Yes the ar15 is a rifle-I bought it off a friend of mine.  (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)    I ordered a carry holster for a new pistol which I didn't mention-springfield armory XD .40.


They actually make AR15 pistols though they are kind of impractical.

Rob, you should have asked me. I have a friend who would be glad to get rid of, er, uh, sell you his XD .40. It's picky about ammo (unlike his Smith and Wesson .40) and he wants it gone. I don't think he's shot 200 rounds through it.

I should pick up my new carry pistol on Monday if it comes in. I guess I'm old school, I ordered a S&W Airlight .38 special. I was (and will) buy the Scandium frame .357 mag (same size), but I decided to try this one and make sure I liked how it fit/carried. I'll either sell it to a friend or give it to my wife and order the .357 after I try it.

Of course my Beretta 92 is off at Beretta getting repaired (new pistol, wouldn't cycle properly if at all???). While it's there I'm having a trigger job done on it by the factory. And, I've got 2 more 15 round mags coming in the mail (I have 2 10 rounders and 2 15 rounders now, I've got 2 more coming free as part of a promotion from Beretta). However, this will probably be my last purchase from Beretta after dealing with their service department. They seem to go out of their way to be hard to deal with (unlike smith and wesson or Ruger who have both been outstanding when something was needed). And, Beretta gives you a 1 year warranty (my weapon went back to them within 2 months, but that was because it took me that long to get to the range with it).

I've got about 250 through mine and it hasn't malfunctioned yet. He should send it back to Springfield. They can fix the problem. I fixed mine before I ever shot it. I just took a dremel and polished the ramp and smoothed the edge leading into the chamber and the edge at the top. Some need more some need less.

I ordered a stainless one since their finish doesn't seem as nice as a glocks. Now if I can just learn how to shoot better.
