Topeka man says new gun law allowed him to delay armed robber
 

3 punks robbed the Academy Sports store in Topeka, KS the other day. This guy delayed and may have possible helped thwart the getaway. All thanks to the new Kansas law that allows conceal carry without a license.

Massive Taurus Safety Settlement Could Include 100,000 Pistols
Posted by Bob Owens on July 28, 2015 at 7:49 am
Though it seems to largely be flying under the radar, a $39 million class action settlement by Taurus Firearms could impact up to 100,000 handguns with alleged safety design issues:

Brazil-based handgun maker Forjas Taurus SA has agreed to a $39 million settlement in a class action lawsuit alleging some of the company’s most popular semi-automatic handguns can discharge when dropped and have a defective safety that allows the gun to fire even when it’s engaged.

According to court documents filed May 15 in a U.S. District Court in Florida, the company has agreed to pay up to $30 million to owners of nine separate handgun models who opt to send their pistols back, with owners receiving anywhere from $150 to $200 for their pistols depending on how many choose that option.

The agreement also will extend the warranty for the nine handgun models, allowing gun owners to send the pistols back to have the handguns inspected by Taurus technicians and address the “safety defects” alleged in the suit. Documents show the settlement could include as many as 100,000 handguns.

The settlement also calls for a maximum $9 million in attorney’s fees.

A Taurus official confirmed the settlement agreement, arguing the company does not admit any wrongdoing.

The settlement includes the following pistols.

PT-111 Millennium
PT-132 Millennium
PT-138 Millennium
PT-140 Millennium
PT-145 Millennium
PT-745 Millennium
PT-609
PT-640
PT-24/7
The safety issues do not apparently affect the older metal frame pistols based upon Beretta designs, nor the G2 models.

:hmmm:

I've been on an SKS buying binge the past few weeks. For some reason I really like them, and had to add to the collection.

I bought 1 Russian, 1 Romanian, and 2 Yugos. I ended up selling the Romanian over the weekend since I went a little overboard.

Once I get the cosmoline cleaned off the Yugos, I'll post some pics.

In

1680 powder at $19/lb for 8lb jug at Powder Valley.

http://www.powdervalleyinc.com/

Ordering 16lb.

That should make a few 300 BLK.

I don't remember who recommended it but I have been using Wikiarms and, for the most part, it has been great. Lately, though, I've gotten emails around 4am or so saying that Freedom First Outfitters has 7.62 X 39 ammo for 0.13/round. By the time I get up in the morning and read that email (usually from 7-8:30am) and then click the link to go to their website to get the deal, the price is 0.91/round.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do you think this place is just trying to jack with the system in order to generate traffic to their site? Or do they simply sell out that fast? And if it's the latter, why is the difference between their sale price and their regular price so extreme?

I don't know that I've ever seen 7.62x39 for 0.91 per round. That's outrageously expensive. It sounds to me like they're gaming the system.

EDIT: right now they have Wolf for $0.24/round - http://www.freedomfirstoutfitters.co...122-gr-1000rds

Palmetto has the Aimpoint Micro H1 on sale for $499 and the fantastic Aimpoint PRO on sale for $365.

http://palmettostatearmory.com/

I have a PRO and it's awesome. Comes with the prefect mount for an AR and 3 year always-on battery life. I want a Micro, but the new Trijicon has me intrigued.

It says the two are on sale for $629 and $424...

Apply code "MICRO" and/or "PRO" after putting in cart.

Too bad the Micro needs a $110 mount to bring it up to eye level on an AR.

Maybe you should call them and ask them

I saw this today...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...errorists.html

I'm thinking of picking one up for 1400...I've already got one AR, but you really cannot have too many AR's.

That AR is certainly loaded.

Nice handguard, nickel bolt and carrier group, solid trigger guard, etc. $1400 is a little steep for any AR, IMO.

Heh...I bought my first one (integrity arms) a few years ago literally one week before Columbine and it was 1900. Anything below 2G's is fine with me. I'd like to build one but dont have the time and I dont want a DPMS for a grand.

I don't own a factory AR. :D


I use a lot of Palmetto parts, especially their F/N cold hammered forged barrels and nickel BCGs.

Daniel Defense, Midwest, and Troy rails with Magpul buttstocks.

We do our own trigger springs and polishing.

The last AR-15 I built had a lowly 16" DPMS bull barrel. It shoots 2-3" groups at 500 yards.

Total cost: $460+Redfield Revenge Scope

Sorry...I'm not into dick measuring, but if you want me to say so, 'nice dick'...

I was pointing out the gimmick of the AR and that I was thinking of buying another. I dont know everything there is to know about guns, and I readily admitted that.

