My non work EDC is a Springfield Echelon, and while im working, due to the nature of my work(being a little too mobile for an iwb) I pocket a bodyguard 2.0, and I adore the thing. I definitely don't feel unarmed with it. When you're just out and about yeah printing isn't an issue, but when you gotta mobile and do shit like heavy lifting, crawling, ladders etc it can become a problem, especially in a non friendly workplace.
The Bodyguard 2.0 is such a fantastic little firearm, and is definitely a great buy. Lots of modern 380 acp hollow points work well, unlike a decade ago, so you have carry ammo options, and I think 10+1 jogger floggers is good enough in any situation a civilian would find themselves in.

I'm sure people will celebrate this victory and not just start complaining about not the machine gun registry, or the GCA or that all ATF agents aren't going to be rounded up and executed.
If it actually happens, I promise to celebrate by buying a registry free SBR. Sound like a deal?
 
gentlemen, i have a 1998 USP .45 that has now reached:

28,150 .45 ACP
9,335 .45 ACP +P (specifically a mix of 185gr golden sabers and 200gr speer)
2,000 .45 Super (mix of 230 and 250 gr, not sure the exactly split but a lot of starline homebrew and winchester loads with like a box of buffalo bore thrown in)
100 rounds of .460 Rowland

original recoil spring, although i have a spare one. just started getting inconsistent ejection on my usual loads (.45 +p 200gr underwood JHP's) so new recoil spring time it is. after detail strip, other than being a bit dirty here and there, it's got a lot of life left in the bore and frame. photo is during the take down to illustrate wear a bit.

Do you know how autistic I sound when I sperg about the indestructibility of the USP and MK23? It's weird, but it's come up like 4 times in conversation the past two months.
 
Chinese plastic makes your dreams come true

(First 3d2a build; pp43xo frame, aves rails and locking block, slide/barrel cannibalized off my irl real glock and a nondescript parts kit i picked up at a gun show for 40 bucks...and a ryobi sticker i made all by myself)

Gonna go test it out at the end of the month at a range day/baby shower (not my idea, these people are deranged)

Now to go model a mag baseplate that looks like a ryobi battery
I have a 48 slide on that frame and its the fucking best. The normal 43X/48 frame is reasonably comfortable but the PP43X is unbeatable compared to everything I've ever held at a gun shop. Handled my first actual glocks last year, not clones, and holy fucking shit they suck to hold. The Dagger or a P80 may be more jank but they're just so much better to hold and shoot than a real Glock
 
or that all ATF agents aren't going to be rounded up and executed.
Eh, at this point I view ATF agents and lolcows with threads on this site the same way. They both are wasted lives that only serve to be pointed and laughed at/ridiculed. If this passes and I can have whatever barrel length/stabilizing device I want without filling out bullshit paper with a bullshit tax, I'll be very happy. If I can continue to mock people who work for the ATF at the same time, even better.

I need to get some .45 Super for my Mark 23. I know I could feed that damn thing an exclusive diet of Super and nothing else, and it'll happily do it and ask for more. IMHO the Mark 23 is THE finest combat handgun ever designed.

And it would figure that I finally apply for my first SBR and now it looks like they may be deregulated. I'm not complaining. I hope it happens.
 
I interpreted this to mean "10 gauge" on first reading, which would be a very impressive (and unpleasant) little device.

I'd love to see the Ithaca Roadblocker return to the market, though I know that'll never happen since there's virtually no demand for them. 10ga has all but gone the way of the Dodo bird due to modern shotshell design making 12ga nearly equal to 10ga.
 
So if I'm understanding the legalese correctly, they're removing the $200 tax, but keeping the registry? Or am I just retarded?
It gets treated as any other firearm. They're striking the registry and $200 tax and saying in the feds eyes ownership is the registry for sates that require fed registry. Should be just go buy it like other normal gun or make it yourself like you would other normal guns.
I am all in that the inclusion of striking sbs/sbrs is evidence it'll fail and they'll get to say they tried. I do hope I'm wrong and I hope they cut the sale of fed land from the bbb too, I don't want no chinaman to buy up muh woods.
 
Hey kiwi bros lots of crazy things going on in the world, anyways I've decided I'm going to pause new projects until I finish my current ones. Which parts kit should I finish first, Romy RPK with Mars SS trigger or SAR 80?

Out of curiosity, how can a worn recoil spring impede ejection? Does it create additional resistance, or conversely cause the slide to fly back so fast that the casing hasn't fully contracted inside the chamber, causing it to bind?

So the registry is staying, which makes this not much of a victory. I still doubt it will pass, but even if it does pass, it is still really not meaning much if you have to be put on the "raid this guy first" list to participate, not to mention the legal problems with registered arms and accessories. I suppose the only benefit is hoping that enough people begin buying SBRs that the list becomes functionally worthless due to the number of people on the registry.
