Are the Plano cases that bad? I have a (I think 42"?) for my AR15 and it seems rather solid; I wish I'd have gotten the next size shorter tbh though..

I would try to think of the worst case situation you could see yourself in with that case. If it doesn't involve being dropped repeatedly, run over, or just generally treated like poo poo, then you'll probably be fine with it. Pelicans are nice because they're watertight and drat near indestructible. I don't know that I've owned anything made by Plano that even remotely falls into the near indestructible class besides an ancient metal tackle box that eventually succumbed to rust. We get Pelican poo poo at work and I know we have one long gun case laying around. We usually don't carry poo poo that large because it's ancillary to the business at best, and was probably ordered as a favor that someone never fulfilled their end on. But the markup is kinda crazy after you see vendor prices. Still worth the money. CRUSTY MINGE fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Feb 15, 2017 |

Warehouse monkey for a company that deals mostly with alphabet soup agencies, mil, police, but for our four legged fur monster friends. We don't generally carry things not related to dogs or their jobs, so a long gun case is really odd for our warehouse. Closest thing to guns otherwise is a starter pistol.

Yeah, just one trust. Have dad and a couple brothers on it too. I went on a splurge about this time last year due to the impending ATF regulation 41P (now 41F) mandating photos and fingerprints for all trust members with any new Form 1/4 applications past 13 Jul 2016. Not because any of us are shady or have anything to hide, but because getting my family to do anything is like herding cats. Of course at this point they've eliminated the CLEO approval requirement for individuals doing NFA paperwork, so you don't have a leg up having a trust anymore. Same photo/fingerprint requirement either way.

Over the next year sometime I have to take a bodyguard class and a "Tactical pistol" course for work (This state licenses PI's and Physical security under the same license so boss man figures we should get trained up for both) I'm totally using my Bersa Thunder for both courses because then I get to make Archer jokes all day

I could be wrong, California laws are always a tremendous loving mess.

That's possible. It's like handguns not on the handgun roster purchased before a certain date can still be sold in private transfer if the transfer happens between two Californians at an FFL's shop. A bit of public thanks goes to Dead Reckoning for taking the time to PM me about some of this stuff.

Nevermind that Pelican case, it's actually a 5.11 case. Looks the same from ten feet down. Which reminds me, I have a stack of their 2017 catalogs here, need to remember to put one in the bathroom.

Threaded barrels are a no-go on semi autos: quote:12276.1 (a) Notwithstanding Section 12276, "assault weapon" shall also mean any of the following: I don't know what stores you're going to, but I wouldn't touch it. You can't sell someone else an assault weapon, even if you legally owned it prior to the ban. Plus side: the only reason to have a threaded pistol is for a can, and those are illegal too.

This is apparently not legal in California:  The gun shop that has it keeps listing it to gunbroker hoping someone bids high enough on it because it's just taking up inventory space. They also feel it is worth at the very least $1000 so lmao good luck guy.

I wonder it's a concern of not being able to pass the drop test or something? http://certguns.doj.ca.gov/safeguns_resp.asp Searching this only lists late, late model 27s as being legal. Guess a mid '70s gun is just too drat dangerous for California

Voted 5. Rented a used XDS 45 yesterday. Took a while to get used to the trigger, but after I did I got a lot more accurate; I started off really low. Also the first time I've used fiber optic sights...a little different, but quicker to get used to than the trigger. The recoil was kind of surprising, I think because the M&P Shield uses some kind of dark magic to suppress the recoil, so I was expecting something a bit more like that. Logically, of course this little guy is harsher than a full-size 1911. The Shield wins on price and recoil, the XDS wins on overall comfort, build quality (the Shield I shot was brand new but felt as rattley as the most beat-to-gently caress M9 I ever qualified on), ease of magazine loading, and Springfield's giving away 4 mags with any 45 purchase for the next couple of months. I think I'm still leaning toward the Springfield. Once I got used to the trigger and the recoil, I found myself enjoying it. Definitely going to need to practice, whichever one I end up with.

You've always got your winchester and magtech, which is usually cheap as poo poo (relatively) but it's not great. Nosler goes on sale a lot and is a good middle ground between the two when it is on sale. I don't use .40 specifically but it's the same for .45 and 9mm so I don't see why .40 should be much different.

EVA BRAUN BLOWJOBS posted:What ammunition do you guys like for 40? I've mostly shot Federal and Remington for long guns. Federal gets kind of expensive. I was going to recommend The Purp, calibrated to mimic the 180gn HST Homeland Security contract load, but it's out of stock again. Outdoorlimited still has it, but I've never bought from them. If you're down with buying reloads, LAX Ammo and Freedom Muntions both sell factory remans at the 20c/round price point, Freedom is probably cheaper since LAX charges sales tax within CA. You can also get a new customer free shipping thing from Freedom, IIRC. Past that, there is Winchester White Box at 24c/rnd from a bunch of places, pick whichever gives you the best quote on shipping.
