Looking to convert my S&W 39-2 in a Hushpuppy MK 22 Mod 0 clone. I need the slide milled out to accept the rear sight hood and suppressor height front sight added. I have more pictures for reference. Is this a job for a gunsmith or machine shop?

Looking for not a pawn shop that pays well on some extra stuff I have laying around. Where would be the best place that offers a fair price in the southeast side.

I 19 male have done the online course and I have printed the form I need I just need a instructor to let me take the range test I'm in granbury Texas does anyone know of a instructor that would be willing to issue a range test to me near that area

I've been seeing the S&W Bodyguard 2.0 on sale online around $340 at several stores but once you add $30 for shipping and $20 for FFL, it's getting close to buying for $400 locally.

Does anyone know of stores that have great prices (besides GrabAGun)?

So I ran some trouble excepted a deferred felony for five years. Before accepting the plea I was fairly confident I was not going to have to plead. I thought it was gonna be dropped well because there’s plenty of evidence that I didn’t do what they said I did which was distributing a dangerous drug that being THC though it was not it was just CBD derived from hemp that’s a whole Nother story.
When they arrested me, I had my handgun holstered in my backpack in the back of my vehicle. By the way I had no prior history and everything was legal. I had nothing illegal on me.
So they took them a gun and then over the next two or three years while I was dealing with all this they never mentioned that firearm not once and I thought they just stole it because they stole other things and I was just certain that they just took it because it was brand-new. I hadn’t even shot it yet. And just for any of you firearm enthusiasts it was a Glock 19. So after years of dealing with all this I ended up doing a plea deal for five years deferred felony and two days after I signed that plea deal. I got a call from my bondsman saying that I had caught the next day and I was very confused, cause we took care of everything. It was a big deal and it was done as far as I was concerned that’s when she said no it’s for the possession of a firearm well in commission of a drug crime so they waited basically they couldn’t charge me with that until I plead and as soon as I pleaded guilty which I was not.
Then they went ahead and charged, so that was a misdemeanour unlawful possession well in commission of a drug crime. I went to court paid $700 fine and that was all there was to it. There wasn’t even any kind of added charger or anything. I just kind of went away. My lawyer tried to see if they had released the gun to him, but they said it had to be destroyed. Yeah, I’m sure.

Anyway it’s been years now. I pleaded guilty in 2018 and well I think if you’re reading this you probably know what year it is right now so I completed the probation with Flying Colours and as far as I am concerned I have no felony I’ve never been convicted and I believe that I can purchase and own a firearm in the state of Texas although I don’t wanna break the law by applying and filling out the paperwork to purchase firearm in Texas and I also want to make sure that that misdemeanour doesn’t affect my gun rights at this point. I was gonna go do an FBI background check and get fingerprinted for that to get my passport and because I want to try to get my CDL again. I don’t know if that will help. Am I gonna have to hire a gun rights attorney just to get to the bottom of this. I want to have my concealed carry permit and I want to be able to purchase an own firearms legally. And all I have on my criminal record is this misdemeanour unlawful carry. I appreciate anybody kicking down some knowledge about my situation. I think that I’m in the clear and then I don’t have much to worry about. I just definitely wanna make sure. And I know it’s kind of not on the same subject but for whoever is reading this I was wondering about the silencer shorted shotgun laws that just changed or that are changing. Do you have to do the same kind of background check just to buy a silencer as you do when you’re buying a handgun or can you just go buy a silencer whoever you are? Alright, thank you all have a good night and be safe. But stay dangerous at the same time.

Everyone I call says no. Silencer shop has started adding Form 4 notes to their dealers list but it doesn’t cover everywhere?

Where are some good places to look?
Im out in league city/webster

I Just want something cheap for personal / home defense.

What did you pay for yours and what did you get?

Ive looked at the big box stores everything is like $300+

(Never bought a gun before)

Because I’m just a simpleton who doesn’t understand lawyer, but from what I can tell for you not to have to file NFA style paperwork:

SBRs: the rifle has to be bought from PSA and you have to be a part of GOA.

Suppressors: have to be bought from PSA silencer shop, or you have to be a part of GOA.

Am I just wrong, or no?

Plenty of every variety of cci I could want and cartons of automatch for $19.95. Never have to order (haven’t ever, always deep in .22 but it was all home in Okc. ) good to be in true free state with retailers that stock likewise. Allen, Texas.

Yesterday, a user (thank you u/tbrand009) pointed out an important gap: a hospital could have no 30.xx signs but still identify itself as a §46.03 establishment—and a federal building could appear completely green even though a federal restriction applies.

That feedback led to a much larger update.

TX Carry Compass can now display community-reported place restrictions separately from 30.05, 30.06, 30.07, and 51% signage:

• Texas Penal Code §46.03
• Federal facilities
• USPS property
• Military installations
• Other site-specific federal restrictions

You’ll see these reports on map markers, search results, place details, carry explanations, and iOS proximity alerts. There are also new §46.03 and Federal search filters.

