Buy recommendations With the coming supreme court decision, I'm thinking about pistols.

Years ago, my license was up for renewal. While waiting for my renewal, my license expired. It only took 9 months, lol.

Unfortunately during that time, the OIC happened, and I missed out on all the cool pistol sales.

What with not being able to buy anything since then, I haven't really given attention to the world of new things. I understand we're on the glock Gen 6 now? Used to have a Gen 4. Loved it.

Maybe the supreme court bails us out, all this nonsense goes away and we can go shopping again. So what's new in the world of pistol? I have hope that sometime soon I'll be able to buy something, what should I be putting money aside for?

Anything a with a 10 or less capacity, I hate knowing I'm wasting space with pinned mags.

Handguns are never coming back sadly. I mean, without a conservative majority, it just won't happen, and even then, it depends on who gets elected. If Pierre can't pull it together, I can see a future where Ford runs and wins, but I can't imagine Doug bringing handguns back.

It sucks because I shot multigun on Saturday and I was the only one without a pistol.

I'd say short term, you're probably right. But long term, who knows. You're only thinking about current people. Longer term, demographics change, parties change, leaders change.

How's it going in Australia and Europe?

I mean, super long term anything can happen, but I'd like to still be alive and well when it changes.

Ford wil be in his mid sixties at the next election, even if the conservatives get their shit together and boot Pierre.
