If suppressors were taken off the NFA every reputable company would be back ordered for the next 3-5 years.

This isn't true. Suppressors are one of the easiest things to manufacture. And it's something that would scale rapidly.

If they were no longer NFA / 4473 items the same way optics or other accessories were there would be faster times to get production up and running, in addition to imports from overseas. At that point you could also legally just make one yourself with a, ahem, "fule filter".

Ever since the wait times dropped to a few days all the good shit is out of stock. Been that way already for like 2 years.

maybe not i just looked at silencer central and they have a lot more in stock than last time I checked.

The P10 platform does just about what Glock does but at a considerably lower pricepoint.

Speaking of Glock, I want them to announce Gen 6 already. If the patents are to be believed, it'll have a modular grip system and, perhaps, a modular dust cover for different slide lengths. That being said, Ruger beat them to the punch with the RXM. Fantastic platform.

The P10F CR is a legitimate steal for what you get. Wanna say I paid around $600 for mine and I don't know if anything else at that price can touch it. I just wish I could get one without all the gold crap on it.
 
Does anyone know what the gun is above Brugger's head from 0:14 onward is? Because it looks like an integrally suppressed semi auto pistol and as far as I know B&T has never showed one of those off

a modified USW (universal service weapon). i have a machinepistol version of it, although the later A1 version is significantly improved, the one in the video is an early model of the original USW. the USW was also available as a striker-fired pistol known as the USW-P prior to being popularized as a conversion kit (USW-SF is a striker-fired USW, for those that wanted the USW but didn't want a hammer-fired version for whatever reason). the USW-G is a conversion kit for the Glock and come in different frame sizes, there's one for the P320 as well.

I for one am not dropping hundreds of dollars on an item a company started manufacturing last week.

I initially thought it was a chopped up VP-9 or something but now I can barely just make out the little scallop texture on the right side of the grip indicating it is definitely a B&T mark-II derivative
I was also initially confused because I couldn't see a hammer spur because I falsely remembered the B&T Mark-II (which would as you said serves as the basis for the original USW) had a way bigger hammer than it actually does.

Couple of factors
If I don't have a pile of ammo for it already I'm automatically less inclined to buy it. Simple as that.
If its a gun over $500 I am definitely not impulse buying it.
If its something goofy that's going to cost an additional $500 to actually be usable I am probably going to pump the brakes (R.I.P. FrankenAR-57, my beloved)

You are totally right about just using what you got to develop your base skills more. There are fiddly specific things that you can only train when using a specific gun but we aren't HIGH SPEED OOPERATORS that need to worry about that kind of stuff. Whenever I get the itch and something is in my cart I think about how much ammo I could buy for half of that instead and how much range time that would allow me and in that context I can resist.

There are a couple things on my wishlist that I will be getting soon™ because they're cool and that's the only reason but they aren't impulses they're more of obsessions.
 
Question I hope isn't too dumb:

What's the upside to buying a gun on GunBroker? I want a Remington 870 and GunBroker has a few for less than 300 bucks, while the two I found in my local gun stores are 500+. Aside from saving myself a few hundred bucks (and getting the wood stock I want instead of polymer), why shouldn't I buy off GunBroker?

Can't speak for anyone else so this is a sample size of one, but I haven't had any issues with over a dozen or so transactions. As long as you're buying from established sellers, it's pretty straightforward.

If the guy has a good rating you shouldn't really have any issues, I've never had issues buying. I'd just double check the payment method, I hate money order only ones so I try to avoid that unless its rare or I 100% need it. If they take card you might get charged a 3% fee but I doubt that on top of taxes and shipping will bring it up to what your LGS charges. Selling is an entirely different story and I'm sure one of us can rant about it all day.

Do the math first tho. Gunbroker has one for 300 bucks but how much is shipping and insurance? Are they charging any additional fees? What is your FFL fee?

If all of that adds up to $475 then are you really saving money by time/travel/ffl/etc when you can just go buy one at the store for $500? You can also just make them an offer as well.

That said, I bought my last 870 with all the fudd wood furniture on it for something like $400.

Rare stuff that you can't find anywhere else. Anything common is likely cheaper at real stores, both online and physical.
 
I still regret cancelling my order on a 590 retrograde 20" with the bayonet lug. it was a deal but talked myself out of it post order.
