Weird

A murdered Ecuadorian cartel boss known as “El Fatal” was buried with hundreds of pistols, shotguns and rifles in his coffin so he could be “armed to the teeth in the afterlife.” I am sure that God is not afraid of this thug. Grumpy

Gun control organizations have been seeking to dismantle the bipartisan Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA).

For years, gun control organizations have been seeking to dismantle the bipartisan Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA).

That’s the crucial federal law shielding firearm manufacturers and sellers from frivolous lawsuits designed to bankrupt law-abiding businesses by blaming them for the criminal misuse of lawfully sold firearms or drive the industry to its knees and impose gun control through court-ordered settlements. It is what former Clinton Secretary of Labor Robert Reich dubbed “regulation through litigation.”

Gun control advocates have unsuccessfully urged Congress to repeal the law, falsely claiming it provides total immunity from all lawsuits – a falsehood regularly repeated by President Joe Biden even though the media has fact-checked him and said it is not true.  In court, these groups have unsuccessfully challenged the PLCAA’s constitutionality. Attorney General Merrick Garland testified before Congress that the PLCAA was Constitutionally-sound, despite the contrary rhetoric coming from The White House and the gun ban lobby.

They continue to ask courts to misapply the law’s exceptions (disproving the total immunity claim). All these efforts are designed to open up a new floodgate of frivolous litigation against the industry not seen since the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was that litigation which the bipartisan PLCAA prevents.

Now, the enemies of the Second Amendment have opened up a new line of attack on the PLCAA. Surreptitiously led by the Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety, they have convinced a few “Blue” antigun legislatures to pass an unconstitutional “public nuisance” (anti-PLCAA) statute.

These statutes attempt an end run around the PLCAA to set the table for a renaissance of reckless lawsuits against members of the industry. NSSF is challenging the Everytown-backed laws in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, California, Illinois, Washington and Hawaii.

Out of the Shadows

Not content to be the “man behind the curtain,” however, Everytown is now stepping into the well of the courtroom to defend its unconstitutional law. Everytown Law recently filed petitions for three of their staff attorneys to represent Hawaii’s Attorney General Anne E. Lopez, in NSSF’s challenge to Hawaii’s unconstitutional “public nuisance” law. This puts Everytown Law in an active role, not just a supporting role, of defending unconstitutional laws.

NSSF is committed to preventing Everytown and other gun-grabbing organizations from destroying our industry and with it, the Second Amendment.

In a blatant display of its true intentions, Everytown has now stepped out from behind the scenes and onto center stage to defend Hawaii’s House Bill 426. This legislation seeks to impose vague and unenforceable “reasonable controls” on firearm products produced outside of Hawaii. It grants state officials, organizations and private individuals the power to unleash civil lawsuits against firearm industry members for the actions of deranged criminals.

Everytown’s court appearance in support of this bill is a glaring confirmation of its active role in undermining the PLCAA and burdening the firearm industry with stifling regulations that threaten the Second Amendment altogether.

This maneuver not only tramples on the rights of responsible gun owners but also heaves an unfair burden onto small businesses struggling to navigate an already complex legal and economic landscape inherent in operating with a Federal Firearms License (FFL).

Victimizing Victims

Everytown’s Affirmative Litigation Counsel, Alla Lefkowitz, is pivotal in the group’s campaign against the PLCAA. Formerly associated with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Lefkowitz’s history of spearheading legal action against firearm businesses is alarming. The infamous case involving the Phillips family is a prime example.

The Brady Center urged the family to bring a baseless lawsuit against Lucky Gunner, a firearm business, following the tragic murder of their daughter by a mentally ill criminal in Aurora, Colo., in 2012. Brady urged the family to sue without disclosing that both Colorado law and the PLCAA prevent such civil actions and left the family to fend for itself when its lawsuit predictably failed and, under Colorado law, they were required to pay the defendant’s attorney’s fees.

The result? The Phillips family was left bankrupt. This case underscores how gun control organizations like Everytown and Brady are ready to exploit grieving families’ emotions to advance their ideologies, even at the cost of justice and fairness.

Everytown’s masquerade as a champion of responsible firearm regulation is a sham. Their actions speak louder than their hollow words. By actively participating in “public nuisance” lawsuits and championing laws like Hawaii’s HB 426, Everytown lays plain its intention to undermine the PLCAA and smother the firearm industry with irrational restrictions that only erode the Second Amendment rights of Americans and do nothing to make communities safer. Their track record of manipulating tragic events for their own political gain is morally reprehensible.

