Sig apparently has a new P365 variant in the works and it is presumably releasing soon because Lena Miculek is posting about it on Instagram. It is called the P365X Macro and it has a 17 round flush fit capacity, standard integrated slide porting like that seen on the P365XL Spectre Comp and an accessory rail in addition to an optics cut. According to the source I learned of the gun from (a skeezy looking Alaskan linked below) the gun will use P320 mags which leads me to believe that Sig has found a way to keep the frame slim when doing so because if not this gun already exists in the form of the P320 Spectre Comp.

FAVORITE RIMFIRE?

I have a Savage .17hmr with a .17hmr BDC scope, harris bipod. I call it the squirrel smasher.
Second pick is a pistol braced .22LR 7" AR-15 CMMG .22LR conversion kit, Folding stock with an knockoff aimpoint micro.

Hard to pick a favorite, but if pressed, I'd probably say my Savage B22 FV-SR. I've got a Vortex DBT 4-16 on it and the thing is just a flat out tack driver with Federal Match. The only game I've taken with it was a dragonfly that was parked on top of my target stand, however.

I used to have a 93 BVSS in .17 HMR, but it was a pain to clean and having to fiddle-fuck with the magazines to keep them from vomiting their contents up out of the action when I cycled the bolt made me sell it on.

As for others, it's a tossup between my heavily accessorized Mk IV and my 10/22s - one is a takedown in that Magpul Backpacker stock while the other is sitting in a white CBRPS bullpup stock that looks like a scout rifle from Destiny.

@Club Sandwich you do know he's bait posting, right?

Even if he is completely sincere, and he isn't, he won't be convinced by any argument today. If he is serious, then he is here to come down to the hicks in flyover country and enlighten us via Socratic Questioning and many, many words so as to bring us lost sheep back into the fold.

"Debate Me Bro" types like this don't have their minds changed by the debate.

He tried to draw me into one of those bad faith debates on my profile as well. They don't understand to leave well enough alone, always have to try to flaunt that fraudulent moral superiority over people they feel are lesser.

which doesn't really work with his angle since if he would like to keep the super dangerous semi automatic rifle out of the public's hands and give the state a more perfect monopoly on violence, i'm sure that the state (the same fine state that gave us Uvalde) will happily accept more power over the general public who will have even less ability to defend themselves from criminals or tyranny. even if you believe how far fetched that scenario is, taking away even the possibility is a miserable "freedom" from fear for the sake of safety.

i hope he is never in a position of needing but not having a particular weapon for self defense. i've been to too many scenes where bodies aren't really morally different from each other when you put them under a sheet.
 
Sig is manufacturing their own NGSW Magazines, The Army has not officially adopted them so far but it would not surprise me if it does plus seeing as how Sig has been just racking up contracts it is almost a given.
I do however expect them to be heavy and or expensive.

Soon Soldiers will be carrying 7 Steel magazines at I dunno .75 lbs a piece in addition to 140 rounds weighing in at 9.8lbs that they will use to feed their 13lb rifles. Remember a H&K Steel 5.56 AR mag weighs .54lbs unloaded so scale that up to a .308 sized magazine and VA disability claims go up another three points.

Combine this with the almost certainty that 6.8 can't pierce Level IV armor without tungsten and the XM5 is approaching L85 territory

Avoid Turkish stuff (yes, this includes CZ shotguns).

On the Turkish Shotgun front, I have heard there is a lot of variance in quality depending on which of their factories makes the gun. This would be fine, but the factories don't sell direct, they go through a whole range of importers and front-end companies. So unless you are willing to try to trace guns back to their original manufacturer, it is usually better to just go with a reputable firearm brand that owns their own factories. e.g, Mossberg, Benelli, etc.

Make sure you have a padded shooting jacket, or something along those lines for her. Full-powered wood-stocked rifles tend to be a bit painful for new shooters.

For sure I'm bringing a few goodies along but I hope she thinks it's cool to see a homeland rifle.

I'm NOT bringing grandpa's 1911 tho "lol this probably yeeted your granddaddy" wouldn't be very polite.

As someone who doesn't even really enjoy shooting .22, my Henry lever action is one of my favorite range guns by far. That thing is pure joy condensed into 5 lbs of wood and steel.

After I get my 10/22 Stainless carbine, it'll be lever gun time

Mossberg SA-20 is a GREAT semi auto 20 guage.... And it's made by Canik, a large Turkish gun maker.

If it's made be Canik and has something called "competent QC" you're set.

opinions on over under shotguns

Beretta, Browning, CZ, Franchi, Winchester, Syren (FABARM), Caesar Guerini, Benelli (Beretta), Remington, FABARM, Perazzi, Kreighoff, and Mossberg are all quality manufacturers and all have sport lines that vary significantly. a used Remington 1100 Competition is flexible reliable, relatively straightforward to maintain and repair, has a lot of aftermarket parts available, and has a low price ceiling. Mossberg 930 Pro as well.

if you're smaller framed or a woman, both Mossberg and Remington can be fitted by any competent outfitter with bantam furniture. Syren's L4S is distinctly made for women and may be an overall better fit for throw, length, and controls. others will vary on preference, desired detailing and features. competitive shooting greatly benefits from a properly fitted long arm to the shooter.
 
A guy who had a DIY gun hobby was arrested in Japan. (EDIT: thought this was more recent lol, turns out it's from 2015)

Note the mini anvils with chunks hacked off. Most likely a source of steel "plate".

To be fair, there was another DIY gun enthusiast arrested in Japan recently :^)

the National Firearms Act targeted handguns originally. it was also found (if you read the arguments surrounding it's passage) that weapons of war were Constitutionally protected, so a short barrel shotgun could be restricted by the Act but the handgun or rifle could not. the NFA also regulated explosives, but their use in crime was also incredibly rare.

after the Act, up until the 60's you could file by mail and receive your firearm, including a Machine Gun, directly to your door typically 3 to 6 weeks (since it was the mail afterall). By 1968 this was curtailed and you had you buy your MG at the dealer up until 1986. there has been three (3) incidents of a crime with a registered NFA weapon, one of which was by a police officer.

legal MGs simply aren't a thing used in crime, and illegal MGs are extremely rare to the point of single digits. possession of an illegal MG is more common than actual shooting incidents with one.

Some illegal MGs are used in crimes, but they're almost all glocks with switches shipped in from China and deposited into your local hoodrat's arsenal. That involves China and the pet minorities so it isn't a big subject in national gun control. Like mass shootings they obfuscate things by swapping inner-city gangs/"youths" with regular, predominately white, gun owners.
