SHUSH Act?? Federal removal of Suppressors from NFA ?
0% chance without the GOP controlling everything. Maybe 20% chance if they do. Face it, your average American thinks that suppressors are illegal and make everything whisper quiet, and everyone will go about silently murdering everyone else if they become easy to get.- erwos

10/22 Trigger options
My 10/22 steel challenge/SASP builds are almost universally like this: 1. Ruger receiver 2. Kidd trigger group 3. Wiland ultralight barrel 4. Adjustable tension V-block (to fix barrel droop) 5. Kidd bolt (lightened if necessary by Wiland for reliability) 6. Wiland ultralight chassis 7. MSP... -
10/22 Trigger options
I run Kidds on all three of my competition 10/22s. They're fantastic. If I ever build another from scratch, it'll have a Kidd. -
Handguns no longer allowed to have threaded barrels?
Staccato makes their money by buying off influencers and selling 2011s to people who haven't owned anything but unremarkable striker-fired polymer pistols before. When they discovered that the tacticool hype market doesn't last forever, they came crawling back to the competition crowd, but they...- erwos

What's the best SBR that is considered pistol in Maryland
Seriously. NOT TODAY, SATAN. But really, let's not called braced pistols "SBRs", please. Unless you'd like them to be regulated that way, anyways. -
Low Light / Flashlight Course
That is fundamentally what Runnin' Dark does.- erwos

Low Light / Flashlight Course
The most convenient spot to practice this kind of thing is at the Runnin' Dark shoots at AGC. Unfortunately, it's now the wrong time of the year to shoot with WL/NV since there's a limit of 9PM for shooting at AGC. I would be extremely careful about who you select for these low light courses...- erwos

Double Load(checked that box)?
Yeah, but the problem is that trying to orient your powders around screwups in your process is fixing a symptom, not the root cause. I've used TG for maybe five years now in 9mm, and never had a double charge, because I don't load on presses that make it super-easy to double-charge if you get... -
Double Load(checked that box)?
I saw that picture and the FIRST THING I thought was "I bet this is yet another satisfied Dillon 550 user". I'm not saying this can't happen on a 650, but you have to work a lot harder at it between the auto-indexing and the powder measure failsafe. Blaming Titegroup is an excuse, IMHO. Glad... -
9mm case explosion with Gen 3 G34
This guy nailed it. People look for all sorts of explanations that blame OOB or double charges or whatever. What OP had happen was a brass failure, and the failure point was probably at the feed ramp area of the barrel. Most of my guns won't even fire with slightly high primers. The likelihood... -
Springfield 1911 DS vs Walther PDP Match?
It's an option, but I personally think Para mags are a dead end at this point. The market has moved to STI mags for the most part. BUL used to be a great budget recommendation, but their guns have gone way up in price over the past few years. Quality has gone up, too, but they're not low... -
Springfield 1911 DS vs Walther PDP Match?
Pretty sure that's a scam site. -
Springfield 1911 DS vs Walther PDP Match?
Slide fit is over-rated, too. As long as it isn't causing problems, whatever, wobbly-ass slide isn't the end of the world. Too tight, on the other hand, has bit me once or twice. -
Springfield 1911 DS vs Walther PDP Match?
The PDP isn't a 2011, so I'm not sure what you're talking about, OP. Personal opinion, buy a cheap Turkish 2011 and then swap out the externals with an Atlas/EGW ignition kit, maybe fit a new trigger, too. Slide fit won't be as good as a "nice" 2011, but it'll shoot. -
Going rate for Glock 17
The good thing about used and trade-in Glocks is that it's neither very difficult nor very expensive to replace all the internal parts if you discover you have issues. The likelihood that the previous owner shot out the barrel is about zero. It's like buying a used 10/22; ultimately, there's...
