Get a trust. Obama changed the rules a little bit, but I have a feeling that rule is going to get drop-kicked into the toilet soon. You can't purchase a suppressor through a trust, but you can put in on the trust. When Obama's rule goes away you will be able to buy through a trust again. |
I talked to the LGS owner. He said without a trust, the owner of my estate gets the suppressor tax free. Has to fill out the form for it. Something like that.

Just ordered Trijicon night sights for my CZ today. Expensive little ****ers, but a carry gun should have them.

Any of you suppressor guys.
I'm looking at the Silencerco Saker 556 ASR. It's meant only for a 556 and 22 calibers. It's 6.76" and weighs 16.7oz. Its DB rating is 134. It's $885 for everything. Or The Silencerco Omega 300. It's a 30 cal, rated up to 300 ultra mag. It's about the same length once the brake is removed. It weighs 14 oz but would way closer to 10 oz with the brake removed. Its DB rating for the 556 is 130. It's priced at $1090 OTD. I love the weight of the Omega but I don't own any rifles other than the 556 that can be canned. I highly doubt I'll own any other caliber. as I prefer C&R firearms. I highly doubt I'll ever put a suppressor on any other weapon than a 556. Should I stick to the 556 only, save myself $200. I hate the thought of dropping $1100 on just a suppressor. Is the 3-4oz difference and 3 or so DB lower worth an extra $200? |
If this is true, the CMP will be getting 86,000 M1 Garands from the Philippines. Hopefully they won't be rusted and beat to hell.

That would be great. If I could get one in decent shape for couple/few hundred as opposed to over $1,000 I might pick up another one. Not a real priority, though. I vastly prefer the modern functionality of my M1A.

Bought me a suppressor. The LGS is waiting on the serial number so I can complete the paperwork.

And...... she's done. Just got the Trijicon night sights added tonight.

I was talking to my gunsmith about that tonight (he's also a master-level shooter) and he told me that my problem is probably focusing on the target and not the front sight. I hope it's that simple. But in any event, I need to practice. |

Finished up my suppressor paperwork today.
Now the waiting begins. $880 including the tax stamp isn't too bad. |

Question for you all
Girlfriend wants to get a pistol to carry with her for self defense..Columbia is getting more and more crazy..plus some walking dick holster was walking around the house at 0330 this morning so she is serious about it now Any suggestions for a smaller gun..she is maybe 5'3" and small hands I have been looking hard at these all in 9mm Springfield XD Mod 2 SW M&P Possibly a Glock..haven't looked to much into those yet Any other suggestions..open to about anything |
|
Quote:
I have no experience with the Mod 2, but based on my experience with my XDm I'd think that would be a good choice. XDs have grip safeties, and chamber and mag indicators which will instantly let you know if the gun is loaded/chambered, even in the dark. The only problem I ever had with my XDm was the factory sights, which quite frankly were dog shit. Hopefully that was just an aberration. The gun itself was wonderful, and of the three, I'd recommend the Springfield, although, again, they are all good guns. I probably liked the Glock 26 the least just because it didn't fit my hand very well. But you can't go wrong with any of them. The Springfield is also far and away the easiest to field strip and clean. |

Love my XDS .45. Daily carry since they were released years ago.
Easy to rack the slide, which is important for women, packs a punch, and is easily concealable. Oh, and they are on super sale right now at Palmetto. 799 for a xds 9 or .45 with a decent AR15 |
I am not a fan of baby glocks. They have horrible muzzle jump IMO.

I have an XDs 9mm and my wife has trouble racking the slide. You may want to have her practice that a bit. If she has trouble with that, a 357/38sp revolver may be better. Just point and pull the trigger.

