I consider firearms functional works of art. Well the best ones. So why would I want to hide them away in the darkness of a gun safe, only to emerge for show-and-tell or range trips? I don’t . . .
So I’ve hung a few of my favorites on the walls in my home, and I’m looking to buy a gun cabinet. But they’re all long guns.
When it comes to handguns I home carry. And store a small gun safe or two here and there.
I guess you could say those guns are hidden. But they’re not really. Not compared to guns that people stash in stealthy places. Like the rifles cleverly disguised by the furniture in the video above.
Do you hide guns around your home? Are they locked-up?
Yes
Interesting review, tho dated. I’m aretired old fart-ex-NAV, attracked to the pricing of these Canik’s, but have been waiting till they had a few years in our market.
I “traded in” carrying a 1911; for about the past 10-12 yrs(can remember:) )I’ve carried my ‘old’ S&W Cs9 for year, n I really do like it, tho the mag capacity is somewhat of drawback…Anybody out there have experience with the newer model Canik TP-9SA? I liked the way it “felt” on a recent visit to a gun shop. Thanks.
Looks like one I had, with a range of 500 meters. Not much use to a sniper, I would think. So, like, what is this thing’s range, and do I want to know its cost?
Fascism is always the easy answer.
I cerakote mine to match the walls, floors, appliances and furniture and leave them out. Chameleon style. Be careful to open the real fridge when going for the milk. You sure you want to put your bread in that toaster?
I pulled the orange caps off the kids toys and put them on my guns. Throw them in a decoy toy box or strung around the house like the rest of their toys.
^WINNER !!!
I keep a pistol in my office desk and one in a drawer in the kitchen. My home defense rifle generally leans against the wall in the main room I’m that day although it goes in the safe when I leave the home. No kids or little children that even visit so I’m not worried about safety concerns.
If it was half that price I’d be all over it.
I like mantles (have 4), well out of reach of kids. Main floor mantle has Glock in holster and spare mag, all in a fancy decorative bowl you have to be over 6’8″ to look into, 3rd floor (master bedroom only) mantle has undisguised 1911 and spare mag. And I home carry. If SHTF, shottie and suppressed SBR will come out to play, but currently have zero crime in the area. Also have 1911 in one car, in dash console.
I keep a few of my cerakoted rifles unloaded in a locked display rack on the bedroom wall
I keep 2 loaded pistols in different pieces of furniture downstairs
One loaded pistol in the bedside drawer
My kids have been taught from a young age that an awful punishment awaits anyone who touches a gun without permission
When little playmates come over, the drawer guns get locked in the safe
They go back after the friends leave
My older kids and wife have been taught how to shoot and can use the hidden guns if I am not home
House rules dictate that any fools who need shooting get shot twice!
Reminds me to get my butt to the local Tandy Leather to stock up for a few projects on the back burner.
Damn, I need cheaper hobbies…
🤠
Every so often I see one of these auctions (especially the ones run by Sotheby’s) and, just for a second, think that PowerBall tickets might be a good investment.
Sigh…. It is just a yearbook photo. Like fights over Prom dresses, it is annoying nanny state at work. On the bright side? In a few weeks you will graduate And never look back at those jerks again. It is just a book to sit in closet shelf for 30 years…… Lose the gun, say cheese & move on with life….
Is corporate HQ staying in NY, or are they finally leaving the state where civil rights go to die?
I would certainly be onboard with reusing anything from guns that have to be destroyed (e.g. ones that are damaged beyond repair), but I’m not sure I’d really make that a selling point, beyond “made from recycled materials”.
As for headphones themselves, I tend to use a Logitech headset while on my PC, and some cheap Sony headphones when I’m out and about.
Nope, home carry. The rest are in safes, except for the HD .300 AAC suppressed AR that is in reach with me every. single. night. Then back in the safe.
Question for anyone who knows:
I saw, on TV news or an article, someone stated that to make an AR automatic, all you had to do was drop in the appropriate trigger and that was it.
Is it this simple? I remember talking to a gunsmith who said that it was more complicated than that.
Thanks
Bill
Select-fire AR-15 triggers are not compatible with semi-auto lower receivers. You’d have to do some drilling at a minimum and milling plus drilling in the majority of cases before the trigger system would even fit.
Shotgun above and behind kitchen pantry door.
