Bought a Smith & Wesson 9 MM for my wife to use, and a FNX 45 Tactical FDE for myself.

The FNX is a super nice piece. Hold 15 rounds, very well built. Love the case too.

Finally after years of having my suppressor and the parts for my SBRs (built just a couple weeks ago) I went to the range. Holy shit was it awesome! The sub sonic 300blk was so damn quiet out of the Rugged Surge 7.62. Also shot the 55gr 5.56 (did not change the end cap for 5.56) out of the surge and it significantly quieted down the gun.

I have never had to clean a magazine after a range day...but yeah that is a necessity running suppressed.

The Scorpion is such a bad ass gun. However, I ordered some parts to make it better. I knew I should have ordered the HBI mini AK safety lever, charging handle, and trigger shoe 2 weeks ago as they are out of stock now. Didn't get to fully enjoy it as the range I was at does not allow rapid fire (1 shot/2 sec).

Only issue was getting the irons sighted in on the SBRs. Both were shooting way low and the front sight post was screwed all the way in. Need to figure out how to fix that.

What is she chambered in?

Looks sweet!
It's a .22.

I'm not much of a gun guy, but I had the extra time on my hands, and I wanted something just in case this whole pandemic thing got crazy. At least I could plink a few rounds into a looter if need be. Better than nothing I guess.

Off topic a bit, but shot a couple boxes of liberty ammo. Anyone else been using this stuff?
As advertised, noticeably less recoil, gun/mag is much lighter, 100% so far. 45 slugs are going 1900 fps with 600 ft/lbs.
Ordered some 9mm that showed up as well; 50gr, 2000 fps, 450 ft/lb

I haven’t shot the Liberty ammo yet but have it for my .380, .38 and .45

I’m looking forward to trying it out. I couldn’t find any 9mm

So a super light projectile, moving twice as fast.

Does that burn up barrels faster?

My new AR. Springfield Saint Edge. Added a Sig Romeo5 RDS, BCM KAG, and a Feyachi FL17 light. Can't wait to go shoot it.

Let me know how you like that Sig Romeo I’m tempted for the price point. But only ever used a vortex when I shot a friends AR.

I’ll have to look into it, how is it price wise?

not cheap, 45 is about $1.80/rd

I have hornady critical defence for my pistols and I bitched about that price lol

Although the liberty stuff isnt that much more a box, not like we shoot a lot of our defence rounds

I love my romeo 5 on my AR...I'm gonna put one on my scorpion soon

Super easy to use and dial in and for the price its awesome

Good to know I may go this route the price is hard to beat.

It seems really well built. I saw a ton of positive reviews on it. I'll let you know what I think of it. Check this out in the meantime:



Thank you will watch today.

I've got a Romeo 4c on my MPX, I really like it. I think I am going to get a Romeo 5 for my Scorpion.

Good to hear thank you.
