The Springfield 911 380 ACP Alpha Handgun

 

How do you follow up a successful brand like the 1911 series? In 2018 Springfield armory found the answer to this question; the new 911 series. Springfield Armory outdid themselves in developing the 911 backup gun. Firearms for sale in Ogden UT, like the Springfield 911 380 ACP, provide the 1911 experience in a smaller and highly concealable frame.

The Springfield 911 380 ACP Alpha is a single action recoil operated semi-automatic pistol that fires and handles like a Springfield 1911. Firing is made easier with drift adjustable sights. The fiber optic sight on the front post provides excellent night sight, while the white rear dots are visible for some daytime combat.

The Springfield 911 380 ACP features a full-length guide rod with flat wire spring recoil system, a stainless steel slide with a loaded chamber indicator, and a polymer crossed canon grip. Now that you are familiar with the highlights and features of the 911 380 ACP by Springfield Armory; why should you have this gun in your collection?

Five Reasons why the Springfield 911 might be the gun for you:

1. Lightweight and Highly Concealable

At a length of 5.5 inches and a height of 3.9 inches, the Springfield 911 Alpha is smaller than its competition and highly concealable. You can fit this gun inside your purse, in your car, or holster it under your shirt without drawing attention. Springfield opted for an aluminum frame to shed weight; this change made the 12.6oz Springfield 911 Alpha one of the lightest handguns on the market.

2. Handling and Grip

Some folks may criticize the Springfield 911 Alpha for its aggressive texture. For a pint-sized lethal weapon like the 911 380 ACP, the grippier the better. The front and back straps of the aluminum frame feature the Springfield Octa-grip; a series of trapezoidal-textured partners that that appear like brickwork. The Springfield flat wire spring is easy to compress yet strong enough to tame the recoil. The stainless steel slide features a series of bi-lateral chevron cork markings that help with slide manipulation.

3. Easy to maintain

The 911 Alpha is a tool-less gun. What tool-less means, is that you do not need any tools to strip or assemble the firearm. Under the slide, is a 2.7" 416R stainless steel barrel that is resistant to rust or chemical decay.

4. Pocket-Friendly Price

At a manufacturer's recommended sale price of $420, the 911 Alpha is more affordable than its competition. You also get a weapon with two high-quality magazines available: a 6-round flash stainless steel magazine, and a 7-round extended magazine. Another amazing fact is that these magazines are compatible with other 380 pistols.

5. Accuracy

Online gun dealers like Impact Guns believe the 911 Alpha is highly accurate and lethal in short to medium ranges. The Springfield 911 380 is a single action pull pistol with a shorter pull than other handguns. While firing, reset by the trigger is barely noticeable. Just like the grip, the trigger is made from G10 polymer, ensuring comfortable handling and manipulation.

The Springfield 911 Alpha 380 ACP is a great gun to have. Its handling abilities give you great confidence, and it's available for purchase at Impact Guns today!

New York Rifle and Pistol Association Versus the City of New York

The United States Supreme Court took up its most important gun rights case in nearly a decade. The Supreme Court will hear a challenge against New York City's strict restrictions on handgun transportation outside the home and outside the state.

Facts of the Case

It is illegal in the state of New York to assume ownership of a firearm without a valid license. For a handgun license, as the holder of the weapon, you must apply with the local license office. Under the laws of New York, the firearm license officer is the police commissioner. There are two types of licenses in the state of New York; the carry license and the premises license. The premises license permits the firearm license holder to possess within his dwelling a handgun (a pistol or revolver). A premises license is specific and valid only to the stated address with exceptions under specified circumstances. An example of such circumstance is the transportation of the firearm to and from a small arms range or shooting club. This exception only works when the firearm is transported unloaded and locked in a container. Should the licensee wish to carry ammunition, they must get a separate carriage.

Three New York residents (holders of premises firearm licenses) sought to transport their firearms outside the state to shooting ranges and competitive events, which is prohibited by the current law. The petitioner, New York State Rifle and Pistol Association and the three individuals filed a lawsuit in federal district court, requesting the court to declare the current restrictions by the city as unconstitutional and enjoin the enforcement of the rule.

Implications of the Supreme Court's anticipated decision on New York's Gun Laws

1. Interstate Commerce

The current laws of New York do not only place a restriction on its citizens' 2nd Amendment rights but also deprives out of state businesses like hunting parks and shooting ranges from a stream of income. Because the law does not allow you to carry your gun out of state, to a certain degree, you may feel discouraged to travel out of state to a shooting range. This negatively affects businesses that offer these services. Should the supreme court declare the New York gun law as unconstitutional, there will be a positive economic impact, which may mean jobs and income for the locals.

2. Travel

What happens when you move from one state to the next? New York's Current laws prohibit anyone from transporting a licensed firearm from the stated residence to outside the state. For example, if you decided to uproot your New York home to settle in Chicago, your licensed firearm would pose a legal challenge to your plans. If the Supreme Court were to stop the City of New York from enforcing these rules, citizens could move freely with their guns from state to state.

3. 2nd Amendment Rights Infringement

Restricting the transportation of arms and ammunition threatens the right to bear arms. Some people do not own guns because of New York's gun policies. If a favorable result comes from the Supreme Court, citizens may get to enjoy their fundamental constitutional rights by purchase their good concealed carry pistol from one of the leading Utah gun stores online.

Why Hunters and shooters are Crazy on Marlin 1894 CSBL?

Hunters and shooters looking for a lever-action rifle should find the Marlin 1894 CSBL a fantastic option. It is chambered in .357 Magnum, and you can also feed it 38 Special, by reducing the hit to your wallet. This new Marlin is made in Ilion, New York, and it is the ticket for hunters who want to carry the same cartridge for their hunting rifle as they do for their sidearm.

The Marlin 1894 CSBL utilizes the flat-top, side-ejector receiver that was initially patterned in 1893 by Luis Hepburn. Alongside the improved one-piece trigger, Luis's sophisticated design included a two-piece firing pin and a locking bolt, an innovative design at the time. The 1894's short receiver enables cartridge compatibility with 1888 and 1889 models.

One of the best new Marlin 1894 models in the market, the CSBL is a relatively light lever carbine made of stainless steel. The Marlin 1894 CSBL is chambered in .357 Magnum; which makes it compatible with many popular sidearms. The Marlin 1894 CSBL features a 16.5” stainless steel barrel that is cut to a 1:16" twist rate, making the rifle quite accurate for a lever-action. The 16.5" barrel is long enough to deliver good medium range accuracy, with significantly improved bullet speed and energy when compared to a handgun.

This stainless steel rifle is fitted with a wild-west style big loop lever for fast follow-up shots even while wearing gloves.  Marlin Firearms ships the gun with an XS Lever Rail that is pre-fitted with a ghost ring sight. The XS Rail allows you to mount a low-power scope or a red-dot sight for maximum precision and flexibility. The front sight is a ramp front blade design that is visible in low-light situations.

Whichever type of sight you settle for, target acquisition is quick. The bolt of the gun is machine forged from solid steel, and the magazine tube holds up to eight rounds. The laminate black and gray pistol-grip stock is enhanced for durability and weather resistance. Modern additions to the gun include a hammer-block safety and a cross-block safety. The overall length of this rifle is 38.5 inches, and the rifle weighs in at approximately 6.5 pounds.

If you are the owner of a .38 Special or .357 Magnum revolver, then the Marlin 1894 CSBL may be the perfect all-around rifle for you. Having a rifle chambered in the same caliber as your handgun reduces the need for additional ammo and provides you with additional range and stopping power.  If you haven't picked up your new Marlin 1894 CSBL carbine, now is the time. The 1894 CSBL is eight rounds of firepower in a light, compact, and fast rifle that is made to shoot and is as elegant as it looks.

California High Capacity Magazine Ban Struck Down by Federal Judge

Judge Benitez of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California held that the California ban on high capacity magazines in California Penal Code 32310 violates the Second Amendment. California defines High Capacity Magazines as holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

The court referenced instances where homeowners used firearms in the home for self-defense. One homeowner ran out of ammunition due to the difficulty in accessing a spare magazine or having another firearm immediately available. Another was heavily outnumbered by multiple intruders with firearms.

The Heller Test

The following facts used in the decision are based on the Heller Test:

●    Guns are used for self-defense

●    Magazines are required to make many common guns operable

●    Nationwide, millions of high capacity magazines are owned by law-abiding citizens for self-defense

●    Magazines that are limited in capacity infringe upon a citizen's ability to use common guns for lawful purposes, such as self-defense

Ultimately, the ban fails because it criminalizes a law-abiding citizen's possession of a common magazine that is used for lawful purposes and prohibits its use for self-defense in and around the home.

Additional references in the decision are:

●    All guns are inherently dangerous and protected by the Second Amendment

●    Firearms cannot be categorically prohibited because they are dangerous

●    The relative dangerousness of a weapon is irrelevant when the weapon belongs to a class of arms commonly used for lawful purposes.

Another important factor in the court's decision is the apparently arbitrary number of 10 rounds being safe and 11 rounds being too dangerous. What then would prevent the government from changing that number to 8? to 3? to 1?

Historically Accepted Prohibitions

The State of California has argued that high capacity magazines have been the subject of regulation since the 1930s. Using this argument, they determined that these regulations are historically accepted and beyond the reach of the Second Amendment. However, the reality is that the first ban limiting magazine capacity was passed in 1990 in New Jersey. This ban applied to magazine capacities over 15 rounds. Since detachable magazines have existed for more than a century, and government restrictions have only been more recent, the historically accepted prohibitions argument does not hold.

Failure of the Intended Purpose of the California Ban on High Capacity Magazines

California's ban on high capacity magazines was based on the belief that the unavailability of magazines holding greater than 10 rounds would reduce the number of victims in mass shootings. Yet in 14 of the 17 mass shootings over a 36 year period in California, no large capacity magazines were used. Instead, the shooters carried multiple firearms. 3 mass shootings involved single weapons. One was a revolver; one was a California legal 10-round pistol; the third was carried out by a New Mexico resident who legally purchased a 15-round pistol in New Mexico before traveling to California. California's high capacity magazine ban did nothing to prohibit these mass shooting crimes.

Ten years of a federal ban on large-capacity magazines did not stop mass shootings nationally. Twenty years of a California ban on large capacity magazines have not stopped mass shootings in California.

The Second Amendment was created to allow the citizens of the United States the opportunity to protect itself from a tyrannical government. And now the Government aims to limit the citizens' ability to protect itself.

Circumventing High Capacity Magazine Bans

Bans on high capacity magazines are easily circumvented by carrying multiple magazines and/or multiple loaded firearms. The time required to swap magazines or grab another loaded firearm is insignificant and has not been shown to reduce mass shooting casualties. In fact, the Parkland High School shooter carried 15 10-round magazines. No data that the California ban on high cap mags is effective.

The "Most Useful for Military Service" Argument

It has been argued that large capacity magazines are most useful for military applications, and thus not protected by the Second Amendment for civilian citizens. This argument fails because, at the time of the writing of the Second Amendment, both militia and civilian would have had access to a musket rifle. There was no distinction between more useful for military or civilian.

Conclusion

The Federal Court finds that magazines are defined as arms in the context of the Second Amendment. Criminalizing the purchase and/or possession of common magazines is a violation of the Second Amendment. As such, California Penal Code 32310 is declared to be unconstitutional in its entirety.

Act Now

With this decision on March 29th, 2019, California residents are allowed to purchase and possess high capacity magazines. This may change if the Attorney General seeks and receives a stay on this decision. If you are interested in large capacity magazines, you might consider going to Impact Guns, the largest online gun store and ordering magazines while you can.

The new Glock Slimline Series now available at Impact Guns

On January 2, 2018, Glock unveiled two new additions to the Glock Slimline Series; the G43X- 9mm  and the G48- 9mm pistols. Glock is a leading global force in the manufacture of firearms, and their signature polymer-based pistols established their handguns as favorites for law enforcement and military use.

With a width of 28mm, the G43X's profile is slightly wider than the G43 and slimmer than the G19. The G43X Silver Slide features the Slim 01 magazine which has a maximum capacity of ten 9mm Luger rounds.

The G48 Slimline pistol has a 106mm barrel under its PVD coated Silver slide. Apart from its slim nature, the G48's profile is similar to that of Glock's G19. Identical to the G43X, the G48 uses the Slim 01 magazine which is compatible with a maximum of ten 9mm Luger rounds.

Why the Slimline?

1. The Slimline Silver Slide Firearms are highly concealable: The Glock Slimline Silver Slide firearms are slimmer and highly concealable. With a width of only 28mm, both the G43X and the G48 are thinner than Glock's G19. The G43X features a 3.41 inch/87mm barrel, making it shorter than the G48 and highly concealable.

2.  Glock's Safe Action System®: Like other Glock firearms, the G48 comes with Glock's safety features; the Glock Safe Action System. With a trigger safety, a firing pin safety, and drop safety; all these safety features automatically disengage and reengage at the respective pull and release of the trigger. These safety features provide the consistent trigger pull action that Glock is popular for.

3. Consistent Trigger Pull action: Glock pistols are famed for their consistency and accuracy. The Glock Slimline Silver Slide is no exception. Both the G43X and the G48 have a smooth and consistent trigger pull from the first round to the last.

4. Higher Magazine capacity: Before the Slime line, Glock's highly concealable firearm was the G43. The G43, however, came with one disadvantage; it only carried six rounds. Slimline's new G43X is as long as the G43 but carries more cartridges. Both Guns in the Slimline Silver Slide series have a maximum magazine capacity of 10 rounds; bringing the G19's features in a slimmer and shorter frame.

5. Compact Grip: Grip has a vital role to play in gun handling. You do not want a pistol that slips from your hand every time you fire. The Glock Slimline Silver Slide handguns feature diamond shaped studs, giving the best grip to your hands.

Smaller than the G19 Glock and with a larger magazine capacity than the G43 subcompact handgun, both pistols in the new Slimline Silver Slide 9mm firearms are the perfect size for everyday concealed carry.
