This is all very good info. I was also under the impression that "they" (being a loosely defined term for the govt) could search your property for any reason at any time if you had an NFA item.
I've been sort of waiting to see about getting a suppressor because I didn't really want to get on a list in the event that "they" decide all guns need to be confiscated. None of my weight casters were purchased in the state where I currently reside, so I would assume that I'd be low on the list for the time being. I don't really want to jump to the front of the line for any reason.

Dad thinks ol FPS killed his son but nobody can prove it. All the evidence is gone.
I thought his son was killed from selling illegal machine guns and he got on the wrong side of some bad people? It did say that firearms were missing from his house.
I can't see those pirate4x4 links without an account and it looks like my old account is gone

I do not believe they ever solved it.
Yeah they haven't (I just read a 6 year old article on it).
If you have any suppressor questions then feel free to PM me. I have done and still continue to do an unhealthy amount of suppressor research

At this point, it pretty much boils down to which one I want and if I really want to spend the money.
The reality is that I don't have a "need" and am trying to work on being content with what I have. I have a loose goal to be debt free by 40.

I read a bunch about that topic and a documentary. Truth be told I never heard of fps prior to watching it. Once I saw it I started watching the vids and his podcast. Dudes weird but doesn't seem to be so worried about money he'd off someone. Dudes set for life as is.
I dont blame the dad cause he's gotta point a finger somewhere to stay sane
Woot! David Chipman isn't going to be the head of the ATF! Now we get to see who the next piece of shit is gonna be...
White House to withdraw controversial ATF nominee David Chipman

I'm considering getting another carry piece.
I got volunteered for my church's security team. In order to be considered, you have to pass the GA State Police 30 round semi-auto course. We had a requalification and training (by the guy who works for and trains the police here) on Saturday and I didn't make all my 20 yard shots. I wasn't off by much, but every inch counts. I carry a S&W M&P Shield40, FWIW.
As far as the qualifying round, I missed one of the 20 yards, but made all the others. We also had a situation training and had rooms setup. The situation setup had 2 other 20 yard shots, and I missed one there also. In the situational one, I hit the shoulder of a friendly target. This has bothered me more than it should. The instructor said that was pretty much expected using a short barrel pistol at that distance with the factory white dot sights and he didn't seem bothered by it one bit.
Until now, I've never considered really pulling out my firearm for anything shorter than about 7 yards. You know, a real "self" defense distance. I hadn't really considered needing to make longer shots to protect others until the situational practice.
So I'm considering changing things up a bit. I really like my M&P shield40. So much so that my wife has one in 9mm also.
I could look at getting a threaded barrel to add a little barrel length. That should, in theory, improve the longer range shots, but I'm not sure that it will add much more than a half inch. So I'd be going from a 3.1" to something like 3.7"
I could look at upgrading the sights. I've previously looked into night sights, and still wouldn't be opposed to an upgrade. The guys who had the best scores on the qualifying course were using red dot sights. The groupings from those guys were far superior to anyone using regular sights. I don't think I'm quite ready to drop the coin on a red dot or have my slide milled to accept one. I think I have seen one that mounts to the factory rear sight mount, but that is still expensive.
I could also look at just carrying a different gun all together. Probably something in the range of a 4" barrel is what I'm thinking. I may even go back to 9mm to have a few extra rounds in each mag. Not really sure, but figured this would be a good place to ask the question and get y'all's opinions.
I don't normally trust the opinion of strangers on the internet, but you're a cool bunch of strangers on the internet
