I carry a 23 on duty. Same size, different caliber. I love being eligible for the blue label price. 560 dollar gun for 425.

Got money in my pocket and no palmetto state daily deals that strike my fancy. WTF!

They have been pissing me off lately.


The only great deal they have had in months is the Aimpoint Pro for $356 (which is a damn good deal).


SWFA had a weak (sigh) 8% off sale during tax day. Such a build-up, such fail.

Midwayusa.com has had the best deals lately. They had Daniel Defense Lite rails on sale for $135. That's around 60-70% off.

I got th blue label price as well. Good savings.

Anybody able to get their hands on the new 9mm Glock G43?

A buddy of mine just picked his up today. I've been looking for one online(for a non-ass raping price), but haven't had any luck.

What's a good deal on them?

I would think under $500 is pretty good considering the demand. My buddy got his for $358 with the LEO discount.

Yeah I didn't think this was a bad price, but out of stock for now.

https://www.gtdist.com/glock-43-fs-s...or-le-mil.html

Very disappointing. Made myself stop getting on there before The World Series. And this is how they do me?!

I dunno, I thought this was a pretty good deal for $400

http://palmettostatearmory.com/index...kit-sling.html

Palmetto has some good prices on their complete AR15 lowers. One of these days I'm gonna snatch up a handful of them, including a complete pistol lower.

Yeah I saw blem completes for I think 140. Very tempting.

For you reloaders out there....

If you were buying a turret reloader, what would you get?

And if you were buying a progressive, what would your choice be?

I am a newbie. I can get a Lee turret kit for $185 plus dies. OR a Dillon XL650 for $585 plus dies. Is it worth the extra $400 to crank out 2X amount of rounds per hour??

Thanks

Picked up a SCCY CPX-2 last week to carry in my T-Shirt holster. Best $260 bucks I've ever spent, tookj it to the range and it performs like a champ.

Granted, its no Sig, but it will get the job done on the cheap.

I have the Dillon and unless it's precision target loads, I don't think I could go back to a non progressive. I find it hard enough to find the time to sit down and reload as it is, so the increased production seems worth it to me.

Other guys vamp it out and will sit down and load all night long with singles and say they'd never spend the extra money, so I guess it's all in how you look at it.

Anyone want cheapish Nagant ammo?

http://palmettostatearmory.com/index...-spam-can.html

W296, H110, and IMR 4227 in stock this AM at Cabelas in Green Bay.

CCI 400 primers at $33/1000. CCI #41 at $38/1000. Other CCI primers on sale also.

As a newbie to reloading, I was on my first buying trip. I've been reading for months that these powders were very hard to find. Probably won't see that luck again. Lets hope that good luck transfers over into reloading and I don't blow up a barrel as I figure out how to make subsonic 300 Blackouts.

powdervalleyinc.com has varget and benchmark on sale every once in a while.


A store in Salida has a major hookup for powder. He has almost everything all of the time. They can not ship, though.

Im down in Columbia at the MU law enforcement training institute doing a law enforcement firearms instructor course all of this week. Some of the most technical and difficult shooting I've ever done. Class starts at 730am and ends at 10 at night. Long days with homework afterwards. Its been a blast even though im exhausted. By friday I'll be certified to train LEO's in pistol and shotgun.

Thought this was worth sharing

Primary Arms has a good sale going on right now. I ordered a couple of AR15 "Ghost Gun" lowers along with a couple of the Odin Works pistol tubes w/Sig Brace. I plan on building a couple of AR15 pistols as a summer project.

very cool!

For home defense, for the wife who is not fully comfortable with weapons, what type and gauge shotgun do you recommend for her? pump/auto? 12/20?

thanks

20 gauge. put bird slug bird shells in it. This isnt where you parked your car buddy!

and u guys can go skeet shooting together and or hunt if u hunt with it.

my gf is 130 5'7 and handles and shoots my old rem870 20g easily.

edit: 20 gauge semi

CDNN has Colt 6920's on sale for $799.

http://www.cdnnsports.com/6920-16-fl...l#.VUT5NIF4qMY

That's a great price.



