    My 2 cents.
    I looked at all the prime "smg like" configurations $3K under and the Stribog came out on top with the eight inch barrel providing better velicoty than std 9mm handguns, cheap $25 mags and a great value for substantiallyless money! It my understanding the Mfg is working on a roller delayed opsys. It's current blowback sys has been in smg use in Slovakia for years.

    Somewhere in the pipeline they are coating/dipping the exterior. I don't understand the reasoning behind this since they're alway sold out! Reminds me of car dealerships add on's to boost mark up margins. Lol

    I was actively looking for one until WuFlu craziness started. They've only had a $75(+-) price bump. I'd still buy it if I could find one.

    My .02. I know it's cool but...What does this do that a g17L with a happy stick wont?? Not to mention 1/2 the weight?? Not even mentioning reliability and cheap mags.Stick a roni on it for the extra cool factor.

    Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
    Both launch 9mm pills as fast as you can pull the trigger.

    However, where those pills end up due to a number of factors is where the difference is. For me, with the B&T guns, the ergonomics are almost exactly like my SCAR, so it’s a great trainer to reinforce the manual of arms while practicing CQB work on steel.

    And yes, you can build a 9mm AR for seat cushion change, but I won’t go down that rabbit hole conversation again.

    Well that makes sense. Same manual of arms, less shooting cost (use to be, lol)and a solid backup.

    He said virtually nothing about the trigger.
    "I like the trigger"
    That's it?

    I will look for the Garand Thumb review.
    Thank you for posting this.
    I will clean the firearms after every use so I would still buy it - specially if it has a great trigger.

    Almost done with my tree stand deer thumper. PSA lower, sba brace, giselle braided 42 spring, giselle h3 buffer, bear creek upper 10.5 inch in 450 Bushmaster. Pmag with follower and monopod ( only 10 rds fit, lol) Magpul single point sling and Tapco sling mount. Magpul k grip. Vortex spitfire 3x.
    May change a few things around, have to play with it and see. Gonna "0" at 50 yards.

    The Stribog A3 video from MAC (Military Arms Channel) is a better and more informative video. The bolt not closing right happened to me on my roller locked C308 also, so probably the roller locks in general are problematic? Maybe if I get a Stribog I'll stick with the Gen2 (no roller locks) and get the non-reciprocating handle mod and then the aftermarket Glock mag compatible lower

    What a beast! 50 yards in and your gonna decimate whatever you hit. Cool build.

    Friends don't let friends buy Taurus. :D
    2 out of 3 Taurus revolvers I've owned have been messed up, and one of those was messed up like three different ways. The one that wasn't messed up was a really old pre-lifetime warranty South American military surplus 38 Special. I really liked that one. It was a copy of our Victory revolvers, with the lanyard loop and everything. Paid all of $150 dollars for it and it served me well until I upgraded to S&W 65

    I bought my 17 year old daughter a Taurus 65 as her first pistol. We've fired 500 or so .38 special out of it. So far so good. While I probably wouldn't buy one for competition shooting, it's been a great gun for her to learn the basics of revolvers on. I did let her run two cylinders of federal hst .357 through it, @12 yards she had 11 of the 12 shots close enough to cover with a closed fist. The second shot was a flier, but she'd just fired a full power .357 for the first time and flinched in anticipation of the recoil.

    How many rds will a 20rd or 10rd Mag Pul hold ?? --- SAWMAN
    20 rd gi holds about 5, you can shove in 2 more but I don't. I'm guessing a 10 rd would do 3? Ya gotta remember it becomes a Single stack mag. Ya lose some capitcy with the follower, it goes over the regular follower . Pmag is a maybe, have to see how it acts when shooting. I think the poly lips are gonna be trouble and the post guide in the front of the mag body. Rounds are just huge. Oal. Its funny how useful and capable those old "crappy" gi 20rd mags are. Wish I had a box full.
