This is maybe a big box store phenomenon.
I was at Cabelas in Noblesville, and the outfitter behind the counter was showing the customer various ARs…
I really didn’t give them a second look until he showed the customer a Springfield Saint with the California compliant strike pistol grip. This is the grip with the absolutely obnoxious blade on it to make it California compliant.
I saw that thing and it really shocked me, first what dimwits try and sell that to anyone in Indiana?
It was really clear that the gun buyer just hated the thing, as it prevented him from really grasping the pistol grip. I mentioned to them that the reason for it was California compliance. The outfitter responded that they sold a number of ARs here with that sort of grip, I bit my tongue but the gun buyer was clearly preturbed by the blade on the grip. So I mentioned that if it really bugged him for 15 bucks or whatever he could put on one from the accessories isle. I them left them too it with no further comment.
So what the hell, are some of these big box stores really dumb enough to sell this stuff here?
it’s not the first time, I at one time saw a used bushmaster at Gander Mountain with a bullet button mag release.
