Well I say why not get one. And I'd like to know if this Slide Fire is the same as a bumpstock in general.
I think if you can handle one efficiently it's kind of an equilizer of sorts when the hoards of zombies are coming and you need to lay down a lot of lead and no time for precision shots.

Yeah, it absolutely is not a practical replacement for basic marksmanship.

They are fun however and if that's what gets you going, so be it. Always wanted to try one on a 22lr AR. I'm not discouraging anyone from buying one, just trying to set realistic expectations.
 
Well look. We all know it ain't accuracy we are looking for with these and ya gonna waste ammo. That's not the question at hand.
I'd Iike to know who's is best. All the old reviews are just that, old.
 
I’m getting one if this gets reversed, I had no use for one before but you bet I do if the ATF gets their hand slapped!
 
Why not just get a binary trigger if you want faster mag dumps?

I bought one for my PC9 in a moment of weakness and it definitely cleans out a 33 rounder quick while still letting me keep the bullets on target!

Best bump stock? Putting the cart before the horse here a bit, don't ya think?

Nobody makes or sells them anymore...not since Trumps very stupid and boneheaded move when he ordered them banned.

Slide fire was perhaps the biggest...maybe the best, but they are shut down now...gone.

Don't be in a hurry to buy one...not unless you are looking for a cheap way to euthanize your dog when the gentle hand of the ATF Knocks on your door at 3am.

This is far from over. If the DOJ appeals...it will take a awhile. If the DOJ doesn't appeal...it will take a while. SCOTUS moves slower than a snail. This angers me to no end as well...it's very clear...this ban is ILLEGAL..like a lot of crap the ATF and other alphabet agencies do.

Even in the 5th circuit territory..I'd surprised if anyone start production a sales...just too early.

All that said...bumpstocks are a gimmick. They were only good for making noise...ticking off your liberal neighbors...and wasting ammo. You would have a hard time hitting the side of a barn at 30 yards with one...literally.

On this note...to counter the lefties argument that they are good for gunning down crowds of people...no. I don't believe for a second that manic in Vegas used bump stocks. Pictures speak a thousand words. The pictures we saw showed a bump stock on a rifle...ON A BI POD.
Bump stocks can't be used with a bi pod...

The basis of banning them was pure none sense in the first place.

Ok...all that said again...just wait and see what happens.

That's because they're illegal, unless registered with the ATF. Since they're just a toy, designed to turn money into noise faster, I don't think many thought it worthwhile to register them. So, unless Trump's ban gets overturned, you're not likely to see new reviews.

There was no "registration". It was either destroy them...or turn them in. No grandfather clause. No possible way at all to keep your property.

There are NONE out there. All were destroyed...just a relative handful were turned in to the ATF. The rest were destroyed by those who bought them.

I stand corrected. For some reason I thought they could be registered as a machine gun. Certainly explains the lack of reviews. It'll be interesting to see what prices are like if the ban gets reversed.

Thanks to some last minute, back room dealing back stabbing...the Huges Amendment was added to the 1986 GOPA...which banned class 3 (ie...machine guns) made after March 1986 from being transferable into civilization hands. Only those that where registered before then..are the only ones that can be legally transfered. There are no exceptions to this. Since the AFT declared bumpstocks to be machine guns...(illegally)..there was no possible way to obtain a tax stamp for them...hence the only choices were...turn in..or destroy.

It's a bunch of BS...and I can't wait till somebody in the Judiciary branch finally calls this out. Looking at you SCOTUS.
 
With the high price of ammo these days I can't see anyone in their right mind running out to buy one.
It may be just a ploy to see who has them packed away & when the laws change back the other way the BATF can be knocking on your door.
 
How did this make it to the 9th post before someone mentioned it was highly illegal to own one, I was starting to think I was in some kind of alternate reality. o_Oo_O
FWIW: I had one for years, it was fun but that’s about it, no practical purpose to them. By the time they were banned I basically only used mine to let other people shoot it. I had kind of got burnt out on it after 10k rounds or so, but I never saw anyone shoot it that was t smiling.

That’s because of the news of the ban being unconstitutional and the potential of it heading to the courts.

Yeah but they are currently still illegal (and they will continue to be despite the current optimism), that seems an important point in a conversation about the best one.

I'll give it 50/50 chance the ban gets overturned...

It they do become legal...strong chance IF it becomes another case in itself before SCOTUS...I can see Hughs getting tossed in the same case...but alas I'm being hopeful

Even it it falls our way, congress would finally agree one something and ban them with actual legislation.
I give < 1% chance they are ever legal and available again.

Yes, but...just but, with the SCTUS ruling...I'm not sure they could...not that they won't try. It all depends what happens if and when the court takes the case...and how they write the opinion.

For those of us who understand the clearly, plainly written 2nd Amendment..any gun control is unconstitutional.
 
The major issue with the "bump stock ban" and especially the way the NRA quietly rolled over on it, is that it lays the groundwork for expanding this ruling to ban all semi-auto firearms since all semi-autos can be "bump fired" without the assistance of any device with a modicum of practice. I got rid of my bump stock when my friend sold his ranch and I no longer had a place to shoot it, but as was said in other posts they are good at turning money onto noise, as are fireworks, and like fireworks everyone I ever let shoot it was grinning ear to ear afterwards. No public or private range I know of allows bump stocks because virtually none have adequate berms and landing zones for potentially wildly uncontrolled shots.

I would have bought truck loads just for the paper if they had opened the registry for machineguns again.

Not to mention, without new law that had to go through Congressional approval.

They just moved the posts.
 
AS I mentioned in post #7, there are other court cases where the bump stock ban has been upheld.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals; the Denver-based 10th Circuit; and the federal circuit court in Washington have all made the decision to uphold the bump stock ban/

The initial ruling by a panel of 3 judges in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals initially decided for keeping the ban in place. The full 5th Circuit court of Appeals, currently with 16 active members, voted to reconsider the case. Arguments were heard Sept. 13. It was the full court in the 5th Circuit that decided that the ban was unconstitutional. And this ruling only effects the areas covered by the 5th Circuit.

So as you can see three other courts have ruled to let the ban stand. And until all of these cases get resolved at the Supreme Court, then bump stocks will remain to be illegal to possess. And so far the SC has declined hearing the other three cases from the 6th, 10th and DC Circuit Courts.

As already mentioned, if Congress decides to pass an actual law concerning braces AND if any new laws state that bump stocks are machine guns, then one has no way to register one with the NFA. All new machine guns were banned in 1986 with the passage of the Hughes Amendment.

I would not start using a bump stock when 3 out of 4 appeals cases have upheld the ban.
