I can get a signature, I would just prefer to have all NFA items owned by my trust.

Glock 19, Walther PPS, S&W M&P 9L in about that order (based on proficiency needs). I also routinely shoot my AR15 SBR and 16-inch mid-length. Among other reasons, the pistols won't detonate Tannerite.

Gotcha. Makes sense. I am single and want to safeguard my investments, should I ever fall into the trap that is marriage. Angry divorcees cannot legally get personally registered NFA items very easily.

MacCool 08-18-2012 10:39 AM

NFA items make up a pretty small percentage of the firearms I own. I'd have many bigger things to worry about in the unlikely event of a divorce.

There are advantages to trusts, but not many of them apply to me to the point where I see it as worth the hassle. Just as easy for me to send in the Form 1. I'm still using passport photos I had shot 4 years ago, my fingerprints are electonically stored at the Sheriff's office...all I need to do is ask them to print me a couple of copies, and the Sheriff is a friend so getting him to sign it is simple.

I debate whether or not I want an SBR. More realistically I would get a suppressor. That would be fun.

I gotta say, the ease of carrying, ease of manipulation, ease of aiming makes either of my 11.5 inch SBRs a real joy to use. The shorter barrel has caused me to give up nothing and gain a tremendous amount. I find I rarely pack up my Light Recce anymore, and in training I usually only bring it along as a backup. As to a suppressor, that would be cool and I'd put one on one of the SBRs in a heartbeat if they were legal in this state.

Any one here have an HK45? I am looking at getting one for my backpack gun. My G19 is my current go to right now but I would rather have a 45 for the woods. Its hit or miss of my local shop has one and I have yet to see the LEM model to try out.

m4a1mustang 08-20-2012 01:24 PM

Why would you want a .45 for the woods? Won't do you any good against any large animals. I'd look at a .357 Magnum revolver at minimum. Not sure what you have to contend with out there.

mdxj 08-20-2012 01:39 PM

The biggest that I have to deal with would be black bear, but those are very rare. Its mostly for the 2 legged creatures running around, I always carry when I go hiking and camping. I am looking into a SW 357 right now but want other options.

I don't have a HK45, but I do have a H&K USP .45 (and .40) and P30L (which is very similiar to the HK45 but in 9mm). I am in the market for a HK45C because even though the "spiderman" adjustable grips are comfortable I find that I am better at shooting the USP and my H&K P2000SK which are flatter and more square.

For hiking I bring my Ruger GP100 .357...for some reason it just feels like the right gun. If all else fails you can use it as a cudgel or a hammer :)

I used to have a 45C. Sad to say I don't recommend them. Real nice ergonomics, and real smooth to shoot. But for some reason, about 1 out of every 10 shots or so, the hammer would fail to c0ck. Like I'd fire off a round, the slide would eject the shell and put another one into the chamber, but when the slide returned to battery, the hammer followed along rather than staying cocked back! Thinking it might just be my pistol, and went and tried another one. Same thing! Not sure what the deal is. That never happens on any of my other pistols. I've also had USPs, USP Compacts, and various other HK pistols like the P2000SK, and none of them did this.

Do you per chance shoot 1911s a lot? If so do you let your right thumb ride/rest on the safety?
