While I have not had this particular Raptor. I have owned a FS, and shot several others. Great pistols! And those grips are very aggressive! Wrap your hands around them and just hang on when you shoot this little pocket cannon!
Won't give the obvious if I could...I would bs, just saying that this is a great pistol at a fair price. I paid this for mine when it first came out.
The buyer ot this piece will be getting a great one!
I have a Raptor and the first thing you do is take off those grips and stow them in a safe place. They are expensive to replace. Then put on whatever floats your boat like VZ or similar.

I have had my Hellcat for over a year now, it replaced a G19 for EDC.
I originally intended to buy the P365 but wanted to compare both. Either one is a solid option but definitely check both out. I went with the Hellcat for a couple of very minor details - I liked the sights better, and the mag release position.
On the P365, the mag release was in an awkward position for me.
The Hellcat is a bit snappy depending on ammo but very controllable. Not really any different than shooting a G43 or Shield IMO.
Reliability wise - I believe I had one fail to feed in the first 100 rounds and never another problem. That's across multiple bullet profiles and multiple magazines.
I'm an HK guy so finger position for the mag on some other guns are hard to reach. I love the HK mag release concepts.
On the P365, you can reverse the safety to the other side because it's just that much easier, for me a least. I hit it with my right index finger, (like my HK mag release), and the new mag is already there to get swapped out.
Getting arthritis in my hands, having options is a good thing. -

Problems? Never had any with mine. I always carry my P365 and runs fine. Fun to mod too.

Hmmmm, "Perfect" - "Strangers"..... I had no idea they were perfect.
Sounds like something Jeff Foxworthy would say.... lol

I paid $46K for my current '19 model. I put $10K into it already and waiting to get a lift kit, new wheels and tires. I turned it into a Raptor for a lot less than a genuine one. Raptors aint cheap these days...Few more toys.... I'm not the only one who rips things apart when they get them. Try going on the various truck forums and check out their bad boys....

Are you going to beat up a $50K truck out on the trails?
Yup.... I'm not one of these people who buy lux trucks just to go grocery shopping...

In today’s dollars both are in the $1,200 range. In other words you payed a lot for them back then.
Wasn't a lot to me. Bought 3 Colts at the same time. If you were working hard, it was a good price to pay for quality. In fact, I got those prices because I bought 3 Colts at the same time. Prices of a lot of guns today are high priced and people will complain. If it's inflation, that's fine. But it's not uncommon for someone to pay $1000-$1500 plus for something of quality. Hell, I have about $10G tied up in 2 Nighthawks... Also, supply and demand play big factors. They use to say, Obama is/was a great gun salesman. Seems all libtards qualify for that now, lol. Now with Covid, manufacturers can't keep up with weapons or ammo.
Here is an article from another forum that I'll quote here courtesy: OP, Ditrina
"I was thumbing through some really old magazines, and found the March 1978 Shooting Times with a cover story on the Colt Python..
Prices shown are adjusted for inflation.. http://smith-wessonforum.com/images/smilies/eek.gifhttp://smith-wessonforum.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
The list prices from Colt were
6 inch blue $349.00 = $1,329.26 Today
6 inch nickel $369.00 = $1,405.44 Today
4 inch blue $344.00 = $1,310.22 Today
4 inch nickel $364.00 = $1,386.39 Today
2 1/2 inch blue $339.00 = $1,291.18 Today"- 1

If 2020 Pythons are going for $500 over MSRP why not cough up another $500-$1500 for a an original one?
I’ll never understand the Colt obsession. Yes, the new ones are nice but those old Royal blue Pythons are beautiful but even brand new they were overpriced....like everything else with the Colt name on it.
Over priced? I had both new 6"Blue, $275 and a 4" Nickel, $250 in 1977-8.

