I mean I think it’s probably splitting hairs at that point. I’ve known one person who got off several pretty serious firearms violations who is now going to prison for another firearm violation, but only because the sheer amount of shit he’s done. A friend of a friend got away with no time for...

I almost bought one in a gun shop but it wasn’t in .380. So I’m gathering that the company has traded hands? Wonder if a NAA would be a better, albeit slightly bigger, bet.

I would be stoked if Ruger released or Magpul put out an adjustable comb stock. Both my 10/22 and Ruger American .22 have the comb system where you can just swap out the risers for scope vs. irons. That’s my only real complaint about the PCC, lack of a proper cheekweld with a micro red dots...

I preordered the funky looking bronze Wrangler. I’ve never owned a SA revolver and have wanted a .22 for a while but I can’t justify the cost of the Single Six because I have a feeling this is going to be a novelty for me. Considered the Rough Rider for a long time but I’ve had really good luck...

He probably shouldn’t have drawn, but I agree that carrying without a round chambered doesn’t make a ton of sense. When I started carrying I quickly realized behind the hip was very inconvenient for me, so I went to appendix. But with appendix carry you always hear about NDs or the gun “going...

Yeah I guess it depends on what you’re near. I think it cost like 50-75$ for cut and crown.

Yeah you absolutely have to flip it or it won’t work, which is the only caveat. Once flipped it works fine without any hiccups. I don’t think the KA release is better. I almost bought one but it seemed like it would make mag changes slow and clunky, just like the standard release does on the...

No problem, hope it helps. I actually found that info on the old forum. Some guy posted looking for an ambi release and then went and tried like $300 worth of ambi releases, and found out the upside down Troy was the only one that worked. Glad he did the footwork for the rest of us.

So it’s called the Troy Ambi Magazine Release. As you can see, if you get the optional bolt release from Ares/FightLite, they end up very close to each other but I think it can be trained around and it’s the only option for ambi release. To set it up you have to knock the tiny pin holding the...

If you’re worried about mag changes, there is an ambi mag release meant for ARs that you can install on the SCR. You have to install it upside down due to the way the SCR lower is shaped, which is kind of wonky, but it allows you to drop the mag without taking your hand (assuming you’re right...

Yeah it’s sad that a bunch of assholes have to ruin it for the people who really need help and for the taxpayers. I’d say send them to jail but we’d only pay for that too. What’s really staggering to me was the realization that people on full blown disability in NY get like ~800 cash, ~225...

I used to have this same hardline approach, so I understand where you’re coming from. As I got older however, I ended up inadvertently becoming deeply involved with people with some pretty serious health issues. Not the “my third baby daddy left and I need welfare to buy cigarettes” “health...

I did a cursory search on PA gun laws and the only thing I saw on the official pa.gov website was that to open carry or CC in Philly you had to have a license/permit. I just wasn’t sure if because of it being non resident it was less valid or something. That number will be helpful though. Thanks.

Not sure if this is the appropriate sub forum, but as title says, is it legal to conceal carry in Philly if you have a non resident permit? I’ll be heading there soon and normally carry through PA. I’m not sure if the non resident permit carries any weight in the city though, cause cities...

I love all guns, but as far as practicality I can fit my LCP II in my pocket with a nemesis holster and it looks like a small iPhone and I’ve got 7 rounds on tap. I had a real lemon of an LCP but I don’t think that’s common. In comparison my LCR 38 I wear appendix which is pretty painful...

Online is definitely the way to go. 95% of my purchases are online. I know it hurts the local gun stores, but I just can’t afford to pay hundreds more. It seems like new gun owners are a decent percentage of people who buy in stores. Just had a friend buy his first gun. They sold him a used 500...

People are fighting, just on an individual level. I’ve seen and talked to people at ranges both in the rural counties and in the cities with fully featured rifles and hand guns and standard cap mags. I’ve asked some of them if they are concerned with what would happen if a cop came up to them or...

I only have experience with the Shield 9 1.0 and now 2.0. Was thinking about the 45 with night sights and maybe even the ported barrel (have heard mixed reviews on that), but I’d want to shoot one first.

I’m not crazy about my model 66. Revolvers in general exist more as a novelty for me. Most of my pistols are subcompacts that I rotate for CCW. I’d go shield before messing around with Mossberg, just because it’s new and also doesn’t seem to really differentiate itself between the dozen other...

I’ve got a RAMI 2075 BD that I bought a CGW RRK for but I haven’t installed it yet. I’m not crazy about the RAMI but at some point I might get it done.

I haven’t had a drink in years, but I still don’t want to deal with someone shining a flashlight in my face and wasting my time at a check point; I’ve got shit to do and don’t get paid by the state to dick around. I think most people want to avoid cops not because they have “something to hide”...

Oh yeah it definitely looks pinned and welded. I don’t think they come that way from the factory though. The thread protector that came on mine wasn’t pinned but it was very, very tightly screwed on and couldn’t be removed by hand. I went the cut and crown route cause I wanted the shorter OAL of...

The C isn’t legal as is. Has a threaded barrel. Not hard to cut it down though. I still have to mess with mine. Had a FTE/jam in my first 60 rounds. Very possible it was related to the gas (I didn’t follow the instructions in the manual to set the gas). If the gun proves reliable I really think...

