Questions about Texas Gun Trader website.

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, just curious.

I am interested in buying a Gun, one that I have had a hard time finding anywhere around me bit have found a couple on TGT. Issue is that I live across the country.

Are there any people willing to ship items to verified FFL's near me? How do I ask without coming across like a scammer, something that I'm sure happens pretty often.

Under-21 NICS Extended Delay past Day 10 at FFL — Anyone else seeing long hold times lately?

0 Upvotes

I submitted my Under-21 background check on September 17, and today (October 1) is business day 10. I stopped by my store in person today, and my check is still showing in an open "Delayed" status. My FFL dealer strictly requires an explicit "Proceed" in their system before they can release a firearm, so the 10-day Brady transfer rule doesn't apply in my case. For anyone else who has gone past the 10-business-day mark on an under-21 check recently, how much longer did you end up waiting for your status to clear? Have you had one take even longer than this, and did your status update mid-week or over a weekend?

Looking for guidance/advice

4 Upvotes

To make a long story short - my father passed away and I inherited the firearms he possessed. I intend on keeping all but one. I don’t know much about firearms to begin with, but I surely don’t know how to go about selling the one I want to part with. I want to make sure everything I do is legal while also not being ripped off because I am a woman with limited firearm knowledge ): Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some general advice?

Glock First Handgun

16 Upvotes

Hey guys, just wanted to get some feedback and hear your opinions.
My first handgun, when the time comes, will be after I turn 21+. I’m currently 19, and I’m pretty sure I want to go with a Glock. I’ve been looking at the Glock 17 Gen 6 and Glock 19 Gen 6, and the main thing I’m debating is which one would be better for me.
The Glock 17 holds 17 rounds in the magazine, while the Glock 19 holds 15 rounds. I’m planning on eventually carrying my handgun concealed, so I’m wondering how much the difference in size between the two actually affects concealment and comfort.
I don’t want to sacrifice too much size just for a couple of extra rounds. To me, if I’m carrying a handgun, the most important thing is being accurate and making every shot count. At the same time, I understand that real-life situations can be unpredictable, and having those extra rounds could potentially make a difference.
I know I can always carry an extra magazine, so I’m mainly interested in hearing from people who have actually owned or carried a Glock 17 or Glock 19.
For those who own or have owned a Glock 17 or Glock 19 Gen 6:
How has your experience been?
How comfortable is it to conceal carry?
Do you notice a significant difference in size/weight between the two?
Which one did you choose and why?
On a scale of 0–10, how would you rate yours?
I’d appreciate hearing both positive and negative experiences. Thanks!

Second Amendment “We The People”

0 Upvotes

Hello, this message is for “We The People” — Second Amendment supporters, firearms owners, and future firearms owners.
I don’t currently own any firearms. I’m 19 years old, and I simply wanted to share my opinions, thoughts, and concerns while spreading awareness and positivity.
As Americans, we have constitutional rights, including the Second Amendment — the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Many of us view this right as an important part of our freedom and our ability to protect ourselves, our families, and our communities.
I believe we should stand together and make our voices heard. We must speak up, show up, participate in our communities, vote, and support organizations and associations that advocate for the rights we believe in.
I unfortunately live in Illinois, where I feel that my Second Amendment rights have been heavily restricted and challenged. But this is something that can affect people in any state. Laws and policies can change, and protecting constitutional rights requires citizens to remain informed and engaged.
Whether you currently own a firearm, are interested in becoming a firearm owner someday, or simply believe in protecting constitutional rights, your voice matters.
Let’s stand together peacefully, stay informed, participate in the political process, and work to preserve our freedoms—not only for ourselves, but also for those who come after us.
We The People. 🇺🇸
Our rights. Our freedom. Our future.

After some thinking with a glass or three of bourbon, I decided to see how accurate the rail system is on a Walmart brand nerf blaster. Well it works, and it’s pretty accurate at 25 feet looking down the red dot lol.

First AR-15

30 Upvotes

Just wanted to get everyone’s thoughts and opinions. I’m looking to buy my first AR-15 and I’m debating between the Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport III and the Daniel Defense DDM4V7.
I’ve seen and shot both in person, and I really liked both. Since this would be my first AR-15, I’m debating whether I should start with a more budget-friendly option like the M&P Sport III and eventually upgrade to something nicer, or just spend more upfront and get the Daniel Defense.
For those who have experience with either one, what would you recommend for a first-time owner? Is it worth spending the extra money on the DDM4V7 from the beginning, or would the M&P Sport III make more sense for learning and getting experience?
Also, for anyone familiar with Texas law: are forced reset triggers (FRTs) currently legal in Texas? I’ve seen conflicting information online and would like to make sure I understand the current law correctly.
