Re: S&W BG 380 Take down lever issue

Like DA said, I recently got a Bodyguard 380, SN EAA4xxx. Through about 200 rounds, I have not had a single issue. For self-loaders, we thouroughly clean and then grease slide rails and oil other action parts prior to ever going to the range with a new arm. During this process, and subsequent field...

Re: Question on searches and CHL?

This is a new one to me, I highly doubt this to be true. Why would having CHL be a surrender of our rights to protect us against illegal search, there must be probable cause or a search warrant.
Others will chime in that will set us straight. :biggrinjester:

Re: S&W BG 380 Take down lever issue

Re: "Which One" Kimber or Springfield 45 ACP

Went back to range today and much better results with my Kimber, had to make myself come to terms with the Meprolight Tritium 3-dot night sights. The alignment of the dot on the front sight is deceiving, these are new to me :patriot: Now that I have came to my senses "rlol" when the top of...

Re: "Which One" Kimber or Springfield 45 ACP

I'm not questioning your abilities, but I think you should go back to the range (maybe with different ammo) and try again. Perhaps you might need to become more familiar with those particular sights. Maybe try bench resting the gun to check it's accuracy. Maybe have someone else shoot it to see if ...

Re: Can it be done? L1A Visa

The question is why? He's married to an American citizen. Getting green card is only 3 months process if I recall correctly. No, a Green card is a 2+ Year process that costs over $4,000 in filing fees, etc. I say 2+, because you can get your 'probationary' green card in about 2 years, but it really...

Re: Can it be done? L1A Visa

I will pass this on, I just think it is strange that he can purchase a firearm, seems to me the BG check has to be up to snuff!

Thanks for all those that have responded, :tiphat:

And yes he will be a great addition to Texas :thumbs2: and already is :txflag:
