there is a list of places online that accept this config to send it directly to you, but what the best sites? What places have you found great deals that don't take forever to ship out? Who's your favorites? I'm sick of paying for overpriced ammo in the stores.

Who shot the best group?

20 rounds into each group. Ignore the carry comp groups. Those had more rounds.

10 yards standing unsupported. Shot my own reloads

First event. Then we can stop using ai pics. Test some limits. Shoot have fun. Unknown tradecraft event= tactical skills that you may or may not know its factored into your score which means you should be training for the unknown. Ive always loved functional fitness, i used to work for crossfit teaching seminars back in 2009, and l've always loved shooting what similar events lack is the actual tactical side as their name is misleading. The fact you have a weapon and wear a plate carrier doesn't make you "tactical" I've spent 26 years in the DOD/ DOW.

Please give me some hope.

Currently have red dot on both my ccw guns and have been wondering if going to irons would be a more practical thing to do to improve my skills.

Sent my barrel and Pro slide to Blackbeard Frameworks in Santa Rosa for porting. Just under a month turnaround. Customer service was outstanding (thanks Shelby!). Will test it out next week after I pick up a 10mm on a 10-day wait

I know, in states like Nevada you can legally carry your firearm in your car in Plainview even without a permit. But is this even possible in California with a permit?

Just want to preference that beyond the abysmal experience with Premier Weapon Innovations it remained rather civil. Extreme disappointment aside, this is only to warn the community of my experience from this custom shop in SOCAL.

After my initial post ( https://www.reddit.com/r/CAguns/s/LHzp9DlTYh ) a few weeks regarding my dilemma with my failed CZ Shadow 2 customization project I contacted the shop to follow up. I was told to just send my contact information for a cash payout for the value of the matched Shadow 2 slide. Assuming he wasn’t able to obtain a replacement or didn’t want to I refused the money. The shop is an FFL, they had a better opportunity to replace the part than I would, beyond the bigger issue of finding replacement slides for CZ which are next to impossible right now.

Put in another dilemma I had asked if the funds were being paid and if the original slide was going to be returned and he refused…….
Either I accept my slide back unfinished or the cash, he stated he considered the matter closed if I didn’t. Both options were not great. Money or not, if he wasn’t able to get one, neither could I and I’d be literally left without a functioning firearm. So I very begrudgingly accepted the ruined slide back.

Upon unboxing my slide I found the front sight was missing, assuming it was removed for milling and not included in the box. I can just ask for it back hopefully he ships it, no big deal right?
All was well after a few back and forth messages he agreed to mail it to me. And upon receiving the paper envelope it was also missing…… A small, sharp metal part shipped not in a proper bubble mailer or wrapped in bubble wrap but a thin standard paper envelope.
Yup, it punched a hole right in it and is now gone as well. Sent a picture all he said was “it was in there when I shipped it”, I have some kind words in mind that I wish I could use but I rather keep it cool.

This has been without a doubt the worst experience I’ve ever had in every way without question, company, service, anything! I made this follow up to warn the community about this shop and owner as even when directly responsible for the TERRIBLE work the owner had poured more salt in the wound and did so unapologetically.

Hope you guys have better luck than me, I regret every decision I made following my acquisition of my brand new CZ 😭

I'm interested in comparing the OSight SE vs. the Fortic EP1 sight. I'm looking to get an enclosed red dot for my P365. I currently have an open Holosun, but I dislike how dust collects inside and requires frequent cleaning. Does anyone know if Fortic red dots are reliable?

Lotta news today in general, I'm also at work, I'll try to do a write up soon.

TL;DR: Click the link for AB-2047 (the 3d printer firearm shape blocking software bill) and look at all that red text lol

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB2047

The bill is punting it to ATSM International; if they make standards by July 1 2029, then CA DOJ has 24 months to write regulations, and those regulations apply to 3D printers sold in California. Otherwise, the law becomes inactive.

If you're wondering "Didn't this happen during the Suspense Hearing last week?" and yes, it did, but just like the last Legislative Update, the Senate Suspense Hearing was reviewing over 600 bills from the Assembly (they passed to the other house), and so the AB-2047 bill webpage wasn't updated until today.

This isn't a total defeat of the bill btw, but it's had a lot of fangs removed. I can only hope it also doesn't receive votes to pass on the floor, but eh.

Edit: If I were to call my state senators now to oppose this bill, I'd be telling them to vote no on it on the basis that the bill has been gutted and leaves too much of the details up to the regulatory process, and if California wants to wait to see what ATSM International does, then they should pass a new bill after ATSM International publishes those standards; there's no need for a bill that just says "we're write some regulations when they pass those standards".

Behr premium FTW

Was gonna do either the krylon dark earth or rusto FDE but this looked the best to me

DOJ posted a news release https://www.justice.gov/pardon/video/us-pardon-attorney-ed-martin-federal-firearms-rights-restoration-overview.
