Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - First Firearm Thread.

Not sure it means anything legally. I know any AR lower can be registered as a pistol lower when it's transferred. If it's been built as a rifle, then it can't legally be built as a pistol. A pistol lower can be built into a rifle though. Why bother with the pistol one unless you're building a pistol though.

Cool.
Now makes sense.

Well, i've decided that this Kahr CW45 just isn't going to work for me. It's a little too long in the grip for me to CCW it during the hot days here in FL. Guess I'm gonna sell her and the holster.

Have a look at the PM/CM series from Kahr. A little shorter front to back and top to bottom than the CW lines.

Not a huge fan of the .380 acp (see my last post just above for some proof of that ;) ) but it definitely has its place.

I have the Sig P238 and I love it as a BUG front pocket carry. I have the old single safety.

I used to have an old colt mustang 380, same general design as the Sig. LOVED the feel of that gun. Always wished they made it in a 9mm, I'd buy in a heartbeat.

Never had one. For a range gun or a .22 then it'd be great I'm sure. For a go to war gun maybe not so much. That said, something's better than nothing. Could always use it til u find a alum one

Good point. I'm to the point now that I at least want to get a lower since the only people that have any complete rifles in stock are shops that are pricing them at twice the MSRP :rolleyes:

Re: First Firearm Thread.

Yup. Ill use some of the money toward something smaller, maybe a 380 for pocket carry, then put the left over toward my ar, shotgun or smokes

So much for that DTI lower.
Got the dreaded "sorry to cancel your order but our computer error..........."
Oh well.

Re: First Firearm Thread.

*DOH* .... so close! I wouldn't sweat it... prices should be coming down a bit. Supply won't increase, they're already at max production... but prices should come down as people stop panicking and stop buying at the higher prices... And that guy who picked up 15 lowers last month, "just in case" is going to have 14 of them for sale soon :r

Was considering ordering a Phase 5.
Anyone know anything about them?
Looks nice and at $149, just an 8-12 week wait but don't see that as an issue as not in rush.
