I love my Glock 17 but it is getting old.

But the wait for it was eternity. I bought it one week prior to 9/11. And of course part of the process is an FBI background check and they were kind of busy chasing down other stuff for a while.

I sold that one when I had a health scare and didn't want to leave it for my wife to figure out what was what and how to get the money back. Felt better and decided I had to have one again. Paid $43k through Ruben at that link for one a year ago and already it's worth more. Mine has the registered sear which is always more desirable than the registered receivers he currently has available. He would probably buy it back for $43K.

If you buy from that site I linked two primary factors kick in. First, he is absolutely trustworthy and you get a seriously good condition gun that will work out of the box. He reconditions them all before sale. It's the Cadillac ride of buying NFA. Second - you pay premium prices. LOL.

And yeah, ammo is higher (I think I used to buy 9mm for about $125 per 1000 rounds) and in general anything you wanted was available and delivered fast. Ahhhh the good old days. Still, might look back in 5 years and think "why didn't I get one then". Never know. They sure do out perform my stock portfolio.

I almost bought one from Ruben back in 2002 for $10,000. I kick myself every time I think about it for not buying it then.

I was just thinking, started my career carrying a Smith & Wesson 5906 and it went down hill from there.

Smith & Wesson 4046 (awful double action only)
Smith & Wesson 99 (emergence early retirement due to numerous malfunctions)
Smith & Wesson (unknown piece of trash as a stop gap)
Smith & Wesson M&P 40

Couldn't find a pic of the developmental 4046 (that's how rare it is)

The ONLY Smith & Wesson I'll ever trust is my 686 wheel gun. It's a non-fluted pimp gun

My wife loves her 686.

Has anyone purchased a NFA item recently with the new electronic system? If so, how long did the approval take? They are touting a 90-day timeframe.

I have a P320 (full) and love it, the Q silencer I recently purchased is for my P320. I can’t wait to pair them up.
- Grey Ghost Precision Threaded Barrel
- Live Free Armory Slide w/Romeo1 Pro
- Griffin Armament Micro Carry Compensator (to be replaced with silencer)

Love it!

Speaking of not having nice things, my agency was in bed with Smith & Wesson. I had to endure their trash for 25 years

Now I only buy the good $hit

I will say that I love my duty M&P 2.0. It is a solid firearm.

….and yeah, no safeties here and only weapons that can fire with no magazine inserted.



P.S. Thanks for your service. I've got 15-ish to go.

We had a magazine disconnect, still uncertain how I feel about that

Thanks for your current service!!! Keep your head low, bob and weave

Interesting. What was your issue with the magazine disconnect?

It's kinda a catch 22

Dump mag if losing a fight over your weapon.
(Suspect can't shoot you)

vs

Inability to fire a round without a properly seated magazine.
(You can't shoot suspect)

Thankful I've never had either incident occur.

Where did you get those range flags? I need some.

This was the issued gun at my current department when I started in 1998. It had a bad firing pin spring so my first day was not good.

We switched to the gen3 Glock 22 in 2002. Then gen3 31 in 2008 then gen4 31 in 2018. We're looking at Glock 45 MOS in 2026.

I might have got them at Bass Pro, but I wouldn't swear to it.

First cousins.

Hoping to get them dialed in on the range today.

Nice! I also have both and slightly prefer the G. Blaster. It's less finicky about shooting sub and super unsuppressed.

Appreciate the feedback! Had the opportunity to pickup the GB (in 5.56 actually) after I already had the Badger. Since the Blaster is in 5.56, I could justify having both :

Honey Badger! Glad to see another fan of the Q. A great pair you have there.

So anyway............

Who got out and did some shooting this weekend?

I strongly support gun rights, and I also very strongly support a woman's right to choose what she does with her body.

In fact, I think supporting the right to keep and bear arms for everyone (but especially for oppressed minorities) is a great thing, and can help defend other rights from government over-reach.

please dont feed the trolls

On a different note... Anyone here have any experience with the Springfield Hellcat? Looking for something small for EDC. Have a G19 currently, and I would like a G48, but I feel even that is too large. Debating on the P365 or the Hellcat purely for size.

Ahh, and there are you guys, turning in your kitchen utensils.

I mean, I guess you can take your firearms away, but you lot have sort of proved you'll always find another way eh? Resourceful chaps you are. Going to throw this out there...it *might* not be the implement that is the problem. Maybe.
