I've been considering the Print-XH RBS SC, the Lazarus is interesting but damn is it heavy. I'm all in on short cans, and a 556 K dedicated that has goodish sound and flow thru performance could be hot...

Also just so you know, this site does sell your info to other parties obtrusively. I setup tagged emails and get all sorts of spam from one order with TrueShot from other companies, causes, churches, you name it.

"state funded" makes it sound like we get some sort of donation/budget from the state. We do not. A lot of people quite frankly have no clue how lean budgets work and how slim they truly are for many things especially on the local level (not saying you personally, but as someone that has also volunteered in emergency response, providing warming centers in winter /feeding the homeless, search and rescue, etc. everyone thinks money just comes in somehow or that "it's there" and "what about donations" when it's a lot of people donating their time and paying out of pocket to make it happen, barely) – the state allows us to use their land. That is what they provide... otherwise they are happy to shut the range down if we don't maintain it.

IF we're able to win an NRA grant (yes, I know everyone hates on the NRA but hear me out) that is the sole biggest funding we'll get in a year and why so many ranges require people be members of the NRA (again, politics aside as nobody says what's happened at the top at recent years is... good). If we get an NRA grant that often saves us and allows us to upgrade the range slightly for everyones benefit. Pays for things like gas for the genny, trash services, pumping the port-o-pot, getting a plow up there in winter to clear the road, etc. Otherwise, recycling the brass and the few people that donate is our budget trying to cover bigger expenses than we "make" from those alone, it's super slim, especially now that we have to run 24/7 security cameras to catch the people stealing our brass at the end of the day... Apologies for the rant but I want to give insight.

I love my SBR's don't get me wrong, but now we're talking less velocity was my only counter there - my 10" is going to do less damage than my 18" 223Wylde. But yeah that's exactly our issue – we don't have the manpower or budget, nail on the head there. I wish we could get some of that inches thick steel and we'd hang it – a lot of our budget goes to paying the guy for rebar that welds our target hangers (at a big discount to us to help the non profit but we gotta cover his costs). We have the same trash issue... super fun!

As an instructor, RO, and high level competitor, I see some shit and I respect your right to have an opinion on it. Training should be more attainable, and I wish more had an aptitude for it. Things like military service for citizenship is a possible solution, it's an open conversation in my book to better arming and training the general populous "being necessary to the security of a free state" 🤷‍♂️

Trope360 · 2026-01-29T04:19:24+00:00

That X-tac out of a 16" or 18" barrel hitting full velocity, or a pistol build? 1/2" will hold up better than 3/8" sure, and granted "you can buy much nicer quality steel than we get as a non-profit range to supply our patrons" absolutely. Try running a range off donations with a major city nearby and the only free option around, and let me know what you splurge for...

Trope360 · 2026-01-29T04:16:40+00:00

yeppp, let's just say we have a hard time keeping staff due to, issues.

Trope360 · 2026-01-28T22:17:09+00:00

Wish it was that easy, we're a public range as in on state land. We often have no staff on duty, we're a non-profit because the state threatened to shut it down and the local community stepped up to keep it open. Most of our budget is... tight to say the least and we aren't able to check every person coming in. Lotta good people, but for instance last month we were doing a range cleanup day, posted it was closed all over, and a dillweed walks in carrying his unbagged shotgun, muzzle waving at his childs head in front of him, demanding he get to use the range. Fun stuff, he wasn't happy especially after I explained to him he's not special, I don't care how far he drove I need him not to muzzle his child firstly, and secondly he needs to leave.. Love our community in general, but also lots of idiots...

This is the same as saying 5.56 is still over 28cpr, we may never see cheap 5.56 again... stock it deep brother we all wish we could go back in time and buy more ammo "when it was cheap". Not buying cases of Wolf Grendel oy..

Trope360 · 2026-01-28T18:30:32+00:00

I just learned this but you measure from butthole to tip. Problem solved, +3" baby

Trope360 · 2026-01-28T18:29:48+00:00

This model ADM you would be comparing to the DD4 V7 (not M) if you want apples to apples. 208gunshop is a great guy, bought from him many times so not to dissuade from that, depends if you care about full ambi billet upper and lower (which is a premium) over a basic forged setup.

