That’s ultimately up to each individual to decide and it’s not black or white. If you got arrested and convicted for felony assault and it was a prejudicial bullshit charge, I could understand the desire to get a gun after the fact as it is your right. But the people who commit serious violent...

I’m not talking about the many unconstitutional gun laws or their inefficacy. I’m speaking to the practical aspect of it. I do not believe that people who are violent and lack self control should have guns. To clarify, no one should have to pass a dubious mental health check to buy a gun, or...

I think a large part of it is that the system is setup to facilitate these scenarios. There have been more and more pointless laws passed, usually in a reactionary way, and there are many more police, some of which feel obligated to enforce these laws. Furthermore there’s this “us versus them”...

I also have some Chip Power Mags. The ten rounders look goofy but work great. Also have a Wilson Combat 8 round mag, which has been solid but not worth $40 imo.

Yes it is. Feel free to PM.

Over the years I’ve met some very nice people who weren‘t dangerous but were criminals, and real pieces of shit that were dangerous but had never been arrested. I understand that there has to be overarching laws that broadly categorize things. There are too many people and too much is happening...

Eh these videos are so tacky. Of course the cops are going to jack them up. My personal strategy, moving forward, is to live in a place where there are as few cops as possible. Telling some dude on an ego trip that he can’t have your ID is never going to end well.

I think it’s important to be realistic. Many of us pay taxes. Most of that money doesn’t go to things we directly want or need. Getting bent out of shape because of a religious symbol, on a lawn, that you paid one one trillionth of a penny towards, is probably not worth it. Going after fraud...

So I took out the LCP II to see if it was fixed. Shot 100 rounds of Blazer 95gr FMJ and 50 rounds of Fiocchi 90gr JHP. Had 2 failures with the Fiocchi where the empty shell would eject but the slide would not fully close on the next round, requiring a little push to get it into battery. Had 1...

What sucks is without going fixed mag or featureless there aren’t many semi auto center fire rifles you can own in NY. Neither option is ideal for me, though thordsen gen 3s are functionally the same as a pistol gripped AR.

I didn’t call it law, rather asked when it was going into law (i.e. when the bill was becoming law). I assumed it was imminent. Now about that rundown...

Ruger has such great CS that if there are more problems I’ll keep calling it in until they give me a whole new gun. Just bought another couple thousand rounds of .380 ball and JHP in anticipation, and I‘m already 800-900 in on this gun.

I get what you’re saying. However I think the distinction is, in the unlikely chance that you needed a firearm for self defense, there are some that are the “best“ option and some that aren‘t. I consider my long guns with attached lights, and my full size pistols and revolvers (again, usually...

Just got mine back from the second warranty service. They said they replaced the barrel but the slide is very loose now and jiggles from left to right, so I’m wondering if larger barrel tolerance is allowing play in the slide. Haven’t had a chance to see if the FTE issue is fixed but I’m...

So when’s this supposedly going into law, and what exactly are the new requirements? Formatting is showing up really weird and making it difficult to read.

I’m in Rochester now but I frequently go to Geneseo and Buffalo.

Lowering price to $400.

I’m pretty stoked about this. Forend is pretty short but looks like built in MLOK slots maybe? Also seems like adjustable cheek risers like they have on their other stocks. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/01/21/shot-2020-d-50-pc-9-backpacker-and-other-new-products-from-magpul/

Referring to Ruby Ridge and Waco I‘m assuming? I don’t condone his actions, but McVeigh (an ardent 2A supporter) definitely “responded” when they crossed that line. He would have been labeled a domestic terrorist no matter what, but he isn’t seen as a pro 2A, anti tyrant freedom fighter...

The Japanese have essentially no access to firearms, but, they also have a very homogeneous culture (hell, they don’t like Americans trying to become citizens, much less immigrants from third world nations). Because of this there is a deeper sense of kinship, and you also don’t have Chicago...

To this day I still shoot striker fired polymer guns worse than SA or DA/SA regardless of pistol size. I have the usual low and left accuracy problem that right handed shooters get even when I’m precise. I find Glocks to be the hardest to shoot, with the 43 being extra difficult for me. What...

Maybe someone has already suggested this but you should try shooting as many of the pistols you’re considering as possible. That’s really the only way you’re going to get a feel for what you like. Everyone has an opinion and a lot of the gun community, like any other hobby, is a circle jerk...

It’s not that black and white though. If you pass a NICS for a lower but then put a 12” upper and adjustable stock on it then by definition you aren’t complying and are breaking federal and NY state law. Conversely, you can’t go 20 over the speed limit and get pulled over and say “yeah but I was...

I'm referring more to those who didn't comply with the initial registration. I understand where you're coming from but that's part of the problem with the nature of these laws. They target gun owners with specific, small infringements at first to stratify us. For example, NICS checks are going...

IDK I feel like NY didn't comply. I mean, look at the "assault rifle" registration percentages. I met a dude the other day who told me he registered his M1A, but he's the ONLY person I've met at a shooting range to admit to registering, and that anecdote fits the official narrative (wasn't the...

For sale is a low round count (~300) Glock 43 night sight model. It comes with 4 OEM magazines (1 pinky extension, 3 flush), a Raven Concealment VanGuard 2 minimalist holster, case, paperwork, lock, cleaning rod and magazine loader. The gun is in great condition; there is a light surface scratch...

