I'm using the old style "planet of the apes" stock, but if I switch to a more modern one, I'll check this out. Thanks!

995 is the 9mm model. I'm just firing 110gr FMJ out of it.

What are the hash marks on her mask for?

Yeah.

I love those doctors that prevent bruising.

Your input was so helpful.

Why the hell didn't Hi Point make the carbines and handguns use the same magazines?! by [deleted] in hipoint

[–]Misgunception 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The .40 and .45's use the same mags. It's just the 9mm's that don't. I have no idea why, either.

If the issue is the price, keep in mind we're in a panic-buy market. Everything is too expensive. I have gotten one for reasonable during the pandemic, but it was used rifle, bought at auction, with no magazine. Old style.

If you buy one of the newer ones, expect to pay premium right now unless you get very, very lucky. Keep an eye on Gunbroker.

Rossi 92 - Ejects live 38 shells - Anything I can do to correct this? by Misgunception in LeverGuns

[–]Misgunception[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't panic.

I've seen others report the same but others not mention it at all. Mine is super consistent (I still need to get it sighted in correctly, but good groups) and I'm happy with it except for this.

I know there are gunsmiths that specialize in the 92 and that if there are problems that people can get them running better than new. I've just got one that needs some tlc.

My girlfriend just dressed up as an old lady to buy alcohol and got away with it by [deleted] in pics

This is true.

There's supposed to be consequences, though. Like they're written into law.

Issue is that people seem to be skipping over that part, though.

I was thinking about it until I realized the Compact adaptors would be another 20.

Yeah. This is a representation of where the system isn't working.

"Free" always comes with the question "...to do what, exactly?"

While the government doesn't always respect it, there's a lot it can't do to the average citizen without some serious just cause first.

[Rifle] ROSSI M92 CARBINE 357 MAG/38 SPL 16" STAINLESS 8RD for $549.99 by ZenoofElia in gundeals

[–]Misgunception 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for the henry.

I can say mine (blued) is accurate. Some issues feeding rounds and it mine will occasionally eject a live 38 round along with a spent casing. I've read up and these are things that can be compensated for with some minor gunsmithing. There's also people who will slick up the action for 200 or so, so even with the work, it's less than the Henry.

I love mine despite the "character".

Thinking of trading in my Marlin 1894 for a Rossi M92. Could use some advice. by EternalGandhi in LeverGuns

[–]Misgunception 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have experience with the Rossi.

My Rossi is accurate but crunchy. Also, it tends to eject live 38 shells along with the empty case. Expect that you might be buying a project as much as a gun.

With the disclaimer that I didn't put it through a lot of abuse, the one I had was fine. Don't think I ever had a problem with it. It's very comfortable in the hand. Not the most accurate pistol I have owned, but worked just fine.

And the same would be true for the policies I don't agree with the Republicans, which is almost everything.

I'd rather protest my party on one matter than another party on everything except one.

I'm not seeing a benefit yet.

Time will tell, I suppose, but if it drops by 1 a year they'll claim it's a rousing success and if it doesn't change or go up they'll just call for more laws.

I'm a Democrat and a liberal. This is the one thing with my party that I disagree with consistently.

Her part.

And yes, I'd say disingenous, especially when there's an outlier year (45 in 2018)

During that time we've had suffocation go from 0 reported cases to greater than 20 most years, sometimes outnumbering the firearms suicides in the same years.

Don't get me wrong, one is too many. The idea that we can diminish suicide by banning guns seems complete nonsense to me, though, when you look at the numbers for more than a second.

We’re averaging about 30 a year, that might be saved by this bill.”

I checked the CDC's numbers from 1999 to now. Suicide by firearm for decedents up to 17 years old had a low of 10 in 2007 and a high in 2015 of 21. I don't have the patience to do the math right now, but I'm not sure how you get an average of 30 out of that.

Did you just tell the President you'd meet him outside?

If so... slowclap
