I am looking for a 4.5" or 5" .22 either a Buckmark or Mark III. The Buckmark is easier to clean, but the Ruger feels solid. So, I am not sure which one.

Stripped AR Lowers.

 

Brand New DPMS $ 130.00 at the York, PA Gun Show. Just in case

 

Unfortunately, stripped lowers are "handguns" in PA. It's not a new law, but a new recent interpretation by the gov. So, you can't buy them in PA without having them shipped to a NJ FFL, and then using a purchase permit to pick it up. Dunkelbergers had 5 different brands at $130 each and I was going to try one of each, but the saleman was disappointed to learn I was a NJ resident.

 

Of course you can buy a rifle made with one of those as a NJ resident, which really doesn't make sense, even for crazy gun laws.

unless i'm mistaken, stripped AR lowers are now treated (somewhat) like handguns on the ATF 4473 form and you may not be able to buy out of state.

 

pk90 may be able to offer a definitive answer on this one.

as far as my experience goes, you don't need a purchase permit, it just needs to be transferred through a NJ FFL.

 

and you can still buy a complete rifle in PA.

I've got 5 permits pending, and I think I may have the shopping list complete. It all depends on the available discretionary financing (I also need some new photo gear).

The list in no particular order,

 

A 9mm metal frame, full size - 92FS or 90 two or CZ75/85 or etc. (for the range, and maybe some low level competitive shooting)

A 9mm metal frame compact - S&W Chiefs Special or Bersa Thunder 9 UC or etc. (for the house)

A .357 revolver 6" barrel - probably some flavor of Taurus (for the range)

A 9mm compact poly frame - M&P 9C or Walther or etc. (for Lynn at the range and house)

A .380 Mickey Mouse Micro - LCP, PPK, etc. (just because I can) OR some low end 1911

 

Other than the first 2, everything else is subject to change depending on availability and impulse.

kenw If you want to shoot a CS9 I have one.

Thanks for the offer. How does it shoot for you? Accurate enough for casual non-bullseye shooting and general nightstand use?

 

I'd love to shoot yours if the opportunity comes up. My neighbor has one and the thing is just so damn nice, but I've only dry fired it. Haven't gotten him out to the range with it yet. I love the fit & finish, and it's surprisingly comfortable in my hand, considering the weird shape of the grip. I've read complaints that it's too "bulgy" along the wide side, and someone even makes a shaved grip for it to make it flatter, but it fits and seems to point well for me. It (or one of the other all steel compact Smiths in 9mm) is definitely on my want list.

Gun shoots great comfortable recoil and plenty accurate. I have the complete set CS9, CS40, CS45. Next time we meet at BA I will bring it with me. There is a member at S&W forum that cuts down the hard grips from the bigger pistol to fit the CS9. I think his forum name is Big Dawg.

I'm waiting for my 3 permits to arrive, but have a Ruger LCP 380, Bersa Thunder 380 & Taurus 17HMR on hold. Also waiting for the new Taurus 5.7 revolver to come out.

 

Taurus 5.7 revolver, what is that? Do tell

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
