SCV, register on the cmp forum and keep tabs on the north and south store forums. There are a few guys there that are pretty good about updating what’s on hand in the stores. To get the best possible, you’d have to go to the store. They have two, one at Camp Perry Ohio and one in Aniston/Oxford Alabama. You can buy in store, then ship to your house.

No more buy in store and ship home unless you have a plane ticket. Now you pay the 10% sales tax and walk out with it.

I hear you, and I don't. I use two options with my 1911's, and it's a "to each his own" thing:
(1) Full mag, empty pipe, and it's draw & rack.
(2) Full mag, one in the pipe, and at the half-cock. For this one, practice drawing and getting the hammer back simultaneously.


Best I got.

I've always been interested in this discussion. My primary defensive situation is street crime, particularly at night. I can't imagine having time to rack a slide. I figure 3 things have to happen to fire a 1911 assuming the thumb safety is on. Lately I've been carrying a Glock which takes more trigger pull but only requires one action to fire. I really think that with the 1911 there is a mental thing about seeing that exposed hammer pulled back even with two safeties.

Agreed. I have a compact Glock, and a compact 1911, as my OD carry options To me, it comes down to the best balance of safety, speed, and comfort with my choice. For me, with my 1911 it’s one in the pipe and half cock. So I practice drawing under that condition with both strong and weak hand hammer pulls Hopefully I never have to find out if it works.

The only thing I'll say is bump stocks are like really sweet, rich, chocolate candy. It's fun the first time but gets old fast. I've had the opportunity to shoot a fully automatic rifle but many haven't so it gives some the opportunity to experience what's close to full auto fire. I don't care personally one way or the other whether they ban them or not.

If someone wants to shoot full auto there are numerous gun ranges in the Nashville area that will accomodate. Probably cheaper than a bump stock.

I think slide fire stocks are silly, myself. However, I fully support people’s right to own them. I’m not one of these gun owners who is ok for certain things to get banned, as long as they don’t touch what I’m interested in, for this moment. You know, like when the ban came down on the Russian surplus 5.45 round, no one said jack. Then let them try to ban the M855 5.56 round and people lost their ****.

Y’all conservatives need to get your long game in order because they’re killing you with a death of a thousand cuts. It’s slide fire stocks now, tomorrow it’s your precious AR-15. You better wake the **** up.

I honestly never knew how it got approval from the ATF to begin with.

Mainly because it changes nothing with the firearm. Its just like the late 80’s and 90’s with the fud deer hunters and the like. “Why do people need those there tactical rifles?” As long as they leave their deer rifles and shotguns alone, they didn’t care. Either we all stand up together and say no, or we will all hang separately. I don’t know how many times it has to be said, there is no finish line with these people. It’s complete disarmament or nothing with them. As you see, they don’t mind eating an elephant bite by bite.

So I agree that while I don’t really care about an item I support other people’s right to own them generally.

But honestly this one item is a flyer that never should have been exempted from type II classification in my opinion. That’s just my opinion though and I do respect yours.

SBRs, silencers, etc... fully agree and fully support each persons right to own even though I don’t personally want one.

I feel the same way. Like I've said, their plan is a 50-100 year plan. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

With all due respect, there shouldn’t be any kind of classifications. Either we have the right to arms or we don’t.
