Figured I’d post this, since I found it to be interesting. World War I revolver.

How is *this* the very *first* question in a *gun* forum, especially in commie NJ????? If it looks trollish, it reads trollish, hence it must be a troll...

True. That mostly went away because of dash cams and body cams

Jerk alert! If you want a reliable, well made, dependable 9mm rifle that takes Glock pattern magazines then get the Ruger PCC. Kel-Tec has yet to to a product that has those three qualities.

Sounds like a really, really exciting place to live!

This is what I would get:

I imagine as the CO of US Forces over there he gets to damn well carry whatever he wants!! RHIP!!

I have the .40 that takes M&P magazines... being I have two M&P40s. Stock, they are borderline functional. Will it work... very likely yes. However, somewhere between airsoft and BB gun is a good comparison. Having a few other pistol caliber carbines, the SUB-2000 is nice for the folding feature, but it is as economic as you can make a functioning firearm. With that being said, if you like the design... look up MCARBO. They do A LOT of modifications for the SUB-2000. I personally have all of their internal modifications in mine... and remember how I said it felt like an airsoft/BB gun? The MCARBO equipped gun feels like a gun. I got on their pre-release sale, and got their new optics mount for about $100. Very nice design, and beats the other options... and still allows for folding. It will mount the SIG red-dot I have at home whenever I get situated up in ME. Comparing the Ruger, I can't really talk much... as I always preferred the CX4 to the KelTec. However, the Ruger is encroaching 7 pounds (CX4 is under 6). The SUB-2000... 4.25 pounds. Plus, if you want flexibility with magazine compatibility... the KelTec does do a lot more than just Glock and Ruger.

5 Years in the Villages? That should be all you need.

I had a Sub2000 gen 2 in .40 S&W. It was not a pleasant gun to shoot in that caliber. It is considered a rifle as the gun cannot fire in the folded position. I do like the folding concept. I will probably get one someday, in 9mm, if I find a used one for the right price. I think new it is overpriced. As for compliance work, the Gen 2 has a threaded barrel, so you either need to weld the provided thread protector on (which is what most FFLs do to it) or have a muzzle brake welded on. The Gen 1 rifles do not have a threaded barrel, but you want Gen 2 for the improved design and sights. I would only buy a Gen 1 if it was a screaming deal. The adjustable stock has been cleared by the State Police firearms unit as being OK in NJ, as it is needed to take the gun down for cleaning. If you want, I can try to find my copy of the letter. All that said.... I own the Ruger PCC 9 and agree that it is a superior rifle in just about all aspects. It is heavier and less compact than the Sub2k, but it feels like a real gun and it has really fantastic ghost ring sights. It takes Glock magazines from the 26/19/17. I have the original version, but the new aluminum handguard version really looks nice. Let us know how you make out.

Except the one @GRIZ has the site fell off. True story

@Nucrunner, I am speaking from experience.

Enzo had the 64 Monza race cancelled because there was a good chance Farrari would lose, not sure what would hit his ego harder, losing the point series... or losing on his home turf in Italy. During this time period, Ferrari was a HUGE sore loser. Im hoping this movie doesn't overlook that fact, they tried a lot of sneaky tricks to beat Ford OFF the track, and it wasn't just ford.

A bit OT but there were other innovations going on at that time. Jim Hall was running the Chapparal (sports/racing) which was the first racing car that had...an adjustable wing. That wasn't the only innovation. The Chapparal also had an automatic transmission. Jim Hall never said what he did to them but all the parts came from stock Chevy Powerglide parts available to any one over the counter. The Powerglide was Chevy's 2 speed automatic also known as a 1,2 slushbox. Adjustable wings, parts from a crappy automatic transmission? Other racers thought Hall was crazy...until the Chapparal started winning races.

I've quoted from another website (thefirearmblog.com) : Strict scrutiny, if applied to all 2nd Amendment cases, would entail all gun laws being subject to three tests. Once the court determines that strict scrutiny should be applied, the challenged law or policy is presumed to be unconstitutional. The government has to prove it passes the strict scrutiny tests. First, the law or policy must serve a compelling government interest. Secondly, the law must be narrowly tailored to achieve that interest. Thirdly, it must be the least restrictive means of achieving that interest. High capacity magazine bands, assault rifle bands, May Issue would all fail this test...

I'm pretty sure that won't fly with the court. It's believed that SCOTUS took this case not as a case to strictly defend NYC gun owners' right to transport outside of the home to other than the seven ranges but instead to set precedent for strict scrutiny for 2A laws. They know that if NYC changes the law there's nothing to stop them from changing it back after the case is dropped from the docket. The only way to keep NYC from gaming the judicial system is to set precedent via strict scrutiny. That's why the already told NYC that they weren't going to delay the case...

