Help me optimize my 114 FOMO purchases

[Camelfilter]

Palmetto State Armory is prioritizing Oregon FFL orders.

Their "Dagger" compact & full-size. Sorta Glock 19 & 17's. Not exact clones, but accept respective Glock magazines. Just not holsters.

Several frame deals, plus combo frame & AR lower deals. Decent values.

**I'd stay away from any deals with the "Micro", unless you are familiar with that Glock AND have (or will get) magazines for that one.**

Note: even with prioritized orders, allow 10 days for shipping to your FFL. 2-3 Days at PSA (pretty darned good, for them), then 7 days+ in transit. I don't believe there is anyway to expedite shipping lowers/frames from them. Unlike handguns.

2.0 was my first gun and still the best gun I own.

Enjoy your new lowers and building them out with your son. Glad I could help you out.

^^^This!

• Get the lowers for the guns that you know are pretty straightforward builds, and mags.
• Skip anything you'll still be able to acquire post-ban like the 1911, revolvers and lever guns.
• Consider adding a few extra stripped AR lowers to your list to scratch whatever new itch might pop up on the future.
• Prioritize each item on the purchase list (1 through X) so you can quickly make good decisions if money suddenly gets tight or you run out of time.

I understand revolvers, levers, bolts and pumps, but 1911's will be available without the permit to purchase also?

Thank you! We will for sure enjoy the build process

I've been going on the assumption that 1911s in 45 will be available due to the lower round count, but 2011s with higher capacity / double stack 9mm magazines likely won't be on the menu.

I see you don't have a defensive length shotgun yet. Lots of good low cost options out there in both pump and autos.

You know what they say about assuming. To each is own I feel like 1911s will be picked through or in high demand once people realize they can still buy them. In my opinion get what you want. You could basically get 4 entry level guns at $500 per gun. But you could also just get 2 quality guns for 1k each. Depends if you are a quantity over quality kind of guy. Also everybody saying get a lower I thought they are trying to ban unserialized parts in one of these bills so there is a limitation on the amount of time you have left to build thing out. Definitely more time than what's coming within the next few weeks but it's a matter of time on that to.

1. Prioritize a Glock and buy at least 8 mags for it in addition to the 3 which should be included. Keep at least 3 factory mags loaded, keep 4 dedicated for just training, and the rest to replace those that may break. Bare minimum.

2. Buy at least one AR15 receiver with an m16 cut pocket. You can build it later. Buy magazines. Gen 2 Magpul pmags are the best value.

3. Anything else is just an added logistical chain. Different ammo, different mags, different parts. Glock and ar15 platforms are the most practically modern, easily sourced, maintained, and highest parts availability & commonality. You won't feel bad about training with them and that's most important. Everything else is a range toy IMO.

I put it this way because you're on a budget and time crunch. Capturing items that are likely to be restricted are going to be most important. I know too many people in WA that never bought at stripped AR receivers despite knowing about the ban, and now they can't have them legally. Rough. Don't be like those guys.

I just hooked the OP up with a couple Aero lowers. He got an instant approval so he was able to walk out with them. Good times. One less thing to check of his list….

You may like SIG but I won't hold it against you. You're a stellar member who hooked me up as well a few years back. Glad to have members like you.

A better defensive shotgun is definitely on my list. A Maverick 88 Security is one low cost option I've considered. I really haven't looked much at shotguns.

How likely are we to see a halt of all firearm purchases in Oregon until the permit system is online? I heard that was a possibility from a range instructor at Clackamas Co PSTC a couple weeks back. A full stop might change my decision process a little bit.

My presumption would be low likelihood, or if attempted it would be fairly easy to get an injunction against it, as halting all sales of firearms would be extremely difficult for the courts not to rule as an infringement of 2a rights. Even some of the more liberal justices wouldn't go along with that, as it opens a can of worms that'll land on the desk of a higher court. In fact, pretty sure a petition to SCOTUS to intercede would have a higher likelihood of being accepted if literally millions of people are completely prevented from being able to exercise the right due solely to bureaucratic process. Maybe I'm thinking wishfully, but that's my gut feeling.

Edit to add, it would also depend on the duration of the halt. A month or two would be bad, but the state would argue it's a short term thing and they might get away with it before it finds its way through the courts. Longer than that probably not.
