Santa came early, and he's all like "FUAC!"

[Justincase]

View attachment 22809 So Christmas came a few days early, but Santa was non-compliant. He brought my new bad boy, but it's missing something. Can you see what and why? I'm actually a bit ticked off at the Big Guy. Was hoping to take this to the range this weekend.

Congrats! No magazines?

Good eye. It came with them, but they weren't NY friendly.

Figured as much. I just got a crazy good deal on a Beretta 92fs from @Rescuestuff but it only came with 15 round mags so I had to buy some 10 rounders. The price was significantly lower than if I bought the same firearm with 10 round mags, Beretta was running a sale.

 

[GuyMontag]

Justincase, you buy the NY mags before the gun arrives.

Congrats on the new pickup, looks nice.

How's the lockup and overall fit seem at first glance?

It was supposed to have two ten round mags, but they sent the wrong gun. Says 10 round on the invoice, but it's a 15 round model.

I haven't messed with it much as I'm not sure if I'm going to have to send it back or not. I'm hoping all I have to do is swap mags, but century arms is closed until Tuesday. I can tell you that the trigger is exceptional, and the fit and finish seems to be on par with my German guns.

You should contact them and have them send you the 10 round mags for free if it said it came with them.

Nice gun. Same here my Q5 Match came with 3 15 round mags, FFL said they had to ship with none and he had to purchase 2 10 rounders, NY blows.

Buds is going to hopefully take care of it. The 15 rounders are at my FFL. He told me to take the gun, but leave the mags. When i called and told them they sent a gun to N.Y.with 15 round mags, they actually said that that's never happened before, lol. I said I'll make sure and went to the FFL and loaded em up with fifteen rounds each just to make sure there wasn't a block or pin in them that we couldn't see.

 

[NYGuns]

I'm just glad it came with that sticker, just in case you didn't know which end the bullets fly out.

Isn't that a riot? Lol

I heard they are great guns. Have fun.

Heard the same thing. I'll do a range report when I get a chance to shoot it.

 

[Shoots100]

Nice pistol.
As long as the FFL your using will let you convert your Banned mags to 10 rd'ers, you can have the banned mags sent to the FFL with the pistol.
FFL's are allowed to posses banned magazines.
I use magblocks and epoxy them into the mags with 5 min epoxy right at the shop in front of the FFL.
The only drawback is that you can't take the mags apart to clean them, but I've been shooting/ competing with neutered 19rd mags in my CZ P-09 for awhile and have had no issues. Same with my neutered glock mags. Flush them out every couple thousand rounds and their good to go.

 

[GOYABEAN]

congrats @Justincase sweet and you need a

 

[Camaro45th]

So I bought 2 15 rounders pinned to 10 rounds for my VP9. Whoever pinned them , i wanna smack them in the head because they put the pin so GD high that it’s almost impossible to get the 10th round in there. I wish I could remove the pins and have them redone.

There's no reason to convert them since Canik actually makes ten rounders. The 15's are sitting at the FFL. If I remember correctly, Buds won't even ship banned mags to your FFL with the intention of pinning them. I might be thinking of Palmetto state tho. I'd rather have the tens so I can properly clean them when needed. Just need to be patient.

 

[Podmonkey]

Noice! So jelly I am!

 

[Justincase]

Well, it turns out Santa was more like FUJI (fu just incase) and not FUAC, since Century Arms seems to be a stand up company and shuts down operations from Christmas to New Years. They probably get paid even. Another one of those union perks. Fuckers. I'm being facetious about the union thing, but I am kinda ticked that this thing is sitting here like an expensive paper weight.

To top it off, my father in law is staying with us and I can't go to pick up and register my new acquisition. He wouldn't care, but he'd definitely tell the wife...and that would be no Bueno. Damn third world problems.

 

[Justincase]

FUJI! Definitely FUJI!

Got a call from Buds today and they said the gun was erroneously listed as a ten rounder. No ten rounders available for this gun yet according to Century. Dammit!! So, I can send it back which is fine, but I forgot to mention to them the $20 transfer fee I already paid. They better reimburse me or give me credit for that. I so wanted to have that thing. Guess the Gen 5 Glock 19 may be in the cards. IF they have one with ten rounds that is.

Those are for the TP9, this is the TP9SF Elite. It's a compact version, so they won't fit. Thanks though

 

[BuffNiag]

Why not go with something more common? You can practically guy Glock mags at the corner store.

 

[Target]

But then you have a ....ICK... Glock.

I want a Canik TP9SFX ...

Now that's HOT!

 

[Justincase]

Eventually, but one good reason is that the Gen 5 Glock 19 is almost twice as much money, and doesn't have as nice of a trigger. Of course, I'd have a gun with magazines in it but let's not dwell on that.

We don't actually go shooting...too cold and dirty outside.
We just buy stuff, look at stuff, talk about stuff, rack the slides, .....

There are a guy or two, on my paintball sites that have a dozen markers and are always modifying / upgrading/ changing things but haven't played in years.
Its part of the hobby.

Same thing when I did RC cars. They'd show up with their pit box, lay out their cars, chargers, batteries, tires etc but never actually made it into a heat.
They had more fun with the social aspect of the game.

That's totally part of it, but I'd like to have lots of different iterations of guns from different manufacturers. Of course, some will be redundant, but they're a different take on the same thing which is neat, but they're almost all good investments. It's not like my wife buying ten million stupid purses that all end up in boxes or being donated.

 

[Shoots100]

I have one glock. I still have it, but never bought another.
Got it in the late 80's before everyone had to have one.
Found 10rd'ers here ;
GUNmagwarehouse. com $29.99 apc
E bay $33 apc
Where there's a will, there's a way.
Tombstone Tactical will ship Hi cap mags to NY state.
So what's better, fondling your Canik, or actually shooting it with Epoxied Mags ?

There's lots of places that have ten rounders for the various other TP9 models, but it's my understanding that they don't fit. Buds is sending me two mags for the TP9SA to see if they'll work, but when the company tells you they don't make ten rounders for the Elite, I'm a bit sceptical that these will work. If I had to spend $60 - $80 on magazines for the gun, it would no longer be such a great value, so that's not a viable option. Plus, I'll be damned if I'm going to pay more for less because of the bullshit 'law' from fucking monkey face.

 

[Shoots100]

From what I've read up on the matter, the TP9 mags will fit, but there will be a gap between the top of the mag base and magwell.
However, they do make some type of spacer to take up the space, or a new mag base.
The places I listed had the Model of your pistol in the description for what models the magazines would fit, but I don't know if they'll fit.
I also found out that with a little modification to the retention hole location, a magazine from a berretta 92 would also work in a pinch.
It sucks that we have to modify our pistols to appease the A hole monkey faced dictator, but that's the price we pay for living in the great sanctuary state of NY !!!
Imagine how boring life would be, if we didn't have to jump through flaming hoops like a gas soaked poodle ????
