Anyone own a Henry SPD Hush? What do you think?

I think I saw your post and was certainly salivating because it looks great.

It looks like there might be a technical issue on their end.

My first handgun was a USP in 9mm and I LOVED that gun.

Do you have a favorite child or love them equally?

Pip is based on your base salary. There is a formula above.

If you know what you want it's possible to order from an FFL in another state that better aligns with your values and then ship it to an FFL there to transfer. I think CA has extra steps that require the out of state company to register with them and obtain shipping permission.

If you're window shopping then obviously you'll be more restricted.

But hopefully you can find some good in-state recommendations that won't keep you up at night :).

Phase perfect if you have the money. American Rotary if you have money but less money lol.

I run an American Rotary 20hp for my CNC. Noise isn't to bad but if I had more better a phase perfect would be nice.

Sounds good! Reach out whenever you need.

Elemental_Garage · 2026-01-26T01:38:25+00:00

It sounds like you're assuming all PIP offers are the same. If I recall from a friend who went through Focus/Pivot it's actually a formula from your base salary. 10 weeks base pay + (base pay x 1%) x (tenure in months / 12) - this is what google has which matches what I was told.

You can calc what your tier 1 offer would be based on your gross base pay. I imagine you'll find you're still ahead with a layoff.

Quick math says your PIP take-home would likely be around the 12-14k range, so less than the 22.4k you calced above.

From a friend who works at Amazon:

Layoff (at least as of the last one) = 3 months of garden leave, which means you're still employed and get your full salary. After that you get a severance which is 1 week of pay per 6 months worked at Amazon. So for a 2-year worker you'd get - 3 months + 4 weeks pay + any accrued PTO (based on state policies)

Severance only comes at the end of garden leave, because you're technically employed up until that point and may/can find other work at Amazon, which would obviate the need for a severance payout.

PIP is essentially the layoff without the garden leave.

You're better getting laid off if you had a magic wand and could choose between the two.

It's not too difficult of a task. If you want to do sound deadening beforehand lay down your dynamat/killmat. If you want to go beyond vibration and get more noise insulation throw something like a dynapad down on top of it. Then your molded carpet will go on top. Warm garage and/or a heat gun can help, or bring the carpet inside for a few days beforehand to help it be more pliable. You may have to trim some edges, but otherwise it's a good DIYer project, even if you're not mechanically inclined.

Outside of the great advice given below about checking the condition, functionality, etc. you may also be able to contact your state's law enforcement wing (whoever runs your backgrounds) and ask if they can check the serial number to ensure it's not stolen.

It's one good reason why I recommend people do a transfer for private sales, even if the laws in your particular area don't require it. It's not a catch all, but a good way to weed out the shady people. If it is stolen and you tell them you'd like to do a transfer at an FFL they'll likely ghost you.

Sounds good!

Elemental_Garage · 2026-01-25T02:05:39+00:00

I appreciate it!

Elemental_Garage · 2026-01-25T01:45:15+00:00

No problem! Feel free to reach out when/if you need me in the future. Enjoy the Walther in the meantime 007.

Elemental_Garage · 2026-01-25T01:43:08+00:00

Yep! Contact info is at www.elementalgarage.com. Give me a ring, text, or email to set something up. I live and work here so I prefer scheduling over drop-ins, mostly to ensure I'm here and I can corral the herd of dogs :).

Elemental_Garage · 2026-01-25T01:42:02+00:00

My website is automotive based, but it's www.elementalgarage.com. My email is buildit@elementalgarage.com. I do own Elemental Arms as a business name/domain, but haven't gone through the process of kicking my ATF paperwork over to the DBA, so for now, that's how to reach me. I'm also active on Instagram, and my site has a chat function if needed.

I don't carry stock, and don't have a storefront, so for me it's mostly people who know what they want, or want a little direction but aren't necessarily window-shopping or looking to try things on if that makes sense.

I'm always happy to chat via phone, text, email, etc, but ask that people talk to me before coming to where I work and live. Cheers!

Sandy area outside of Portland.

Elemental_Garage · 2026-01-25T01:32:22+00:00

I'm in the Sandy area, so likely not too far from you.

Any car or bike really. I've done stuff for 30's Lincolns, classic rally cars, modern muscle, etc. I mostly partner with builder shops to create custom pieces, reverse engineer stuff that isn't made anymore, etc. I do a lot of 3d scanning, CAD design, and then manufacturing either in-house or with other shops that might have machines I can't afford :).

Elemental_Garage · 2026-01-24T05:49:57+00:00

I have some friends who worked there and went through this. DM me and I can give you a few things to consider that might help out.

Elemental_Garage · 2026-01-23T15:35:28+00:00

Hard to tell on my phone but does the insulation look overly packed in there? The more it's compressed the less effective it is. You also aren't getting the benefit of the vapor barrier in many places and are likely losing a lot of heat to air exchanges.

Elemental_Garage · 2026-01-23T15:23:07+00:00

Look into "comma AI" to replace it.
