Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

Thanks for the replies, I've shot the 30 in the past but there was no residue which made me wonder what was going on with this gun. Then again it wasn't the same ammunition, so thanks for the information. And now that we figured out it was the ammuntion, there was one comment saying it's good but di...

Hey Guys, New gun owner and new glock 30SF, first time shooting it today at Blue Ridge. Question about my results. Is it normal to have a lot of residue around the tip? Less than 100 rounds through it, ammo seen in picture. Is this the gun breaking in/oils burning off? Is this caused by the ammo (do...

thanks^ I just checked them out, they have a used normal 30 for 550. 1 of the 6 stores i called said they had 30SF new for 575.

if anyone has any input on gun show prices, please let me know

thanks southern83fire

another question about purchasing... have you all seen considerably better prices at gun shows? Ex: Dulles expo

great advice gunderwood, i'll definitely look into that once I have it! southern83fire I'm fairly familiar with quantico so I'll definitely check them out, thanks! Chasbo00, unfortunately I dont think I'm going to qualify for military. Also guys, I recently called some places around and dealers only...

This past weekend I shot the Glock 17, 19, 20, 30, 36 and the Beretta 92FS. Yes (mix of 9mm and 45). I liked the Glock 30 the best. I want to use this handgun for range shooting and carrying. Does anyone have personal experience/insight about this handgun? Also where have you all in Northern VA purc...

I know this is late but I went shooting with the pro ears gold muffs "pro-ears 33db electronic muffs" this past weekend and they are great! exponentially better than the standard muffs which I had on the first time I went. Both times I had on muffs and plugs. I'm still looking into the cus...

awesome advice guys! I'm definitely going to look into custom plugs and i'll also look into the "pro-ears 33db electronic muffs" I simply googled them and they are expensive but hey, if they're going to save my hearing that's what I'm going to do. I know it's ignorant to assume high end si...

Hey guys, I did a search for this but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I was hoping we could get a list of your favorite headsets. I'm a new shooter and rented ear protection and it was still a little loud imo (I also had earbuds in), I'm going to buy my own muffs when I find a pair worth buy...

edit: they just called of tomorrow too. wow...

crazy story, i'd like to hear if he gets off or not

Hello Scott, Welcome to the forums. If your moving to Fairfax you will need to let us know if your on the east or west side of the county. There are a few ranges on the west side but really only one on the east side. SharpShooters, formerly Gilberts. So anyway, let us know when you do get in the ar...

what a great and friendly crowd, thank you all very much. i'd sure love to come out to a range with some members and learn to shoot the right way. i'm not native to the northern va area, i'm curious where are the ranges?

Hi Scott. Welcome aboard! :welcome: We're always happy to help new folks get going :pistol: thank you :wave: I'm interested in firearms in a responsible manner and I might be pursuing in a law enforcement career so I figured it would be a good idea to join a forum. (i'm on several forums, i'd like ...

Hey guys,

New member here who is relatively foreign to firearms but I'd like to learn. I live in NJ (for now) but go to school VA. Just wanted to say hello and I'd love to learn about firearms before a purchase down the road
