LOL - when I started carrying appendix with the Zero Bulk holster - I realized cold gun again warm belly = not great. So in the summers I wear a tank top tucked in under my polo and in the winter I have an undershirt on anyway. In the summer when I am in a tshirt only - I got a Zero Bulk Pro to add some leather between me - but my new optics do not work with that one, so I'll hope to find an alternative by next summer. Not a fan of full IWB holsters - just too thick for my tastes.

Is there any truth to a posting that I just read in another forum that Canada has banned the sale/transfer of all handguns?????

Yes....we *let* this happen....you do understand we don't have a constitutional right to firearms right? There isn't a *let* here. Nor is there a right being removed. Let's see if the Liberals stay in power this next federal election though...not so sure they will. Sadly, going to be 2024 before it is called.

Yeah, but at least acid and knives require you getting close and takes more time to effect the same numbers, if even possible. Not like say your Las Vegas shooter, your out of control school shootings, numerous lethal encounters with the police, etc because you lot can't get your act together. I don't know...think I'll take the former over the latter. But you keep preaching about the sins of everywhere else in an effort to take away attention from the deep flaws of America, maybe it will work. Or you know, maybe Americans are just as much idiots as Canadians, just for different reasons since you seem to have zero solutions as to how to clamp down on gun violence?

Your countrymen voted Fidel's love child into office. You get what you get. Your PM banned 1,500 models of assault-style firearms and variants of AR-15 rifles in 2020. This is ONLY going to continue to where you end up like the UK. Your rifles and shotguns will be next. While they disarm you they will tell you this is in your best interest and will make YOU safer. How comical is that?

Never said I like or agree with what Turdeau has done. Making more laws doesn't affect criminals, only affects us who are law abiding citizens to begin with. But it wasn't a right, nor are we idiots, and those of us who do have firearms regularly vote against him I'd wager. His star is waning with the rest, have high hopes he is defeated next time.

Sure, one can certainly find examples of other mass murders. I wouldn't exactly be chuffed that an ISIS terrorist managed to dummy 27 more people in a 19 ton van than the Las Vegas shooter managed, because it still doesn't look good either way. But does something like that occur as frequently as mass shootings do in the States? What if we added up all the deaths from mass shootings (suicides don't count) and compare it to all the deaths from other forms of mass murder in other countries, by country....think per capita the rate would be higher inside or outside the States?

You guys have a problem whether you care to admit it or not. It doesn't necessarily have to mean taking away your rights. But when you conclude that Canadians are idiots for "letting this happen", meanwhile happily accepting the absolute tidal wave of gun deaths in your own country and being absolutely unwilling to do anything about it, then don't be surprised when others hold a similar opinion about Americans. As the saying goes, people in glass houses should not be throwing stones.

We have an issue that needs to be addressed. Banning guns is not the answer, doing nothing is not the answer, something needs to be done. I think most would agree of this here in the states, except those who think all guns are scary and bad of course.

Trudeau = cancer
Lack of Castle Doctrine / right to Self Defense in Canada = shit sandwich


Now, to stay on track... picked up a PSA Rock 5.7 handgun - it comes in full size.
Fascinating, low-recoil hand cannon.
23 round mag, but it'll take 24.
Takes some breaking in though - put about 100 rounds through it today.
Expensive ammo though (cheapest for 5.7x28 being 60 cents a round) but it's a tack driver. Solid. Fun. 1/2 the price of the FN model, and cheaper than the Ruger too.

Being an FN fanboy I had to get this. My 509 tactical compact is one of my favorite handguns, so this thing was a natural buy. FN 509 CC edge. I think it’s beautiful but two knocks against it.

1. Double the price of competitors.
2. This is really a full sized 9mm.

Will give it a run this weekend!

I do NOT like the 509 CC Edge. The trigger on this thing is TERRIBLE, how FN can charge around $400 more than 509 Tactical Compact which I absolutely adore and come up with this is mind blowing. This is the first miss I've had in the history of all the FN products I've purchased. I just did a quick search online and apparently this is a common issue with this pistol. WOW is this a surprise!

Straight to Armslist with this one! Glad I got a good deal and paid below retail! Stay away from this pistol, it feels like it has sand in the trigger and the compensator does jack all for muzzle flip. VERY disappointed!

Hate to say it, but my only explanation is FN is cashing in on the race gun craze and taking advantage of people. I read a couple things like this prior to purchasing, but through all my years of buying FN products I had to give them the benefit of the doubt as they're my favorite firearms manufacturer. This thing is a DOG, an absolutely dog. What a shame!

I'm serious, I wasn't putting follow up shots on target as quickly as I do with my 509 TC. The compensator is a joke!
