    These boilerplate denunciations of USN Freedom of Navigation operations happened all through the last couple administrations, so miss me with that.

    Should be a slam-dunk for the homeowner-licensee, then.

    EDIT: I should probably clarify my position, in that I don't see a lot of the "hair on fire" potential in this particular rule clarification...

    Oh no. The federal authorities will not help you violate local ordinances. The absolute horror.

    Even under existing rules as currently interpreted, that hypothetical gun show table would be tap-dancing right up to the edge of "engaged in the business", although even if it did draw attention and...

    Ell. Oh. Ell.

    If you ever see me refer to myself as a "warrior" or "guardian", somebody's hacked my account. And I sure as hell ain't got no messiah complex.

    I'm not doubting you, just pointing out that even as far back as 1968 we were well into the "luck of the draw" years in the QC department at Smith. And then came 1970...

    It's a little bit of that and a little bit of the fact that there's an innate conservatism to the gun community, and I don't mean the political kind. I just mean that there's a general belief that...

    1968 is three years into Bangor Punta ownership and well into the first era of cost cutting. CNC and MIM guns from the 1990s-2000s are better than any Smith revolver made between 1970 and 1990.

    I...

    A good example of that swell Bangor Punta / Lear Siegler Era quality control from Smith & Wesson would be this Model 581-1, made shortly after the sale to Lear Siegler.

    How many rounds have you run through how many new High Powers?

    I'm curious as to how much weight I should give your opinion on the gun.

    I think it’s more of a theoretical worry than a real problem. I’ve never had it occur with FMJ in my Beretta or Skorpion.

    And I’d climb over a pile of LCPs and P3ATs for a P32.

    If your grip is legitimately perfectly identical whether shooting DA or SA, you don't need to worry about this.

    It’s not the mechanical dwell time that differs, but what the gun does during that time. Thank you for clarifying your understanding of the topic at hand.
