I think one of the realizations you get as a husband and father is that no matter how based and cool your child or wife is, they do not have the same gun autism.

They may love to shoot, may love guns, may be decent at manual of arms, malfunction drills, dos and don'ts. But they will never have your level of autism.
You will always be the armorer for the home.
Cleaning and servicing all guns to make sure they work for her before I make my wife a hunting widow for a week, and I get to her EDC Beretta 84. She carries it every single day, bless her heart.
But this poor fucking thing. I swear I pulled out 40 pounds worth of little pieces of rubber band, dog hair, hair product shit. There was a random penny in the kydex from when it went in her purse. The gun still go bang, but my God.


That being said, my drunken genius idea of cutting some skateboard grip tape to stick to the side of the slide to make it easier to rack still working like a champ. Boys, you can buy a sheet of skateboard grip tape in 10 yards for like 10 bucks. You'll end up looking for reasons to stick it on a gun, trust me.

All of my family members who have had kids have gotten a custom gun made by me, for their kid. The crazy uncle will make them gun autists yet.

Also I have given my closest friends a unique (but not custom) gun for their kids. Most recently was an anti boyfriend double barrel.

I've got a ton of mags for my MWS308, and a decent stash for my Mk14. They're probably the guns I've shot the least simply because it's damn expensive to feed them being 7.62x51mm rifles.

It's doable with the .40 magazine as well and X-grip makes adapters as well giving you an extra round bump from the standard magazine.

You don't NEED the x-grip adaptors to run standard VP9 magazines, you can just let them hang out like a G17 mag in a G19, if you wanted to.

The VP9 and P30 magazines use magazine bodies based on the USPC, the only difference is the baseplate and the length to accomodate the two extra rounds (17/15 round mags).

Another thing you can do is use the 17 round conversion kit follower and base plate retainer to convert the USP-C mags to 15 rounds, which I did myself for my P2000.
 
Shalom kiwi crew the IWI Carmel came in and its ugly but i can fix it. The cat didnt like it either he usually lays on stuff he likes. He kinda just looked at it then left. I Intend to chop the barrel and swap out the handguard to its experimental version. I find that it's easier on the eyes.

Walther suspending PPK production for several years for redesign and new machinery.

I'm surprised it's economically viable to do that. I would expect the new PPK market is small; it's a toy, and not even a fun to shoot toy, but an obsolete (PaulHarrelobsoletedoesnotmeanineffective.gif) CC gun toy. FWIW if you disagree with me and haven't shot a .380 and .32 PPK hold your replies until you have, the .380s suck ass and the .32 is a lot better but frankly massive by modern .32 standards (single stack .32 the size of a modern micro 9). Maybe by modernization they'll make a new double stack variant that is the same size, making it a somewhat viable carry gun, or a .380 or 9mm version that doesn't completely suck as a range toy.

Complete lack of surprise here. The only lobbying I'd see as less surprising would be rich transferable machine gun owning boomers lobbying against FRTs and super safeties which should be negatively impacting full auto AR, MP5, etc values. I don't know if that's actually happening, but I hope it is because there's really no point in owning a transferable version of a gun which has super safeties/FRTs available considering the prices.

I have 2 and a half ammo cans of .44 and .45lc that I definitely was going to shoot all the time but just haven't. Covid availability of ammo may have played a factor in the acquisition of the ammo but 2 revolvers and a lever gun just don't eat through the pile.

In my case Grandpa, Dad, and me all had the "I love guns" bug to similar degrees and amassed a decent pile over the years. Although the fudd lore those two would spout about .45 1911's was hysterically funny. They were both completely positive that if you shot a man in the hand with a .45 it would knock him off his feet and severely injure him and dismissed tests that showed otherwise as not comprehensive enough.

Nice example retards, in Virginia you don't have to declare you're carrying to the cops unless you are asked whereas in Vermont you don't have to inform. The cops would only ask in Virginia if they are fishing and even if they do they need a reason, to get you to disarm, e.g. their safety, this is where the qualified immunity comes in because the cops don't want accountability over depriving you of your rights in order to make an arrest, lawful or unlawful. Even if this was a lawful stop with a reasonable question about asking if they armed, half the states in the Union have no duty to inform, 16 only have a duty to inform when asked, and 12 have the duty (including DC). It's not unreasonable for a police officer to keep track on who they can ask on a traffic stop. There is also a burden on the CC holder to adhere to the law and understand the local state law as they pass through there.

About this topic.

This was definitely written for the Cops in CA and DC. They were too chicken shit to use them as an example because of how overwhelming unpopular it is in those areas. FYI, if you have any firearms or ammunition in your car and have to pass through DC, just drive around the city.

I wish people thought of firearms like this. Reminds me of apparently the SG55X series not being imported so as not to upset the insane fucking pricing they have on the collectors market. Makes me just a little bit MATI if that's true.

I thought they weren't imported because its the only firearm that the real SIG Arms of Switzerland still makes for their army, so they only show up for import in extremely small batches a few times a year.

Also, I kind of miss those old 550's that Sig USA attempted to make that took STANAG magazines. I don't give a flying shit about how good or bad the Sig 552 magazines are when they're $80 in the US and STANAG mags work just fuckin' fine and are literally cheap enough to be disposable.
 
i just got an overwatch precision tac trigger kit in for my old man's dagger. i tried installing while i've got his pistol and it was doing this thing where the striker dropped while testing the trigger reset. that's like how an FRT works, right? i don't know how to deal with that so for now it's back to stock and will have him just bring it to a guy once he's got the gun back.
it's gotta be a dagger thing since the OP NP3'd trigger bar, connector, and safety plunger run fine in my RXM.
