    Look, man, I am almost as old as Al Pacino was when they filmed that scene. My window of opportunity is closing.

    Sooooo... other than magazines and (hopefully) a standard thread pitch for muzzle devices, what US-made FNC parts are available to make one of those "pistols" into a 922r-compliant rifle?

    I'm confused. I thought this was for James Bond LARPing. If it's now for preppers, where's the version with lime green Cerakote and blaze orange biohazard-symbol grips, shipped in a matching...

    I'm all in on .32/.327 for the simple reason that I can run a couple of hundred rounds of .32 through an LCR in a single training session without losing the use of my shooting hand. Whatever's...

    Without having objective performance metrics, subjective and fallible memory says my best pistol accuracy has come from my H&K P7 PSP and an early-production Springfield EMP.

    If the former were...

    In addition to the reasons already articulated upthread, I always insert a high-viz chamber flag when I ship a gun. I don't mind providing that additional assurance for whoever unpacks it.

    Today, I picked up a lightly-used 4.2" .327 at my local fun store and put my first hundred rounds through it. I'd say it's a damned fine consolation prize, and one whose aesthetics are the geometric...

    I got lucky on timing. UPS dropped off my can at AAC on December 1 and I got the call today that it's ready to come back to me. It sounds like I got in just under the wire for the first batch.

    Count me in with a similar issue. Five rounds through my .38 LCR and I'm done for the day. Same thing happens with .38 J-frames. Intense pain in the base of my thumb, radiating out through most of...

    That's a reassuring turnaround time. My 762-SDN-6 landed at their shop last Friday. It's seen so little use, I was almost ashamed to send it in.

    Almost.