Makes it very hard to get into said culture when presented with STFU noob, at every step.

Not my intentions at all!

It's a wonderful hobby if you can get into it, and it doesn't take much time. The longest part of the process is choosing parts.

A build will take about a couple hours your first time, and after that considerably less.

thx...sorry, I got railed at another gun forum, so let just say I'm a little sensitive and I left the forum.

I'd like to begin building as well as loading my own ammo.

I bought a mossberg ultimag to really sky bust the snow geese from the dikes. The 3.5 in really pound them or high up.

:)


I run into people all the time that are asshats when it comes to gloating about guns, and I feel horrible that I was that guy for a second.


When the time comes for you to start building and reloading, PM me or post here and I will load you up with a ton of websites that have the best deals.

Yah, $1400 is a bit steep for an AR IMHO. It's a nice rifle, I like Spikes Tactical stuff too.

I thought Raider fans only used Tec-9's, Mac-10's and AK's. :p

Hard to afford on welfare.

LMAO

Welcome back.

Well I do have an oakland flea market ak bro. SKS I bought at the Stockton Flea market from this chinese guys trunk who was trying to sell basically ramen noodles and other chinese food as a cover.

no worries...bro hug and all that. :)

Q: If money were no object, which AR would you buy?

I'm thinking of upgrading my goose gun too. I've got a Browning Auto5 that shoots ok, but since I mainly shoot giant Canada geese, I was thinking of going to a 10 guage

Another Q...

I'd like to sight my AR to 100yds without a scope, is that the optimal range?

Man, you can spend lots of money on a fancy AR with all sorts of stuff that you will never notice make a real difference in the performance of the gun (like a light weight BCG). But, if I had money to burn I'd probably just get a LaRue 5.56 AR. They go for around $2k.

Perfect range.

Depends on the application.


If it is for super accuracy at long range, I would go Les Bauer.


If it's for "Holy Shit, we're being invaded!", DD or Bravo Company would be a good selection.

I'd really like to get a Daniel Defense MK18.


https://danieldefense.com/media/cata...18_fde_l_1.jpg



But I could live with something from Knight's Armament or LaRue Tactical

Have me a Daniel Defense AR. Bought it a month before prices went crazy back in 2012. Bought it for $1200 or so. During the scare, prices were around $2500 for it.

I have shot around 60 rounds out of it.

A few months ago, I found out about an online gun classified website called Midwest Gun Trader.

I've had good experiences with it so far, buying one gun, and selling two. And I plan on selling a few more in the next couple weeks.

Munson bumped the guns thread after the loss last night......LMAO

How are ammo prices these days?

Are they making .22LR again and is it cheap again?

I seen CCI mini mags on Wallmarts ammo shelf for the first time in eight years ladt week.Didn't look at the price.

They never quit making them and you could always get them but prices are sill nuts unless you can find some kind of a sale. I stocked up on everything a long time ago so I rarely check ammo prices these days.

Some places have lowered their ammo prices to near pre-panic levels. You just gotta know where to look.

But 22 is still hard to find for a decent price. Consider yourself lucky if you find any 22 for less than 5 or 6 cents per round.

It had to be done.

My first thought was that someone needed a gun to, you know.....:D

I bought a St Louis Hawkens . goona have the brass patch case that's imbedded in the butt stock engraved with.
Hatchet Jack Kelly...:D

I stockpile too but you want to restock any time prices dip. I was just checking. Sounds like not a good time to restock. Then again, ammo prices may never go back down. You just don't know. I should stock up some more just in case they ban lead bullets nationwide and prices leap.

Just picked up a Ruger Single Six .22LR revolver from Cabela's. I've been wanting one of these for years. According to the serial number, it was made in late 1960.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...af7667e06b.jpg

I didn't know that Cabelas sold old arms.


Oh, Munson, it's funnier if you bump the guns thread right after a Chiefs meltdown. We all want to kill something at that point.

Cabela's sells lots of used guns, but most of them are overpriced. The Ruger I bought happened to be listed at a fair price.


And believe me......if the Chiefs embarrass themselves again, I'll bump this mother****er! LMAO

Well, the Chiefs disappointed me.....



...but my newly acquired Single Six did not! :thumb:


Took it to the range earlier in the day and it performed beautifully. It might be the most fun I've had with a .22 in a long time. Gotta love those single action revolvers.

Welcome to the 21 century.

Russian military upgrades to AK-12… and you can, too.

http://bearingarms.com/wp-content/up...nology_002.jpg

The Russian military hasn’t had a significant assault rifle upgrade since the AK-74, but that is about to change with the adoption of the AK-12, which is entering service in 2014:

Various modifications of a new Kalashnikov AK-12 assault rifle as well as a host of other small arms will be put in service with the Russian armed forces in 2014, a senior government official said.