I once hid a gun so well that it took me several months to find it again…
So, no. I don’t try to hide guns anymore. 🙂
Having a pool in your backyard increases the likelihood of drowning. Doctors should warn people of swimming.
“It’s a failure to parent.”
no it’s called letting them learn by their mistakes. you can’t follow your child around dictating everything they do. if you do it will only fuel their desire to rebel even more. all you can do is guide and offer advice.

How much for the solid gold Francisco Scaramanga model?
Colibri charges too much for the rights, and the 4.2mm ammo is seriously hard to find. Maybe Larry Potterfield can make some out of old .25ACP and hog’s lard.
I can’t wait to see how they pull this one off…
What could possibly go wrong during deployment? lmao
Pretty cool tech and innovative thinking – just not for me since I’m not a double-naught spy.
Whatever happened to that folding thingy that magpul came up with…..that was cool and I want one.
Unless it is air soft, i.e., if it shoots real bullets, it is an “assault weapon” in ban states. It fails the “overall length” requirements for rifles, separate and apart from the various “evil features.”
The only way I think that they could get it as a nonSBR is that the stock doesn’t adjust, so that it is not “designed to be fired from the shoulder.” But who knows.
I’m not really interested on short barrel rifles or their workarounds–guess it’s just not my thing–but I would like to be able to attach a Magpul AFG2 foregrip to my Kriss vector pistol without needing an AOW permission slip. The entire NFA is a ridiculous affair in security theater.
4,700.00….. Umm no. My wife would kill me if I spent that on a 1911 and I would kill her if she did the same.
Doesn’t take much to turn an AK into a full auto machine gun. Not practical for the 7.62×39, but the 5.45 and it’s low recoil… maybe.
I’d love to know what the 3 words on the selector are.
Mmmmm bacon
I love the 458 Socom
Ban everything!
It’s a mini flare launcher!
I would like to think that after bump stocks, binary triggers, the Maxim 50 black powder silenced rifle, and now this, that the government will say, “well, shucks, that whole NFA thing is pointless, come on senators, let’s repeal it!”
Instead I imagine the Democrats and Republicans teaming up to ban this along with bump stocks, with the blessing of many second amendment folk and fudds. California is probably already drafting a law to double ban it by name, even if it is already banned there.
They say it’ll stop a car in its tracks. I wanna see that video.
I don’t like being an early adopter if there’s not much but the company marketing, but I am a fan of the 7.62x 40 WT. I think it’s better than the 300 BLK. If they got this HAM- ER to market before the .458 SOCOM (which came out of Broken Arrow, OK), the SOCOM guys woulda done something else.
Where ya been Nick?
Thank you.
I wanna see a video of the overhead hammer and firing goup functioning in a Colt Scamp, in F/A mode.
Good question, but terrible OPSEC. There can’t be that many Farrago’s in the city of Austin or in the county records, and you regularly tell people ahead of time when you will be out smoking a cigar… i.e. not at home. Now we all also know you don’t lock up your guns and they’re just hanging on your wall. Just Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant idea to announce that on the internet.
I want the Lone Rangers rig
#2, the S&W 360, is my EDC, and I love it. I do carry .38s, but shooting .357s is fine if you use both hands, the rubber grips help a lot.
These have been around in revolver form since 1870. – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%26_Wesson_Model_3#Schofield_Revolver
Also, I’d just like to point out that whoever took that photo at the top needs to learn how to fo cus the damn camera.
I was interested in this until I realized that it won’t be possible to reach the bipod lever to level the rifle when behind the rifle. Will make leveling quite odd
I have heard of this, and from what I have heard of it, it apparently seems to work.
*Provided* no, zero, zilch, nada taxpayer money is used, I’m all for it.
If billionaires like Bloomie, Soros, and Leftist organizations like ‘The Joyce Foundation’ want to finance it, I’m all for it.
That’s a little less money they could be spend attacking the 2A, as far as I’m concerned.
Knock yourself out, guys…
I pay a quick visit every day a few web pages and sites to read content, but
this web site offers quality based posts.
If i have my pants on my taurus pt709slim is in front pocket. 20 rnds ? Really 100 rounds meh ? I have a well documented 2700 rounds thru this pistol and its not missed a beat. I believe if you carry you should shoot. And maintain proficiency.
The little girl has good trigger finger discipline, kudos to her.