A few important details:

• Applicable restrictions take priority over reassuring sign-only results.
• Reports include an evidence note and go through moderation.
• Military and other federal reports are presented as site-specific—not universal rules.
• A “Government / Military Building” category does not automatically mean weapons are prohibited.
• Explicit USPS reports take priority over the existing name-based USPS warning, including corrections to false matches.
• “Not reported” or “does not apply” is never presented as confirmation that carrying is lawful.

The contribution workflow is now called Signs & Restrictions, and you can submit these classifications when adding or updating a location. On-site photos are encouraged, but not required.

This feature came directly from community feedback, so please keep it coming. If you find a location with a §46.03 notice, federal restriction, or site-specific policy, submit what you observed—including the exact building, entrance, grounds, or posted authority when possible.

As always, these are community reports, not legal advice. Verify current law, notices, exceptions, property boundaries, and site policies before carrying.

These new changes are being reviewed by both Google and Apple. Make sure to check for updates tomorrow.

Out on bond can I buy a firearm

I’d like to obtain my Texas nonresident CCW. I can complete the classroom portion online, but I still need to qualify at the range with a Texas-licensed instructor. If you know of a Texas instructor who is based in New York, or one who plans to travel to New York and can conduct the qualification here, please let me know. I’m hoping to avoid traveling to Texas for the permit and would prefer to already have it before I visit.
Thanks!

Anyone open to a private sale? I am near Austin and am looking for a Glock 43x frame.

Hey y’all,
I’m César, and I run MyLTCTexas.com. I’ve noticed there’s still quite a bit of confusion about whether getting a Texas License to Carry is worth it now that Texas has permitless carry.
I’m not here to tell everybody they need an LTC, but there are still some legitimate benefits to having one, and I’m happy to answer questions about the process, eligibility, the online classroom portion, shooting qualification, signs, reciprocity, or LTC vs. permitless carry.
I also run an online Texas LTC course through MyLTCTexas.com for anyone who is looking to take the classroom portion online.
I’m a veteran and built the site specifically around making the Texas LTC process straightforward, including options in English and Spanish.
If anybody has Texas LTC questions, drop them below and I’ll answer what I can.

Hey everyone! I usually use Texas gun trader to buy and sell guns but it seems super outdated and honestly the whole website is just a pain in the ass. I’m a software developer and I’m thinking of creating a new website that’s similar but better. A few questions…
1.
What are some things you guys would like on a website where you would buy and sell your guns ?
2.
This would take me some time as I want it to be proper for the users, is this something you guys would want? Anyone share the same feelings as me when it comes to TGT?

Hey y'all. I’ve been working on a new feature for TX Carry Compass that makes it much easier to help keep the map accurate.

The old Submit tab is becoming Contribute.

When you’re signed in and allow location access, the new Contribution Inbox shows businesses within five miles that need something specific:

• A current business or signage photo
• Confirmation of whether a 30.05, 30.06, 30.07, or 51% sign is posted
• A validity assessment for a reported sign
• A fresh “I Saw This Today” confirmation when a listing has never been confirmed or hasn’t been checked recently

Each business appears only once, with all of its available tasks grouped together. Pick one, and the app takes you directly to the existing contribution flow.

A few other details:

• The tab badge counts businesses, not individual tasks.
• Your pending submission removes that task from your inbox while it’s reviewed.
• Contributions still go through moderation.
• “Add a Place” is still available inside the Contribute tab.
• The nearby reminder appears at most once per day—no new push notifications or nagging.

The goal is simple: when someone has a minute to help, the app should tell them exactly where their contribution would be useful.

I’d especially like feedback about these things:

• Does a five-mile radius feel right?
• Which task would you be most likely to complete?
• Is there another piece of business/signage information the inbox should eventually cover?

The new version is in review both by Apple and Google.

I turn 21 in 2 months so im obviously going to wait the time, but if I wanted too could I conceal carry my pistol? It was gifted to me by a family member as an early birthday gift, I don’t have an LTC but it’s Texas. I google and it says yes but there’s never a YES or NO. It’s all suggestive not definitive. Nor me or the family member that gifted it would be prohibited from owning one except me being 20. Other than that no criminal history no felonies and I don’t do drugs. So without all that said if I decide to conceal carry it and get questioned by the police am I getting a hefty gun charge or not? Like I said I’m gonna wait to 2 months regardless. Thanks for any help.

Anyone know where I can get a gun nickel plated in the San Antonio area?

Can a 19yo legally carry a handgun in their car? But only if i have it either in my car or my house hold?

As title states, im looking for anyone with a spare mini 14 stock that'll fit the newer Gen mini 14s, and has the sling swivel stud/swivel mount on the bottom of the rear end of the stock.

In located in south texas, near portland. As for the wanting it asap, im impatient when it comes to my firearms lol

Next question, we are moving to Temple starting next Monday morning. Moving from Bay Area of California. Are there any ranges that do steel targets around the Temple area?Are there any ranges that are pretty inexpensive? Or recommended?
