Don't think that either of the two primary companies that make those offer one.


However, due to recent court victories the forced reset triggers are not prohibited. If you can consider an AR pattern weapon, those are now available again. From my experience you can achieve as high fire rate (and it's easier) as a binary, at a fraction of the cost.


These guys have a new, much lower priced trigger group that should fit your needs.

I am currently working with a local dealer to stock these. That way no one has to order one from the manufacturer and face the chance of the BATFE showing up at your door demanding it back and threatening prison time, as recently happened with the other guys. My guy does not keep a record of who buys his products with cash. 100% legal transaction for a 100% legal to own product in Texas (unlike what some other member posts and brags about).

Sweet gun, accurate as hell using Remington UMC 230 grain with a $25 cheap little red/green dot sight and a $12 metal bipod. Filled in the bullseye with the target at the end of the wall. I love this gun with the 25 round magazine. If someone asked whether it's a good weapon and great bang for the buck, my answer is hell YES.

No FFL fee at either TGC or CC. So I'm very happy with the pricing at https://www.familyfirearms.com/produ...ld-adj-blk-13r

Marksman sells theirs for $1009, so I got mine at a steal.

Yes you did. A little research pays off



Great urban/suburban home self defense gun. With proper self defensive loads you don't have to worry about over penetration (so no blasting the neighbors next door if you have to use it, unlike a rifle round), easy to find ammo, all the range necessary, easy to find magazines, solid brand name with good warranty. Sound like you have an ideal set up that many of us should consider.


Now that you have chosen a rig that fires subsonic rounds and has a threaded barrel you might also want to level up and get a suppressor (either a legal home-built or a factory model). That thing would be real quiet.

Common misconception:


Common handgun cartridges will not "overpenetrate" (i.e., perforate) as much as rifle calibers.


9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and certainly .357 Magnum and up will perforate much more "stuff" than a XM193 55 grain FMJ going a minimum of 2,400 FPS.


The "lifers" in prisons across the US have mostly been shot lots with handgun calibers of every configuration. Trauma surgeons I have met professionally have told me that the survival rate of handgun inflicted wounds is 90+% WITH PROMPT MEDICAL ATTENTION. 5.56mm, not so much. 12 gauge, properly applied, single digits.



I'm old school. I like a Remington 870 with an extended magazine tube and # 4 Mil-Spec Buckshot.

Just my $0.02, worth everything you paid for it.

It shows 34 cents a round, which is a lot cheaper than Bass Pro Shops or Academy, HOWEVER the shipping charge is around $55 which brings the price up quickly. Even though it's more expensive than it would seem with shipping, it's still a bit cheaper than BPS and Academy. Since I'm getting a very popular round from Remington, I still pay the shipping. Now if were some ammo I'm not familiar with, I would buy it on site.

Familyfirearms is apparently no longer in business. It's a shame, they would be my go to place to purchase weapons.

Speaking of 12 gauge pump action shotguns. Saw this yesterday.

Not near as reputable as a Remington/Mossberg, however for a into-your-closet total price of just over a hundred bucks (Gun + transfer to local FFL) this might not be a bad deal for a person on a tight budget.


I also like #4 over OO buckshot. Used to have that loaded exclusively in the HD shotgun. Now I pretty much load PDX Defender into it. (The old buck and ball loads from the Civil War ear re-engineered into the 21st century.)