Apparently Springfield is not digging the backlash and backtracking rapidly.
https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/20...te-deal-carve/ Springfield Armory Statement on IFMA’s SB-1657 Senate Deal and Carve-Out Springfield Armory has issued the following statement on their web site: Springfield Armory has always fought hand-in-hand with the NRA, NSSF, ISRA and many others for legislation that fiercely protects the Second Amendment, individual rights and the industry as a whole. Our fight continues today as some members of the Illinois legislature are pushing to overregulate the industry through Gun Dealer Licensing Act (SB1657). “At the time of my initial statement to the media, I was ill-informed of the ramifications of this bill and its detrimental effects to the Second Amendment, which I have personally fought to protect my entire life. I can tell you now, we at Springfield Armory are unequivocally 100 percent against this bill and will continue to work with the NRA and others to ensure that it is defeated,” said Dennis Reese, Chief Executive Officer, Springfield Armory. Springfield Armory, like Rock River Arms, was not aware of the actions taken by our trade association, IFMA, until after the fact. We take this situation very seriously and are looking into how this very unfortunate lapse in communication occurred. Springfield Armory has fought and defeated legislation like this in Illinois for the past 15 years. We are wholeheartedly against this bill and will fight to see it defeated as the unnecessary and harmful overreach that it is. |
Has anybody shot the Tavor X95?
Bought a Kel Tec RDB a month or so ago. I'm not feeling too confident that our Chief will approve it for duty use. I haven't shot it yet in case I decide to sell it. I think he'll approve the Tavor without any issues due to its use by Israeli forces and proven record. Been thinking about selling the RDB and paying the extra $6-700 for the Tavor. It had non-stop great reviews by everyone. Proven battle tested. |
Guns, ex-Red Raider quarterbacks and KC barbecue. What a place this is.
I'm a gun guy for sure, as are my two daughters and my wife. But we lean more towards the wheelguns--especially me and the oldest daughter. Here are the Triplets, also known on occasion as the "Three Little Pigs." Smith & Wesson Model 29, Model 686 and Model 17. http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/pictu...pictureid=1839 And here is the oldest after a typical day of shooting the 686. She shoots at 40 feet, handheld (no rests), .38 Special 158 SWC +P. http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/pictu...pictureid=1837 --JD |
The revolvers are bigger than she is!
Great shooting. At what age did you start letting your kids handle handguns? I started my daughter on a lead sled at 6 with .22s, and free handling a bb gun then, too. She gets to shoot a MP .22 freehand now when I am close by. |

Welcome to the board man..you hang around long enough you will see that this board has a little bit of everything from guns, cars, motorcycle, food, handyman, and just about anything Love the 686..my dad has a 4inch model if I remember right Daughter is a hell of a shot..be careful where you post pictures at..she is a good looking girl and this is a message board of a bunch of dirty old men :D |
We are more respectful in this thread.
Good job teaching her how to handle a weapon. |

The oldest and her husband (no better son-in-law on the planet, by the way--awesome husband and dad) have two boys, both of whom are Chiefs and Royals fans (they're also Cowboys and Rangers fans living down here in Dallas) and we've got both of them shooting. Quote:
The youngest (now 26) likes our Smith & Wesson Model 19. I reload for everything we have in the gun safe, and also cast my own bullets. I purchased a mold some years back for a .38 Special diameter (.358") 105 grain semi-wadcutter. I give it a light dose of Bullseye powder and when fired through one of the K or L frame Smiths, it's like shooting a .22LR. No kick, no big noise--but accurate beyond belief. I developed that load for my wife so as to be able to run five or ten rounds through her carry gun--a S&W Airweight 38. That's not a pleasant gun to shoot but I'm a stickler for staying proficient with the firearm you carry. My wife practices with the Model 19, but then can run a cylinder or two through her Airweight to maintain familiarity and proficiency with trigger pull/action, point-of-aim and point-of-impact. All of the girls love shooting that particular round, so it keeps me busy on the reloading bench. Here's the youngest firing some of those rounds with the Model 19. http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/pictu...pictureid=1841 The oldest girl loves shooting the wheelguns single-action while my wife and the youngest are double-action shooters. Whenever I watch this video of the youngest shooting and I see the smoothness of the trigger pull, breath control and no flinch on an empty chamber, it makes me one proud dad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8lxsO_mduU Now, if I could only get the girls to clean the guns after they shoot them. . . :D --JD |
So, I go to the Doctor yesterday for my annual checkup. No big deal. However, before the Doc comes in, the Nurse tells me that they have a "mandate" to ask a few questions from the Federal Government - questions that I do NOT have to answer if I don't want to.
(1) Do I wear a seatbelt at all times? - yes (2) Do I wear a helmet when riding a bike? - Yeah, right..... (3) Do I smoke? - Not for 45 years (4) Do I have firearms in the home - None of your business Keep this in mind when you hit your local Doctor.... |

Has anyone shot a Tavor?
Or Has anyone shot a 10.5" AR Pistol suppressed? |
My buddy owns a tavor. They're cool. I'd never buy one. The magazine release is strange. Shoots really accurately though. I'd take a ar platform over it any day of the week though. You can do a hundred things to an ar platform.
I'm waiting on my sbr to clear so I can finish my 8.5inch 300 blackout ar platform. |

Time for my yearly qualifications.
Shot a 92% with my duty gun and a 100% with my back up. Also shot around 50 rounds with my 1911. Shot at a paper plate from 15 yards going 1/5. Mad at myself. I then shot 5/5 from 25 yards. Shaking the rust off the first shots, I'm telling myself. |