This educational video has a lot of interesting conceal carry methods that I simply was not aware of. And the fact that I'm old enough to be her Dad.... mind you, my mind was strictly disciplined to the enlightening information of the equipment available to females who are of this particular physical build. On the fence about showing my wife this..... Apparently, this girl has a huge following on youtube. A very bright gal for sure.

I wouldn’t give up anything that allows more Tennessee residents to carry. I don’t care what another state does… I can’t.
I agree. But people need to be very aware. There are so many LE, especially in other states that may not know or even care.
Best thing I do is use the USCCA Ap when I travel and activate notifications when I cross lines with my gun. Pretty handy. It uses your Phone gps. Also gives you all the states agreements and such. No need to make mistakes these days. Have to stay on your toes. -

A lot?? I don’t think so. That was brought up a lot, but I haven’t yet see it happen; although it could. If people want to travel they need to go to the class, and get the HCP.
The only changes I’ve remember seeing posted here where when some state (or maybe two?) changed their reciprocity with Tennessee when our HCP allowed under 21 to carry.
Thats my point. But here:
Based on our preliminary review of the new statute and ongoing discussions with the Department of Safety, here’s our summary of the main differences between the two permits:
- Enhanced permit holders can carry either open or concealed; Concealed permit holders must always cover up the gun.
- Concealed permit is easier to obtain (less training required, online training allowed, lower application fee).
- There’s no lifetime permit with the Concealed option (lifetime permits are Enhanced only).
- Public college employees with Enhanced permits can carry in parks with students present, unless there’s an athletic event. Concealed permit holders cannot carry anywhere near school-related events.
- Reciprocity agreements with other states might be disrupted with the Concealed permit, though we don’t know for sure yet. Reciprocity for Enhanced permits is expected to stay the same.
For more details, resources, links, and contact information, please continue reading below, see the information posted on the TN Department of Safety’s website, or email the Department of Safety’s Handgun Office or call (615) 251-8590.

According to Cunningham's Law, if I am wrong, I will soon find out the right answer, but I don't see any substantial difference between the two types of permits other than open carry and the 8-hour training requirement. In fact, I would love to be wrong about the campus carry part, and if so, I would need to research how the reciprocity from Georgia is (i.e, which type of TN permit does my Georgia Weapons Carry License equate).
Correct me if I'm wrong but a lot of states will not grant reciprocity.... big plus having that. Be damned if I can find a link mentioning it.

I know a few Tennesseans who have expressed interest in carrying but haven't gone any further. Most of these people would be served well enough by the "non-enhanced" Concealed Carry Handgun Permit due to lower cost and no desire to open carry. In my opinion, when reading the difference between the two types on the gov webpage, I wouldn't be surprised if a large number of new gun people would go the concealed only route. The webpage doesn't really have much of a sales pitch for the Enhanced Permit.
Does anyone have recommendations or experience with any of the online courses, especially as to usefulness for new carriers? On the permit webpage, there is a list, but it would nice to narrow down the choices.
More to it not to just care about open carry. There are more differences than that.

That's great but wtf not the wife?

One of the biggest and the media does it, hollywood does it, etc.
The word "No" seems to have adopted an 'a' after it. So it sounds like Noah is getting ready to load the Ark

Prayers for sure. I've been in pain in right hip since 10/24/20 and am currently going through testing. Very painful. Hope ya'll do well.

Post some photos. Flitz is also an option but not knowing if you have polished flats, satin finish or brushed finish, there is not correct answer. Everything mentioned is a solution. Just not sure of yours. More info needed number 5.... ')

I tend not to have duplicates of any of my rifles. BUT, I do have one for every occasion plus occasions I haven't thought of yet..
They are safe queens for the most part because I just can't get out to the ranges as much. Tend to use handguns more but now just hording ammo.- I can reach out and touch someone.
- I can reach out and touch someone even further
- A master key for just those occasions
- Close quarter battle
- Lever action when I feel like playing cowboys and Indians
- Clearing rooms
- Self defense
....etc.
