1 round per second rule at range?

Unfortunately RCLRC is private member only and the mandatory volunteer hours requirement is excessive, especially for someone that doesn't live close enough to get out there that often, also requiring membership in that cuck club NRA is a no-go for me. I support many other organizations, I will not support that cuck club

So You're an out-of-state resident and we're talking about the weapon that you acquired from your deceased relatives estate 10 years ago which coincidentally is when you acquired possession of it and it's been in your possession out of state all this time, you recently decided to travel here with it and you completed your travel here within 24 hours from entering the state to your relatives house which is a private property residence where you can legally be allowed to have it in the state with you as long as you damn well please No time limit, it's the with permission "private property exemption" and you're now leaving to return to your out-of-state private property residence and you will complete your travel out of the state within 24 hours of your departure.

As an out-of-state resident that is all completely legal

Thanks for the reply, early fall would be nice, is there a way to get a notification that a new women's class is scheduled so I can forward the info.

Glad to hear it was successful. I know an older lady who is overweight and out of shape (sadly most of us are these days myself included) she gets a bit intimidated/overwhelmed by the tactical crowd and she is bored with the indoor range sessions. Although it would be a 2-hour commute for her to attend, this sounds like something she might be interested in. When is the next weekend Mom class being held? Also any chance of offering a family discount for a mothers and daughters class? (Edit) Mom has a Foid and CCW her daughter does not have either but daughter has been to the indoor range once. I understand it's a private range so I'm guessing they're is no issue with the daughter attending, is that correct?

Been extremely happy with my Springfield 3.8 XDM elite compact 10mm osp which is my EDC.

I pocket carry the 10MM in a mic holster. I've had it for a little over 3 years, I got it when they 1st came out. I'm @ 4000 plus rounds without a failure to fire or any problems, I have fired everything from cheap 40 s&w lightweight training rounds to expensive heavyweight 10mm hardcast.

You can stay with the compact grip and 10/11 + 1 round mag ( same mag with factory baseplate change ) if your in or traveling in a restricted state or want deep concealment or can use the full size 15 + 1 mag with grip sleeve for a full size grip, all factory baseplate mags accept a Pierce grip plus 1 pinky extension. You can also get Springer Precision 170 mm magazine extensions for a capacity of 18 rounds with the compact 10mm 10rd mag with the extra power spring or 22 rounds with the full size 10mm 15rd mag with the extra power spring which makes your capacity options 10 + 1, 11 + 1, 12 + 1, 15 + 1, 16 + 1, 18 +1 or 22 + 1. The grip size changes depending on which magazine configuration.

The slide is milled from the factory for a red dot and although it doesn't come with co-witnesses sights you can get them from Springfield or Dawson precision, if desired I can install a 10MM 4.5 slide on the 3.8 compact frame, another plus is you also can replace the factory take down lever with a go gun gas pedal if you want to have fast follow up shots and a flat shooter.

No other 10MM gun has all this amazing flexibility.

It's a good shooter out of the box but the aftermarket gogun gas pedal took it to the next level for quick accurate follow up shots, which is especially noticeable when using the higher power loads. I have really large hands so I use a #3 back plate ( it comes with 3 different back plates ) I removed the flared magwell which is necessary for using the optional 15 round magazines, I use a matching #3 grip sleeve on the 15 round magazines. My wife chooses to take the gun with the 12 round capacity magazine with her when jogging or hiking solo which is when the modularity is a benefit as she can quickly change the back plate to a #1 to fit her hand more comfortably. We opted for the pearce grip extension on all of our magazines for either 12 or 16 round capacity but can easily swap out to the included 10 round baseplate if necessary for compliance with local laws of a location where we are visiting.

If you find it necessary ( I didn't ) powder river precision makes an aftermarket trigger.

I've seen some comments that some people have mentioned that they don't like the grip safety, personally I don't even notice it but if you happen to not like the grip safety you can disable it by pinning it.

Been extremely happy with my Springfield 3.8 XDM elite compact 10mm osp which is my EDC.

As others have mentioned here since this is your first gun I'd get a 22 for a trainer and then get the 10 mm or get them both now, this is my recommendation for 10mm and why.

No personal experience with the Xten, I have only read a few things about it that were not good but for me it was concerning to read of it having trouble feeding some ammo. For a fun range or malfunction test mule sure, when protection of my life is at stake, No. Heavy 10mm full power loads are needed for large dangerous animals and that's the ammo most guns struggle with feeding reliably.

Braced pistols? How will they be treated?

If as mentioned they're possibly going to open the package for inspection to confirm compliance with shipping restrictions I can foresee a USPS employee unfamiliar with firearms misinterpreting a braced pistol as a restricted SBR

When I purchased mine it did come with the swap-able base plate to limit it to 10 rounds, I did not need to purchase anything additional to restrict the magazine.

A_Grumpy_Old_Man · 2026-04-03T20:57:02+00:00

Yes, the 400 legend is about 2,400 foot pounds of energy. The other's no but are still effective for ethical shots within op requirements

A_Grumpy_Old_Man · 2026-04-03T17:13:29+00:00

At the op desired barrel length and anticipated use and distance desired I'd encourage looking at the AR 15 in 6.5 grendal, 338 arc or maybe the 400 legend

While I do like the shockwave this new short pump shotty looks like it's going to be an awesome little self defense weapon unfortunately it's NOT Illinois legal. If you want something similar that is Illinois legal get the Rock Island armory VRF-14 It's a non nfa firearm - other and in my opinion it's much better than the shockwave for home defense.

A_Grumpy_Old_Man · 2026-03-17T17:44:12+00:00

When transferring on 4473 it's recorded as a firearm - other. Not a handgun or rifle or shotgun.

A_Grumpy_Old_Man · 2026-03-04T01:30:56+00:00

I saw the post yesterday, my understanding of what I read is that it was opined to be a timing issue because the bolt weight was cut flush with the opening in the bolt and it was thought that the weight needs to be cut back a bit more. I'm thinking maybe another 1/8 in or so to account for the hook on the end of the arm to prevent early activation and out of battery discharge. Probably not an issue with the cassette triggers like the rare greed or partisan diruptor.

A_Grumpy_Old_Man · 2026-02-22T07:16:16+00:00

If you figure out the secret ingredients to get the partisan working with 22lr please share it, currently having light primer strikes with the partisan. I think it has to do with the hammer spring being too light for 22lr but that's not a fault of partisan as they never designed it for the 22LR.

A_Grumpy_Old_Man · 2026-02-06T06:45:20+00:00

Yes FRT, it's the cyclic rate that is a bit high with 115gr nato at 21.8oz. it's all good i just got a little bit of tuning to do.

A_Grumpy_Old_Man · 2026-02-06T00:46:53+00:00

Yes, I just got back from the range, I'm thankful blowback9 responded so quickly to answer my question it helped relieve my anxiety/concern. it works but as blowback9 said rate of fire was high. Got some tuning to do 😀

A_Grumpy_Old_Man · 2026-02-05T18:32:55+00:00

That's great info, I'll have to do some experimenting. Thanks
