  1. All I got to say is now is the time to buy and stock up because if Trump loses 4 years from now, sure enough the next Democrat president residing over a Democrat majority congress will ban everything Obama and Clinton wanted, and probably more.

    So relax, buy in celebration, but don't wait until the next round of panic buying after a ban threat where prices have shot up 2x to 3x over MSRP. 

    I'm going to keep hoarding mags, guns and ammo every chance I get. :cheers:

    I don't want to be caught behind another assault weapons ban like the Bill Clinton era ban.

    Agree with looking at the FN 45's also!

    I took a very long hard look at the FN FNX-45 Tactical before I ultimately bought a Gen4 Glock 21.  For me it simply boiled down to cost.  The FNX-45 Tactical is about $1,000 which is easily 1911 territory.  The Glock 21 Gen 4, even with a threaded barrel, was just slightly more than half that.

     

    You probably already knew this, but just in case you didn't...

    The non-Tactical version is $699 and still has 3 15rd mags.

    See here: http://grabagun.com/fnh-usa-fnx-45-usg-blk-45acp-15-1-sfty.html

    I love the tacticool version, but if I were going to carry it, I'd get the FNX non-tactical version. 

    That said, I love my Gen 4 G21. :pleased:

    Due to litigation threats from SF, we will wait for our Patent to issue before release.

    Thanks for the update.

    Now can you comment on the BATFE ruling on the grip?

    Any plans to dispute it in court?

    So what's the story?

    It reads like, if you have to use two hands to bumpfire a pistol (less than 26 inches OAL) with the JT bumpfire grip, the BATFE says it is an AOW and you need to file a Form 1 with $5 for your tax stamp.

    That really blows my mind because I fire lots of pistols with two hands. That is really a stretch of the interpretation of the law IMHO.

    BATFE is getting way too far in to telling us HOW we can shoot our guns now, such as shouldering a Sig Pistol Stabilizing Brace and this JT bumpfire grip.

    no I didn't...

    I sure don't get the AOW statue for it, I sure wouldn't want to FA fire a AR15 pistol single handed...lol

    I like its design thou

    It sounds like if I even bumpfire a pistol without any JT Grip (it is possible to do), that because it takes two hands, they would consider my AR/AK pistol an AOW.  :shake: 

  6. Did you see this?

    DISCLAIMER

    According to the BATF, installing the JT Grip on a pistol under 26 inches will create an AOW which is illegal without proper Form 1 paperwork, and $5 tax stamp. To legally install the JT Grip on an AR 15 or AK 47 “pistol”, the overall length needs to be greater than 26 inches.

    Your device works in the following manner:

    "To bump fire an AR/AK rifle or pistol with this device you simply put your finger on the left extension rest on the plastic/polymer slide grip and pull forward on the rifle or pistol hand guard with 1-3 pounds more pressure than the weight of the trigger on the rifle. Review of the submitted device indicates that if, as a shot is fired, an intermediate amount of pressure is applied to the handguard with the support hand, and the receiver assembly will recoil rearward far enough to allow the trigger to mechanically reset. Continued intermediate pressure applied to the handguard will then push the receiver assembly forward until the trigger re-contacts the shooter's stationary firing hand finger, allowing a subsequent shot to be fired. In this manner, the shooter pulls the receiver assembly forward to fire each shot, each shot being fired by a single function of the trigger. To fire single shots you have designed a locking button into the grip that when pushed into position, the grip will only function as a standard grip."

    Your bump fire grip device consists of the following:

    One plastic/polymer center piece that is molded to fit an AR type receiver pistol grip attachment point and has holes for the selector detent spring and pistol grip screw. There is a 12 X 28 inch machine screw for the attachment of the moveable pistol grip. Further, there is a left grip panel and a right grip panel. The left grip panel has the extension to allow the trigger finger to rest upon during bump firing (see attached photo).

    The above statues define "handgun" and "pistol" respectively to include "a firearm which has a short stock and is designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand .... ", and " ... a weapon originally designed, made, and intended to fire a projectile (bullet) from one or more barrels when held in one hand". We must caution you if your "Bump Fire Grip Device" is installed on an AR-15 type pistol, the resulting firearm would no longer be designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand and as such would no longer meet the definition of a "handgun" or "pistol". The left hand would be required to make the pistol grip bump fire device function instead of being used a support hand. If such a firearm had an overall length less than 26 inches; the result would be a firearm regulated by the NFA, specifically such firearm would be an "Any Other Weapon".

    In summary, your "Bump Fire Grip Device" in and of itself, would not be subject to regulation under federal law. However, if your "Bump Fire Grip Device" were to be installed on or possessed in conjunction with a compatible AR-15 type pistol, the resulting firearm or combination could be classified as an Any Other Weapon (AOW) under the NFA. Should an individual wish to manufacture an NFA firearm upon receipt of an approved ATF Fonn 1 (5320.1), it would be required to be marked in accordance with Title 26, U.S.C., Chapter 53, section 5842. Finally, the installation of your "Bump Fire Grip Device" on or possession with an AR-15 type rifle would not be a violation of Federal law similarly to the "Slide Fire Device" AR-15 rifle stock.

     

     

     

  7. Well, guess I won't know until I get out and test fire these rounds.

    But the Five-seveN is a pretty tight gun and the factory FNH and Federal cases are coated to help with extraction.

    So my fear is, with a tight chamber and the cruddy buildup of Moly, that these might not cycle well and the bullets being caked up might cause more chamber pressure.

    I've got my fingers crossed they are good rounds because they have been tested (clean rounds) by many YouTube reviewers in crono velocity tests, level IIIa body armor tests and wound cavity tests, for which S4M performed very good. In fact, they out-performed all the FNH and Federal factory loads available. I assume that's because FNH and Federal are under-loading these rounds to keep them from being AP out of the Five-seveN pistol. 

    I've got some T6B coming, too. Three boxes actually.
