Lot of love for Rugers! Did you guys do anything to adjust the sights on the wrangler? I didn't realize Walther made a 22lr 1911, that's interesting!

Hey all, So far I have a Beretta 92X and a S&W Model 66, which are both fantastic. I'm starting to adore the tactile feel of revolvers. Any suggestions of what to consider next? I'd rather avoid esoteric cartridges if possible and stick to things that are most common. Is it time to get a 22LR revolver and lever action to live out my inner cowboy? Or does someone have a counter suggestion? Fun AND practical is also a plus.

Dang that micro stamping is a killer. Is it right that it would apply to *every* handgun sale, not just "new" models like in California?

Coming from the city that literally suggested that people just give in to muggers instead of fighting back... I am not surprised. Yes, shame on the local shops for not being able to afford 24/7 armed security. I'm sure most rational businesses already use locks and security systems as appropriate. Especially if they need it for insurance.

Hope a small clip doesn't break the vibe of pictures :P

Exactly all the points cited. Unfortunately, all of this sounds like "common sense" to people who don't know anything about guns, gun laws, or home protection. It is similar to telling people to keep their fire extinguishers in a locked safe at all times. Would that make sense? Absolutely not! Allowing a minor to access a loaded gun is already a crime! The cost of safes is not a minor point at all. Any additional cost that could lead to making guns prohibitively expensive is a win in these politicians' books. In NYC, if I remember correctly, not locking your guns correctly can carry a jail sentence of 30 days. Meanwhile I've seen people let out of central booking with essentially a "stay out of trouble" for carrying guns illegally. I remember once some family members were attacked in NY and called the police. The police told them it's a good thing they didn't fight back or they'd get arrested too! That is exactly what would happen here. The DA would say, "Well, you had all the time in the world to unlock your gun and your ammo, so your life was NOT in danger." On the chance that you do survive a violent home invasion. Oh it make me sick to my stomach.

Your data is always for sale somewhere on the dark web. Harvard's former "hot or not" just somehow made a legitimate business out of it.

Indeed, had to order a bunch of 38spl to give my revolver some love. But with the recent drop from Murphy, I really regret letting a gun out of sight for any period of time!

I've been a little oblivious to CA but... from what I understand now, it seems that Harris was instrumental in putting their microstamping requirement forward. Hmmmm... what are the odds that the administration will try to push nationwide microstamping to curb the "epidemic of gun violence?" This whole thing honestly has me kind of pissed. These precedents will not bode well for neighboring states, given that they're already looking to work together to step on our rights. The issue is their supporters do not understand or care about the 2nd amendment. Take NYC for example. They have this cult-like fixation with their politicians, even though NYC is the least progressive city on the planet, even compared to Pyongyang. They will eat up the BS like candy and cheer at the slim pickings like legalized marijuana.

Thank you for doing your part to stand up to the audacity and egoism of this celebrity. Being able to literally shoot someone and then honestly blame it on the gun is on the level of psychopathy.

If anyone's curious, I picked up some A-Zoom snap caps in 9mm, 357 Magnum and 223 Remington. So far, they seem alright! They have a satisfying metallic "feel" while still being obviously fake (especially the blue 223 I got). I used three 357s in my revolver and used the other 3 as a control group. After going through them about 20 times, the primer caps are indistinguishable from the unused ones. Have to say, snap caps work very nicely in a revolver since it doesn't have to cycle The 223 cycle and eject properly. So far so good!

Just like other politicians, the video doesn't show how many "thumbed down" the video. I have to watch it in bursts because it's kind of sickening. I hate when they use the "common sense" buzz word. No evidence to support your argument? Just claim anyone who does not agree with you lacks "common sense!" Also have to love the willingness to punish people for obeying every law in their previous state only to be punished for deciding to bring their tax dollars to New Jersey. Also: I love the fact that every single comment is criticism. Nobody likes this. How did this person even get re-elected?

Microstamping! Wow, I haven't seen that word in a long time! Yeah, all of that is basically saying "I hate gun owners and want to make your lives as annoying as possible." I'm glad I got an "other" before he decides to attack those as well. Imagine having to go through any kind of red tape just to buy ammo! Insane! It's bad enough you need to share your FPID with everyone.

For better or worse, it really is up to the PD and their overall volume of requests. I feel like I got lucky in my time frame. I agree it feels silly to get your FARS background check back-to-back with a NICS check which basically covers the same thing. Best to always apply for five or six permits at once so you're not at a loss. They cost like $2 but the time lost with this process is much worse if you do end up wanting something.

sounds awesome! hope you enjoy

Well, practicality won and I decided to go for a Smith & Wesson 66 Combat Magnum. It's a fantastic gun.

Well, it looks like Beretta will service the gun. On one hand, it's not a *huge* deal, but it's great that they'll do it and I don't have to risk making the problem worse. I did already order a bottle of oxpho blue, which can't hurt to have on hand in any case. When she comes back I'll be treating her to a nice new red dot.

Thanks for the input all! I wish the thought occurred to me before. I dropped a note to Beretta's customer service and will mention it to the shop I got it from when I stop by this week. Overall, I like the gun. One way or another I hope to rectify this and continue to enjoy it. Hope you can fix your issue too, @The_Matrix

Here are some shots of the slide (upside down) under the front sight. It generally feels smooth to the touch but it looks like there's a hint of lip around the hole under the sight. Maybe? Though it seems like the barrel should clear it. It's honestly been a while since I last used it; I am glad I decided to ask!

Hey all, So I put one box of 50 rounds through my 92X and I notice this wear under the front sight. Aside from general lubing, is there anything I need to care about here? (Noob alert) Thanks again

This made me lol

That Hornady rapid safe looks really cool. I have an "Awesafe" biometric safe from Amazon....(Link) It isn't awful, but if I didn't have it I'd consider that Hornady. The fingerprint scan works as long as the finger is flat and spot on; if you roll your finger at all, it usually won't open. But so far I never saw a false positive on other fingers belonging to myself or other people. There is a gap between the lid and the rest of the safe frame when it is closed. It does have mounting holes at the bottom at least. Whether you open via fingerprint, code, or key, the lid flies open with force and the inside is lit up.

Hey All, Any thoughts on 9mm snap caps that wouldn't gum up my Beretta 92X? I would like to practice my DA trigger squeeze and also loading/unloading. Now, I'm sure people will chime in that Beretta 92s can be dry-fired ad nauseum. But if I *do* get snap caps I'd prefer to get something that doesn't leave weird metal or paint residue in the gun. I would consider 357 / 38 special snap caps by the same token. Thanks again!

They're basically two feet away from each other and still missed. Also, it helps to wear pants that fit.

Dang, that "blaming it on the people with 3 shots" is too sad and true... I feel I can relate to this:
