You may recall TTAG’s two-star review of the ZiP gun. “The owner of USFA has promised me another ZiP to test very soon,” Jeremy S emailed. “They’ve made some production line upgrades and the new ones are supposed to run like tops. Apparently I’m supposed to receive ‘the first one off the line.’ I still have my doubts, plus they obviously aren’t addressing the fact that you have to stick your damn fingers in front of the muzzle to operate the bolt, but I intend to give it a fair shake.” Meanwhile, bravo to our man Michael for not saying anything about solutions looking for problems. To be fair, usfirearms.com offers a carry solution for their not-so-bad boy: the $20 Zip belt clip. Which is nearly a tenth of the total cost of the pistol. An enigmatic choice for sure, but not one without a certain . . . charm.
It seemed obvious to me that you didn’t have to put your hand in front of the muzzle. You could just put your finger on the charging bolt while avoiding the muzzle
Le sigh. I swear he knows he’s becoming irrelevant and will do whatever it takes to stay in the light.
I’m surprised he hasn’t pulled a Paula Abdul and been drunk on air.
Once again TTAG is a benefit to me. I am quite comfortable with a pistol around the house and for concealed carry and I feel I am very safe. I am inexperienced with a rifle, so I thank TTAG and Rabbi for the brilliantly simple idea of carrying my rifle around the house for an entire day.
Fun fact, if you move to California with an arsenal, you have no reason to “register” anything. Why? No “manufacturing” or “commerce” took place.
Two comments:
1) If Piers Morgan believes American is so dangerous, then why doesn’t he leave and go somewhere else? The only people that would miss him would be Harvey Weinstein, Michael Moore, Michael Bloomberg and Diane Feinstein. Perhaps they could pool their vast financial resources and buy a private island somewhere. We’d all be better off.
2) Sheriff Nocco answered Morgan’s comments (were they really questions?) very rationally. I’m surprised Morgan didn’t get emotional and raise his voice and talk over Sheriff Nocco, as he has with others in the past.
There’s something fundamentally wrong with our system of government if we need to give money to Institutes for Legislative Action in order to secure our Constitutionally-guaranteed rights.
We have TTAG – ad-supported. We have Colion Noir on YouTube. The Internet gives gun owners the ability to unite as never before. If the NRA, SAF, GOA, etc. all disappeared tomorrow we would all still be informed about the issues and we would all still vote for freedom. The forces that truly win hearts and minds to the cause of freedom would still be in place.
Maybe it’s naive, but I’m simply never going to donate to an organization and hope they “fight for my rights,” whatever that means. It’s not like we get extra votes when we pay dues to the NRA. I feel like the Founders would be horrified and ashamed of us.
