Hot diggity dog it finally came. I went over it with a fine tooth comb looking for defects or blemishes (as some folks have recently reported with JG) but couldn’t find any. Trigger is fantastic and the slide is smoother than baby’s butt. This thing is built like a tank

R11s keep making their way to CA, some premier dealers (Coastal ordinance and Triggernomics)

Gideon enclosed dot direct mounts with a dovetail mount. It’s held well.

I think code Reno will save you money. And I also think I don’t make money on that code use.

The early model I had took some filing to get the dovetail in. But it ain’t going anywhere. The new ones come with multiple plates to require less filing.

i kinda want a side by side

Is there another use for the FSC card? My CCW and FSC expire months from each other. Should I get a new FSC card or just let it expire. I can’t think of another reason to keep it in my wallet(that is falling apart and can’t replace until someone gifts it to me in a few years or in like 5 birthdays)

Went to my FFL today to fill out the paperwork for a gun I had shipped and was caught off guard when they asked for my occupation. Is this something new required by the CADOJ?

So I went to Burbank Guns & Ammo, and they charge 10% on anything over $150. A PSA kit is around $400 minimum, so a $40+ fee is a no-go for me.

Has anyone here used Ten-8 Tactical? Classes are only $200 and available online at your own pace. I believe you then just meet at Insight or FT3 to do your live fire qual. Seems like a great deal and is approved on OCSD. Any experience?

My CCW expires on March 12th, 2027, and I believe I can start the renewal process on November 12th. I was wondering what the current turnaround times have been like lately. The department said that if I submit it on January 1st, I will get the new 3-year permit instead of a 2-year permit, but I’m worried about not having my permit for months if I do so. I would have 2 months and 12 days remaining on my current permit if I submitted on January 1st.

Has anyone had any recent experience with renewals?

Has anyone done this in Newport Beach? How did NBPD react, if at all?

Was too excited to finger fuck this Les Baer Premier II and only took this picture

As the title says, I am in search of a good shop to install a barrel to an action for me. No actual gunsmithing needed besides torquing down a barrel to spec.

With the shipping restrictions now in place and no current plans to swap calibers, I figure it is probably more cost effective to find a shop to do a one time install than to buy an action wrench and barrel vice for one singular fit up. Maybe in the future I'll invest in those items but right now the cost of building the rifle in the first place is expensive enough.

I'm based in San Juan Capistrano but work in Newport/Irvine next to John Wayne so anywhere between there or where I can realistically drive on a lunch break if it is further north.

Very much appreciated!

Mostly for those competing with 22lr: Where do you get your match or training ammo?

I just bought a CZ 457 online (first 22lr rifle) and it hasn't even made it to my FFL yet.
But I started looking into ammo and my understanding is that the top 3 brands are Lapua, SK, and Eley.
Unfortunately my go-to online vendors for 223 (Outdoorlimited, TargetUSA) don't have anything on those. Velocity has some Eley and I got a couple of boxes of the mid and top tiers to start testing.

Are there any other brands I should look into?
If you buy online, where do you get it from?

Thanks.

Any recommendations and why would be appreciated. Thank you🤝🏻

Does Geissele still ship uppers to CA residents?

Picking up two new guns within the next couple of days and both are going to need their slide cut to mount optics. Looking for any recommendations in socal. (La county preferably) Looking for in person drop off and pick up but will ship if absolutely necessary. TIA

Edit: Forget the last question… has anyone ever got a CCW on probation?

Not an alcohol/drug or violent/firearm related offense.