Posting this here in addition to GB. I have a CZ 2075 RAMI BD with night sights for sale, ever so lightly used (maybe 200 rounds total). It comes with 3 10 round magazines, custom G10 grips, and an AIWB holster. I'm asking $530 for all of the above which includes $20 cost to have my FFL transfer...

I watch that ASP guy from time to time, and while his analysis has some merit, at the end of the day, church security or not, people can’t be on 100% of the time, so discussing draw to fire time seems more theoretical than applicable. No one is going to be at high alert ready to draw all the...

I agree. Probably the biggest training issue with the LCP II is dealing with the recoil and accurate follow up shots. 22 will not help with that. Also the forward push safety is not my cup of tea.

Yeah sending it back is the cheap, smart answer. Part of me just wants a kahr, and also my confidence has been severely shaken in the LCP II. It’s a great gun in terms of form factor and I have a bunch of mags and a few holsters for it. I guess I’m just wondering what they can really do for it...

Well seems I might be selling. This is the only gun, out of dozens that ever has issues. And it’s every mag just about.

What weight Fiocchi? I’m not sure why it’d matter but they do make a 95gr and mine has been exclusively 90.

To briefly recap the issues I’ve had with my LCP II: -failure to return to battery with trigger losing all tension (have to hit back of slide to make it shootable) -failure to feed -failure to eject I sent the gun back to Ruger and they replaced trigger hinge assembly and I believe the entire...

You can get a scorpion in NY now (the rifle at least) if you don’t mind using a thordsen stock.

You’re not wrong. I miss the country but sadly I had to move up here. All my hobbies (shooting, motorcycles, dirt bikes, fishing) are harder to do but I do get to experience all the cultural diversity of the city of Rochester, so there’s that.

I think most people have an asshole neighbor at least in close proximity. I became a homeowner a few years back and at first this 50 something lady across the street seemed very social and welcoming and stopped by to talk frequently. Well in about two months’ time I was asked by her to 1. turn...

The whole fight for the 2A is a bit of a sticky wicket. If you fight violently it’s just going to “prove” that 2A supporters are violent and guns are bad. If you don’t fight violently, they’re just going to keep pushing legislation. I’m not really sure what the answer is but I hope they get a...

Alright thanks for putting my fears to rest.

I feel retarded asking this but I just got a new gun a few weeks ago, FN 509. I haven’t had a chance to shoot it but handling it the other night I noticed that the trigger, which has a safety hinge, sort of like M&P Shield, can easily be moved forward when the gun is uncocked. To be more...

Despite there being much better options for .22 pistols, they will sell a lot I'm sure. Whenever I ask people who are getting or just got their permit what their first pistol will be, the response is always "uhhhh probably a glock?" Glock definitely has that household name selling power. I mean...

You’re right in that most people probably aren’t willing to kill and/or die for their gun rights. Most people aren’t going to be willing to kill state employees even if they could get away with it because killing is something most of us normal people don’t want to do. States like NY or...

I was just illustrating the difference, for me personally, between situations you expect to be ID’d, checked, bothered etc. (like shopping at many Walmarts) and situations where you don’t expect it. I couldn’t think of any other examples outside of that where someone gave me shit for no reason...

I moved back to Monroe or I’d help you out. There’s a club near Mt. Morris that does a modified three gun, you could try joining or one in Springwater (you need to know someone to get in, but their pistol competitions Spring to Fall are open to anyone).

I had the same issue (except moved to Livingston from Monroe), but I just asked people I knew who I thought were pro 2A or at least neutral. They weren’t necessarily friends, more like knew in passing, but it worked out fine, only 1 of 4 said no, and I had endless references to fill that one...

I guess I’ve never really thought it was a great inconvenience or some kind of principle issue. I only get pissed when I get jacked up unexpectedly. For example, I once had two cops in the same week pull me over, first because he thought my light was out and second stop because he thought my...

I feel compelled to shoot irons in NY because I just can't get a quick and repeatable cheek weld with a lot of the optics and rifle combos. For hunting/long range rifles I'll use a scope, but for rifles like the SCR, Saiga or Mini I'll only use irons. I'm not a great shot with irons but then...

TFB Review: The New and Refreshed Ruger PC9 Chassis Model If you were thinking about buying one of those $$$ chassis systems, looks like it might be cheaper to buy the whole kit from Ruger. Appears there are ban state "compliant" models, but even they are too scary for NY.

Honestly, I think it's like any hobby. People like to make it out as if they are better than they are or need the "best" tool. I can think of hundreds of non gun examples. "That laptop processor isn't fast enough for graphic designing (aka watching Netflix)" "That car 0-60 is only 4 seconds and...

It’s been a few months since I’ve shot so I decided to take my new Wrangler, P365 and LCP II out. I’m not a pistol marksman by any means, but here’s what I got at around 10 yards followed by some thoughts: The Wrangler is my first single action “cowboy” gun and it was difficult to get my...

It’s scary to me how some people (usually drunk, but sober ones too) aren’t afraid of having a gun put in their face. It shows how delusional and detached they are. Personally I think that showing your intent (i.e. brandishing) via lifting shirt, assuming stance is a good potential...
