  1. I know why they have to say it, but if those things are pistols then so is my M-1 rifle.

    • Worse yet, GF, every one of those is a felony to posses in Florida with those binary triggers… 🙁

      • Geoff, I didn’t know that. Again, it’s one of those things that I don’t care about, but shouldn’t be illegal. Yeah, I’ve heard the argument, “They’ll come for your duck gun next!” Binary triggers? Really? Just go do the paperwork, spend the money, and buy an automatic weapon. Same with a bump stock. Then again, the government handed me my first automatic weapon in 1979. I turned in my last automatic weapon to the government in 2014. They are fun, but they’re almost pedestrian to me. As an aside do you have any large caliber Colt SAA, or S&W revolvers at your disposal?

        • “As an aside do you have any large caliber Colt SAA, or S&W revolvers at your disposal?”

          The only single-action I currently have you don’t likely want, the little North American Arms .22 lr ‘mini-revolver’.

          The last large caliber revolver of any type I owned is long gone, my Ruger Super Redhawk in .44 mag (Fun gun!).

          My EDC is the Ruger LCR in.357…

          • Geoff, you are correct again. I have no interest in a NAA revolver. lol However, I have to say a very good friend, who’s opinion I respect, drops one in his pocket every day. (It’s a backup)

    Been needing to reread the FL Statutes re weapons for *several* years, and just did – see no language banning binary triggers – could you point to it?

    Disclaimer – l have zero interest pro or con in binary triggers, they even seem unsafe or counter productive to me from the POV of personal use. Just curious.

    • “see no language banning binary triggers – could you point to it?”

      That came about as a result of the Ft. Lauderdale school shooter. The wording is criminally-vague, ripe for abuse.

      I think this is it – 790.222 :

      “…or a device used to alter the rate of fire of a firearm to mimic automatic weapon fire or which is used to increase the rate of fire to a faster rate than is possible for a person to fire such semiautomatic firearm unassisted by a kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device.”

      http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0700-0799/0790/Sections/0790.222.html

      Just by the wording, a simple trigger cleanup job would technically-qualify as increasing the rate of fire.

      I have no idea if it is even being challenged legally yet… 🙁

      • I am sceptical that language is either aimed at or accidentally applies to binary triggers. 1) does not mimic a machine gun, and 2) proving it really increases the rate of fire beyond an ordinary trigger could be difficult.

        And it is a sentence fragment from a law banning bumpstocks…

        That said, if an FFL won’t touch it, it is moot.

        I would bet no one has been charged, much less is challenging the law, because the binary is a gimmick nobody gives a crap about…

        But anyhow, thanks much for the clarification.

        • Agree the binary is a bullshit gimmick, but seeing as how a binary functions on the pull and the release of the trigger separately, a charge by an asshole leftist DA could happen.

          I don’t have the resources to fund being a test case, as I suspect most are in the same boat as I.

          I still hope someone challenges it on principal alone…

  4. No 300 Blackout? Don’t really care I already have one.
    So now they’re all of a sudden building these? Pussies.

  5. No 300 Blackout? I don’t really care I already have an awesome 300 Blk pistol.
    So now all of the sudden they are building them?
    Kattsies!

  6. Because the trigger kit is expensive it’s cost effective to purchase the Franklin assembled binary lower. Not for sale in: CA, CT, DC, DE, FL, HI, IA, IL, MD, NJ, NY, RI, and WA.

    • The gist of the round black thing the Korean woman looks through is an adjustable iris, like in a film camera. By ‘stopping down’ the opening, less light passes trough, but what does has an enhanced depth-of-field, bringing the front sight and target both into sharper focus…
