My brother has a varmint rifle and it looks nothing like an AR15.
And many people have them that are literally AR15s. Varmint Rifle is another one of those generic terms for a rifle designed for small game. It can be a single shot, a semi auto, a bolt action, a lever action, a pump action or other. It can be in 22lr. 243 win. 223. 30-30. and so on.

Truthfully I hope no one is using these rifles for in-home defense. FMJ or armor piercing plastic tips that small at that velocity would easily punch through most non-brick walls. The best home defense weapons are either shotguns or pistols loaded with hollow points.

Yeah shotguns and pistol rounds penetrate way more drywall than m193. We've already been though this ITT.

I didn't know you could convert it to fire 0.22LR. Also, I thought crimson trace were good?

CMMG kits run around $180 and come with 3 25 round mags. Kinda picky about ammo but I've never had a semi auto 22 that wasn't.

And crimson trace isn't exactly bad per se but it isn't as good as something similarly priced like a Sig Romeo 5 etc. The more important thing is to get back up sights and zero them as well.

Well that and a sling and white light.

frangible ammo is a thing as are soft and hallow points. it can also depend on the housing and how its built. pretty much everything but bird shot is going to over penetrate if you miss to some degree. people also seem to forget that you can get the AR platform in a massive amount of other calibers while keeping the same setup. a .45 AR carbine with a 26round magazine would be ideal.

You had me on the over penetration until you brought up .45acp. That shit goes through WAY more walls than .223/5.56

Gun culture in the United States is so unbelievably warped. I immigrated here and I am still appalled by how your society deems gun ownership more important than the lives of the people that live here.

Whatever makes you feel better dude. You don't have to participate in this discussion, and you won't even address people that are trying to inform you.

Either ignore me the topic or shut the fuck up. Or don't really, but you're not getting anywhere trying to make us feel bad for the shit we own and that literally harms no one

Its a mental and social thing. Guns existing dont turn people into murderous psychopaths. Our youth seems to be fucked in the head big time and were not addressing that enough. Most of these school shootings are done by people under 21 years old.

You sound like one of those "source?" guys in Reddit comments like damn we are on the internet aren't we? Cringe af.

This is one of the most idiotic posts Ive ever seen. I lived there is the equivalent of I have black friends.

Handguns are just as expensive as rifles. I have a SW M&P Shield, and I think that cost like $600ish a few years ago (same as this rifle I just bought).

I also have a Colt Single Action Army Revolver, Henry lever action rifle, and a SW Victory target pistol.

Eesh did you buy it during covid? A shield is like a $350 dollar gun.

Not a bad one btw, I used to own one. I don't like the triggers on M&Ps but they aren't the worst, and the Shield plus looks like it fixed it

I assume I'll get a call from the gun store tomorrow or Tuesday for me to drop by to pick it up.

I'm not sure why some people here think I'm trolling.... Democrats are trying to pass a 1000% tax; I'm trying to get mine before such a thing passes (or prices go up because of such talks, which already is happening). Why would it not make sense for me to buy this now?

You should set up a text or email alert for when it gets dropped off and call the gun store when it gets delivered.

My local gun shop does transfers for $25 but they will take their sweet ass time calling you because they aren't making a lot of money and they are lazy.

tons of people are buying guns now. With all this talk of gun control changes, everyone is going out and getting one before anything happens lol


Just like every other time there is a mass shooting. You'd think these people would pay attention by now, but the type of person that goes "fuck me, there was just a horrific mass shooting.... I better get me a gun before they're all gone?" doesn't think logically to begin with.

I looked it up. I bought it in 2018 for $360. M&P Shield 2.0 with Crimson Trace Laser. My memory sucks apparently.

Yea the store I use charges $40, but is generally on top of it (calls within a couple of hours, unless it gets delivered late; then next morning).

I'm just pissed that I ordered my pistol on June 4th from the same guys and you ordered yours on the 5th and are about to get yours and they haven't even put mine in the fucking mail.

I'm sure it will go out tomorrow but fuck, it'll be almost 2 weeks since I ordered by the time it gets here.

Anyway TC I hope you enjoy it. I really like my Sport 1 despite it getting all the hate for not having a dust cover or forward assist.

I'm sorry . Call and complain; that's what I did on Thursday lol.

And this is the 2nd gen, so it has the dust cover and the forward assist! Not sure why people hated on that it didn't have a forward assist... That thing seems pretty useless.

Yeah and if Garand Thumb's rifle mud test means anything the dust cover doesn't mean a lot either.

Still, I only use it as a .22lr plinker.

I'll never understand the obsession with guns. It sounds like an extremely boring hobby tbh.

I will say I do like the idea of learning archery. Its a timeless art and cooler.

I tend to enjoy gunslinger in my TTRPG but its just a fantasy and mostly based on the whole Western concept.(or in my case, The Dark Tower)

They'll tell you its for home protection then they buy a gun that will take out whoever breaks in and the wall behind them.

Really its because they want to play soldier. People I know who really do have guns for home protection or hunting RARELY go off raving about guns. They own a gun the same way they own a hammer.

I emailed them Friday I think so i think it will go out tomorrow. It isn't like I'm doing without guns or anything, but frustrating that I ordered a holster and an extra mag and they've been here for a few days now.

I got a Taurus GX4 which is only $214.99 after the rebate, so it might be backordered from Taurus themselves idk. Hella sweet deal, I couldn't pass up on it.

Oh btw PSA is currently sold out of every sub $700 AR. So you did good to get yours while you could.

I'm probably about to buy a case of m193 Tuesday from my lgs just in case the price skyrockets