I have never understood why Colt is so overpriced. Oh yeah, the name.

Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore has Glock G43's in stock for $549 if anyone is looking for one. Shipping is free.

http://www.sportsmansoutdoorsupersto...e-stack-pistol

Its a little more than I want to spend. If it was $499, I'd be all over it. Heck, I still might buy it anyway.

$50, and shipping is free - and you can get a gun made of pure unobtainium? Make your move, pilgrim.

Says $899.

It was $799 until their sale ended at noon on 5/4. They tend to have the 6920 on sale several times a year, but its usually the Magpul Edition.

I recommend signing up for their email list. They usually have something good on sale.

Anybody own a Springfield M1903? I've been losing interest in more modern guns and my interest has leaned toward WWI/II firearms. My next two purchases will be the Garand and 1903.

I'd like to buy them, shoot them once, and show them off.

I've got a 1903A3. I bought it to partially satisfy my urge for a M1 Garand, which I plan on getting some time this year.

Dad had a 1903, he replaced the original stock and we shot several deer w/it over the years. Nice gun. 'Unsporterized' models are harder to find these days.

Gunbroker has a few between $8-1500.

This is a good site for old military rifles. They're a tad pricy on most things, but you won't find a better selection. If you're patient, you can some find excellent deals.

Summit Gun Broker has some good deals going on right now. Check out their home page.

http://summitgunbroker.com

Brand new Sig Sauer 229 .40 cal, w/3 mags and night sights for $545 (Buy 10 for $520 each)
Remington 870 Wingmasters for $179 (Buy 10 for $165 each)
Remington 870 Police Magnums for $320 (buy 10 for $295 each)

I just called them, and they expect about 1,000 of the Rem 870's. They should get 700 Wingmasters and 300 Police Mags, all police trade -ins. The Police Mags will most likely have synthetic stocks and rifle sights. They expect the 870's to arrive some time later this month.

I went ahead and put my name down for one of the new Sig 229's and a Police Mag.

Perhaps this article is more appropriate for DC but I thought people in this thread would be most interested.

Federal appeals court hands victory to open carry, Fourth Amendment

kid you not.. shot my first gun... baby gun.. .22 rifle.. boy was it a stress reliever.. now i understand the fight for their guns. Man feels great, esp. when taught the proper techniques on how to handle and be smart and sensible with it.

:clap:

You're officially screwed, the evil has you in it's grasp.

I've always thought everyone should be introduced to guns and shooting, even if they say they never plan to own one. At the very least the experience gives them some form of an informed opinion, and if the day ever comes where they need to use one that's laying in front of them they will at least be able to pick it up and appear to know how to use it.

Got to get me one of those Kel Tec KSG's. You know, for home defense and looking cool.

A wealthy man? I just went over to the cmpauction site. They have collector grade garand , Winchester, receiver and barrel at auction right now, you don't even want to know the high bid on it.:evil:

Haven't checked in on this thread in a while. I have a Sig 1911 Ultra now:

http://cdn2.armslist.com/sites/armsl...o_tone_640.jpg

And an HK P30:

http://cdn2.armslist.com/sites/armsl...30_9mm_640.jpg

That's a beautiful Sig! Reminds me of my Springfield EMP 1911. I might have to add one to my collection.

Thank you, .45 is an expensive food but it's mostly a safe queen. However on the occasion that you decided to carry it, you'd be well armed.

Tried to score my wife a Taurus Judge SS 3". Stopped bidding at $390. Auction ended at $395. $15 for shipping.

Guns on budsgunshop for $430. I'll spend the $15 extra and get it from Buds.

Got one of these on the way.

God, I wish Lawrence had a dedicated gun store. I usually try to pick up 100-200 rounds of 9mm a month. But holy shit is it impossible to get help at the ammo counter at Dick's or Walmart.

I went to Dick's to buy 100 rds of 124gr FMJ 9mm and ended up walking out with a dozen Bridge Stone golf balls.

I want a FN 5-7. Anyone played with one before? Thoughts?

