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.

Seems to be the case, for 2 reasons: rifles were banned by OIC vice pistol freeze was legislation, and rifles aren't be properly compensated for confiscation but handguns are grandfathered.

I’ll never understand who they didn’t go the grandfathering route with the rifles. It would’ve been the politically safe option.

Who knows it may still happen after they are forced to admit the confiscation is a failure.

Grandfathering is a long term confiscation trap either way.

Not to mention that it would never be with use.

It'd be their last grab at building a list and you know they'd try to grab them again down the road.

No disagreement here. This is the easiest way for them to exit the program and wash their hands of the situation.
