Dolomite Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Already have other pistols.. but the .380 seems like an easy pocket/conceal carry. xd9 is a bit too bulky.. p22 is well.. a 22. I’m fairly fat, a sig p220 .45acp is a viable option for me. My CZ75 P-01 straight disappears, and it’s a real 9mm. In my opinion, it’s more about the holster than the firearm when it comes to concealment. I’ve seen a 165lb dude pull a full size 1911 that I would’ve sworn he couldn’t couldn’t conceal.

G-Duax Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 I'm up to a portly 145 lbs, and have been carrying my 1911 for many years. Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 I carry a Ruger SR40c rather well. It’s definitely about the comfort/position of the holster vs. the size of the gun. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 It's all about the holster, I has a shit holster for my s&w 642 and it printed and that's a small pistol. I have with a good holster and a medium jacket consealed my full size usp .45 so anything is possible with the right gear. I'm also a fucking bean pole so not a lot of meat to help hide something.

dimlight65 Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 IWI had a range day at Defender Outdoors to show off a couple new, and some older, guns. I test drove the new Tavor 7. It's very nice! I went to try out the new Tavor TS12 but the range wasn't having any of those shenanigans. Just from handling the TS12 (and shooting the 7, my SAR, and my friend's X-95) I know I want one. I've got a couple months to save up before they start shipping, so maybe I won't have to sell the Saiga 12 to finance it. We'll see. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Now they are making a conversion for the Hi-Point carbines... or will be in the near future. Yeah, yeah, ok, I got the e-mail today saying that those of us who signed up for the waiting list way back when, could order our stocks! I debated FDE but decided on basic black. Hopefully it will be here before the weekend so I can install it. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Well that sure doesn't look like a black stock. 2 Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Well that sure doesn't look like a black stock. Yeah, the lighting in the shop is really weird. Ok ok, right after I posted that, I called Hightower and changed my order from black to FDE. I had a good reason at the time, but can't remember it right now. Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Would love to get one of those Bulpup stocks for my Hi Point, but, I would also have to add a grip fin to make it CA compliant. Quote Link to comment

And if so, you better have a better gun. Otherwise, target practice doesn't care what color you spend money on. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 The USA Constitution has no "good reason" to affirm the preexisting right to keep bear and possess arms. Note that the second amendment to the US Constitution prohibits "Infringement" not just just more excessive abridgement of the PREEXISTING right. Something idiot lawyers should read before they make even more fools of themselves for the simple failure to be able to read plain English grammar ! 2 Quote Link to comment
a.d._510_n_ok Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Court victory legalizes 3D-printable gun blueprints A multi-year legal battle over the ability to distribute computer models of gun parts and replicate them in 3D printers has ended in defeat for government authorities who sought to prevent the practice. Cody Wilson, the gunmaker and free speech advocate behind the lawsuit, now intends to expand his operations, providing printable gun blueprints to all who desire them. The longer story of the lawsuit is well told by Andy Greenberg over at Wired, but the decision is eloquent on its own. The fundamental question is whether making 3D models of gun components available online is covered by the free speech rights granted by the First Amendment. This is a timely but complex conflict because it touches on two themes that happen to be, for many, ethically contradictory. Arguments for tighter restrictions on firearms are, in this case, directly opposed to arguments for the unfettered exchange of information on the internet. It’s hard to advocate for both here: restricting firearms and restricting free speech are one and..... https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/10/court-victory-legalizes-3d-printable-gun-blueprints/ Edited July 11, 2018 by a.d._510_n_ok 1 Quote Link to comment

Dolomite Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 Best part about the 3D case is in the settlement, the DOJ acknowledges that assault weapons are by nature full auto capable, and that semiautomatics are not inherently military like weapons. It’s a nice little bit of 2A affirmation that may be helpful in the future after Kavanaugh gets confirmed. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dguy210 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Well as I have a love for old weird firearms, I recently found a 1920 Remington Model 10-A at what seemed like a decent price. Have it on hold as it was 5 minutes before closing. Edit: Now mine. In great shape too. 30" full choke, bluing and wood are in extremely good shape and it appears to function properly. Given the age I'll probably use it more of as a display piece then something I'm going to use often though. Will likely do a fire test with a light load from distance just to check function.

Can't speak to the gen2 but I was lucky enough to preorder a gen1 before they were sold out forever a good 7-8 years ago now. I've put probably 5k 9mm rounds though it since then and I've really enjoyed it as a little point and plinker. 1 Quote Link to comment

Just the gen1 (lightly used) at my old LGS in the Glock 19 mags I believe. Honestly, Glock 17 or the Beretta 92 and I'd probably have bought it as I already have both. Ugh, might have to move it on to the to buy list. Quote Link to comment

There are many aftermarket styles you can get to improve it, or I got one of these:https://www.mcarbo.com/kel-tec-sub-2000-charging-handle-cover.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment
G8KeaPoR Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Update to my earlier list. Bought a SCCY 9mm for the wife. (she wanted a teal gun cause it was cute go figure.) Have to say though its a great gun. Low price, great quality, and shoots beautifully. We paid just over 300 for it thanks to the tax man. Also I finally got me an Interarms ppk/s. I traded a guy at work my S&W ppk/s for his Interarms one and 200 bucks. Now I am just waiting on my buddy to cut the threads on the end of a PPS barrel so I can swap it on the Interarms PPK/S and its 007 time 😄 ATF Tax stamp is in and suppressor on the way! 1 Quote Link to comment

He was telling me "Yeah, I put in this trigger and I had to file down part of the safety, so i guess I dont have a safety anymore" Same guy also bought some gay bright green anodized metal stuff like rear cover, mag extension cover and bigger mag release button. The way he described to me how often his release gets tripped in the holster only made me picture his magazine flying across the room. Edited June 5, 2019 by Fat510 Quote Link to comment
