Welcome Glenn and Pew Pew Plates!
Just wanted to say thank you and welcome (again) to Glenn of Pew Pew Plates. Many of you should already know Glenn, as in GlennP.... but he decided for some silly reason to provide the gun community with awesome Steel and Steel accessories, and thus changed his name to @Pew Pew Plates. His website where you can check out the products is www.pewpewplates.com and can be found on FB, Instagram and others.

What is this...
Oh wow, an actually 5" "Floppy" When we came from Soviet Union, our first PC, Packard Bell 386SX had one of those. =) Bought it from that computer store in Edison (that is no longer there I think). Was replaced later to a 486SX where I learned to love playing Wing Commander. went every weekend to my brothers house just to play the game and on the computer.

Airsoft
Yep, a few years ago I set up a buy for a number of airsoft guns that were Tanfoglio clones. Gas guns, with the gas canister being in the magazine.

The worst crash in our lifetime is coming
Did not read it... BUT.... I do know Jim Rogers fairly well. (met a number of times), He is an expert in commodities and puts his money where his mouth is, moved his entire family to Singapore and his kids are learning Mandarin (chinese). Will read this later and comment.

Sig P220 vs 1911
BS. =) A used $550 P220 will be better than a $550 1911.... but Bone stock , absolutely hell no, versus 1911s that cost twice as much. Heck, even good one like Smith Wesson Pro Series or Performance center. Personally, I don't like the DA trigger on the P220, and far prefer the SAO. =) Come shoot a few good 1911s. I DO want a P220 SAO in 10mm however.

Bobcat enters a home in Morris County
For those better in the know... what's the difference between a Bob Cat and a Mountain Lion? And weren't there mountain lines in NJ that were blamed to be Bob Cats?

Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Happens. Don't go down that rabbit hole. You didn't lose money, right? That is a win. Ruger really has the best balance sheet out of all of them, and hence why my thesis for my unpublished article that worked out quite well... Buy Ruger, Short Vista & Smith. Worked out quite well. Over the next week or so will be digging back into the financials and reports on the three again to see if it still makes sense. One analyst came out today and said Vista is a buy.... yeah, at his stupid high valuation/multiples... all while the CEO of Vista is telling you they are having issues. Never mind the massive debt load they took on.

Let me know if you want to go, I have hooked up a few members here with some media credentials in the past. =) Not the tread jack.... but this is usually my favorite fun of shot. =)

Sig P220 vs 1911
Oh yes... and I would say I have 2. =) The SVI is well.... SVI. Super duper crisp 2.25 lb trigger. The Smith 1911 is the Pro Series, right around 4.5 lbs. The Desert Eagle 1911 is surprisingly very good, but when you think about it, it was produced by BUL in Israel, which designed the gun as a competition gun for Charles Daily as per their request. Magnum Research swooped in and outbid CD and it is now the Desert Eagle 1911. Remington 1911, is eh. Played with a ton of custom to "custom production" 1911s and 2011s at the various shows (Shot Show) and matches.

Humn, I may actually be game.... it is close enough to PA to make it worthwhile. What are the annual fees? Cap cost?

Sig P220 vs 1911
The P220 suffers from the same capacity issue. I will say, The P220 will have a "nicer" trigger than many stock 1911s, or lower entry 1911s, but a good solid 1911 is perhaps the nicest trigger you can find... (in my opinion, as a YUGE fan of SA triggers). Sig actually makes a pretty nice 1911 too. My brother likes his P220, and I will likely get one at some point. At the same time, I have 3 1911s and 1 2011. =) Smith Wesson, Desert Eagle, and Remington, and the 2011 is an SVI.

Sig P220 vs 1911
Huge fan of 1911's.... yes commie loves his 1911s. =) Why? its almost like legos. Massive third party support and you can customize it to your heart's content. While it is not as "easy" to field strip versus a modern gun such as a Glock, CZ or Sig.... it is far easier to do a full detail strip and no tiny pesky parts to lose. In reality, any gun owner should be able to easily strip a 1911 anyway... It is not hard, just one extra step really. Having said that... I really LIKE the Sig P220 for what they are. Do not compare it to a 1911... but on its own merits, it is quite nice, in a variety of styles. Keep in mind, 1911 mags will NOT work in a 220 even though they are close, iirc, the 220 has the mag catch holes on both sides? and in a slightly different position.

At how ludicrous prices? Talk to you about it or Joe?

Ruger Mk IV Recall
Heh well that was quick. Wonder how many guns are affected... considering it seems the problem was found just a few days ago. Seems like the Remington 700 issue.... where you pulled trigger with the safety on, then when safety was released it goes bang.

Exciement For Gun Rights, Anxiety For Gun Investors - Contributions from our very own vendors
Matt, thanks for reading obviously and your comment. You are quite right, their cost is likely lower and it is selling now at the price point of others.... but a $579 MSRP pistol selling for $275 so quickly... issues. On the ammo and accessory sales side... Vista Outdoor, owner of Federal, Speer and CCI ammo already came out with guidance that was far far far lower than expected and was already pummeled. Out of the publicly traded ones, Ruger is in the best position because they have a very clean balance sheet. Vista and Smith Wesson.... drop in sales is just one issue... they are levered to the hilt and coming home to roost. .... and honestly, seeing the CEO of Smith Wesson drunk out of his mind at Shot Show gambling... did not inspire confidence. lol.
