Re: Need a thumb safety for 1911?

Newer gun, bad safety… unless you did a trigger job on it this is on the manufacturer and should be a warranty claim item.

I wouldn’t buy a new safety. I’d get the gun fixed y the folks that let a problem out the door in the first place.

Re: Pistol Carbines

I’ve got a couple. To be contrary… I’m not saying they should be banned/restricted, just that they are not particularly necessary. I’m not really that impressed with them- they are neither fish nor fowl. The two main uses I have for them are training for other weapons and gun games that require them...

Re: Who’s left over here?

Would you expect a bot to admit it?

But it has been slow around here.

Re: Review of the Semi-Auto Ban by William Kirk

Holland&Holland wrote:... cold dead hands


Literally.

If this is the commentary I heard, it won’t make them illegal if you have it… just illegal to transfer one.

You die, and the gun is to be destroyed or sent somewhere else.

Re: Trump and his anti-gun agenda

Well, part of the ATF is on the ball...

Got a suppressor approved in less than 24 hours after getting the eforms done.

Got to give them their due when they do their jobs... even if it might well be better that the job shouldn't include that.

Re: Winchester Western Small Pistol Primers (worth?)

I think that your actual price point is about $75/1000 right now and you may have missed that boat. As an example, Ahlmans has small rifle primers (which you can use in pistol loads if you want to) for, if I remember right, $79/K. They also had shotgun Win 209's for sale at about $200/5k (ie, $40/K)...

Re: SAF members now eligible for CA non-resident carry

Given that I am not going to CA (except through an airport, I have never been there) it really is a meaningless win to me.

That's not to say its not important, but it is of no added value to me.

Re: Two truckers file lawsuit to carry guns across state lines

Face it, the argument is that travel is a right and that one state’s legal permits should be recognized through the union like drivers licenses are. It’s a reasonable argument. That they are driving for a living is an attempt to connect it to interstate commerce, although I don’t quite see how the c...

Re: Two truckers file lawsuit to carry guns across state lines

Personally, I think MN is less of an issue than some others. We do recognize some others more or less.

IL, NY, NJ are bigger fish.

Hawaii would be interesting as well.

Their claim that the 2A doesn’t apply to them really deserves a severe SCOTUS and congressional slap down.

Re: Old Leupold scope repair?

Leupold supposedly has forever warranty.

Get a hold of them. They will either fix or replace it I bet.

Re: Riddle me this- upper fires on one lower but not another.

Too much lube/clp on the firing pin- gels when cold?

That cost me a nice deer this year.

Re: Pistol grip options

If the cash outlay for the grips is too steep, I’d just bite the bullet and buy a new gun. The Beretta 92 series is a full size service pistol. (You said it’s close enough)- and thus you probably would be better off getting a new smaller all around gun for regular carry. Besides, at least in my expe...

Re: Abolish the ATF

I don’t think we should abolish the ATF. They do serve a legitimate purpose. What is needed is to remove the redundant parts of the federal bureaucracy and keep the agencies limited to their congressionally appointed functions. As to the bureaucrats… while it may annoy folks, it probably would be ch...

Re: FL SHOOTS LEGALLY armed motorist - OFFICER SAFETY

I did not watch the video. But police shooting Americans happens often enough that it is like we do not actually have a 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. All police officers receive enough training that ensures they would not have negligent discharges if they actually gave a damn about what they we...
