Firearm BS thread

As a means of fighting back, Hornady and I believe Magpul (not sure if any others) are now restricting sales to state agencies in states that limit 2A freedoms to their residents. It is a bad thing for LEOs, but they are making a very strong point.

I'm not sure this action is strong enough to battle the financial industry.

Either way, I fear the situation will get much worse before it gets any better.

 

Yes, this is happening as well and this will be the new norm in the future .....

Beretta pulled out of Maryland for the taxes that was placed on them killing about 2200 jobs and millions in tax revenue....

 

I recently bought a gift card for a Project Appleseed event next year and I am in need of a .22 rifle. My henry .22 is a no go due to the tube mag so it would need to be a box mag setup.

10/22 or 795?

Anyone been to one of these Appleseed event?

 

There are several companies that will not sell to LEOs because of their states restrictions. I think it’s a great move.

 

10/22 would be my personal choice

https://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/ is a good site if you are not already on there

 

Early xmas present to myself, picked this up last week. Fits in my laptop case.

 

If you've got a decent rifle already it may be cheaper to just buy enough ammo for it. They usually don't limit you to a .22

 

Back in February I purchased 3 GEMTECH cans from my local FFL. Purchased the cans through the “guardian program” (basically half off for Veterans), trust, tax stamps, a stripped lower for my SBR, and my SBR tax stamp

My SBR paperwork and everything is done and submitted, just waiting on that now

The cans on the other hand, well not so much. S&W bough GEMTECH last year or sometime close, the cans still havent shipped from GEMTECH... I can’t submit any of the paperwork to start my 8-12 month wait because I do not have the serial numbers for the cans, and I won’t have that info until they come in (if they ever freaking do) I’m just frustrated
I can go and get my money back for the cans and just go with another company and hope I don’t have to wait a whole year for those to come in before my actual “wait time” starts...

I went with GEMTECH because the reviews were good, the shop owners run them, and I was able to buy all 3 at once through this veteran program. But man this is BS

 

I had a friend go through the same experience with them last year. The can itself only took about 6 months to show up at the shop but he ordered a handful of muzzle devices at the same time and it took almost 16 months for him to get those. And in the end they weren't even able to get him what he ordered, they had ended up sending him all muzzle brakes instead of a mix of brakes and flash hiders like he had ordered because they didn't have the flash hiders available. I believe at the time the brakes were more expensive so he was ok with the trade off but still seems like poor service.

I personally plan to go with Dead Air when I finally decide to drop the coin on a couple cans, the owners used to be the main designers for SilencerCo and left to start their own business. I have heard many good things about their products.

 

That’s another reason I chose GEMTECH, my local has all of the QD muzzles and attachments in stock.
But 10 months later and I (my LGS) still doesn’t even have my cans

By the time or if they ever do show up, I’ll be at 24 months waiting for them

 

Have you called them?

 

Yes, they said that I should have an "order number" from my LGS. But that number is between my LGS and GEMTECH, and since I ordered through that veteran program, I don't have that sadly

 

What does your LGS say? Are they offering any assistance?

 

Yes they are, I've done a lot of business with them, they're at the mercy of GEMTECH as well. Im not the only customer who's waiting on GEMTECH either.

 

Signed up for my concealed carry class today... for the second time around

In August of this year went to check on when it expired so i could renew.. come to find out it expired in May. Im so irritated I have to go through the process all over again..

Itll be a good weekend with a gun show tomorrow and the CC class on Sunday.

 

Well this is interesting.
I ordered 2 holsters from Safariland, both 6390RDS, one for my M&P and one for my Glock.
Received the M&P holster today (ordered a few hours later than the Glock holster, 4 week wait for those wondering) and the holster is marked for a Sig P320, packaging marked for the M&P. And my Glock fits in it (just like it fits in the non-RDS 6360).

Comparison pic of the 6360 and 6390



PS, if you have dogs you likely don’t need a knife to open packages....

 

Just installed Mag Guts +1 springs in a factory shield 9mm 7 round mag and a factory 8 round mag. Now carry 8+1 and 9

 

Most light bearing holsters use the light for primary retention IIRC.

 

This holster has retention with or without the light attached, the retention device is on the forward side of the holster (top of the firearm) and locks into the ejection port of the pistol.
