Anyone have any experience wit Palmetto State Armory? Looking for a cheap AK that works. I’ve heard mixed reviews on them.

They had a Springfield armory 9mm xdm elite for a crazy low price
I just don’t like fooling around with a FFL holder to retrieve my gun

Anything built by former or current communist countries is always a gamble.

From China, there is Norinco. I have fired some Norinco made guns that were absolute gems, some that needed some minor gunsmithing and turned out great afterwards, and others that were just plain turds.

Better luck is had with Russian, former satellite nations and Eastern Europe. Polish made stuff is excellent.

Do NOT ever buy any type of gun made in Egypt! They're great at building pyramids, but they suck at everything else.

Sooo many cheap-o Ak's were made by sooo many nations with wildly varying quality control standards.

Ordered one of these. Not sure why but the XD rarely gets used anymore so maybe it will in this format.

Eh I don’t really care for those sort of things. To me if you want a rifle… buy a rifle. I get what you want it for, just not my thing. I carry my XD .45 so while it doesn’t get much use it has a purpose.

Pistol caliber carbines are OK but if I got one it would be one designed as a carbine instead of a pistol add on

I agree. I have two AR’s an AK and a mini 14. No need for one of those. Don’t need that pistol/rifle gimmick here.

I have a Ruger .44 carbine that is fun to shoot and enough power to justify the slightly longer barrel. Still limited to much shorter ranges than a true rifle caliber.

Also due to recent changes in hunting rules here pistol carbines are legal for deer while rifles using bottleneck cases are not.

Generally agreed. But for less than the price of th Hi Point carbine I kept looking at…

I've had some deer encounters that I could have handled with a club.

More than a bit of Neanderthal DNA did appear in my Dad's profile

Almost every <40 yo, self-professed gun expert/enthusiast upon sight of any gun with a wooden stock, or that is NOT an AR variant or Glock:

"What the hell is that?"

Illinois is about to ban a lot of weapons. Might be time to panic buy!