Depends on the cop. If you are cool with him or her then you are on your merry way.

I have strong wrists, ask @capt14k

Good Lord the permits are made of paper! Just put some permits under a copy machine.

Uh Oh.... This post is scheduled for later editing.

It's not in the rule book, but at my matches new shooters are required to not wear a concealment garment. I need to see what they are doing and a concealment garment isn't doing it's job if I can see. If we have a no-light/low-light stage new shooters have to have the lights on...for the same reason.

@GRIZ: Also, take a close look at the little checkered flag decal affixed to the front fender of the GT40. It is a little dig at the Ferrari logo of the prancing horse. Ford put an arrow through it to signify their goal of winning Le Mans and beating Ferrari..... AVB-AMG

@GRIZ; You may or may not be aware of this little fun fact tidbit. Dan Gurney was a tall man, just over 6ft. tall. The Ford Mk IV GT40 had very limited headroom. So the engineers on the Ford race crew cut a hole in the roof of his GT4O to give Gurney some additional headroom and then riveted a shallow domed cap over the hole, that Dan Gurney referred to at "the bubble". Here is s photo of the GT40 J-Chassis, that Dan Gurney drove at Le Mans, along with A.J. Foyt, showing that minor roof modification. The car has been restored and is currently on display at the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, Michigan: I have seen a number of Ford GT40's with historical race provenance at a number of car shows and museums that I have attended and/or visited. The Ford GT40 pictured below is currently owned by Miles Collier and is part of his magnificent automobile collection at the Revs Institute in Naples, FL. My wife and I visited and toured the R.I. back in March. In mid-June 1967, this Ford Mk II-B GT40, which had started life as No. P/1031, a 7-liter Mk II GT40 built at Ford Advanced Vehicles in Slough, England, mysteriously changed identity and became No. P/1047. “There were a lot of shenanigans with the GT40s,” recalls a Ford insider. “At the start of each season a large bond had to be deposited to ensure its appearance on the start line. In the event of an accident that made it impossible to repair a car before it was due to race again, it was less expensive to switch chassis plates with another car than forfeit the money that had been deposited…” That is what seems to have happened to this GT40, which had already completed a grueling season’s racing in 1966 before being uprated to 1967 Mk II-B specification, with its 427 cubic inch V8 engine modified to deliver greater power, reliability and durability with a “dry-deck” cylinder block and a new induction system. For the 1967 Le Mans 24-hour race, Ford, who was very anxious to repeat its sensational 1-2-3 victory of 1966, entered a six-car team. There were two Mk II-B GT40’s, (this car), which ran as No. 57, painted light blue, and No. 1047, which was painted gold and ran as No. 5 – and four of the new lighter and more aerodynamic Mk IV “J-cars” with bonded aluminum honeycomb frames. Additionally Ford-France entered a third Mk II-B (No. 1015), while JW Engineering, which had taken over the FAV operation in Slough at the beginning of 1967, ran a 289 cubic inch GT40 and two 305 cubic inch Ford-powered Mirage sports prototypes. This car retired after 18 hours with a seized engine. GT40 No. 1047 had already crashed and would not race again that year. After a hasty rebuild by Holman & Moody in Charlotte, North Carolina, this car, now fitted with the chassis plate of No. 1047, returned to France and won the 12 Hours at Reims just two weeks after Le Mans. It was the last Mk II – and the only Mk II-B – to win a race. AVB-AMG

I think Electric Gold carts get some sorta rebate from the government.

I went because of ray ban

I refused to go because of RayRay's Ban

I think it depends... If your Neighbors are liberals get a gas powered one with an insanely loud muffler

Maybe. But the GT40 dominated Le Mans through 1969. Ford proved the GT category wasn't owed by Ferrari. Keep in mind at the same time Carroll Shelby and his Cobra dominated the production sports car class.

The GT40 had teething problems but it showed what American ingenuity can do. Dan Gurney (most versatile driver ever) had Formula One covered at the same time. He won the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix in his All American Eagle. The last time before this an American driver in an American car won a Grand Prix was Jimmy Murphy (?) in a Dusenberg in 1921.

I lived through this. Ford wanted to buy Ferrari. Enzo was willing to sell but was going to put the stipulation on the sale no Ferrari engine was to be used in an Indy car. Henry Ford (III?) said screw you Enzo I'll beat you at your game. Ford developed the GT40 (40 because the car was 40 inches tall) and after a little rocky start wound up winning the 1966 Le Mans in a first, second, and third sweep You also have to realize the brutality of this race. Two drivers per car for 24 hours of racing. Not 24 hours of driving on the interstate but racing.
