Still, the legislative battle is only just beginning. I think a lot of people breathed a sigh of relief after Obama's unveiling, mostly because of fear over an instant executive order style ban. But the battle will be heated in the coming months at both the state and national levels.

IF you feel as I do on the issues, I would urge caution in becoming too complacent just yet, this road has a ways to go... Keep on writing :tu

I'm heading to my state capitol tomorrow, I hope that nationwide folks will be doing the same :)

Ya, stay cautious, I am hoping we are ok out west, state law
Will be fighting the Feds.

We have open carry here, but a lot of the open carry guys are idiots!

I've mixed feeling on OC. Even if we had OC, I'd CC most of the time. Don't want the BD to know I'm packing.

Exactly.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 
Yep... lots of OC idiots.

Primary appeal of OC to us I think is a desire to change peoples minds, to educate away the knee-jerk fear away from them. But it's bass ackwards, the fear is already there, and OC won't fix it.

For practical use, CC is much better to not let the bad guy know.

Agreed!

But sometimes it would be nice to carry open and not worry.

In Fla. we can carry open on the way to hunting, fishing or camping though.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 
Open Carry marches are a big part of how we got Ohio to pass concealed carry, spectrrr. We told the legislators there were lots more OC events to come, including up and down the sidewalks where they lived, gated communities or not. It also was useful as a protest tool in towns where the police were hassling both open and concealed carriers, using local ordinances that were no longer valid, or just plain flat out playing 'bully behind the badge'.

I maintain open carry still has a place in the battle to raise awareness and straighten out towns in Ohio with an antigun bent. Plus, a right not exercised will be taken away sooner or later. I know that some feel OC led to stricter gun control in California, but basically that was gonna happen anyhow, the lefty quotient in ther government is way too high.

Just to keep the thread in the right direction: On Thursday I was able to buy a couple hundred rounds of .40 S&W 180 grain flat point factory rounds at a good price, but that supplier (old friend) may be out of all ammo real soon. He only gave me a deal because he's got AR lowers to pay for that he snagged before the hysteria.

The big size difference between the 27, xd and the shield is that the shield is .23" thinner. However the xd and 27 both hold 3 more rounds. Thoughts or opinions on any of the guns above?

Thanks the other replys everyone. I was able to get my hands on a G27 and I really did not like it. I almost walked out of there with a Karh CM9 for $389 but the wife would not of been happy. I still would like to see an XDs and shield before i pull the trigger. Things are getting crazy around here though, most gun shops only have around 30% stock left. Most are completely out of target ammo too.

For concealed, you will love the Shield or XDs. The latter is just more expensive, a manly .45.:D

Dsg arms. I backordered them on 12/20. I got my E-landers in the other day too that I ordered on 12/27

Yes. Some people are having issues seating them with 30 on a closed bolt without a hard hit to the mag. I am as well. Seats fine with 28 and seats fine on an open bolt. Springs are very tight. My department requires that we download all mags to 28 so not a problem for me, plus I usually put mags in on open bolt anyway.

But as far as functioning in a rifle, they seem to function fine from all reports I've seen with no malfunctions

I'm debating whether to sell a few pmags I've got now for a hefty 5x profit... or wait for a mag limit to pass and profit more... or wait for a mag limit to NOT pass and then be left holding the bag :tg ..... I'm leaning towards selling off a few now....

If you don't mind waiting to place a back-order now with say..dsgarms, then sell them off!

I picked up 10/$125 on the G2 windowed Pmags from them, got it in under a month. I know they are still OOS on the non-windowed black G2. DSG is great, they have yet to jack up their prices on their inventory due to the imminent tightening of gun ownership laws.

Not sure if I placed an order NOW that I would ever receive it, lol

BUT DSGarms delivered 10 windowed pmags to me last week... and 10 more non windowed pmags from dsg are supposed to be delivered monday :tu

Paid $10 for the non windowed ones... kinda hard to resist not posting em for $60... besides, gotta come up with some way to justify the rest of my purchases this month :r --- I'm still collecting parts for a more 3-gun oriented AR, and a PTR91 arrives on Thursday :noon

Might be a long while... missing most of the parts, something about being out of stock. lol.

I was going to with a 14.5" barrel, but I've reconsidered, planning on doing a 16" midlength gas now. Daniel Defense has a reasonably priced one, though I just have to find it in stock :)

midlength perfect for a 16" barrel Francis. That's what I have on mine, from PSA

Just gotta find one :/

Got a PSA 16" carbine upper coming, when they get around to shipping it (ordered 3 weeks ago). In all likelihood, I'll probably end up reselling... but we'll see.

I found a Midwest 15" float rail in stock, I might pick that up for the heavy 20" frankengun I've got and see if I can lighten it up a bit. Then I can compare the two and decide which one to keep next year :)

I second this totally; I love my CM9 and the PJ holster is perfect for pocket carry. Great little gun and I can shoot it remarkably well given how small it is and big my hands are.

Does anyone have personal experience, or know someone who does, with a Glock .22lr conversion? I'm looking to pick one up so I can economically shoot, plus continue to develop the feel for my Glock. Of course I'd still run a few mags of .40 thru it to keep up with the feel of that caliber.

I actually forgot about the uppers and tried to buy the 14 DPMS 20rd mags they had in stock. at $30ea, I could easily flip them on gunbroker for $60. Yes. I am a horrible horrible bastard. Go head and get it off your chest :)

Anyway, got as far as the checkout and realized the site is more than likely a scam site. It's fishy AT BEST. And for sh!ts and giggles, I delved deeper into the checkout - there wasn't even an option to ship it, only in store pickup.

I don't but you'd be better off asking over on Glock talk or the subforum on ar15.com There are several conversions and I know one was mentioned being the best but I don't know which. You got a lot of .22lr? If not, that's had to find right now too it seems.
