I don't like the AR-15. You shouldn't like it either. Don't buy it. 5.56 NATO is baby ammo. Get a real rifle.
Also my stomach lurched when I saw you refer to recoil as kick.

My brother did offer me a .22 pistol that used to be my uncles. I would need to get the GF's approval before actually bringing it into our house. That and a gun lock, and the requisite safety bits. I dunno, there have been times when I really was interested in taking him up on the offer, but never wound up saying yes or no. | ||

+ Good weight to it, I like the feel, 1911 model is classic for a reason. Sights aim more steadily than the M&P and recoil is more manageable, probably to do with the extra ounces in it. Half the clip size doesn't bother me; I expected it with a .45. Looks very, very pretty. - I despise the trigger, very short pull and not smooth at all. Feels slightly "clunky" to me. Wouldn't fire on my second load for whatever reason. The steel, serrated grip is not preferable to the polymer (I believe?) one of the S&W. Stronger shot of course, but not as grand as I was hoping for, lol. Something about the slide bugs me, but it's smooth. Verdict? I'll trade it in for something else eventually, but will enjoy it while I have it. I like the Smith & Wesson more up until I see the results on the target sheet. There are no doubt better .45s than this and it might have to do with the brand. I tried a 9mm Desert Eagle a while back and fell in love with the trigger pull. Smooth as butter. If I trade this one in, it'll probably go towards a DE of some sort. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Go Israel. :-> These are my best results after sighting my red-dot. 25 yards, 15-25 rounds, .223 brass. Any tips on controlling my pull with a 10 lb. trigger would be great. Also, is it time for me to scoot the target back to 40 or 50 yards, or should I continue to tighten my grouping at 25? | ||

What made you choose the bull pup? | ||

I honestly predict that bullpups are the future. The Tavor did a great job at hashing out a lot of the misgivings most shooters originally had about bullpups, and the micro Tavor is growing in popularity too. It's not perfect, but it's perfect for me. | ||

I like this guy. .223 is what you give to your girlfriend when she says the .308 or 30-06 hurts her shoulder. Ignore the talking heads on TV calling an AR a "high powered, military grade assault rifle." Many states don't allow .223 for hunting deer because you can't even reliably and humanely kill a deer with it, in their view. I understand that you're just shooting for recreation so terminal ballistics may not be at the top of your priorities list when shooting at paper. Nice to see more gun owners on here though, there probably aren't many. I own a Mauser K98k made in 1943. 8mm Mauser is a great round for deer, hogs, elk, Soviets, bigfoot, etc. I have my eyes on a Ruger Speed Six for concealed carry. I keep a little single-shot .223 for cheap target practice and coyote.

You need to do a little more research. 1911's are famous for their light trigger pulls. I personally prefer it. This is how a single-action 1911 will always function, regardless of manufacturer, but Taurus are definitely not the premier brand out there. Companies like Para make a double-action 1911 which will have a longer, heavier trigger pull than the standard but there's really no point in having a DA pistol with a manual safety, IMO. | ||

And my opinion on the 1911 is amended. First thoughts were negative, but I'm now appreciating it for its better qualities, having gotten used to it. The trigger on this one is indeed superior. I tried a Kimber two weeks ago and prefer the 1911 trigger pull over a longer one. | ||

I have a CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow, quite a clunky heavy beast but very accurate and I've never had a malfunction with it. Will also shoot any kind of ammo | ||
