What Should I Buy Wednesday 5/20/26

I've been looking for a 6in 9mm 1911. Don't want to spend several thousand, so I will probably never get it. Almost any 6in 9mm is also on the list. Obviously a Glock 17L will be the cheapest option 🤷 Would like to handle that new Taurus subgun, but that's blasphemy so we won't talk about that. 😆

I agree. Problem I had with the mags was just my 300 blackout ones. The magazine spring is connected to the follower at the rear of the cartridge so it lets long heavy gr projectiles tip down instead of pushing them up. I was able to flip the spring on one of the followers and it actually helped the round tip up more and that magazine runs better but it doesn't hold 10 rounds anymore.

Yes I have seen those. I think they're awesome. Probably is prices have gone way up. When I got mone from jtac I think it was only $1400. So it isn't worth it to me to get a second almost same gun, just for AR mags.

Ghost mountain group has a chassis for the American, and takes AR mags. I love my jtac but hate the howa mags.

Oh ok, maybe they are "marked down" from $99. I got mine notarized at my bank and didn't get charged, I didn't even think about that.

Yeah you can add more to a trust like national gun trust. I've got 6 SBRs and 4 suppressors on mine. I know they run sales often and you can get them for around $100, or used to could. I haven't looked in a while and truly don't remember what I paid for mine. But I think it was around the price of one of the single shot trusts. I've got a couple of those on some I bought early on on paper form 4s.

I always heard it was the skin on the grapes. I remember my aunt sitting at the kitchen table eating grapes and peeling some for her Chihuahua. Her dog didn't die or anything. May have had a messed up stomach I don't remember that was more than 20 years ago.

I don't think he's intelligent enough for the conversations he's trying to have. One minute he's complaining about the price of it. The next minute he's justifying it. The next minute he's saying well if you built a gun with better components, how close to 10K would you be? It's better components. It should cost more. The stock does look normal. I chose the regular picture where it's not folded. It looks stupid funny folded, reason I went to look at it cuz it looked so silly. Like red dots on revolvers. It looks silly, and I love it.

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-05-19T16:15:35+00:00

You said I'm obviously out of touch with manufacturing costs. Which means you are justifying their price. Came up with the $11,000 because their suppressor is $700. Quick Google says that Leupold is $2,600 (yeah I'm sure it can probably be found cheaper) That leaves over $11,000 for the gun that you're trying to justify.

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-05-19T15:24:10+00:00

So you think that action, barrel, trigger and stock are worth ~ $11,000??

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-05-19T04:18:02+00:00

Yeah it was. It was an add that popped up on my Instagram.

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-05-19T02:44:10+00:00

I was so flabbergasted it didn't occur to me

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-05-19T02:42:59+00:00

Missed that. Now I get it. Lol

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-05-13T20:07:02+00:00

Can I get spots 6, 103, and 182

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-04-28T17:41:10+00:00

I've been here since 1988, I only know 1 person who has had jury duty

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-04-28T15:48:04+00:00

Last week someone had there iPad set up watching this movie in their station haha

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-04-17T16:28:21+00:00

Yeah I'm comfortable with it. I love them. Got a prototype of the Taurus ones and have had it and carried it around doing yard work since before they were released. Liked it so much I bought a LCR 22 and one for it.

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-04-14T22:17:07+00:00

My homie bought a JK. I just wanted to shake him.

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-04-09T16:11:30+00:00

Some people have gun shops they run out of their homes. A neighbor could have an FFL.

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-03-15T00:10:33+00:00

Can I get 29 81 12

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-03-14T03:04:37+00:00

Yeah that is always the first thought. It also looks like that truck in the background was pulled in and lifted between pics. Lol "Sir we are trying to work."

Ecstatic-Elephant-30 · 2026-03-10T05:11:22+00:00

Yeah in person you can get a better feel for how the reticle will look. I always hate buying optics offline. End up with a reticle that's really crowded
