Well, you double-stamped that bad boy with your suppressor application, so that’s $400 you sent the ATF that they don’t deserve.

This board always has such a wonderful way of making others feel better. Generally speaking, this feeling occurs after a prolonged absence from reading these boards.

fair enough though I do plan to use my 9mm can on both this scorpion, a g19 and a cz p09..

Just moved back to CONUS. Wondering what to buy as a first firearms purchase, the list is so long. Been interested in lever actions lately... thinking about a .44 mag to be able to share ammo with my revolver. Anyone have one?

And they'd shoot my dog.

You will have to have it etched aswell.

I've got a CZ scorpion S1 and love it. I opted to stick with pistol brace setup as it's easy to collapse or remove, and being the concept of shoulder has been clearly outlined as on the shoulder I chose to avoid the stamp for now.

Want to SBR a new AR pistol build I have and throw my slidefire mod on it. Its a really nice stock and super comfortable pistol grip.

Many people with the first CZ scorpions didn't know you couldn't have the factory folding stock kit and the pistol even at the same residence... That's a violation of ATF laws!

Oh, of course! That's the nice thing about a can, it's a $200 stamp that can be used on a number of guns.

My CZs...let me show you them.

Nice, but I hope that you show them unsafe just for showing reasons...

No rounds in the mags/chambers, nothing anywhere near the triggers...

Couldn't be more safe.

Depends - do you know your guns provenance? Are you sure they haven't ever killed someone by themselves? Maybe they're up to no good right now while you are away. Evil little creatures that they are.

Or at least that's what I've gleaned from listening to the media's thoughts on firearms.

In fairness though, the picture doesn't show them as safe, so Dang3r is right - you aren't showing them as safe, therefore, the supposition should always be that they are unsafe until you prove it to yourself otherwise.

If I'm shooting at a bench and have to step away or a cease fire is called, mine are slide racked open, mag out, chamber facing up after I already verify its safe, just so everyone else can see that they are safe too.

Who wants pics with no mag and the slide locked?

And when I’m at the range, that’s the same behavior I practice. When you’re in a live fire environment, it’s the smart and responsible thing to do.

When I’m taking photos of my guns to share on the internet? Who cares what condition they are in when they are static? An image never hurt anyone (except some easily triggered liberals). Nevertheless, I do all of my photography with my guns unloaded.

Nah, I agree - if I was taking a photo of my gun to show it off, it wouldn't be where it could easily be proved safe, it'd be as you did.

I was just saying that Dang3r is technically right in his "unsafe" assertion, because one should always assume the firearm is loaded and ready to fire until proven otherwise.

Pick it up and pull trigger to confirm

Make sure to point it at something valuable just to show how sure you are it is clear.

Aren't you supposed to pull the trigger while looking down the barrel to check for the firing pin?

(Please don't do this)

Dont underestimate the stupidity of people who say they know guns. I've seen some stupid things

[JamesWWIII]

Okay, no pesky safeties to worry about on these...



The 226 is a 1985 West German model, my very first handgun. 229 Legion is my carry gun.
