I was under the impression that even cops in CA can't buy hi cap mags for their own personal use. Everything has to go thru the dept.

 

they do... and i assume that the 5.7 isnt on the list of most departments either...

but that's never stopped them...

 

A peace officer can get high capacity magazines and certain guns that normal California citizens can't get, as long as they buy it with a department letterhead.

Multiple Berkely SWAT guys bought FN FiveSeven pistols for their off duty guns. Several Vallejo P.D. officers did the same.


One thing that concerned me about the 5.7 X 28 is the velocity from the FiveSeven's barrel. Sort of like a .22 Hornet. Shot placement is the key, but I'd rather fire the 5.7 X 28 from the P90's barrel (1,971 fps vs. 2330 fps) . I've shot jack rabbits with this round and it did it's job, but it wasn't as spectacular as nailing them with a 5.56 X 45 or with the 6.8 SPC.

Fun to shoot......like the AMT .22 mag AutoMag!

 

Yeah, he's in LE. He got it from a friend (same station) who didnt need it or wasnt using it or something like that. I had no idea the 20rnd mags were illegal, haha. About the letter by the Chief, I'm not sure if they needed one for this handgun if i remember correctly. I know my dad is getting a letter for an ar-15 right now though.

 

My buddy just got one a little while ago. Kind of a boring gun to shoot. But, it is accurate. No recoil. 20rd mag is awesome. Kind of cluncky...not good for off duty carry.

 

dude, the term is "federal pound me in the *** prison" ... :banana:

 

My dad used to carry a glcok .40 off duty and he says this is way more comfortable to have. So i dunno...

 

Where's the matching P90?

 

Which "Glock .40" did he have? There's about 5 different models in .40

 

we should have a meet and shoot event weekly !

Don't get me wrong, if you're a big guy I don't see it being a problem. I just think there are plenty of smaller guns that are way better suited for concealed carry. I wouldn't want to carry a full size glock .40 either.

 

I am curious about something. If a person bought a AR pre-ban, but never registered it under the assault weapon law, what can happen? I have been told they have do not have to be re-registered under this thing. The reason I am curious is that I know someone who has a AR but never registered it, and I want to have him take me to shoot it at a range, but I don't wanna get him in trouble. Any ideas?


BTW, one is a colt sporter and the other is a Dalphon B.F.D. if that helps

 

I think they send you to the Federal booty house for 10yrs on that one.

 

really? for not registering or getting caught with one that is not registered?

 

Yup. Well, technically that's what the law says will happen if you're caught with an unregistered "assualt rifle" which is what they label the AR as. I suggest your "friend" register the gun right away. But call a lawyer first to see what you should do BEFORE you go contacting the ATF or DOJ to tell them that you have an illegal AR on your hands.
