Since when is divorce "unlikely"? I mean, everyone things "My marriage can't fall apart." But lets me honest...noone plans on it.
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.

Nice setup you have! I dunno, man, I simply do everything with a "divorce is likely if marriage occurs" mindset, both in little and small things, and it all adds up to a life that is pretty secure and well thought out.

If you get a suppressor, you will get an SBR. All it will take is wielding a 21" carbine (length to 16.1" with suppressor added) to make you buy a 10.5-11.5" SBR.

I'd be using them on pistols. I don't really get to use my AR much.

Yes to the first question, no to the second.

I believe you described this issue with the HK45C earlier in the thread, so I scoured the interwebs for other reports of it, which I came up with nothing. So when you described it again I came up with the theory that it could be a faulty dec0cker or something in the safety assembly. After looking into it the HK45C has the same dec0cker as the USP so I searched again and indeed a 1911 shooter described the same problem as you experienced. But if you don't ride the safety lever then it isn't the cause. Maybe H&K had some faulty dec0ckers or had improperly assembled them...

Anyhow I can't imagine the SEALs would adopt the pistol if that were a common problem, so I still will go ahead and purchase it here soon and let you all know if I run into any issues. Thanks for the information Semtex!

Where do you guys shoot AR! What size ammo? The large one (? Cant remember rond size) sounds like a cannon going off. To me anyway!

It really is, almost!

Funny Story to just give everyone a taste

I remember driving up to one guys house for a private shoot outside of Beaver Dam, WI and he is sitting in a chair in front of his Bentley as I walk up

So, i'm like "where are we gonna be shooting?" He points and I turn around and abou2 25 yds off of his driveway is this bullet catcher behind a target he had built.

Yes, I should mention that I bought mine when it first came out. As in, I bought the first one my gun shop sold. They told me they just got it in 3 days before I bought it. So it's definitely possible that there were some early production issues. I hope so anyway. It's very uncharacteristic for HKs to have issues like this, and overall my esteem for HK hasn't been diminished in the least. Your question was a fair one. Thing is, I've had other HK pistols with decocking safeties and haven't run into this. If I were accidentally decocking you'd think it'd happen on other HK models too right? *shrug* Anyway, assuming you don't experience the same issue, I think you're going to absolutely love the 45C. It is an incredibly smooth pistol, a real gem of a gun!

I wish I had land to shoot on. All I'd do is shoot and reload.

I feel your pain. Moving to Fayetteville, AR to remedy that, myself. Pretty roads to drive, lower crime by far from where I am, and better gun laws, and $1500/acre land that is very nice to build on.
