I am having problems finding a front mount for the sling. All i find are the screws for the front of the magazine barrel.

Slings mounts for shotguns aren't much more than a hook and screws. They usually mount around the magazine tube or in between the barrel and tube. You'll find a lot of light mounts very similar.Originally Posted by Alisanos

Yea, i suppose i just find it awkward since the magazine and muzzle are flush making the swivel protrude in front of the barrel slightly.

Glad to see this thread is still alive and kicking, been off the forums for a while.
I was considering buying a an M&P recently but decided to spend the money on building a dedicated 22LR upper for my AR15. I picked up a CMMG barrel, and some smaller parts, I don't have a table vise so I'm waiting for it to come in the mail so I can toss the barrel onto an old receiver I have. I also bought a nice new 12 gun safe (RSC for the anal) for my rifles, I'm enjoying that very much. I'm considering picking up a Mosin, I know Cabela's has sales every now and again on them ($99) and I have $44 worth of points I haven't used.
Bought a Sig 229 yesterday. Have been quite happy with the purchase since then. I got it used, but it's got all the bells and whistles on it and only cost me $700. Came with a threaded barrel, Trijicon night sites and two extra mags. Beautiful weapon.
Picked up a new Springfield Armory 1911 Operator
I haven't had the opportunity to shoot it; I plan to within the next week or so. I also finished putting together my dedicated 22LR AR upper so I need to test it out as well.
Alright, so all my firearms experience has consisted of boy scout camp firing ranges, and going pheasant hunting 20 years ago with a very old 16 gauge. I'm considering buying my first handgun, but was raised by hippies so am guilt tripping over having firearms in the house. I'm still not convinced the fact that owning a gun will be fun, make my home safer, and turn me into a real man is worth the risk that my fiance is going to blast me some day because she's pmsing and out of chocolate.
In the mean time, I signed us both up for a handguns 101 class from groupon, so I can learn how to clean it with out shooting my eye out or something. If I do decide to purchase one, any recommendations?
I've been considering a revolver, but hear good things about the Beretta PX4 Storm. We have very different size hands, so the fact that it had interchangable grips sounds pretty appealing.
A gun isn't going to make your home any safer. You make your home safer, and if you feel that there's a need for protection and that deadly force is a legitimate response to a threat then a gun can help with that, but just having a gun in the house won't change anything. In fact, if you are unwilling or unable to use it, it makes your home less safe. It's a serious decision that you need to make, and it can't be taken lightly. That said, I find shooting amazingly fun and spend about 40 bucks a week on ammo at the range, if nothing else I own a gun for that reason.
I know this sounds like a broken record but, go to your local gun store and check out what feels right in your hand. I personally absolutely love my Sig 229 and can't stand my friend's Glock 17, but he loves his Glock and is just so so about my Sig. It's all down to what feels right, and different stuff will feel different. That said, stay away from Ruger, never seen one that was consistent without failures other than their .22LR line.
Revolvers are nice because they're so simple, just pull the trigger. If there's a failure, you just pull the trigger again. On the other side, semi-autos are much more feature filled and hold more rounds. It's down to preference, I can't stand revolvers, but I know plenty of people who put their life on them.
PX4 is somewhat sketchy. It had some serious teething problems back in 2008 to the point of it being more of a liability. Today it's hit or miss. You might get a decent one or it might start jamming up at the 300 round mark. I've only personally fired an acquintence's once. The palm swells on the grip are....different. Kinda fat. Also, the trigger pull is looooooong and heavy. Even for a DAO it was kind of heavy. That was about a year and a half ago. Things might have improved. But for the money I would recommend looking elsewhere. Look at Glock or the SW M&P series for starters.

I received basic firearms training over the weekend. Learned how to shoot a glock, some .45 that I think was a 1911 kimber, and a KRISS Vector. Instructor was a nice, well spoken srs bsns guy who works for some private firm. Apparently I'm a great shot for a beginner, which makes me very ~smug~ though he might just be saying that so I'll take more lessons (which I will when I have cash).
I know nothing about firearms so have no interest in penis waving competitions but I had a great time. My thoughts were the glock seemed very practical, the .45 was more fun to shoot/amusing but seemingly less practical, and the vector was like engaging god mode. I didn't get to try his M4 as the ammo was more expensive, nor did he have anything like an AK for me to try out, so I have nothing to compare the vector to, but I found it insanely easy to use. He had some optics on it, with a little red dot in a scope, and it was effortless.
I've begun saving up for my next purchase.
I think I'm gonna get something in 7.62x39...

Where are you buying ammo that 5.56mm is more expensive than .45 ACP?
People either love a 1911, or don't. since you seemed to like the glock a lot, buy one!

Canada, it says so under my name. The trainer sold me the ammo and the only conceivable reason for him to mark one up over the other is because in his own words he hates cleaning the M4. Buying one is a hassle, money is also an issue. I don't feel inclined to own a handgun in the city anyway. If I ever move out of the city, I'm sure I would own more than one, just for the fun of it.
Since I'm not interested in practicality, I might take the 1911 over a glock since it was harder to use and that makes it more fun. I suspect if I got good with one of those, the glock would be even easier, but not vice versa.

I ended up having to get dyes to make my own .303 for my enfield because to get them locally I was looking at $7~ a round.
I would assume so. http://www.cabelas.ca/store/?section...#productanchor
The laws have been pretty confusing when I tried to find specific information but I think you can do most things except have an automatic firearm of any kind, and as long as you follow some fairly exhaustive procedures for obtaining and transporting them.
Dude, $7 a round? I smell a business opportunity here.Are you allowed reloading equipment in Canada?Canada, it says so under my name.
