The Truth About Guns provides news, reviews, and insights to help you stay informed on the latest trends in gun culture, legislation, and industry developments.
Glock 26 for sure. I already own one and carry it everyday. Nice little pistol and takes all of my other Glock 9mm mags. The Sig does look pretty nice though too, I’ve just never seen one in real life.
As we speak anti’s everywhere are having heart attacks.
Legally old enough to die in some foreign shithole at the behest of some fat pervert of a pol but not old enough to buy a drink or a handgun. Sounds real familiar to me. I guess there really isn’t anything new under the sun.
That’s a fun little store.
A strip club machine gun store? Although I reject reducing women to sexual objects, it does sound like fun.
Once again. No liquids near the interwebz thingie is a life saver.
Guns ‘n Jugs
We considered that awhile back
The “ATF” store.
Gun range/store with machine gun rentals. If you have a m2HB and want to shoot it, bring it. M134? No problem.
Club (strip?) alcohol very served.
Cigar bar/weed place (if it ever becomes legal)
Not enough funding 🙁
A strip club where you can shoot machine guns? Sweet!
Save the money for ammo, wimminz come and go, your gun will stay with you as long as you want it.
I have a 1989 Sig P-226 in 9mm; made in W. Germany. It is very accuate and reliable.
The only knock on the older models with the carbon steel slides is corrosion resistance. The factory bluing is not very durable and wears off quickly. Just keep it clean with a ligh rub of oil or silicone and it won’t rust.
I also have a 2013 Sig P-239 in 9mm. A very accurate and reliable pistol as well. It has the stainless steel slide, which greatly improves corrosion resistance, but also makes the gun heavier.
One word of caution. Stay away from junk ammo like aluminum or steel cased cartridges.
They will work in a Sig most of the time, but not all of the time. Definitely not worth the buck or two of “savings”. Stay with name brand ammo, and you will not likely see a failure.
Ever.
As far as qualitly control, with the craze in concealed carry weapons, and increased demand by the public, it seems that just about all the manufacturers are having some problems.
Kahr PM9’s that stovepipe.
Early model Sig P-238’s that fail to feed.
Springfield XDs’s that are under recall because they could go “bang” just by racking the slide.
Gen 3 Glocks with recoil spring problems,
etc.
Sometimes, tweaking a proven design just to make it a little bit lighter or smaller doesn’t always work out. It’s probably better to go with a “designed from the ground up” pistol for a particular caliber than just something with a different grip or trigger mechanism.
I really only have experience with Sigs, and believe that you can’t go wrong with “Classic” Sig pistols.
If this trend continues, I’m failing to see how this will not run afoul of the Heller decision. DC’s handgun ban was struck down because it banned an entire class of firearm, and if most manufacturers follow suit (and I believe they will given the economics for the situation) it seems to me that this is clearly a backdoor ban on a class of firearm that is in common use for lawful purposes. I can’t imagine that ever surviving scrutiny at the federal level. That, of course, could take years.
“Man, I just want to grow up!”
There’s the punch line, do you remember the joke?
Unbelievable. Why stay in a classroom deathtrap? Those students who obeyed orders to remain in class are lemmings.
I would rather these companies come out and just say that the real reason they are letting the guns drop of the list is the stupid renewal process for the list and not the microstamping. Why? “any new semi-automatic pistol introduced into that state must comply with microstamping laws”. The key word there is “new”. Everything I am reading says that guns that are already on the list can continue to be on the list without microstamping as long as changes aren’t made. So while the new laws would make it more difficult so submit new guns, it doesn’t seem to affect old ones as they would be grandfathered (like gen 3 Glocks are with some of the features that have already been required for a number of years). Telling people they won’t be renewed because the guns would have to have microstamping added is a bit dishonest,
Lee Bright is a lunatic, fiscal hypocrite, and secessionist. I will not be voting for him.
But he’s 100% right on gun policy. His bill that proposed a firearm safety and marksmanship course for SC schools really should have passed.
How many of you have written these companies and told them that you will not support them unless they no longer sell to LEOs or repair the firearms?
Justice Antonin Scalia recognized the right expressed in the Second Amendment is not “unlimited,” writing that the court can limit “the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.”
All things have an inherent amount of danger to them if not used properly, even items invented for the benefit of humankind ( o.d. on prescription meds). The only reasons that I see fully automatic weapons as being seen as unusual is because of the idiotic laws making people to jump through hoops just to own them, making them a rare, and price.
Methinks they’re looking for a politcal scapegoat here.
The problem wasn’t that two armed officers had to eat and take a leak.The problem is that in California, the bad guy has civil rights the taxpaying citizen does not.And they’d rather shovel the poop down the paygrades then clean it up.
And it is silence from MDA/MAIG . . .
They have been a little more boring, But quite honestly i would rather him do safer videos than some of the stuff he did in the past. I have seen him blow up a car and nearly kill himself in the process so maybe toning it down is a good thing. I see no problem with being a more responsible Shooter. It helps us all really.
One thing I do not agree with is the argument that with a select-fire weapon on automatic fire, that one is more prone to miss the target. Shooting at one person, perhaps, but shooting into a crowd, that would depend. If the shooter knows anything about what they’re doing, they could very much be hitting people. Imagine if James Holmes had opened fire with an automatic fire weapon in the Aurora theater. Adam Lanza shot each child multiple times. Imagine if he had fired into multiple children with automatic fire. He would have turned them into human hamburger meat.
I know it is just a movie, but I think of that seen in the movie “The Dark Knight Rises” where they take the stock exchange and are firing automatic fire weapons. You could never do that scene like that with semiautomatic.
Machine guns aren’t legal? The sad thing is a lot of the general public thinks AR15s are machine guns or don’t know the difference.
What gimmick did he do to “jump the shark”?
In general, “jumping the shark” is when a singular event is the tipping point for the show never being good/interesting/enjoyable again. It’s usually the sign the show is out of ideas and running on momentum, but it can be due to cast changes or even the show going in a new direction that bombs with the audience. In this case, his hiatus itself is being suggested as the shark jump, which I think kind of fits, as the show has changed intensity since the return.
I’m thinking they should give those bouncy balls in lieu of gift cards during gun buybacks. Maybe people would start to get the idea of what is really happening.
Just pistol whip the dude…the knife will only impede you.
After what’s coming arrives the people of Conneticut will forget about a place called Newtown. This could get very hot very quick fellow people of the gun. Remember the Constitution forbids this. If the patriots in Conneticut need our help we cannot forsake them. (P.S. – Hi NSA…I know you’re reading and I warn you not to follow unconstitutional orders. We outnumber you 100,000 to 1 and have had our fill of this nonsense! You were warned!!)
I for one enjoyed FPS Russia’s early videos. It was over the top schtick that was sometimes dangerous. It was like watching my redneck brother in laws shoot old cars out in the country, except with explosives and full auto guns. I can find a million reviews of guns, serious, sometimes boring reviews. Yes FPS Russia is sometimes a dangerously idiotic clown, but so are the guys from Jackass, and as long as it is billed as don’t try this at home entertainment it is an entertainment niche. As far as the Russian accent, there are a billion guys on youtube doing dumb things with a redneck accent, why not mix it up with a Russian one?
The amboyna burl stock (second to the last image, top rifle) is one of the most beautiful rifles I’ve ever seen.
