Short list semiautos for NY'ers? -- preparing for future

[1MarbleMissing]

Have a S&W 22A target pistol with 2-10 rd mags

My 22A came with 2 10-rd magazines. It is a nice gun to target shoot with. But it does have a magazine capacity greater than 7. The club I belong to has a range limit of 5 rounds in the gun. That isn't a big problem since I'm allowed to have a bigger clip. They just don't want people tearing up the range with a lot of rounds at one time. Plus when doing target practice I find if I can't determine my group at 3 or 5 rounds, I need to focus on what I'm doing wrong in my gun control... feet shoulder width apart, good sight picture.. you know the drill... REAL gun control.

I have an inherited 1924 Liberty .25ACP that uses a 10-round clip too. I got a second clip at ammoclip.com. Just can't see the sense of having any semiautomatic with just one clip.

You might want to also get extra clips for any guns you may already have. Not that it should happen often, but it is always possible for a clip to get damaged and have to be replaced. Like one boss I had used to say, "Better to have and not need than need and not have."

Don't forget, there are rifles like the Henry Golden Boy that can hold more than 7 rounds in the feed tube as well. How do those fall under the New York law? Will Henry rifles be banned?

Good luck.

NY State Problem....

Maybe you didn't read the NYS Sheriff's Letter to the Governor nor the newspapers protesting this dumb decision. Sounds like some folks are going to give up and roll over on this one. Either protest, join the ranks of those that are mobalizing and/or leave the state. In the mean time, carry a 1911. But don't give up!

My family has spent summers in the north country of the thousand isalnds for the past 25 years and we had planned to retire there in the near future. I guess our retirement tax dollars will be spent somewhere else.

I have literally traveled the world and have never found a place I would want to move to. And certainly no politician is going to change my mind.

The year that Florida was hit with 3 hurricanes right in a row, I spent most of that year down there on business. A local coworker had his house damaged heavily, and all his old trees completely destroyed. When I commented about how could you possibly live here, his answer was "the price you pay to live in paradise"

Haha.

To me NY is paradise. If need be, I'll switch to all pre model number hand ejectors. Not a bad idea anyway.

A guy I worked with moved to Vero Beach about 5 or so years back,he talked about it constantly on the job, buying a new house and all near the beach. The year he got there, his house took 2 direct hits from hurricanes within 2-3 weeks. Packed up and moved to Texas, inland.
Actually, it was 2004. Frances and Jeanne

I would Keep my beta-mags in my AR. 7 rds? If you can not purchase a 7 rd then the gun is being legislatively ( confiscated ) which is unconstitutional. Your choice is really simple- STAND and fight or move! I know job/family/home/etc, you have to make a decision on what is most important to you- your freedom or something else. I made a decision in 1993- I WOULD NOT COMPLY WITH NJ LAW, so we moved and got a job, bought a house and the rest is history. As I said it is simple- make a choice. I did not say that choice is EASY. I wish you the best. I have no 7 rd mags other Glock 36 + 1911. Be Safe,

You New York guys are just dreaming if you believe the round limitation will remain at 7. As soon as that idiot law goes into effect there are bound to be more insane mass shootings, or stabbings, or clubbings, or bombings... These radical politicians will never blame the people pulling the trigger. Always the gun,,,,

Your politicians will determine it happened because of the 7 round capacity so they'll make a new law and reduce the capacity to 3 rounds... then 2....then 1 .... then? It's all about control, folks! Just ask the people of Eastern Europe.

Quit voting in these BOZO'S who are using every method they can to disarm you. If you can't read the beginnings of a totalitarian system emerging in places like New York, Chicago and San Francisco you haven't been paying any attention....

Just sayin'

I pity the folks that live in the anti-gun states like NY, NJ, Pa, Mass, Illinois & California.......33 years ago after my wife got her degree, she was offered well paying jobs in Illinois & NY, she turned them down then because of those 2 states anti-gun laws........ Now we are even happier that she did.

There is no house & no job worth living in those states listed above.

Two of our locals had A ratings from the NRA and had always been on our side. At the last minute, both caved and voted for the law.

They're ALL bozos. So, who's left to vote for?

In 2005 we had Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. We got them going both east and west down here.

Find a CS40 and you'd be good too.

I love my S&W's and the Chief Special Autoloaders 9mm, 40, and 45, they're right in line with NY law (breakers.... er law makers). However, don't discount the SIG SAUER P238 or P938 - they're true to the old Colt Pocket Lite and Colt Mustang. I own both and they're as reliable as can be. Both are 7 (380) round or 6 (9mm) capacity in a 1911 design.

 

[BigCityChief]

any magazine over ten rounds has to be either sold out of state or destroyed or permanently modified to 7 rounds by April 15th 2014. You may keep ten rounders but you can only load them with 7 rounds as of April 15th, 2013. After that you cannot buy 10 rounders, only 7.

Absolutely correct - and absolutely ridiculous! I cringe every time I hear it.

Got a call from the RNC 2 days ago. We usually donate to them during the year. I told them to go pound salt. I said I won't donate to them because the Republicans threw us under the bus with their vote in NYS against the 2nd. I told the man that when the RNC straightens up I'll donate to them, until then any additional money will go to the NRA to support the A-rated Dems too. (this is in addition to my regulare donations to the NRA-PVF, NRA-ILA and GOAL)

The problem with the "Just dont vote the Bozo's in", is In NY, CA and many other anti 2A areas of the country, the general population would vote for more gun control. In CA, 65 % of the state thinks there should be more gun control, and in the high 40% of freakin gun owners think there should be more. This in a state with some of the worst gun control laws on the books. You cant fix stupid at the ballot box, as we are way out numbered. CA's and NY's best hope is through the courts. BTW, Oregon is not all that far from being over run by antis. Dems in CA have a greater than 66.6% super majority in the state legislature. The sky is the limit with respect to more taxes, and more gun control.

 

[gdogs]

In my opinion there is absolutely zero chance of this law being upheld in the courts. 7 rounds? What idiot politician came up with that arbitrary number? No manufacturer is going to start making 7 round magazines for 1 state's customers. It's just bad business. Hold off, let the law work through the courts. They may be able to limit it to 10 rounds, but the Supreme Court is not going to allow them to knock it down to 7.

RE: NY'ers--preparing for future:

Start sharpening your sticks. If you think it's going to stop with the current legislation you haven't been paying attention. Next will be ALL detachable-mag-fed, then all (semi) autos, etc. Until they encounter (and LOSE) serious constitutional challenges they will continue to grab more and more. ...And they have deep pockets and the will to fight those challenges, too.

And by the way, PA is relatively gun-friendly when you are outside of Philly, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. An open-carry state and a "shall-issue" state. (For now.)

Also added: I have "several" guns. (Let's leave it at more than 1 and less than a thousand for conversation's sake) Only my M&P9c, Browning Hi-Power and Mini-thirty have standard capacities over 10rounds, but I am still fighting as best as I can against all this new legisltion. I've written my senators for the first time in my life. You should, too. If they read the papers or watch TV, and they might, they think they have a majority unless you tell them differently.

 

[bruce em]

...and after 7 rounders don't solve the "problem" ie YOU owning a gun, they'll change it to three.

Guns with 5 or less are disallowed b/c the mag is then forward of the trigger. Clever little devils; they messed with everything. This ironically allows the baby pocket pistols and those with large caliber shells.

This rule CAN NOT stand.

 

[TDC]

I've got to add if we're expecting the lower courts and the Supreme Court to protect our Constitutional rights, we have only to look at the court's decision on the health care bill.

Everyone, including the Dems, were expecting a decision deeming it to be unconstitutional. Chief Justice Roberts, to everyone's shock, came up with one of the most bizarre and controversial opinions in American history to help make up a majority. The secretly constructed and unconstitutional health care bill, unwanted by the majority of the American people, is now law of the land.

I no longer have faith in the courts for the protection of our constitutional rights..... I expect we all have a major battle on our hands from now on and it will remain a political one.... locally in our individual states as well as nationally....