“In 2014, the Russian army will start receiving new assault rifles, handguns, machine guns and sniper rifles, including 5.45-mm and 7.62-mm variants of the Kalashnikov AK-12 assault rifle,” Deputy Chairman of the Military-Industrial Commission, Oleg Bochkarev, said in an interview with Echo Moskvy radio on Monday.

Development of the AK-12 began in mid-2011. The new weapon retains the overall layout and features of the AK-74, in service with the Russian army since the 1970s, but features several modifications and ergonomic changes.

The new assault rifle has being developed as a basic platform for nearly 20 different modifications of the weapon.

The rifle features three firing modes: single shot, three-shot burst and automatic fire. The muzzle of the AK-12 has been designed to shoot foreign-standard barrel-mounted grenades.

The word on the AK-12 is that it is a “old-new” design, taken the proven principles behind the older AK-patterns and incorporating features common to more modern western assault rifles.

It will be interesting to see if the Russian military AK-12 standardizes the use of the quad-stack 60-round “coffin” magazine, or if they’ll keep using the tens of millions of standard 30-round magazines as their first-line magazines.

AK12-Stock

Interestingly enough, The Firearms Blog is reporting that Izhmash may be exporting a semi-automatic civilian version of the AK-12 to the United States this year, so there is a chance you might get your hands on the civilian version of the latest Russian AK before the Russian military does.

I bet the pieces of shit in Washington are going to try and block the import of this rifle.


Oh, and the SCAR should be in deep trouble since this will be chamber in 5.56 and .308.

Glad someone bumped this.

The ex needs a cc piece for when she is visiting her clients in the hood. She had my gun in the glove box one night and it saved her ass.

Could you gun nerds give me a couple recommendations for a small purse carry gun? Open to .380,9, and .40. Needs to be small and dependable (some .380s have a rep for jamming all the time). Not looking for the cheapest deal around.

How strong are her hands?

My wife has weak hands (joke there somewhere), and couldn't rack the slide on a Ruger LC9 very well.

We ended up getting her a Sig P238. The slide on it works like butter, and it's a really nice gun.

If she can handle a 9mm, I would step up to the P239.

http://sigsauer.com/upFiles/catalog/...D-NI-LARGE.jpg

all those rifles look scary.
probably would be a lot safer without the pistol grip.

I would go at least up to a 9 if she can handle the recoil..I prefer the 45 but that's just me..40 is really good as well..have her go to a range and try shooting all calibers..after she picks a caliber she likes have her shoot different styles of pistols in that caliber..I know I love my Springfield XDs

I have a carry in each those so I can choose to match my gun and holster depending on my boot color

I tried to make that sound as gay as possible

I try to match caliber to my penis size.


Unfortunately, I can't fit 210mm into a holster. /CP

my dad bought my step mom a Sig .380; can't remember the model. (damnit).

It might be the same pistol notorious posted in the .380 version. looks very similar.
it was odd; my old man or step mom have never owned a gun, but went out and got this for her, went to a safety course and CC course, and have already been to the range like 4 times in 2 months. She's like "wow.....shooting is fun".

lol. welcome to the club.

Bought my sister a Colt Mustang Pocketlite in .380 auto 20 to 25 years ago. She loves it and carries it everywhere. She'll wear out the 10 ring all day long with it.

I will always and forever recommend the Bersa BP9CC. Tiny 9mm with a full grip, 21oz dry, and comes with two magazines.

FANTASTIC WEAPON!

Someone broke in to Bob Dole's truck and stole his .40. What is the consensus on the best .40 for CC?

http://www.springfield-armory.com/pr...ompact-40-cal/

That's my CCW and can't say enough good things about it as far as reliability, feel, accuracy and overall functionality. Get some good Winchester Ranger SXT or Corbon hollow point ammo and you can't do a whole lot better IMHO.

Can't go wrong with Springfield.

I have a .45 XDS and love it to death.

Is there any particular firearm well suited to San Francisco and/or east coast varmint?

Asking for a friend.

Nuclear Bomb.

From orbit?

It's the only way to be sure.

That is where Bob Dole was leaning.

Thanks.

She can handle up to a .40.

She's not really allowed to carry while working so it has to be on the smaller side.

LMAO

She can shoot anything really. I have a .45 Ruger (think it is the LCP, it's a small .45), a .40 S&W Sigma series, and a Ruger 9mm (the full size one). She's much more accurate with the larger calibers than the smaller ones.

Made me laugh
