    Happy P320 day!

    I have a 320 (plain jane model...not any tricked out ones) that I sent back during the "voluntary, totally not a recall" Sig offered when the issue first cropped up. Haven't had a problem yet. Also haven't dropped it either and it's always only gone bang when I've pulled the trigger. Still it...

    DOGE thread

    Every week I'm required to write a bulleted list of what I did for the work and what I expect to do for the next week. To me that is not unreasoable. However, it should be coming from a manager and not a random OPM email or one of Musk's tweets. Seriously, this guy is almost worse than Trump...

    Dan Crenshaw Threatens to KILL Tucker Carlson on HOT MIC | Tucker Responds in The most SAVAGE Way

    I had high hopes for the guy when he was first elected. Thought maybe he could the "one" that we all could get behind. Then he started talking about supporting red flag laws and he's basically dead to me. I'm not the biggest Tucker fan out there (I like a lot of his takes but not all) but if...

    Maryland, Baltimore sue Glock, linking gun-maker to crime

    The politicians know for a fact this will do nothing to stem gun violence. They're hoping for a quick settlement to pad their general fund. It's a cash grab plain and simple.

    Lt Gov Antonio Delgado not running with hochul

    Hochul is very similar NYC Mayor Eric Adams in this regard. Both are progressive liberals who are deeply unpopular with voters and will likely not win reelection unless something drastic changes. Delgado dropping off the ticket shows that the Hochul Administration is a sinking ship and virtually...

    Hochul sends the national guard to jail where prison guards are striking

    I live in a community that has a lot of CO's. The stories I hear about conditions in the prisons are horrible. The inmates are literally running the asylum. I would never want to be a guard but it's a job that is sorely needed. There are plenty of scumbags who do not deserve to see the light of...

    THE ADVENTURES OF THE 47TH PRESIDENT....

    Yeah. I'll support Trump where I'll support him but not this. Gaza is a shit hole strip of land with a shit hole strip of people. Absolutely nothing good can come of us taking it over and putting boots on the ground. I suspect this is just another of Trump's bluffs but it's a doozy. I don't...

    Reminder to check your permit recertification

    My county prints the renewal date on the back of the PP. Mine is up for renewal in July of this year, though, I'll probably renew a bit sooner just to play it safe. Though, unless you ask them to reprint your PP you need to keep track of it. Honestly, it really shouldn't be an issue for the...

    .357 Revolvers

    I have a S&W 686 six inch that I use when I walk around my property (stumbled upon too many bears and don't want to take the chance to get mauled). I also have an S&W 649 (which I don't think they make anymore) also in .357. I would just suggest if you do get a snubby don't make a habit of...

    I just like that the lever action rifle is having a moment again. I recently acquired a Marlin SBL and have yet to shoot it but boy howdy is she a beaut!

    A National Guardsman lost their rifle when it fell off a truck on a Delaware highway

    I was going to say, they look like Pelican cases. An organization I volunteer for bought two (not for guns) and they are built like tanks. Heavy as hell. Thankfully, the ones we got come with handles and wheels lol.

    NY proposed requirement for criminal BG check to purchase 3d printer.

    Tim Walz Endorses David Hogg for Vice Chair of the DNC

    Wait? I thought Waltz was a hunter who respected gun rights? I mean he wore camo hats and everything on the campaign trail! /s Seriously, anyone who thinks that a modern day Democrat could be pro-gun (or at very least gun neutral) needs to have their head examined. I'll echo everyone else...

    Recert repercussions? (Pistol permit)

    Just to add my 2 cents...when adding a pistol my county requires you to submit a copy of your recertification authorization with all your paperwork. Not sure what other counties do.

    Tom "Border Czar" Homen to Gov. JP Pritzker ~~~~

    For every politician in a so-called sanctuary state that refuses to assist federal law enforcement with the deportation of illegal aliens, realize that Federal law supersedes anything that the states of localities implement. It's been that way since the founding of this country. In short...

    Ruger RXM collaboration w/Magpul: Glock 19 Gen 3 Clone

    Their Mark IV is a solid .22 semi-auto pistol. I like mine. Way easier to dissemble than their Mark II, which I also have (inherited from my late grandfather).

    Starting a "What did you Get today" thread. Let's give it a try (dont forget pics)

    I hate money. Or maybe just the thought of retirement. Or maybe I just have poor impulse control. I went to one of the local LGS's today to get a new sling because the one I had for my new Ruger American Gen II which I got earlier this year broke recently (really disappointed in that for what...

    TRUMP PICKS SHOCKING NEW FBI DIRECTOR — Dems Irate At New Use For FBI Building

    I really don't see the FBI, ATF or any other agency department going away. The Leviathan is just too big now. However, if we can starve/neuter them then maybe something good will come out of them. Personally, I'm more for repealing bullshit laws (Patriot Act, SAFE Act, etc.) than I am about...

    New York pet shops to halt sales of puppies, cats and rabbits

    Never have bought an animal (unless you count chickens). Most of my pets (all cats) have either been litter runts that no one wanted, strays, or shelter animals. All of them have been amazing to me and fine companions. Animal welfare is important. But I also don't like the heavy hand of...

    Gov. should cancel deer hunting during Christmas holiday break

    Hunters have very specific seasons and deer is really only one time of the year (Fall/Early Winter) while hikers, etc. can go literally any time of the year they want. How about you shut up and let hunters (with their hunting implement of choice) have their opportunity in the woods. And let's be...

    Frank Luntz: Democratic Party should be very concerned about 2024 results | On Balance

    Trump won bigly not just with whites but also took a huge chuck of blacks and Latinos. This is something no one, especially Democrats saw coming. Also Gen Z (who a lot of folks like to crap on) went big for Trump too. Absolutely NO ONE saw that coming. Basically only women and upper middle class...

    NYS Proposal #1

    The SAFE Act just made people safe and the Concealed Carry Improvement Act just improved concealed carry /s. I'm a firm believer that bills should not have "names," but rather just numbers with descriptions of what they will do. Far too many low info voters.

    Jury finds Sig Sauer liable for pistol shooting; awards $2.3M in damages

    While it's not my go to carry gun (that honor goes to the P365) my 320 has never fired by itself. I also keep my finger off the trigger until I'm ready to fire too. I did have it sent back to Sig to make the repairs. I also own a 1970s era Remington 700. That was also supposed to go off just by...

    NYSDEC Siezes Squirrel

    The last few years I've been getting more and more black squirrels in my yard/property and far fewer grey squirrels. Are the grey squirrels moving to the suburbs to keep their kids away from the undesirable elements? The number of annoying ass red squirrels seems to have remained consistent.

    I was hoping a wildlife rehabber would chime in on this. While extremely heavy handed, the State was acting within the law.
