Sounds like the 200 dollar tax stamp requirement got reduced to $0? Is this suppressors only or also SBRs?

Both. Didn't get them removed from the NFA like they should be, but I'll take it.

I wish they would have pulled the suppressors from the NFA at a minimum, but whatever.    Don't even care so much about the stamp, it's the fucked up processing and time.

Approvals are coming back in a matter of days now.  I bought a can in January and it was approved 3 days after the paperwork (e-file) was submitted.  Beats the hell out of the 1 year wait I had for my first can.

Only if you arent adding it to your main trust though, I thought.  The one shot or whatever I know was coming back withing a week.

Negative.  I have trust with multiple items in it and got the fast approval.

Does anyone have any experience with one of those laser targeting systems that is used with a phone app for dry fire targeting practice?

Mantis X hear and it's phenomenal.  First time used it I was burnt after 20 shots.  Over time I figured out my stance, trigger hold and breathing.  Got to where I could go over 100 shots in on session.

The Mantis X uses a motion sensor, not a laser. It tells you how stable your muzzle is when it feels the hammer fire.

Sounds like the $200 price tag will continue through the end of the calendar year

Ninety days from signing was what I originally heard. Would make it October 2 I think. Did that get changed?

I’d love to have a plain blued one though.

A Korth, hell yeah.  Not sure what makes them so special, but I'd "take" one if offered.

They are hand made by little old omas in Lolla, Germany.

I wonder what Sig is going to say now? It ends today? 

That 320 is a snakebit flop, reminiscent of the Remington R51.

Sig should have submitted a full size version of the P365 which would’ve been a better choice. Or an H&K.

So SIG and the US Military are finally done trying to make "Fetch" happen?

Guy's a great, great follow on the socials and can absolutely shoot his ass off.  I know he does some competitive shooting, just no sure how much, ala Taran Tactical, etc?

Perhaps not coincidentally, 320’s are a “hot deal” at Academy right now.

A fire sale?

More like a misfire sale.

A few notes:
Lots of new DS1911’s dropping right now.
Apex Optics - take a hard look. They’re dope.
Take advantage of sales right now

Speaking of......  I've been shooting the MAC 9DS Comp in 4.25" and the MAC 9 DS 5" fitted with a Cerberus Compensator and I love them.

Good guns / value price - Lotta room to upgrade and still stay well under $2k including quality optic.  I'm very pleased.

Also love my Bul Armory Tac Pro 5" SS.  Bit more money but also a great shooter.

Been fun to work on breaking through some of my sight confirmation bias and shoot with  more speed using all three of these.

I've always been an aim small guy with hunting rifles so it's been a challenge but I'm enjoying the competition with myself to see how much I can improve times.

I’m a fan of the BUL stuff. We actually had the opp to work with them this year but passed.

Mac’s - I hate the grip. I mean hate it. Other than that it’s a good platform gun to learn on.

Let me know when you want to step into the 5k-9k game.

Last week I had just parked my car in the drive when I see a guy, a neighbor I guess, strolling past my house on the way to the mail boxes. He had on a black t shirt over which he was wearing a double shoulder holster with both slots occupied. 
 

i wanted to ask him why he didn’t feel safe in the neighborhood without them, and letting him know that i had to quickly decide if he was an active threat or not. 
 

do you guys that carry, open carry every damn where?

Edited by Pato del Muerto

I wouldn't carry one ever as he states above.  I'd keep one in the safe, truck gun, etc..  I'm a massive SIG fanboy, first three pistols have been SIG's, but this is a problem.

Think Chevy/GMC 6.2L recall that can bankrupt a company type problem

I don't hate it.  Like the Tac Pro more, but I don't have a lot to compare against.

Have looked at some of the other grip modules but slow to move on that.  I'm not sure I'm ready to start tearing down a 2011 yet.

Not yet comfortable with my own ability there.  I'm good with a rifle or 1911 but haven't yet studied enough to see what the differences are in the 2011 full disassembly / reassembly and what mods might be required of me.

Honestly, the way Sig has handled this sours me on any of their guns.  Clearly, their entire lineup isn't misfiring but their damage control has sucked.