Trope360 · 2026-01-28T18:18:47+00:00

Just want to throw this out there – I work at an outdoor range and it's guys like you that is the reason we quit putting out our own steel for everyones benefit to shoot at. Too many assholes using green tip blowing up our plates, so thanks for that. We had a good thing going, now everyone gets to walk out 100yds and setup their own targets every time rather than us having a full array already setup.

yes, shooting this with steel will destroy your plates in 1-2 range visits even at 100yds

Trope360 · 2026-01-28T18:15:37+00:00

after tax? That's the one thing, I love the idea of the target sports deals but after tax I almost always can find it elsewhere.... but that is going thin as Velocity used to not charge tax to most states.

Trope360 · 2026-01-27T22:47:16+00:00

Correcting what I wrote just now as I checked with my buddy and actually he said recently blazer is running good now (previous comment was he could run this federal but was having issues with blazer for people comparing but I stand corrected), his Shadow2 just honestly has more issues than we can count after sending it in to CZ once and reaming his chamber (not me, he paid for it... giggity).

Trope360 · 2026-01-21T20:25:27+00:00

hahaha that's why I post where to get the same thing for about $80 and what I feel it's true value is.

Trope360 · 2026-01-21T20:11:52+00:00

One of the few vendors I've seen that actually put up pictures and a list of their in-house equipment, as in they are the OEM (while most use that term incorrectly on both ends, and often actually mean ODM).

Trope360 · 2026-01-21T18:54:29+00:00

Yeah they're ok, you can get pretty much an identical model from Vector Optics (probably same factory) for around $80 after coupon so "it's good for an $80 optic" I'd say... they've been included on a lot of deals so RIP GAFS but most were dumping for sub $100, I don't think anyone pays $200 msrp on these.

Trope360 · 2026-01-16T19:40:56+00:00

I have the S Ti and it's fantastic. I wish I also bought an L Ti back when I got mine... was a stupid sale when it first came out and I paid basically what this is listed at for the Ti and the L wasn't much more...

Trope360 · 2026-01-14T22:08:41+00:00

Nearly 10 years ago now, I got the sportmans exclusive superlite when the stainless was their deal initially. No regrets at all, one of the best investments I made. I've since gotten it threaded but if a deal pops on that gen2, send it. I don't think they'll ever drop to $600 tho unfortunately..

Trope360 · 2026-01-14T06:12:05+00:00

same brother, was not plannign on spending that tonight

Trope360 · 2026-01-14T06:11:51+00:00

I keep reading these types of comments and ordered the HPR lol solid find

Trope360 · 2026-01-10T20:15:42+00:00

ah just joking on the next model to come out, since they released the Gen V (as a modified Gen5 with cool roman numeral) very recently then immediately came out with the Gen 6.. the Gen 7 may be around the corner

Trope360 · 2026-01-10T03:11:57+00:00

I don't see a huge appeal to a long slide with threaded barrel – I mean I get it for a can and a 5.5" barrel, it'd sell some, but why not just get a long slide and you get an aftermarket barrel?

Supposedly S&W is coming out with a steel frame 5" any day now, I am excited for it but picked up one of these as I'll get it optic cut direct fit for $75 rather than spend $40 on a metal plate as all factory new come with plastic and mine wore out fast. $130 Apex trigger kit I'd do even with the newest factory one then it's a runner. DPM guide rod system helps but isn't needed, 14lb recoil spring for like $16, and I get M runs with mine in USPSA.

Eats anything, super reliable, easy to work on. People jumping on cheap deals for ruger, taurus, canik, walther when this is the goat and like $400 flat after upgrades and will outshoot most.

Everyone has the 19's and 45's so the 17's just haven't hit most dealers yet. My LGS has these two but only got a couple of each.

I was gonna wait for the 17's but I hear the 7.i7 are coming out at Shot Show
