Moped

Very true! And I like what you said about them being an “ independent R&D skunkworks for the industry.”

Trades?

One of my all time favorite pistols is a Keltec. The P32 is a fine little pocket pistol. I also had a PF-9 that was a literal pain to shoot I’m truly mean PAINFUL! It was too light to be a 9mm.

Man, loved my FNS9. But when I started reading that it was having issues, I moved it for a Glock 45 Gen 5 and never looked back.

Might be very popular in unfriendly 2A states, with magazine bans. I have to admit, it’s very intriguing. I could see me buying one, to try out the 5.7 round. Would be a cheap way to do it.

I suspect the coffin on the SIG 320/ M17/18 is about to be nailed shut. They’ll be bringing back the Beretta M9s from war reserve status, probably very soon.

No worries. I think we all feel the same disappointment in the Republican Majority in DC and in. Nashville.

One hell of a deal!!!

Used to have a Mdl 13 that would do that. It’s end shake.

Way too much smoke for me to ever buy one, little alone carry one.

Personally, I’d move up to the Shield Plus. I fail to see a downside.

Just so you know Pop Pop, I’m immediately available for adoption, if you happen to be looking for another kid.

They didn’t reduce the tax on fully automatic weapons. Just suppressors and SBRs.

The tax on SBRs and suppressors will be reduced from $200 to $0, once sign by Trump and the effective date for the legislation arrives. However all the paperwork, fingerprinting, and wait while The ATF, does their thing, still remains in effect. That could take as long as 3 weeks or 18 months. And I’m hearing DOGE and the ATF are about to announce changes in the way they are doing things at ATF. That could be a good thing or a bad thing. Personally, I’d wait and see if the lawsuits filed by GOA, NRA, and other 2A alphabet groups are successful in fracturing the NFA before I would buy anything.

Best shooting Glock I own. It’s my Winter carry pistol. And yes, it’s a biggun!

The Taurus would be a good starter. I’ve owned one for 7 or 8 years. Not had any issues with it. But it’s not a pistol I carry. If you wanted to step up, a used police trade-in pistol might be the answer for just a little more money.

Try Numrich Gun Parts. Failing that, EBay.

You should try a Glock 21!

Looks like a K22 to me too, Leroy.

The Senate Republicans have, in at least two instances, ignored the Senate Parliamentarian and placed back into the BBB two pieces of legislation. One bans the Feds from paying for transgender reassignment and the other bans federal funded health car for illegal immigrants. But they can’t put the original language for the HPA and the SHORT Act in… I guess a reach around is all we get, since we get to save $200 per NFA item. Just make sure you register with the Federal Government or it’s 10 years in jail or a bullet.

You aren’t wrong. Our state Republican legislature leadership could give a rats a$$ about the 2nd Amendment. Honestly the Republicans nationwide treat 2A voters like the Democrats treat the African American voters. They talk a good game come election time, but never act when it counts. They KNOW come election time, they’ll get our votes. Until they don’t.

This is what I think, to be honest. At least a couple of of Suppressor company were caught trying to quash the HPA in the House Reconciliation bill. One of them happens to be in John Thune’s state. Wouldn’t be a bit surprised that a “ campaign donation” was made to him and others. I also won’t be surprised if Mrs. MacDonough is fired after this travesty is signed into legislation. That’s of course, it gets enough Republicans votes. The non-partisan CBO says it’s going to increase the national debt by 3.3 Trillion by the year 2035. Some budget hawks are not happy and the margin is razor thin. I will not cry if it doesn’t pass.

Great question!

I’ve called and emailed Senators Marsha Blackburn and Bill Haggerty and Tim Burchett. Basically saying this. Please pressure Senate Leader John Thune to remove Elizabeth MacDonough from her position of Senate Parliamentarian and restore the original wording for the SHORT Act and HPA to the Big Beautiful Bill. I have never been more disappointed in the RNC in my life! The RNC is in serious jeopardy of losing my vote in the coming midterms and possibly for good! I have also emailed John Thune basically saying the same thing and also posted the same thing on Twitter (X).

The number to call is 202-224-3121. The switchboard will switch to the Senator or Representative that you request. Tennessee Senators are Marsha Blackburn and Bill Haggerty. Tennessee Representatives are 1st district: Diana Harshbarger (R) (since 2021) 2nd district: Tim Burchett (R) (since 2019) 3rd district: Chuck Fleischmann (R) (since 2011) 4th district: Scott DesJarlais (R) (since 2011) 5th district: Andy Ogles (R) (since 2023) 6th district: John Rose (R) (since 2019) 7th district: Mark E. Green (R) (since 2019) 8th district: David Kustoff (R) (since 2017) 9th district: Steve Cohen (D) (since 2007) You can forget calling Cohen. He is our ENEMY. Kustoff isn’t a very good friend to us either.
