Re: What's wrong with grip safeties ?

Clyde, I would consider that for my XD SC 9. Did the process result in the actual removal of the grip toggle. or , did you remove interior material leaving that grip safety panel intact? All you need is the slide off. There's a pin you have to knock through and the pad w/spring will fall out. If yo...

Re: What's wrong with grip safeties ?

These kinds of logical explanations are appreciated; I especially can relate to the concept of a student using a grip-safety to test grip technique. Even after 82 yrs , there's always more to learn My first introduction of owning a gun with a grip safety was an XD SC40 I bought from a former member...

Re: At direction of Biden, ATF is drawing up new regulation to prohibit private sales

This is NOT about preventing deaths, this is NOT about mental health. This is simply about controlling the narrative. I am a former Peace Officer. We would arrest people for violent crimes and they would beat us home. We have laws to severely punish and deter violent crime but we don't punish it. W...

Re: What's wrong with grip safeties ?

I don't think there is anything wrong with them if it's used for plinking etc. For self defense however, what's wrong is there is one more thing that could go wrong. I personally don't like handguns with a safety if it is for self defense. The only handgun I have with a safety is a .22 and for thos...

I'm not in any way saying we should buckle under and comply. In fact, total non-compliance is the only answer. BUT,...I don't want anybody to be under an illusion of the fight they are picking and what the costs of that fight may be. Simply admit to yourself you are risking everything you own, incl...

Re: What's wrong with grip safeties ?

What Clyde and I'll add that my grip is so high on the tang that I tend to push the beaver tail safeties upwards and sometimes the safety. I rarely carry 1911 (in 9mm) for that reason. Love the platform, they're elegant weapons and great for teaching basics, but not for my carry. Yep, we've had thi...

Re: What's wrong with grip safeties ?

Looks exactly like my grip, and I have the same issues. I only use 1911’s for shooting comp now, and do the shock buffer pinning trick to keep my GS depressed. For carry it’s a BHP, M&P, Shield, or Glock. I tell folks, especially 1911 FUDDs, if a grip safety makes you feel safe, it's because yo...

Now a person can gun show trade and not "sell for a profit" Trade one gun for anything of value, no profit, no issue. no illegal "ruling" Ah,...but remember, these are collectivist commie phukwads,...so their definition of "profit" is likely to be a creative imagining ...

Re: DOJ Announces Rule Ending Private Firearm Sales At Gun Shows

So, now we have to show that we're trading something of equal value. So, you got a gun for sale/trade, I have a rubber duck of equal value, we're both happy. Of course, the rubber duck has $$ in it, but on camera, or, anyone in view of said trade, it only shows them receiving the duck. :mrgreen: Of ...

Re: What's wrong with grip safeties ?

For me, I'm a CQC guy, and it's an impediment to bang. If you're in any sort of struggle in close quarters, and have a hard time drawing your weapon, or retaining it, that grip safety may be the cause of your death. I disabled the grip safety on my XD, with a friggin' dremel, love the gun now. Glock...