True advocates for responsible firearm ownership must critically examine Everytown’s motives and actions to ensure genuine safety and justice prevail. Everytown’s tactics prioritize radical politics over the well-being of families and small businesses. It is imperative to unmask these deceitful ploys and stand against any agenda that threatens civil liberties and the integrity of industries that serve law-abiding citizens.

2022 COLT ANACONDA & WILSON COMBAT SIGHTS — APOLOGY GIVEN Mr. RevolverGuy |

THE HONEY MOON PHASE

Let me start out by saying I was wrong about Bill Wilson. I think we all have heard a fool and his money are easily parted. Honestly I was so excited about the new release of the Anaconda, in my eye it was just about perfect. I then saw a video with Mr. Wilson and Hackathorn saying they too love the new design but the rear sight leaves a lot to be desired. Keep in mind this video was prior to the announcement of new rear sights for sale. I immediately thought these guys take me for a FOOL, I didn’t even watch the video all the way through, even predicted they would be selling sights. That Monday I went to work and collaborated with a coworker who also purchased the 2020 Anaconda and we both laughed. I think his words were devils with a silver tongue trying to separate us from our money. He said watch I bet they will be offering sights soon.

Then just a few short days later there is a big announcement from Wilson about brand new rear sights and we laughed even harder. Though I was a little upset that Bill and Ken would bash Colt to sell his product. I mean I felt they could have easily said we have an improved design. That day I came home and really focused on the factory rear sight and quickly realized I was wrong mainly because I was still in the honeymoon phase with this revolver. I noticed a couple of things

1) The allen screw from the factory was not screwed in all the way therefor causing it to be loose in the groove.
2) I notice that the fit to frame was a little loose and I could fit a .004 feeler gauge between the side of the sight and milled slot it fits into.
3) I also noticed that the rear sight was very spongy easily to move up and down with your finger. This lead me to ask is this thing fragile, now its time for a comparison.

TIME FOR A CLOSER LOOK

Out come the calipers and the 44 Magnums for a closer comparison.
1) Ruger Redhawk nice fit but really thin rear blade I was shocked measuring at .0405 seems like it is one bump away from being bent — it won’t take much.

 

HOW DOES THE S&W CLASSIC DELUXE COMPARE

2) S&W 629 Deluxe probably the best design with the tightest fit to frame because it is screwed in, yet still the blade was very thin at .0555

 

WAIT CAN THE S&W PERFORMANCE CENTER DO A BETTER JOB?

3) S&W 629 Competitor Performance Center. I wanted to look at this revolver because it is fitted with LPA sights from the factory and what I have always believed to be some of the best sights out there. The fit is nice and tight and even though pinned there is no side to side movement. Very firm clicks for windage and elevation and I absolutely love the white markings. The rear blade carries a thickness of .0870

 

2022 COLT ANACONDA FACTORY SIGHTS

4) 2022 Colt Anaconda — The factory original rear sights were loose to fit easily moved from side to side and to my surprise also up and down the spring seemed to be very week. The rear sight measured in at .0770 thickness. I noticed also the red ramped front sight seemed to be a little thin for the rear sight, there was a lot of daylight on each side making it a little harder to get perfect sight picture.

 

WILSON COMBAT PERFECT MATCH TO THE ANACONDA

Ok so yes I ordered the Wilson rear sights. These sights came with everything you need to replace the rear sight except for a hammer and punch. It had an extra pin just in case you lose the original, and a new stiffer spring. Ok I guess I am the fool or better yet so in love with with gold bead front sights that I ordered the Wilson front sight also. Colt at least got this absolutely right, to replace both took me about 5 minutes not being in a rush. The front sight is held in by a little allen screw very nice design. The new Wilson rear sight measured .0990 the thickest and more robust of them all. The coolest thing about the Wilson sights is that they fit both the Python and Anaconda. For the 44 I chose the square notch rear sight and the gold bead front is just a perfect match. Nice even light can be seen when lining up the front and rear sight easily to detect that you have a perfect sight picture.

 

THE HONEY MOON IS OVER ANY WARTS WITH THE WILSON COMBAT SIGHTS?

Ensuring not to make the same honeymoon mistake I made originally. I evaluated these sight a number of times before heading to the range. this sight would be perfect if it was marked with white outlines like the LPA on the S&W Competitor. It is also missing any right to left marking on the rear sight which could have been easily put on top where Wilson Combat is stamped. But make no mistake they are much better than the factory, robustness and quality is top notch and I Love Them.
