Dont know what your 'thing' you referred to may be, but the answer is almost always keep it and add the other I love my FNX-T, very accurate and reliable. Great suppressor host. The only knock some may have on it is the grip. It's on the larger side and its more tactical brick than meant to complement the human hand. I'd say look at the HK's pretty hard. The HK45 series are great guns, shoot equally well, and easily modified. Their 45T is ergonomically superior imo. Some may prefer brick over finger grooves, definitely a choice, but the non USP is designed with the human hand in mind. If you like the brick feel, then USP.

Don’t live there to know the shops, but Sportsman’s Warehouse has some assorted parts. Some are in kits. Generic or bargain name brands in many cases. Prices are not bargain name though

Generally i’ve not really seen much offered in south east TN, albeit only a 5 years sample of time. The population is just too small Agree volume is down recently. But I see it as consistent with the usual cycle where fear drops and we enter into a glut, then prices drop. AR’s are a good indicator of overall market condition IMO. Notice discounts and rebates are also coming back post pandemic driven shortages and pricing. I attribute it to the favorable SCOTUS decisions and easing laws, the election while favorable as well wasn’t the main driver with this trend starting over a year ago as rulings began to have effects. With the pricing drop, flippers went away and owner sellers are less inclined to sell. Had the election gone the other way, those holding would have sold into the fear increase…so barring a fear driver…don’t expect it to change much in the next couple years.

imo it’s a bit more than competition. Smith sat on its laurels, don’t correctly build to the old standard, and decided to drop all q/a. While Colt has put a concerted effort into its revolvers and has surpassed Smith with out-of-the-box build. And of course, there is that silly lock thing

I love compensated guns. When I saw Colt decided to drill ports into the Anaconda, I knew I end up with one. And here it is. I will say I am impressed with the build quality they are now delivering. Some may recall the Anaconda I had posted here a year ago or so which had to go back home for timing and barrel cant corrections. Colt did a fantastic job taking care of it, but left me of the opinion that they still had production bugs to work out. Happy to report this Kodiak is perfect in every way. Not only is the build quality spot-on, but the action is even a little slicker than the Anaconda's was. Very much looking forward to seeing how it shoots

There were many ways to read or perceive Harris's concession. And I trust one's lense is influenced by many factors. I won't debate anyone's take, that is theirs to own. She spoke well for the most part. She ticked boxes I expected. Threw pointed barbs with less provoking, carefully worded phrasing... as expected. And a promise of cooperation, as expected, having no other choice without being obviously hypocritical. However, she was speaking directly to her supporters only, not the nation or the other 51+ % as was evident in many sections and "this is not what you voted for". While giving lip service to transition so the can make reference of the 'tyranny' of 4 years ago...again a barb expected. The calls for fighting and active resistance from the usual sanctimonious position of the democratic party. They will fight for constitution... AFTER they kill 2A (having called out the need for gun control) and shape it to what they and her supports feel it should be, not what the nation thinks it should be. Interpretations are subjective. I would not call what I saw gracious exactly. Rather a well structured product of some smarter people than those that were running (which she presented well). With notice they they will be coming in 4 years and will be resisting the entire time. Game on.

Thanks! Turned it on, got some popcorn in the microwave. Darn, too early for bourbon

I am sure they want to avoid the overt hypocrisy not conceding would show. She may not want to, but they must in order to keep the illusion up for their followers. The curated statements are probably taking longer to craft than expected. The Trump win means the country is not as delusional as they originally thought, so they have to come up with some new spin.

I’ve never watched these, not news until it’s called. I’m looking forward to the concession speech. That I will watch. Because liberal tears are delicious

Markets agree. DOW futures up 1,300 / over 3% !

This is the kind of clever you don't get on just any forum.

Thanks Scotty, good lookin out! Geissele mixed it up this year. They did their blem sale for 4th of July. All the triggers in this price range were $122.50, so this is better! I got a couple back in July. And though I absolutely don't need the stack of unused triggers to get taller, hard to say no.

Most folks generally love the 2S. I've heard many say its on-part with the SSA-E. And it's extremely unpopular not to rave about them, similar to all things Ed Brown (as I found out). I have a couple of them. I tried the first one. I did not find that one on-par with my SSA-E's. It's fine. It's less than $100, and I think that helps the opinions. Production variation possibly, I understand some can take break in. Absolute improvement over milspec, good price point for a quality made product. Maybe a hair over-hyped (flame suit on) compared to the benchmark triggers folks like to compare it to. I'd say buy the SSA-E during the blem sale or the super sales Geissele occasionally has. Black Friday is coming.... they will likely be around $135ish. Worth it IMO. I admit, I am a trigger snob. All that said, I know where you can get a deal on a MBT-2S. Only installed one and dry fired a few times
