The way I see it, even if the wait time is 6-9 months, those 6-9 months are gonna go by anyway. You could either have a quiet tube at the end of that time span or not. The choice is yours.
January 21, 20214 yr Oddly, my favorite gun shop here in Helotes--the Gun Shack--just posted they are now a Silencer Shop dealer! Here is their process... Quote In partnership with them, we make the process as easy as can be! To purchase a suppressor, this is all you need to do: • Click the link here or in our bio to create an account https://www.silencershop.com/gunshack/ • Purchase a silencer, either through Silencer Shop or by calling Gun Shack at 210-858-6882 • Purchase a tax stamp for $205 • Choose how you want to file – as an individual, a trust, or a corporation • Submit your fingerprints and registration info at Gun Shack’s kiosk • Download the Silencer Shop app on your smart phone and take a passport photo at Gun Shack • Review and sign documents electronically • Sit back and wait for your suppressor to come in! Of course, the first question anyone asked was "what's the wait time?" Their response... Quote it honestly varies in time earliest we’ve seen was 5 months But this, and the fact Biden hands out EOs like they're Halloween candy, may be the catalyst that motivates me to get a suppressor while they're still legal! Stay tuned...

They're already pretty heavily regulated. I doubt they are going anywhere realistically. We shall see. And in no way defending anyone, just making a point, Trump signed more EOs in his first term, than either of the 3 past presidents in their first terms respectively. So, for now, Trump also handed them out like candy 😉
January 21, 20214 yr Picked up the Sig P365 the other day. Loving the sights on it. Light up like LEDs at night. The mags suck balls to load though. Spring is really stiff. The follower sucks too, speed loaders even struggle. But, its pretty small for being a 10+1. I ordered a pinky extension for one of the mags since it didn't come with it. Definitely a must if you dont have the extended 12rd mag. Slide lock is a bit tough, but I'm hoping that goes away with use. Overall, solid purchase for a solid price too.

Biden signed seventeen his first day.

Biden signed seventeen his first day. I know. I was speaking to his term. All we can do is wait and see what follows. But that discussion is for a different thread. Also managed to snag a case of 7.62x39 for a relatively decent price considering the current climate. All set on that stuff for now. The Zastava ZPAP M70 is a nice firearm.

I have about 300 rounds through my 365 and the slide lock hasn't improved. I can't release it with my finger.

Are the mags any easier to reload yet? I can release it with my finger occasionally. Well, with my thumb, but normally I have to pull back on the slide a little to release.

Well, with my thumb, but normally I have to pull back on the slide a little to release. The stock 10 rounder requires a solid push to lock it in. I can get the release with my thumb about every 10th time. I don't carry a second mag right now currently so its not a huge issue. Love the gun other than those two issues though.

My dad has a Beretta 92 and it loads those fantastic. These however jam up after 5 rds go in. Just will have to deal with my thumbs hurting after a few reloads at the range. Ive only put a few rounds through it but I love it. Its so small too, which is great for me since I'm not a big guy. Makes carrying and not worrying about a print that much better. T-shirts would be a stretch, but sweaters and thick clothes are perfect with the size of this gun.

This has done the trick for my glock and sig mags with zero issues. Its great.
January 23, 20214 yr Target or Action shooting: Dawson Precision fiber optic front w/ serrated black rear Defensive shooting: Ameriglo Hackathorn or Spartan, Trijicon HDXR, or a fiber optic like above if you have a light mounted I’ve found I prefer a square notch rear, so I like the Ameriglos. The Trijicons have a u notch rear and are great sights. Might depend on what’s available for your particular handgun. Edited January 23, 20214 yr by Shaft34
January 24, 20214 yr Dawson Precision is the standard by which all target sights are judged in the action shooting world. That's not really true. Everyone just uses Dawson, no point in trying other stuff.
January 25, 20214 yr Pulled the trigger on the suppressor today, now for the painful wait...thanks bureaucracy.

January 26, 20214 yr On 1/24/2021 at 10:24 PM, uhhello said: For what gun and how much if you don't mind me asking? Got a Dead Air Wolfman for 9mm and 300 AAC. I’ll use it on a couple 9mm pistols and an AR .300. I got it through silencershop.com, who works through local dealers if you so choose. Mine was available immediately at a LGS, so that allowed the paperwork process to start immediately. About $1k total, including tax stamp and trust fee (I’m using their option to set up a trust for me vs. doing it all myself). Edit: Can also use it on .223 and 7.62 (semi auto only). I think it’ll be a great all-around can; I will probably buy another one at some point, but I can’t see myself buying more than that...rather spend that money on more guns/reloading supplies.

January 26, 20214 yr Great info brabus, No issues in any other areas except for normal shooter lust, just haven’t ordered any air cans as of yet. Thx.

I forgot to mention the TruGlo TFX or TFO sights. These are fiber optic with tritium inserts. I have the TFOs on a couple pistols (green/yellow) and like them. The TFXs are improved TFOs and available for more models.
January 28, 20214 yr Just looked back in my order history and saw that I was paying $189 per case of 1,000rds of brass 9mm last January, only shed a few tears for the Good Ol' Days...

January 30, 20214 yr Can’t find primers anywhere other than way inflated prices on gunbroker. I kick myself every time I think about my many opportunities in previous years to stockpile...never again! On that note, anyone have any lines on primers that aren’t ludicrous gunbroker price gouging?
January 30, 20214 yr Ruger PC Charger with a Glock mag well to accept Glock large cap (32 round), magazines. I added the SB Tactical brace and a red dot. Fits nicely in my go bag and easy to hang on the back of the seat in the truck.
