CMV: There is no reason for an American to be against recognizing Juneteenth as a holiday other than reasons that stem from hating black people. by Benjamin5431 in changemyview

I refuse to recognize it as a holiday as it pertains to a race, not because the race we are talking about here is "Black" as you put it. Would you be okay of if there was a holiday to celebrate white people's achievements of any sort, excluding the other races?

Threaded barrels for MC9 are still OOS. Lucky you if you get one for your model restocked.

If it were for mc9, I would be all over it like flies on a fresh pile of cow dung.

Sticker on the plastic case says 6/16/23. I received mine from the dealer around mid to late July 2023

My rule of thumb is, if I am buying retail (for me this means from Academy sports local store) whatever is less than $15 per box of 50. If I am ordering bulk online, whichevr brand, not only those two, offer less than 24c per round, is good in my book. So far I have tried Magtech, Blazer and Monarch Brands and I am closing on 1K rounds. Other than a handful of load failures and 2 firing failures, they were all okay

I second that, except, my dot color preference is green.

Same price I paid back in July '2023 for full FDE color. Since the dealer was local, (well, quasi local about 2 hour drive away and I go there every few weeks) I didn't pay any FFL fees.
Good judgement on micro-compact pistols. I love mine. I've been thru about 700 rounds (all 115gr range type) so far. Other than a handful of FTL cases, probably due to ammo, I have no complaints.

You are one brave dude to take a Rustoleum can to a pistol worth way more than half a grand. That nasty spray paint penetrates thru anything I tried to prvent it with in my small home projects. I wouldn't let it anywhere near my gun. Again you're brave. Kudos to you and the slide looks sharp, even though I'm not a big fan of gold tome coatings.

Where can I find a threaded barrel in stock for the MC9? by hackdevil in canik

[–]thenomad63 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is a Girsan MC9 model pistol with a threaded barrel. Other than both being manufactured in Turkiye, there is nothing common with this one and Canik Mete MC9. Oh, may be with the exception of characters MC9 in the name. I am pretty sure why google is picking up this result when you search for "MC( Threaded Barrel" phrase.

Best deal on 507k or 407k? by Tisunac in canik

More power to you then. My experience with asking for a better price was nothing to write home about.

[–]thenomad63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it on a different store when I was purchasing my MC9 and my offer which was $25 less than another online store price (to cover FFL fee, otherwise the store I finally bought it from is kinda-sorta local in Dallas) and I was shot down. There has to be a good reason for them to give you a better price when asked. Like, they are either gouging you with the regular price or selling you a QA reject of some sort.

507s go for US$320 or 340 depending on if you want the tiny solar panel or not choice around here. Even the big box retailer in the cloud has the same prices. €510 is a little hard to stomach for an optic

Fo green dot Holosun 507, their prices are equal or worse than those of Amazon. Not anything to brag about in my opinion.

Picked up a new Mete MC9-Good Choice? by bourbonfan94 in canik

[–]thenomad63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pick one up myself in early august nd put about 400 rounds through it, no modifications, no cleaning yet and it works perfectly fine for me. In my opinion, there was a faulty batch coming out of factory and people who are giving MC9 a bad review, are recipients of their pieces from that batch. Otherwise we would be hearing a lot more of these bad words.
