Any guesses what it will be about?  Or will it be, "Gone Ice Fishing"...... :(

What would you like it to be about?  At the moment, I haven't identified a topic; let me know.

smokeless joe

How about more info on the new Black Widow sights and the launch of the new breaktops? Heck it's your show Sandy you write and we'll read  :D

Well, I can say I've been through all the Soapboxes that are available, and none were a disappointment or boring.

Not being a Mini owner (yet?), my big interest would be the possibilty of a .22LR Guardian. Useful, less expensive practice fill-in for my .32. Straight out fun, too. Nobody makes a high quality .22 pocket auto. Beretta 21A is fair, but no cigar. All stainless with an extractor would be great.

OV is a little shy, but we are trying to get him out of his shell. Of course you may continue to post and and ask questions. You would enjoy it more if you had a mini. Or 2. Or 17.  :)

Sandy-
What about mentioning some of the coatings and how they are applied and how durable they are supposed to be, ie: black BlackWidow and Rainbow. Also any progress on the nite sights for the BW would be a welcome plus. A little chatter about the blued and color case hardened guns would help them find new homes. There have been a couple who would like to see a blue or CCH BW.

Just in case you have something super secret you have not mentioned yet, maybe drop just enough to get our eyebrows raised.....

How about the Guardian line; the available Custom Shop work for such and any accessories that might be added to it?

RogueTS1 - The website shows all the custom work and accessories for Guardians and Minis. If someone can dream up even more, go for it!

Okay, some think I'm some sort of imposter for being here when all I have is a Guardian 32. That's a NAA, right? There are so many minis, maybe I'm just waiting to see what's next. I don't have the income for a herd of minis, but the 2.5 inch Ranger II has my eye.

Little has happened with Guardians since the .32NAA cartridge in 2002. Maybe it's their turn now, with an addition to the Guardian line. Wouldn't take a lot to re-engineer the 32 into a 22. Narrower magazine and well, new bore and firing pin channel, different recoil springs. The same extractor may work, if inset slightly deeper.

More than you are probably thinking.  RED FLAG Laws are the least Constitutional laws any state has passed.  Indiana has a Red Flag Law, having read it is looks like a person can simply tell the police they are afraid because the person living there owns guns. 

Suppose a neighbor and you get into an argument about anything.  Neighbor feel like they should have been able to make you sorry you ever tangled with them...so he calls the cops, and tells them, since previously you had thought him a friend, knows you have guns and wants to kill you, though he has never actually threatened you. 

Search and Seizure warrant in hand the SWAT Team comes to the door and than it all happens....(yeah I know it happened in another state but it is a good example of what is wrong with these laws as they are written)

Oh yes we got the Red Flag Law.
And it has been used.

From Uncle Lee's news story you can see that once they take them they are going to try never to give them back to you even if you have evidence that you are not a danger to anyone. The other thing that struck me in that article was that the prosecutor in 2018, which is 6 years after the event that started the red flag, thought that the subject of the red flag had to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he was no longer a threat. Isnt it the job of the prosecutor to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he is a threat? These red flag laws need to go all the way to the supreme court asap.

These red flag laws need to go before the supreme court as soon as Ruth Bader Ginsberg is replaced.

I would like to see a soapbox detailing the issues regarding making Rangers versus Sidewinders versus standard Minis. Special machinery, special orders, special delays in getting parts ...
