It's your gun - you can do whatever you like with it as long as it doesn't turn into something more strictly regulated - MG, SBR, etc. I'm not aware of any laws prohibiting safety removal. Hey, some guns don't have any safeties at all.

Correct. No safety on that gun above I'm putting together but if I'd wanted one that's an option.

Nice gun but too small for my hands. I bought a Ruger EC9s on a whim when I saw it online for $239. Too small but very concealable.

For me, I like the M&P 9mms.

That's why I replaced the lower because my hands are too big for a p365. I'm probably into that thing $1,400 by now though. Lower is aluminum and that gas pedal will be nice I think. Can't say for sure because I haven't shot it yet.

It's a better fit than my glock 17....

Well, when you're a rich guy. :)

I bought CZ 75 P01 after @clambo praised its virtues. I am not disappointed.

That's hammer fired, correct? I like striker fired. Lots of great guns out there though.

Yes, thanks for the correction. You're saying 410 won't deter an intruder?

410 will drop someone at close range just fine from a pistol, assuming 00 or 000 shot. A long gun should get you more velocity and less recoil, though, so I'd prefer the long gun if I had a choice. Then, if I do have a long gun, I'd prefer a 12- or 20-gauge over 410; choose a lower-powered round if you want less recoil. Also, #4 buck or BB size shot will be safer for neighbors 50+ yards away while still being devastating a in-house range in the larger chambered rounds.

Not really. I just splurged on that and my fish tank. My car is 21.5 year old and the window literally fell out when I was driving a few weeks ago!

Anyone have an opinion of a Mossberg 590A1?

I'm considering that one because it has a metal trigger guard (non-metal are known to break too soon) then replacing the barrel from a regular 590 because I don't need one so thick (and heavy) that will be fine with a tank rolling over it.

Then getting a 3rd barrel long enough to bird hunt with that has a choke. This is to cheap out about buying a regular hunting shotgun and a home safety device.

Probably just have a bead on it too but I don't think they come that way. I've never used ring sights before but those online seem to come with them. They don't look appealing.

Reviving @GNL thread: saw yesterday that ammoseek has 22LR ammo for 2.7 cents/round! All ammo prices except 7.62x39 which is heavily used in Ukraine are coming down. Good omen for Trump reelection?

Yeah, powder for reloads was in crazy short supply thanks to the Ukey kerfluffle. Things are finally starting to loosen up, but at prices that are 2X what they were before 2019.
