General Discussion / Re: $200 suppressor tax stamp
December 02 2015 08:34:07 AM MST
This is the first that I've heard of this and that'd be nice (I'm selling a decent bit of my collection and the tax stamp turns off a lot of people who aren't used to them.) One thing to SQLBullet, no SSN, but rather a D/L number or something similar. Maybe a minimum amount of info to ID, then a D/L or ID picture pops up on their site to confirm? I would never give up my SSN to a stranger on the street.

Time to research so I know what you speak of... to the Google box!

That's what I was thinking, hope it's something I can fix.

That's what happened with my Escort, but no casing marks. It would FTF a few times for the first 100, now it eats everything. I placed a call into STI and am waiting for a callback from their technical guy.

Thank you. I'm glad there's a forum for this cartridge; it deserves more limelight. So I should have this looked at? I'm a gun fan, but still learning as I go. 1911's are still not something I've really torn down. How can I check for each of these circumstances?

No sweat. Going to run a few boxes through this weekend now that she's been cleaned and had some rounds through her. Hopefully, the lock back happens now. Something I forgot, the casings are hitting the slide and marking it. I'll get a picture if you like. I'm a function over form kind of guy, so I don't mind, but the shop owner I bought it through said I should send it back. It goes bang every time, so I'm happy, but if you're particular, I figured it's worth mentioning.

10mm semi-auto handguns / STI Nitro 10 first time out

Hi all, got it two weeks back, but this weekend was the first time I could get to the range to try it out. I'll start out by saying it was the tightest pistol I've ever had my hands on. I broke it down, cleaned and oiled it, racked the slide about 20 times (and made a stupid mistake of getting my finger caught, ouch), and took it to the range. I put 250 rounds of various ammo through it. Not one hiccup, and ran like butter. The trigger is phenomenal, and it was consistently about 1.5" low and 1.5" left at 7 yards. Not sure if I want to mess with the sights or not at this point. One thing that did happen, was on the lighter loads, it would not lock the slide back. This only happened when the mag was empty, though. I'm guessing this is from the gun being super tight, and I don't see it as a problem, but some might, so it's definitely worth mentioning.

Just checked, the MSRP is a bit higher than the Nitro ($500-$1500 higher.) I couldn't pay that since I just bought a few other toys, too. That's a beautiful gun I've never seen before, though. Haven't heard anything bad about Fusion, how do you like it?

I appreciate the welcome! Just found out today I should have her in next week. I've never done a gun review, but would anyone be interested in a Nitro 10 review? I don't see much about it on the web yet, but I don't even know where to start (I can disassemble guns, clean them, and shoot them, but I don't know everything about each piece, what's good or not, etc).

Hi all, I'm getting back in the 10mm game soon (had a G20 and Delta Elite in the past) and figured I'd finally join a group of like minded folks when it comes to my favorite pistol caliber.
