I've gotten the itch, but am still likely a year away from my first purchase of an NFA platform. I'm looking at a suppressed firearm, and would love input and thoughts on the following:
I'm thinking pistol first, although putting a can on my Bushy AR sounds REAL nice.
My thoughts around a pistol first come from general usability...I have more chances to use my pistols than my rifles.
I currently own an HK USPc .40, and am thinking about selling it to fund an FN .45. My thoughts are the FN is made and sold ready for cans, where I'd have to get a new barrel and likely new sights for the HK, not to mention it's a .40, with a much higher velocity than a .45. With the sub/supersonic side being a minor issue...does this make sense to the more experienced folks out there?
I've done a little research on what I need to do legally, trust vs individual, COP signature etc, but am unclear on each little step. I didn't see a sticky on that here, can someone direct me or provide a link? Thanks.
Keeping in mind I'm looking at a .45, is there much of a difference between Gemtech/AAC etc? I'm leaning Gemtech, but to be honest, the little research I've done doesn't put any one above the other. Personal experience and logical (not emotional) feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you all for your help, you guys have proven to be one of (if not THE) best sources of info great and small on firearms.
