It has a 3" barrel but I have been carrying a Colt King Cobra. It has a great trigger and is very accurate.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/remington-firearms-gunmaker-moving-hq-georgia Remington Firearms, the country’s oldest gun manufacturer, will be moving its headquarters from Ilion, New York, to Georgia, the company announced Monday. As part of the deal, the company said it would invest $100 million in the operation and hire 856 people over a five-year period in Troup County. It was not immediately clear what effect the transfer would have on Remington's operations in New York and Tennessee. The company owns the parts of the former Remington Outdoor Co. which makes rifles, shotguns, and some handguns after the former parent auctioned its assets in pieces last year during a bankruptcy proceeding in Alabama. Investors doing business as the Roundhill Group purchased the Remington-branded gun-making business, including operations in Ilion, New York, and Lenoir City, Tennessee, for $13 million. Remington began making flintlock rifles in 1816. It swelled into a firearms conglomerate, but faced slumping sales, complaints about quality, and legal pressure over the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre, in which 26 people – including 20 children – were killed. The company’s move comes as other gun makers have been ditching the northeast amid growing hostility there and moving to more politically welcoming states. "We are very excited to come to Georgia, a state that not only welcomes business but enthusiastically supports and welcomes companies in the firearms industry," Remington CEO Ken D'Arcy said in a statement. "Everyone involved in this process has shown how important business is to the state and how welcoming they are to all business, including the firearms industry." Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has welcomed the move, saying the state’s firearms industry "is responsible for thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of investment in our communities." "I am a proud owner of some of Remington's first-class product, and now, I am excited to welcome them to their new home in the Peach State," the Republican governor said in a statement. Scott Malone, the economic development director for the city of LaGrange, said Remington has already secured at least one building in the city, and will operate from a combination of new and renovated facilities. He said local governments would offer property tax abatements, plus utility and infrastructure improvements. Phil Smith, a spokesperson for the United Mine Workers of America, which represents some workers at a factory in Ilion, said the union had no information about whether workers in New York would be affected. The new owners recently restarted operations there, calling back more than 200 workers who had been laid off. The local government in New York offered 10 years of tax breaks in exchange for the restart and upgrades.

https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/local/gun-raffle-memory-fallen-officer-by-memphis-police-association-gets-mixed-reviews/G6CMFFXKJ5G5XCET5X3REHBHDE/ November 03, 2021 at 8:50 pm CDT By FOX13Memphis.com News Staff MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A gun raffle in memory of an officer who died in the line of duty is getting mixed reviews from the public. The Memphis Police Association is auctioning off one of more than 20 semi-automatic weapons in the memory of Scotty Triplett, a Memphis Police Department officer who died in May in a crash. Triplett was on his motorcycle escorting a group of nearly 200 riders known as Sligshot of Memphis when the crash happened. Now, the Memphis Police Association is holding a raffle in order to donate the proceeds to Triplett’s family. Tickets can be purchased for $10, or five tickets for $40, at 638 Jefferson Ave. or by contacting 901-523-7075. On December 3, one winner will be drawn and have the option to pick one of the following Glock Pistols (Models: G17, Gen5, G19, G19 Gen5, G23, G23 Gen5, G26 Gen3, G26 Gen5, G27, G27 Gen5, G31, G31 Gen4, G32, G32 Gen4, G33, G44 Gen4, G37, G37 Gen4, G38, G39, G42, G43, G43X, G44, G45 or G48), according to the Memphis Police Association. The fact that another gun is being put on the street, however, during a year where Memphis is once again on pace to break its homicide record, causes concern for some citizens like Dee Dee Brown. Brown said that the cause is admirable, but thinks there could be a better way to support the fallen officer’s family. “What the (heck) you going to raffle a gun for?” Brown said. “Why you want to raffle a gun so somebody can get killed with it? He’s already a fallen officer. They need to give him some money, some trust funds, stuff like that. Pay for his funeral and stuff.” The gun raffle will come less than a month after the Memphis Police Department holds an event to try and get guns off the street. Groceries or Gas for Guns takes place Nov. 13 and MPD will be handing out $50 or $100 Kroger gift cards to people who trade in unwanted handguns or assault rifles. The Glock, however, is known to be a very safe gun and could remain so if in the hands of someone trained in gun safety. Jonathan Cross with Tactical Training Centers said whoever does walk away with the new Glock should know these three things. “Treat every gun as if it’s loaded,” Cross said. “Number 2 never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy. The third rule of firearm safety is to keep your fingers straight and off the trigger until the sights are on target.” FOX13 reached out to the Memphis Police Association to talk about the gun raffle, but they declined.

The company said the decision stemmed from “legislation recently proposed in Mass. that, if enacted, would prohibit the company from manufacturing certain firearms in the state.” Those products, Smith said, made up more than 60 percent of the company’s revenue last year. The move will relocate 750 jobs to Maryville, Tennessee, a location picked in part because of “support for the 2nd Amendment,” cost of living for employees, and access to higher education institutions. “The strong support we have received from the State of Tennessee and the entire leadership of Blount County throughout this process, combined with the quality of life, outdoor lifestyle, and low cost of living in the Greater Knoxville area has left no doubt that Tennessee is the ideal location for Smith & Wesson’s new headquarters,” Smith said. As part of the move and consolidation, Smith & Wesson said it would close its facilities in Connecticut and Missouri. The company said the move will begin in 2023 and “not have an impact on employees’ jobs until then.”

Paul Rose is in my district and he has signed.

We will find out for sure after September 20.

I just left FedEx where I ship all of my handguns that I sell out of state. I let the clerk read the information that is on this post. As far as she knows there have not been any policy changes in shipping of firearms. As long as you ship to a valid FFL it is OK. She said that she normally gets emails or information on any changes on shipping, but has has not received any information on the September 20 change. She also checked in her system to see if she could find any information. She could not find any information in her FedEx system on this change. I’m gonna keep checking on this and if I get any other further information I’ll let you know.

I just saw this. Great news.
