Did you spend twice as much on an MCX? ——- Regardless of one’s feelings about any specific offering, I have to commend the company leadership on what they’re attempting to do here with these products. According to all of the PSA folks I’ve seen interviewed the CEO has taken the “common use” portion of the Heller decision as a mission statement for the company. The less expensive these offerings are, the more folks will buy them, resulting in higher numbers in circulation, and the harder it will be to claim that they aren’t “in common use” thus making it harder to ban them. You gotta respect that kind of ethos for the running of a firearms company.

They’re going after Sig’s MCX as well with the JAKL. Expected MSRP of around $800. .300 BLK monolithic upper, 7.5” bbl, long stroke piston, non-reciprocating side charging handle, 3 position adjustable gas system, attaches to a standard AR lower.

You can’t properly LARP as John McLane if you can’t do an HK slap.

It’s going after Canik and Ruger Price point and leveraging the Glock aftermarket.

Yep. Hinged. But I imagine you could Apex it pretty easily.

If it really does come in at that price point and is reliable, it is going to steal huge market share from everyone else in the MP5 game. I know I’ll go that way to scratch my John McLane itch.

Essentially, yes. Considering the explosion of “Gucci Glock” manufacturers doing similar things in the last couple of years, my guess is that certain Glock patents must have expired to allow this. It appears to me that instead of going high end Gucci, PSA is staying within their wheelhouse and going the opposite direction to bring to market an affordable pistol built on a proven platform. It’s a genius move if you ask me, the built in aftermarket support has got to be massive right out of the gate.

PSA dropped a couple of big bombs at SHOT. First is that they are introducing a striker fired polymer pistol compatible with most 3rd gen Glock parts for $299 for the base, $350 for one with a threaded barrel, optic cut, and suppressor height sights. In addition they, have announced that the PSA5, their MP5 clone, will be out this year. Projected price is not finalized, but still expected to be below $1200. This places it several hundred below it’s nearest MP5 clone competitors, and over $1500 lower than the just released HK SP5. I swear, I’m not a paid spokesman or anything, but I am excited to see these product releases. PSA is really making some major moves right now that can have some serious market impacts with regards to pricing.

The Americans booby trapped them. Don’t try and load it. Hans lost his thumb that way.

That I do. If it is compatible, that’ll be awesome.

Man, I’d like to give these Holosun’s a try on my Hellcat. I just need one with a compatible footprint. Springfield going with the oddball mounting footprint is really starting to wear on my nerves.

They can still be found pretty reasonable, but I believe that window is closing. I personally have no interest in an LS or other V8 swap, just want something fun, sporty, and older.

On this note, folks shouldn’t be surprised when Trump garners percentages of the black vote not seen in decades for the Republicans. There are 3 pretty reputable polls that have him tracking above 30% with black voters. My gut is that’s probably a bit high, but it wouldn’t shock me to see him get 20% or better in 2020.

I had to abandon the project. It was just too much, and not the right time for me to take it on. I traded it and a little cash for a 93 F150 that actually works instead. I like old crap. New vehicles just aren’t my thing. I am looking for an early 80s Porsche 944 as a fun project car though.

A lot more than inflation happened to car prices. I can’t think of many 2015 cars one could buy for $2525.01 which is the current equivalent of your $400 in 1971 after inflation.

Maine, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Colorado all currently don’t accept the TN Concealed Permit. North Dakota is only today’s addition, not the last.

Thank you for the correction. Appreciate it.

There’s two.

I’m one of the 9 that got hosed in that deal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes. Everyone absolutely should get training and learn how to handle a firearm if they are to carry one. Rights come with responsibilities, but it is up to the individual to meet those. It’s not for the government to set arbitrary hoops to jump through before a right can be exercised.

My first car was a ragged out, beat to piss 1989 Ford Escort. I only had it for about a month as I managed to fall asleep at the wheel and roll it four times side over side. That began a quick succession of super cheap POS cars from buy here, pay here lots. It was a long while before I ever drove a decent car.
