And that is why Suffolk PD issued a letter saying that the shockwave wasn't a shotgun and was therefore legal. By every letter of the law, this is legal. Because NY doesn't define a pistol(thereby falling back to federal defition), and the NY definition of "firearm" says it must be a...
I remember when I went to register a cap and ball pistol with the local pistol bureau. They looked at me like I had 3 heads and gently tried to talk me out of it. I knew the sad state of affairs and they did it. I had to call the online website that I got it from though twice, as the pistol...
Yeah, at least at the time of me writing this, there's no mention of an L5 in .50 on Magnum Research's website. Only the L6 model which comes in at 55oz.
I just picked up one in .44 Magnum the other day. I've also got the .357 magnum one. I've watched probably 100 reviews of Desert Eagles and the majority of them conclude that the .44 is the best one. The 50 is too much, especially when you're dropping the weight from the high 70 ounce range to...
Most of the people I know that registered are the ones going to competitions regularly. When cops are often the ones showing up to these things, you don't want to always be looking over your shoulder. I guess there's a lot of upstaters here, but re-registering every five years has been standard...
I've got the Coonan in 357 as well. Particularly for the hotter loads, the DE has WAY less felt recoil with all its muzzle porting and thicker grip. The magazine also holds 2 more rounds than the Coonan's 7 rounds.
Gotcha. The only upside is that if you already own these off list pistols outside of CA, you can sell to someone there or if you move there you can bring them as long as they're not AWs.
Quoting from that page about micro stamping now being a requirement for a “safe” gun:
Due to a law that became effective January 1, 2010, new models of semiautomatic pistols sold in California are required to have microstamping technology integrated into the pistol design, or the handgun will...
It’s because they require micro stamping now which no gun company is going to do. The list gets smaller every year because of this. There’s at least one big lawsuit going on for this currently.
I know 50AE sounds cool and all, but the 44 still gives crazy amount of bang while still being comfortable to shoot. 50AE crosses into novelty territory with the amount of recoil it generates.
Well, for 460 magnum (.452 caliber) which is a fast and flat shooting round considering it's large diameter, its drop at 200-250 yards is around 5 inches. Many people with good eyes and low blood pressure can pull off an accurate shot at that distance. I know I couldn't, so for me, an optic...
For some reason Midway never showed me those Speer JHP bullets when searching for 452 rounds. Those are significantly cheaper than the Hornady bullets I've been using. 30% cheaper if you step down from 500 diameter to 452 though. :) I was using the Hornady XTP Mag bullets in 460 because they're...
i had a 500 magnum and eventually sold it to get into a 460 magnum instead. It's a bit easier on the recoil but more importantly, it uses ver common .452 bullets which are used in many calibers so reloading it is FAR cheaper than 500 magnum. i also picked up the 454/45 Colt Alaskan. With hot rod...
Former Zero Hedge writer Colin Lokey said that he was pressured to frame issues in a way he felt was "disingenuous," summarizing its political stances as "Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry=dunce. Vladimir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft."...
Sigh. I know someone who personally had their license suspended over this. Direct knowledge. Please stop giving people bad advice. It's highly irresponsible and you know it. Lobby your politician, make phone calls, send letters. This is the way we fight the system. Going on about how "carrying...
You guys can argue "shall not be infringed" all day long, but if you're caught carrying out of class, and the cop notifies the licensing bureau, you will have your license revoked and you will have to turn over your handguns. This has happened many, MANY times both in news articles and...
You’re posting articles that are written based off other articles that have an author named “Tyler Durden” ala fight club. Is the next article you’re going to post going to talk about “Bat boy” and the farm mom that says her husband was abducted by aliens? With all the talks of fake news....
What matters the most is that all of this is before Heller. I know that SCOTUS isn't willing to enforce that ruling at this time, but if a case ever reaches them, they're going to spike this type of thing like a volleyball.
It looks like a stock, it functions as a stock. The only reason all these companies are putting it on there is because they know their customers will use it as a stock. The purpose of the NFA of 1934 was to prevent nefarious people from being able to conceal short rifles and shotguns. This "not...
Look, we know that the ATF has said it's not, but it is. Everyone knows it is and everyone uses it as one. With what's happening with the bump stock bans, I can't help but see this brace thing going in the same direction eventually.
It's my understanding that the judge(s) said that loading 7 in a 10 round magazine was unconstitutional, not that 7 round magazines were bad. The 7 round magazine was increased back to 10 rounds when Cuomo/legislature basically saw that it would outlaw almost all handguns which wasn't their...
Yeah in the case of a DIAS, that module (which doesn't require the third pin to be drilled for it to work) is the registered machine gun. These are probably the most sought after as they'll turn any new AR into a full auto if you have the rest of the parts.
Having those parts don't make your gun capable of full auto unless you've got a lower with the auto sear pin hole. Having that third hole is what makes the lower a machine gun as far as the ATF is concerned. That said, there's a lot of people who have registered full auto lowers, so buying these...
The ones I've been to, the tables are filled with newly made Nazi stuff. This isn't stuff from back then, this is a Zippo lighter made in China with a swastika on it. A 2 second search of the internet shows endless forum threads of people with the same concerns, seeing the same stuff. Do I care...
This is not a museum, this is some old racist at a table hoping to indoctrinate a new generation. Who wants to own Hitler memorabilia at this point in time? I don’t mean books or informational stuff, but giant nazi flags that you can hang up in your home. Who wants this vile stuff so much that...
Independent of the gun aspect of it, I’ve been to a few gun shows and the Nazi stuff bugged me too. Who leaves their house and thinks, ya know what, I want a giant Nazi flag and a hitter youth knife. Why is this a good thing that was allowed to keep going on at our shows? Why didn’t the patrons...
The experts can say all day that austistic kids aren’t violent. Welp, we’ve now at least 2 autistic mass murderers. I had an autistic kid over a while back with a friend of my wife’s. In a matter of fact way, the kid told me how he was envisioning squeezing the life out of my cat. Anyone keeping...
The upside of the Coonan is that you don't have to worry about light grain .357 projectiles in it unlike a revolver. 110gr pills like from Hornady are great through it. With a revolver you always have to worry about top strap fire cutting. All of this said, I ended up with a NY compliant Desert...
Yeah, the recommended loads are Magtech 125 grain FMJs which are awesome to shoot, big flash etc, but I can't go more than 5 or 6 shots before it hurting. I swapped out the spring for the 38 special +P spring and was able to shoot more mild (but still rather hot) rounds and the gun became fun...
SCOTUS has officially abandoned us and they've sent a very clear message to lower court judges that they can do anything they want. It's only going to get worse from here.
Damn, I wish saw this thread earlier, I'd have sold you mine for a deal. I like it and it's reliable with full powered ammo, but shooting the good high flash H110 powder loaded rounds hurts my wrists. Anything that will cycle the 357 powered springs reliably will cause pain for me. In hindsight...
That's my point. Wouldn't the state police follow state law? Nowhere in state law does it mention restricted carry licenses. There's been a court case where the judge said "I'll allow it" but there's nothing in state law that says the state police could do that.
I'd think it would actually go the other way. Only local counties do that garbage like Nassau and Suffolk. I think we'd have a better chance of finally getting rid of that if it was a uniform standard for everyone. As for the judges, having the state police handle it all would eliminate the...
I think all of this make the obvious case that the state police should handle all licenses, for every county outside of NYC. Everyone gets the same license and goes through the same process no matter where you live. It would probably be far easier to solidify funding as well.
How ironic that he did this 2 years before the SAFE Act:
