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.
