Well this is interesting. A suppressor with what sounds like moving parts. I'm very interested in seeing more from this as it becomes available. https://www.recoilweb.com/state-of-the-art-with-mad-minute-suppressors-146133.html

I think the state is starting to put the squeeze on internet retailers.

According to their instagram and the Scorpion Facebook group, they have already shipped the first batch. I personally don't like the micro or k conversions because I think they are too small. But I also think its amazing that a company saw what the aftermarket was doing and they said, hey, we can offer that from the factory. I love my scorpion SBR. You will love the thing.

Purchased a Tokarev T33 just recently. It was listed as Military Surplus and used. Didn't try for any special pick of 5, (or was it 10). Just wanted a firing example. I received as good an example as I had not expected. It looked more like un-issued stock to me. No marks of any kind. I'm extremely happy with what I received.

Thanks for adding me to the group. I'm relatively new to TN; I retired here to Wayne County almost a year ago. I'm retired from the Air Force since '93, and more recently from a position with a defense contractor company.

As a diehard CZ fan, I'm surprised that it doesn't do much for me. I'll happily stick with my Scorpion Evo 1.

I didn't try those exactly, but I did try heavier bullets (64gr SSA by Nosler, 69gr Match PPU, and 75gr Hornady Freedom) that I had bought on sale a while back that I keep for testing. The groupings did tighten up with the heavier bullets, as you would expect. The 75gr was about nickle sized groupings at 25 yards, unsupported. Very good, but it would be too expensive for me to only shoot 70+gr ammo out of just this gun. The barrel I am looking at is under $200 with a 1:8 twist and a .223 Wylde chamber. So that will allow me to get similar groupings with 55gr ammo (since my 18" 1:8 .223 Wylde rifle does just that), and save money in the long-run.

I’m excited to see the Jaeger. An affordable, relatively lightweight, direct thread .30 caliber suppressor would likely sell pretty well.

I was talking to some friends the other day and we were discussing online orders and they compared a price to another and said something about tax. I told them that my policy has always been to assume that they will charge me tax and then just be pleasantly surprised if they didn't. I never let that influence my decision of who to do business with because they are just trying to cover their tails.

Colt 1903 are the shizznit.

have you tried some surplus 62gr (ala green tip)...its usually not very expensive...might be worth testing before making the switch.

I disagree with DaveTN on this. Cops aren't there for you. They work for the prosecutors. I bet its a rare occurrence for a defense attorney to have a cop as a star witness. But the prosecutors sure will. Don't give the cops/prosecution anymore than you absolutely have to until you have an advocate of your own.

Naw, Sherf. Ahh ain't seen no revenur round hurh.

Actually, I really don't have much interest in an AR in this caliber. I'm just not much of an AR guy. What I'm waiting for is a more or less standard, straight stocked, semi-auto in 350. I'm thinking Ruger's Mini-14 would be ideal. That is IF its accurate. Something that the Mini-14 is noted for lacking. If it can't regularly do 1" or less at 100 yards, I wouldn't be interested. A handy trapper length lever action would be nice too. I'll just wait a while and see where the 350 lands.

Carried one of these for awhile, but went through several .380s since. Then I bought a Smith M&P .380 EZ. So much easier to rack than ANY of the others, and shoots like a bigger gun. You should take a look at those. With a good pancake holster, will conceal nicely too. Only problem I had was once my wife found how easy it was to rack and load, she wanted it. Guess I need to buy a second one.

FIFY lol

I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggles with that. It takes way more effort than I think it should to convince myself to not worry about it. A guy I know carries a G19X IWB. The butt of the pistol sticks way out and to me, it's comically obvious. Yet no one seems to notice or care. I see that and wonder why I have to talk myself into wearing the 9 on my belt (which is nearly invisible by comparison) instead of the 380 in my pocket. That aside, I'd agree that the tomcat is quite wide by current standards. Give the Shield 380 EZ a look.

I've never been very fond of the little Berettas. While they are small, they tend to be wide. To me it feels like you've got a baseball stuck in your pocket. That also makes it difficult to get out quickly. If you get a 3032, buy it new. The early versions had problems with the slide cracking. They fixed this in the later models by making the slide even wider. The .32acp isn't a bad little cartridge. I have several guns in that caliber. However, you can get .380s in the same size package and its a much better caliber for self defense. Not to mention that good self defense ammo is much more available and cheaper. If racking the slide is the problem, I'd suggest a locked breach style .380 such as the Colt Mustang, Sig P238 or Kimber Micro. (BTW: they're all pretty much the same gun. Just different prices. ) The locked breach design requires a much lighter recoil spring than on blowback .380s. They're much easier to rack and have lighter recoil when fired. However, they are basically scaled down 1911s and are best carried cocked and locked. If you're looking at .32s due to recoil sensitivity, I'd suggest a small frame revolver in .32 S&W Long, .32 H&R magnum or .327 Federal. The 327 will also fire the .32 Long and H&R with no problem as will the H&R fire the S&W Longs. My wife had arthritis in her hands and for her the answer was a 2" S&W Model 30 in .32 Long. She loved that little gun and could shoot it quite well. The recoil was very light and didn't bother her at all.

Always great to see someone work hard and be appreciated.

I would say there have been more than a few exhibition shooters that used special purpose custom made ammunition to aide in their ability and effects. I was fortunate enough to see the late Bob Munden perform two shows. Both shows were done indoors so he mentioned all of his loads were wax and black powder. One of the tricks he did was load two rounds then quick draws and fires both rounds so fast they sound like one shot. Then to step it up he has two balloons set up about 5 yards in front of him and about 8-10 feet apart. He loaded two rounds and then quick draws, firing both rounds and bursting both balloons almost simultaneously. They may have booth burst simultaneously as that it happen too fast to really tell. While he did have a skill level unlike most to draw and shoot very quickly his was aided in hitting the balloons by the fact he used black powder. The 45 long colt black powder loads would produce a lot of unburnt powder that exited the muzzle like shotgun pellets thus bursting the balloons with quite a bit room for point of aim error. However he still did it amazingly fast and with his usual Bob Munden nothing to it style. And to step it up a notch here it is with a Bond Derringer less the quick draw.

My great grand dad. I don't have a clue what the guns are.

I got a shock today when placing an order with Midway, they've started adding sales tax to their orders. I placed an order in Nov. and had no tax added so this much have started this year. I wonder if it's just a Midway thing or if all on-line sellers are going to have to include taxes ( I know they're supposed to but most don't)
