Re: First Firearm Thread.
 
I'm really having a tough time figuring out my new Kel Tec P11.

They have a reputation for needing a lot of "fluff and buff" before being ready for carry.

I've put 50 rounds through it and had 2 misfeeds, which apparantly goes away after break in.

Someone suggested I field strip it and buff and polish the feed ramp with a dremel, which I did last night. Haven't gotten to test it yet.

I've put some Militec 1 grease on the slide rails as well as breach and that helped a lot with the stiffness.

I'm not sold yet on this 9mm, although several people recommended it as the lightest and smallest possible concealed weapon. Might just sacrifice the weight issue and stick with my trusty old 357 magnum....

Get a S&W J-Frame .38spl + p. It allows for a faster followup shot compared to the 357 magnum. :)

I bought a P3AT as a back up carry and I polished the feedramp with a dremel and so ultra fine polishing compound I also worked some slip 2000 EWL oil into the slide rails and have not had any feed issues since. I have about 750 or so rounds through it. I don't shoot this much as it is my back up(as if my HK would ever fail).:ss

Jordan,

Is that IWB holster comfortable with the two straps?

Yes.

It's a Milt Sparks VM2. Probably one of the best holsters I've found. Period.

They're hand made and take about 6 to 10 months to get once you order though :(

I finally shot my new Beretta 92FS Stainless today, and I love it. Even my wife was able to put 20 rounds center mass from 15 yards. What a great gun.

That is BS how you have to get a permit first to buy a gun. Get a Glock 20 10mm. They are extremely fun.

Lotta Sig owners here. Those are the Rolls Royces of handguns in my opinion.

I was at the range yesterday and it seems the economy has brought a good amount of them in for resale or something.

I'm trying to resist, but they are just so darn nice.....

It looks like everyone is stocking up on guns :D For those that don't know, the 4473 form is the form you fill out when you purchase a gun. It is used to run the background check on you.

http://www.atf.gov/firearms/010609at...age-notice.htm

January 6, 2009


Notice to All Federal Firearms Licensees
Regarding ATF Form 4473 Shortage

As a result of an unprecedented increase in demand for ATF Forms 4473 (5300.9) Part I Revised August 2008, inventory of the form at the ATF Distribution Center is running low.

As a temporary measure, ATF is allowing FFLs to photocopy the form 4473 in it’s entirety until they receive their orders from the ATF Distribution Center.

A notice will be posted at the expiration of this temporary authorized change.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 
The processing on the CCW is apparantly backlogged to almost 4 monts as well...

After a month with my new Kel Tec P11, I found that you need to be an amatuer gunsmith as out of the box, they aren't ready.

I had to polish and dremel the feed ramp and do a fluff and buff inside, smoothing the rail and breechface as there were several burrs and rough spots.

The accessories are on and I put the mag extender, trigger shoe, and the belt clip is the best.

With the belt clip, there is no holster needed and the gun is no more intrusive than a Blackberry and I hardley know it's there...

I am not sure. Assault rifle is a bulls--t term. Assault rifle means that the rifle is fully automatic. A semi-automatic rifle is not an assualt rifle. I would register over on AR15 and ask the guys in the NJ hometown forum. I would hate living in NJ. Good luck sir!

Thanks!! Since I couldnt edit my post, those are

Maverick88 (basically a budget version of the Mossberg 500, shoots great!)
Bersa Thunder 380 Duo-Tone (Great concealed small gun)
Sig P220 (vintage 1997, best vintage I think, folded steel slide shoots like a dream)
Sig P250 (love this thing. For all the bad press, its the best trigger I've owned. Just wish sig would hurry up with the subcompact conversions)

The feathery thing on the stock is used to alleviate the pain in your cheek as you look thru all 30 scopes, sights and other various sighting implements. That or it got caught in the persons disco suit cause the shiny ball was broken and they needed lights
