disabled and need help

[readysetgo]

I would like to see the mounting equipment that Kevin is getting for his wheelchair. (I assume it mounts to the wheelchair.)

Could someone post a list with links so we can see what this engineering marvel looks like?

At the begining of the thread... http://www.beadaptive.com/. Don't think what model or set up was ordered but that's the company.

I think we should keep searching for the Glock 19 cause it's a fantastic gun and it sounds like something Kevin would be really happy with. Even though everything is OOS these days, Glocks are still very popular and common and I'm sure one will pop up soon. Can someone just remind me, was there a strict deadline we need to find a gun by?

[Cactus_Tim]

Ok, that's what I thought.
Looks like he needs the HQ100 mount.
It costs $1,650 and comes standard with the TM100 power trigger.

The two links on the first page are accessories and not the mounting hardware.
The HQPM is a pistol mount only and fits to the HQ100 mount.

Have we properly budgeted for the equipment Kevin needs?
Doesn't look like we've raised enough to pay for the mount yet, not to mention any accessories he might need.
We should make sure the proper mounting hardware has been ordered before getting too focused on guns and ammo.

Looks like US made Glocks are off the roster.

I'm going to have to call disarmed marksman and see if he's up to coming to whatever shoot gets set up. I'm sure he has more insight and experience shooting from a wheelchair than most of us do.

I just donated, looks like it's around $1350 right now.

Good luck Kev, hope to see you if there is a meet and greet shooting event. I'm not far from Ventura.

Cactus _ The eqipment I need is the LM100 (the basic mount for rifle and shotgun) the LMPM pistol mount and we got the HD100 for my hand to pull the trigger. I dont need the electric actuator to pull the trigger. I have pretty good left arm use except for my hand. I don"t forsee needing that other hardware but was assured that we could mount it later if I decided I needed it.

We had a generous Calgunner purchased what I needed (Baboosh) equipment was shipped and should be here by the end of the week.

So yes the hunt is on for a new pistol for my equipment. I am so excited! The G19 is my first choice. I found some new in box on gunbroker.com but I'm not sure how to procede after we bid. need FFL? ship to gunshop? I just don't know.

That's great news, Kevin!
I was just concerned we might be overlooking something.
Glad to hear everything is on track.
Looking forward to some pics soon.

^^ These are my feelings as well and I've communicated that to kevrok. If he wants a G19, that's what we should be after. No reason to settle for less after coming this far.

Cactus, read the whole thread or at least the first page. eta: I see kevrok responded to this.

Yeah, I was reading this too. There's no SKU on the roster so I'm not sure how to determine what is and what isn't.

I'm going to have to call disarmed marksman and see if he's up to coming to whatever shoot gets set up. I'm sure he has more insight and experience shooting from a wheelchair than most of us do.

I'm sure this would be helpful.

kevrok, so you are getting the pieces needed to shoot handgun, right?

So yes the hunt is on for a new pistol for my equipment. I am so excited! The G19 is my first choice. I found some new in box on gunbroker.com but I'm not sure how to procede after we bid. need FFL? ship to gunshop? I just don't know.

Off the top of the head:
First step if we're purchasing out of state is to make sure it's approved for sale and on the ROSTER.
Second would be making sure the seller is OK w/ sending to CA.
Third, get approval from our local FFL who will handle the transfer w/ you.
Then we'd order.
After rcving at the local FFL, you'd need HSC and DROS and wait 10 days. Need two forms of ID and at pickup perform Safe Handling Demonstration (ooh there's something to think about, how is this requirement met for disabled?).
I may be missing a couple pieces but that's the gist of it.

[Kevrok805]

I need some feed back. I am realizing that the G19 may be difficult to find. I am considering the G22 or G23 which are .40 cal. What do you all think? A Glock is a Glock and seems like the recoil won't be that bad. But, I don't know. The plus is that IVE has it in stock right now! Could be bought in next 2 days. What do you all think?

Safe Handling Demonstration (ooh there's something to think about, how is this requirement met for disabled?).

I had this question as well. It looks like there is an exemption for physically disabled individuals:

"The HSC program also provides for an exemption when physical disability deprives an individual the necessary agility to execute the demonstration. A signed, written letter from a licensed physician attesting that a physical disability precludes an individual from being able to perform the safe handling demonstration is required for this exemption. This exemption applies to the safe handling demonstration only. There is no exemption from the Handgun Safety Certificate requirement based on physical disability"

So Kevin, you will also need a written letter from a physician.

.40 is sweet in my opinion. Even in this ammo panic you can find .40 eazy peazy

I am also concerned about the funky trigger on the Glock and can we make it more sensitive after bought?

I have both the Glock 23 and 27, and like them both. As for the trigger, well, it's a Glock trigger. Not terrible, but some have a difficult time transitioning to it. Plenty of options for tuning Glock triggers.

Rob at Blueline has offered to take care of the trigger for you. He has also offered to donate cleaning supplies and ammo. If you get one from out of State you can do the transfer thru him. Not sure what he will do for you as far as the transfer, but I'm sure he'll take care of you.
