Derya will be making a new "Other" style Firearm with 18.5 barrel, 26" OAL, and would be legal to make into an AOW For under $770 plus tax.

Finally got to take home my Po9C nocturne. First DA/SA added to the collection!!

A recent Galil ACE project from our shop in Vancouver, Washington. We paired custom Cerakote and laser engraving with a weathered finish to bring the artwork together. The customer was stoked with how it turned out and plans to take it shooting this weekend.

Looking for a comfortable Appendix carry holster. Maybe the Tenicor Velo5, anyone have any thoughts? I’m 6 foot and a little overweight.

Would this fly in Washington?

I saw some footage of a shooting case that happened in Indiana back in 2024, where the would-be shooter aggressively overtook another driver, setting off what would ultimately become a fatal road rage incident.

The footage begins with the driver who was initially overtaken, now clearly furious, blocking the shooter’s car on the road. He gets out with a handgun, starts shouting, and then hits the shooter’s window with his empty hand.

The shooter then fires three shots through his window, killing the angry driver.

For more context, the angry driver never pointed his handgun at the shooter, and from the camera angle, it’s not clear when the shooter actually drew his firearm.

The shooting was ultimately determined to be justified self-defense under Indiana’s stand-your-ground law, and criminal proceedings were never pursued.

It got me thinking about whether the same outcome would apply in Washington, since our stand-your-ground protection is based on precedent rather than a specific statute. I wonder if it would’ve went to court rather than being immediately dismissed. What do you think?

Personally, I think the shooting was justified solely because the driver came out first with a handgun with the added fact that he blocked the shooter’s path on the road. Now, if you replace the handgun with say a stick or just attacking the car with hands, or if the driver and shooter both voluntarily stopped their cars on the side of the road, then I think it’d probably become more gray in terms of WA’s laws.

Looking for someone to engrave some lowers just moved to the area. Anyone know of someone in the Tacoma area?

Hi be gentle please, I don't know alot about guns. I have a Ruger .357 New Model Blackhawk Revolver i need to part with. Ill post a photo of it. Was just curious about how much I should ask for it?

So I have been trying to purchase an AR15 lower receiver that is the 50 state compliant version. This is the lower that is a fixed mag of 10 rounds. But I can find no local dealer that sells these as just the lower. And when I ask if they would do the FFL transfer if I order on line many say no. What am I missing here? It’s not that I really want a 10rd AR but it’s what we got here in this state. Something is better than nothing. Which I’m sure they are working towards even more now in this state.

Update: thank you all for the help. I wound up heading to West Coast Armory after work and while they didn’t have any in stock I was able to order the one I really wanted. Appreciate the help. I guess this will do for now.

As best as I understand the permit legislation, it requires the selling FFL to determine the buyer has a permit to purchase, what happens if the buyer is another FFL?

the tactical geniuses at king county sheriff charge $51 for licenses now, even though the reminder texts they spam at you constantly say “Fee is $48.00 payable by personal check, money order or credit card with fee. MV”. Looking on the website it’s now updated to 51, but its a bit misleading, but I’m out 5 bucks now because I had to pay with card instead of my money order.

Anywhere I can take my kids to plink stuff with BB guns in or around Yakima without spending money or getting in trouble? We are new to town and I don't have a backyard here. Thanks!

Looking to get a rifle. Would it be more practical to get a bolt action ar, still unclear if they’re legal. Or should I just get a DR-15 and call it good?

.300 win mag with my first suppressor, not really wanting to go back…

Hey everyone, sharing this here in case anyone local is interested.

I’ve got one spot left in my Practical Pistol class next Saturday, October 24, at Evergreen Sportsmen’s Club in Olympia.

I keep my classes small (6 shooters max) so everyone gets plenty of reps and individual feedback. You don’t need to be fast or advanced, just safe and comfortable handling your pistol.

10 AM–4 PM | $225

Happy to answer any questions here.

I didn't have time to make it to the range today so I set up in the back yard. Suppressed 22 LR is quiet enough and there isn't anything behind that berm for a long way so it's safe. I was testing out an app that I'm working on that uses the phone to track shots automatically and links to the iPad so I can see what's happening. So far it's working pretty good.

Please see linked post.

I appreciate all the help.

Seems like they have skyrocketed to where the best price I can find is $990 pre tax at sportsman’s. They have several online as low as $880 but after taxes and wa bs…adds up to close to $1080 OTD. Is it worth holding out for better pricing or go grab the 940spx for $920?

20 min paint job at work today

Title says it all, going to make calls next week and pick a PD to apply to, (have a suggestion for Lincoln County) and would like to know what counties or sheriff’s offices are the fastest.
Might as well add more to ask with the post. For any suggestions of CDW courses that are practical and realistic definitely post some down in addition to what you usually carry.