I bought one of your lowers two year ago I think? It was when you were still doing custom serials. It’s been flawless so far and definitely my favorite fixed mag route. I always appreciate anyone who is trying to innovate for anti 2A states.

I own one, got it a few years back. Out of all my guns, pistols or rifles, the LCP II was the only one that had major issues. I was told there was a “break in” period, like with the Kahr .380s, but I fired maybe 300-500 FMJ and HPs through it and it would have FTEs and very frequent FTF. Like...

I understand the appeal of trying to protect yourself legally; I do it myself, as much as possible. But I always find it interesting how concerned people get over every little technicality, endlessly ruminating over worst case scenarios. The bottom line is you’re carrying a handgun in NY for...

I went with the LCR in .38. The .38 is rated for +P, so you don’t need the .357 if that’s your concern. Revolvers aren’t my wheelhouse, but I don’t like shooting .38 through my .357 Model 66, mainly because cleaning it is a pain. As you know the chambers are longer so you get a lot of carbon...

The only issue I’ve had has been how I grip the pistol. The slide release is so close to my strong hand thumb that if I keep my thumb anywhere near the pistol slide, I end up interrupting the slide release and the slide won’t stay back on empty mag. I’ve been training to remedy that. That being...

I just moved back and I wouldn’t not want to be carrying in Rochester. One of the routes I frequently take goes by the Avenues and Hudson and just yesterday day I watched some giant dude screaming at two construction workers, body language suggesting on the verge of attacking them, for no...

For me it’s not an “if”. I can work from anywhere and have the money and no dependents. Bought a house to be close to family but I could sell as soon as 2 years if I wanted to take a little loss. I’ll likely be moving to NC to be with other family but really anywhere a little warmer and a lot...

I know this subject has been beaten to death and everyone has their opinion, but how are most the FFLs selling ARs these days? I’m seeing Ruger AR 556s going for about $550 right now so I feel compelled to get one. I’d be going the fixed mag route, as this would probably rarely, if ever, be...

OAL is sitting at just shy of 28”. I’ll be honest, only shot like 80 rounds through it. It’s surprisingly soft shooting and weighs about 7lbs but feels even lighter cause of how the weight is distributed. I had one FTE, where the case got lip got badly bent and jammed at the end of the...

I got one like 7 months ago for $999.99 from prepper gun shop. They had several black variants in stock but for some reason they weren’t aggregated on gundeals so nobody knew they existed. The RDB-C has a threaded barrel with a thread protector on it, so it’s not NY legal without some...

Here’s the quote from the email: “ We install barrels on the rifles here. You would have to ship the whole rifle in. We could give an estimate of pricing when you move prices and services can change at any time and there is no guarantee of pricing of less than 3 weeks from the time we receive...

I actually don’t have it in hand yet. I bought one of two that Kentucky gun store got in stock Monday. The Rami BD (decocker variant) is nearly impossible to find so when I got the email I had to jump on it. I have an SP01 Tactical with gold aluminum CZ grips and an inforce apl light. Shoots...

Good to know that the consensus is recoil should be fine without the brake. Just need to pull together some cash (just grabbed a CZ Rami BD yesterday) and I’ll put out the order. I like the FDE option but apparently Springfield doesn’t make the compliant version in that coloration, so I’ll end...

I know a place that’d do the transfer but I’m really not a fan of mag locks. All my guns are featureless. I’d only do a mag lock on a gun I couldn’t otherwise make featureless somehow. I probably will be here for at least another 5 years so when I’m out I can afford to rebarrel it or maybe they...

With the possibility of more impending legislation I’m thinking of moving up a couple of my purchases to now. I was considering finally getting the mini 14, but I’m leaning towards getting a semi 308. I’ve seen veprs and saigas and even a fixed mag scar, but the Springfield m1a is available ny...

Arguing about this is neurotic. 10+1 is fine. There are things that people here argue are in the “grey” legally, like the angle of rifle grips and whether Thordsen stocks are OK and what constitutes a thumb hole stock and so on forever and ever. This isn’t even close. There’s nothing wrong...

I got the “original” color off of amazon. It’s kind of a tritium greenish hue. I used a toothpick to apply it in as round a shape as I could. I did have to reapply because it somehow completely chipped off the rear left side, but it’s been good since. I’ll upload a picture when I get home tomorrow.

Oh yeah I agree it’s crazy expensive and a luxury purchase. I bought some “GLOW ON” Phosphorescent paint and did the rear and front sights and then covered it with clear nail polish. It isn’t great but works well enough to help differentiate your sights when aiming at a dark surface and stays on...

My LCP II was terrible when I first got it. Trigger failed to reset about two times a mag (had to hit the back of the slide to get it to reset). Also had lots of failures to eject, like one every two mags. I thought maybe it was a Kahr PW 380 style break in, but 300 rounds later, same issue...

When I first got my pistol permit I was buying a handgun every month or so for the first year, and ended up with all the modern, highly rated pistols and revolvers. I learned that, personally, I shoot a subcompact striker fired pistol (and even a pocket pistol like the LCP II) just as well as a...

Yeah, like I said, steep for me, considering I have a Saiga with the same wood I got for much cheaper. It’s a cool gun and I might still pick one up at some point (just got an RDB C so I have to issue some financial restraint). And it goes without saying that the act of creating anything for...
