Recently got the latest MantisX 10 training tool. I bought the original one when it had just came out and it helped me improve my shooting a lot.
This new iteration is even better. Took it out for its maiden live-fire sessions a few weeks ago with my new VP9L.

Highly recommended. Do not buy if you're sensitive to criticism, because it is not shy about telling you where you need improvement :p

Picked this up recently on a special with upper and lower purchased separately. AR15. I have yet to shoot it. I’ve got another one that’s a Ruger. This one came with a Magpul fixed rear and fore grip. Palmetto State Armory

Have one of these as well.

Yes it's on an airsoft trainer that matches my home defense pistol. Use it for all the LARPing around the house I can get away with. :LOL:

seems like an appropriate place to ask, where do you guys keep pistols in your trucks? mounts? safe?

My other pistol stays on my hip.

Time to order your 80% lowe... uh, I mean, AR styled paperweights now before the ban.

I’m screwed in Maryland. They passed a ban on all forms of what they call “ghost guns” on June 1st. Guess I have to buy some land in VA and put a toilet in a shed so I can get a VA driver’s license.

Love me some Big Blue!
Yep, probably the best upgrade I've made over the years. Loaded up 2k rounds of 9mm last night to get ready for the 4th. Getting it set up for .223 today.

When we settle back down from traveling, I'm going to get an automated 1100 set up to prep .223 brass.

Yea but since they have no way of knowing about your paperweight collection, what's to ban?

The big issue for me is I never bought any kits. I bought all my guns from an FFL shop when I lived in Va Beach.
I see. I just looked at one of the websites I had used before. They no longer ship 80% lowers to MD. Bummer.

I did find it funny one day I was in the shop waiting on the background check to clear and this guy was nervously asking about 30 round magazines. Finally the owner of the shop looked at him and asked "Are you from Maryland? You know we don't care here in VA, how many mags do you want?"

The guy looked like he was ready to pass out grabbed five mags and was out. We got a kick out of it.
