^^^This. It's hard for me to justify a expenditure of that size that doesn't go bang. Kinda the same reason I haven't gotten an OTF blade as of yet.

I would think that if they produce a firearm made for a specific chambering, logic would dictate that it should cycle the ammo just fine being that it's a modern produced firearm. I'm more referring to commercial .357 and not so much handloads that'd make Dirty Harry jealous, haha.

Never messed with this rifle in particular, but if it's anything like all the other Uberti's I've shot/played with, it's a VERY well put together piece.

Holler at us when that comes back about if at all. Some of us might be interested in close range knife fighting. :)

  That is an amazing feat in itself. They're priced right on their high-end stuff but their nickle and dime(mostly ammo) stuff makes you wanna laugh in their face. It's good to know that they don't break it off in ya on everything.

That sucks man, I hope you didn't give too much for it. I've read nothing but good things about that weapon and pretty much all agree that the trigger is garbage. It's not meant though to be a precision weapon, it's a utilitarian rugged bullpup rifle built specifically to operate in the desert so one can expect that it would have a crap trigger from the get go. All that linkage makes for terrible pull, that being said the Tavor(TAR-21) is still as short, or in some cases shorter, as most SBR platforms yet retains a longer barrel so it can get maximum effectiveness with a basic 5.56 cartridge at closer ranges and not need specialty rounds(Mk262 mod0 and the like).

A knife for my Birthday? You shouldn't have... ;)

False, see above post. :D

Yeah, exactly. Had it been a Magpul VFG, no issue would've been had but because alot of people see the SLIGHTLY(And I use this loosely) lower price, they choose it instead. In the aforementioned case, it was a poor decision. He has no leg to stand on against KelTec and he MIGHT win against ProMag. Guess we'll see how that one plays out. I've never understood how people justify Promag products when Magpul is a VERY much superior animal for maybe a couple dollars more.

Never was a fan of their products and after this, I'm inclined to say, "hell no." I realize that it's not a magazine issue, just more of a issue with the company's products is all.   http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/08/15/man-files-suit-kel-tec-promag-shooting-accident/

The trooper fed you this...

I done caught me some Ebola, took some Nyquil to subside it. Everyone knows that there Ebolur hates Nyquil...

The trio of survivors made their way over to the west side of the abandoned area. Julie began to look frightened, "What do you think happened here?" Without turning to look at her Jeb answered, "Overrun from the looks of it, though likely from the inside from someone who was bitten and admitted to where there was a lot of fresh meat, a hospital tent." Julie asked, "And where are we?" Jack answered her this time, "Looks like a logistics and security. If they got left behind, there may be some sweet toys left here. Look around and see what you can find." The three looked throughout the area and found several things that were useful, including a topographical map of the area and the state, enough radios for the five of them, a compass with tritium dials, a pair of binoculars, several cases of water and MRE's, a crate of NATO STANAG magazines, and several ammo cans containing ammo one of which, contained HE 40mm grenades.   Jeb called over Jack to look at something. When he got to it, he couldn't help but smile. It was locked but completely loaded weapons rack and they have the ammo cans and mags to service these weapons. There were six M4A1 carbines with M68 CCO's, two M16A4 rifles with M150 RCO's, and two M16A4's with the M203 grenade launcher attachment and iron sights. Jeb looked at Jack and said, "These guys were alot more ready than just containment. I get the feeling that their superiors had an idea of what they were up against." Jack nodded in agreement, "Yeah, what was their obj..." Before he could finish his sentence the two of them heard a blood curdling scream. Jack thought the absolute worst and spun around to see Julie fending off one of 'them' keeping it at arms length. Jaws snapping and popping trying to get to their easy meal. Jeb readied his PS90 and shouted to Julie, "STEP TO YOUR LEFT" She was experiencing a heightened state of panic and couldn't hear anything, not even her own scream in fear. Jack didn't even think about it, he ran straight for her and put the maw of his suppressor to the head of her assailant and discharged his weapon. The body fell with a slump, "Keep your filthy hands off my sister you b%stard." Jack felt the very same righteous rage he felt the night that he happened upon Mary's body. The thought of her corpse crossed his mind, making him grit his teeth, "You already got one, like @#$% you're getting the other." Jack legitimately hated 'them' with every fiber of his being. He aimed his long gun at the head of his downed target and let loose two more rounds followed by a quick spit to its body to show his disdain.   Jack let his weapon fall and let the sling do it's job, "Julie are okay? Did it bite or scratch you anywhere?" She said "No..." in a hushed whimper and then began to cry. Just then Tay and Sarah rounded the corner to see what had transpired, both lowered their weapons once they saw no immediate threat. Sarah walked over to Julie and hugged her from the side, Sarah asked, "What happened?" Julie answered in between her sobs, "Jeb was showing Jack something and I was looking for other stuff we could use and heard something behind me and then..." She began to cry again, Sarah shot Jeb and Jack both a look of disapproval borderline anger. Jeb pointed at Jack as to say 'It's his fault'. Jack caught on to his ploy, "What the hell man?" Jeb just smiled, "Well that could've been alot worse. But on that note, we hit the @#$%ing jackpot!" Jeb led the rest of them over to their newly discovered stash and they stood in front of the rifle rack looking on in awe. Tay let loose a low toned whistle, "Well that ought to boost our net-worth." he said with a smile.

Welcome to our little dark corner of the interwebs cousin. 

Prayers with the families afflicted...     Yep, they've got the Type 97 and 97A which are 5.56 variants of the QBZ97/97A that accept STANAG mags. Canada is sorta like Australia, each municipality has their own set of laws, some more lax than others. Canada is very similar to the US in that regard. Oh, they also don't have SBR regs because of some uppity douches from the 1930's.

Yep, locked, cocked, ready to rock. Condition 1 is the only way to carry. A crazed knife wielder can clear 21 feet in a couple of seconds easily, those are seconds you could have spent acquiring a target rather than charging your weapon.

It all boils down to revenue for the state, they REALLY like their money.

Yep, with the release of this pistol brace, it kinda kills the SBR thing for me. Not entirely, but it sure curbs that appetite for one.

Yeah, that's the frightening part...  :ugh:

Try thinking of Adam Sandler's Billy Madison saying "Oh my god". ;)

dr;be (did read, brain exploded)

Where did you source your masks from might I ask? It's hard to find the cheap commie block stuff anymore and all the western NATO stuff is pretty pricey.
