I think the staff comments are just add-ons. The beef with Uselton is his outspoken and deliberate advocacy against individual sales simply for the benefit of his own store. This came from his own mouth. It would be like a car dealer wanting to pass legislation to ban private car sales (but in a much lesser degree). I appreciate your willingness to face the music for your sooon to be father-in-law, but I doubt it will do much to change anyones opinion of him. He is the buisness and as long as you are equated with that buisness he represents you more than you represent yourself. I will never do buisness with Uselton Arms because of Rick and it will never matter how great a person you are. I'm sure there were some nice, down to earth beurocrats in the USSR communist party, but I would still fight them tooth and nail.

Seriously, I'd rate Gun City above Uselton especially after your two beneficial post. Proof is in the pudding.

Good stuff and yes is the same thing as the Black Talon. It was a politically incorrect mess with no real substance.

EFK, Jarvis, Barsto, and i'm sure a few others.

Of course it is opinion. Everything subjective is.

My brother-in-law and I have the same right hand/left eye issue. When he was going through the Academy he struggled at first. They switched him to a lefty and he set the top marks in the class in pistol and rifle. He later joined SWAT as their sniper/DM/Sharp Shooter/ whatever they are calling them now. He has since finished Marine Officer School and wherever he is now, he set the best marksman groups in the program. All this and he isn't really that much of a gun guy. He's somewhere in Quantico. I may have to switch to lefty!

I've had the same problems and found that certain guns fit me differently and some lessen my short comings while others accentuate my bad habits. Ideally I should be able to handle any firearm the same but I just don't. I chalk this up to the different ergonomics of firearms today. On both my XD's I had to work a little harder to keep from shooting low left. After experimenting with other firearms I found out the grip was so narrow on the XD's I was using poor trigger finger placement and then was breaking my wrist while I jerked the trigger. As much as I liked the XD's I switched platforms and my shooting got much better. Not a knock on the XD as it is my quirks and not the guns. The M&P, Walther P99, and Glock 19 all handle better for me and my quirks.

Umm, first part is statement of opinion, and second is just not true. Not that I realy have anything against it. Hmm, facts maybe? Sale of .270 says that it is one of the most popular hunting calibers on any continent (Africa included) and trajectory and PB numbers say that it is as flat shooting as any of the ones mentioned. In fact it has almost identical numbers to the .264 WinMag over almost all distances and better than the .30's. It also compares favorably to the 7mm with same rise over 200 yrds and a greater MPB (Maximum point blank) range.

A few questions: 1. Apart from the gun and attachment cost, a can is gonna run $400-$500 once you add in the ATF taxes? 2.What are the practical benefits of a silencer on something larger than .22 (say 6.8 SPC AR). 3. Are they legal for hunting or are they a range only type thing? Thanks

This is awesome! Now all I need is some unfortunate animal without 30 holes in it's hide to tan!
-
I'm just going to go with the .270. Best all round cartridge and as flat shooting as anything out there and can be loaded for varmint up to CPX3.

The ATF is the enforcement arm of the IRS. Most of their warrants are based on tax issues. . It just dawned on me why Dems and liberals don't mind higher taxes.... they just don't pay them!

Generally KT will make runs of only one model at a time, so there will be sporadic shortages of one model or another at regular intervals. For a while you won't be able to find the P3AT, then the PF9, and so on and so on. They will be back on the market in a few months. Good guns. I liked both of the ones I had. I would look for the HC model and if I couldn't find that one I would send it to Jack Fuselier and let him HC for $25.

So conforming to the American Gestapo is voluntary? The IRS is the most powerful unregulated entity in the United States. They have absolute power without any oversight.

Might want to do a search because theses were discussed in some detail when they first started being imported. That being said they are excellent (if not improved) AK variants. The only real downside may be parts availability as they don't take traditional AK parts.
-
there is some place in Montana that advertises in the gun rags that sells them. My try looking in the back section.
-
I don't like the ones linked. Seems like there is too much going on. Especially with that very small tip of the triangle. I had some Sure Sights for the XD when they first came out and they flat out work! They seem huge when sighting but aren't any bigger than other sights in comparison and bright doesn't even come close to describing them. They are however, very poorly supported at the moment and should cause some pause.

Tired of just griping about the so called "Stimulus" bill that is really a Democrat/Liberal payout spending bill? Sign the petition and learn some of the facts as well. http://nostimulus.com/

HaHa, that's great! Of course this will never be heard in the media and he will be decried as some marginal scientist at best. Do you have a link to the piece for reference?

Eric Holder confirmed as AG of the US

How? Maybe Che? -
Mehh, everyone here is always complaining about PC and then when someone articulates (very well I might add) the truth in a very straightforward and concise way - calls a spade a spade - the same people starting saying how much they don't like them. Give me Ann and Rush all day all the time!

The SW99's frame is made in Germany by Walther and the barrel and slide are made here as said before. There are some cosmetic differences between the two and I much prefer the P99. However, they are running around $700+ if you can find them. At that price point, as much as i like the P99 (my favorite HG of all time) I went with the M&P. The P99/SW99 are also very light. In .40 they will have a sharp recoil that the M&P will handle better.
-
Yeah, I gonna say M&P as well. For one you can change backstraps to fit here better and it is not near as blocky as the XDc. While i like the XD (have owned 2) the M&P would just look better on a woman.

Could this friend of a friend cousins relative not strip the parts and sell them while the receiver disappears back to the field? Just sayin.

Yep, I'm seriously considering OC like this!
