THE RZA Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 non-NFA "firearms" are all the craze now in NJ now that a few have been made legal (tactical weapons with a 26.5" OAL, pistol brace and vertical foregrip) Troy Industries just released one 2 months ago as the first "official" one legal in New Jersey.....had the opportunity to shoot one yesterday for a 1000 round torture test. wasn't bad, for $1600 not worth it IMO. just build one. I built a Noveske "firearm" last year for $1400 with much better quality behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 And since we were talking RDS for handguns the other day, here's my M&P Pro CORE. Holosun, Dawson sights, and Storm Lake barrel for when my Form 4s come back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I still want a US Customs 686 but they are stupid money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I still want a US Customs 686 but they are stupid money. I always liked those as well... basically the same as the 586 I just bought, but in stainless. Here's a 3" 686 CS on gunbroker... https://www.gunbroker.com/item/827822920 You're right, stupid money... but most S&Ws are these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Since I am really just after a shooter and want the best performance possible maybe I’ll just have to get a Korth now that Nighthawk is importing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodan Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 For Korth money, you could buy a 686CS and a nice Python and have a shooter and a safe queen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 A nice Python is as much as a Korth now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 There were several 4" Pythons at the local show in the $2000-2200 asking range. One local gunshop took in a really nice 2 1/2" Python this morning... I've been sitting here for an hour scheming a way to buy it. They got one ~ 2 years ago that I probably could have bought for $1900. I'm still kicking myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Frankly a Python is a non starter for me. Can’t really shoot it in volume or it damages value, and even a “shooter” grade gun won’t fly because parts are unobtainable and all the guys who know how to work on one are retired or passed on. An older S&W might be a candidate but I’d do sacrilegious things like put an ACRO P-1 on top etc.... My biggest problem is that I’m used to Freedom Arms level accuracy and durability, and want a DA gun that can match that level of materials and craftsmanship.

rodan Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Time for a thread bump... The 2 1/2" Python my LGS had from the above post was gone by the end of the day... sold for $2700 to the first guy they called after showing it to me. I had already talked myself out of it. I did pick up another S&W... Performance Center K-Comp I really like this thing. Aside from the fact that 3" K frames are just the perfect size, it's got a great action, and the comp works... it's more comfortable to shoot with full house .357 loads (125gr @ 1450) than the 4" 586. Carry load will be a Buffalo Bore 140gr (@1250) solid copper HP... shoots like a .38+p, but still has some wallop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merc6 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Guess I'll do a bump as well. 6906 came back from Smith finally. I'll be nice and just have small clickable pics.

Norm Peterson Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 ^^^ This One of the gun magazines recently ran an article covering several different Henrys. One they missed was the relatively new 'Long Ranger'. Norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Finally bought a proper safe to replace my old, and overflowing, 'security cabinet'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Thinking about building a long range shooty mcshoot stuff gun. Just start buying components over time and then have it assembled. Talk me out of buying a Bighorn Arms TL3 action and building it into a rifle. They hold tight enough tolerances that barrel makers will cut a shouldered pre-fit chambered barrel for those actions sight unseen. So pretty much all I need is a torque wrench (got one), a vise, an action block, and an attachment for the wrench to install a barrel and I could do most of it myself with "go and no go" gauges.

THE RZA Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Been shooting my CZ Scorpion a lot lately, it's a tack driver. 9mm is cheap and I don't care to shoot beyond 50 yards often anymore, the Scorpion is ridiculously accurate in short range. Also surprised the Vortex Sparc-AR dot it came with being impressive. I have a Trijicon MRO and a Leupold RDS on 2 of my AR's, I wouldn't say the Vortex is "just as good" but I'm not itching to replace the Vortex for a more expensive optic.