Has anyone heard of Patrick Kilcherman and the Concealed Carry University? I'm not trying to put in a plug for them or anything, but I'm pretty impressed. I bought their training course called The Armed American's Complete Concealed Carry Guide to Effective Self Defense. Yes, the title is long, and the course was long as well. 7 DVD's and about 20 hours total. I found it actually very educational and had a LOT of good tips regarding everything from mindset to gear to training etc. It was very comprehensive.

I was curious if anyone else had heard of this guy, the organization or the program, and what you thought of it.

I've got a lot of information now regarding concealed carry that I didn't have before, and I feel a ton more confident going forward. Honestly, if you haven't you should check this program out.

Palmetto State Armory has a good deal on Federal 7.62x51 for $9.99 per box (20 rounds).

Usually when its on sale it costs $11.99 per box.

http://palmettostatearmory.com/index...ds-xm80cl.html

The Jaycee's taught such a class when Bob Dole was a kid. Used Daisy lever action BB guns. Class was always full.

I have one(but that's an airsoft picture btw! :p ).

The fiveSeven is a hell of alot of fun to shoot.....little recoil....but it has some 'blast' to it, can make people flinch more even though it doesn't recoil. Really fun to shoot and shoots flat can be very accurate at range.

Negative...ammo is kinda pricey but getting somewhat better. Reloading while technically possible is much more difficult than normal. Grip longer than many...if you have a small hand it could be an issue.

But you also get 20 rounds standard and 30 rounds per mag extended.

Overall really fun to shoot....and has the added bonus of pissing off many of the anti types.

BTW they have the MK2(sold since 2013 I think) that has a different one piece slide and all black controls(gets rid of the nasty grey controls).

Shot them a couple times. Very fun but impractical for self defense in my opinion. I don’t think they make any hollow point ammo and high velocity and deep penetration. The only reason I would know of buying one for self defense is there’s a round good for piercing bullet proof vests because of it’s speed and pointy, small impact area. Pretty sure it’s restricted to law dogs too. </br></br>Unless you don’t mind spending the money a LR22 would give you about the same experience for a lot less money. I’d take a 9mm for CCW any day.</br></br> They do have a hollow point actually. The armor piercing is at the bottom: http://www.ammo-one.com/5-7x28mm.html</br></br>

As a purely technical point, hollow point is unnecessary in the 5.7 round. Why? It's been specifically engineered to tumble once it enters tissue. They do this by shifting the center of mass of the bullet rearward so that when the tip slows down radically by entering tissue the back end comes around initiating significant yaw.

For bullets not designed to tumble hollow points are useful....for bullets designed to tumble they don't provide much added benefit. The 5.7 bullet is long....when it tumbles it generates a significant wound cavity.

Note sporting 5.7 ammo out of the fiveSeven won't reach high enough velocity to penetrate a IIIa vest. Out of the PS90 it will but not the fiveSeven. To penetrate soft armor with the fiveSeven you would need to use the LE ammo or in some cases very hot aftermarket ammo.

Sounds like CrazyPhuD knows a lot more than me. I had no idea the rounds were designed to tumble. That makes a big difference in CCW consideration.

Well to be fair I own one, so I better know what it can and can't do!(well theoretically):D

The design is pretty cool....low recoil...high capacity and designed to tumble....just need more guns chambered for it!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_5.7%C3%9728mm

So...nobody has heard of this guy or that organization?

I sure haven't. My buddy runs the CCW class out in Wahoo, if your interested in taking a class PM me.

Had to dirty a few barrels this afternoon.

This little thing raises in the hand more than I figured it would.

what the hell are you shooting at?

Oh boy! You are a man after my own heart! Love the Sigs - never owned a HK (but would love to)

Would any of you guys be interested in buying my Xdm 40

Not the sky if that's what you're thinking. LMAO

Can you make out the blurred pinkish target in the mud on the edge of the field? It's about 30 yards away and I'm on an elevated pond damn looking down. It was the farthest of the balloons I had out and I never did break it.

Dirt!

Went to buy a firearm today. For the first time in the 20+ firearm purchases I was delayed. On a scale of 1-10 on being pissed, I'm at a 10. For shits sake, my job requires a gun on me at all times.

That sucks. Id be royally pissed, too. I've been lucky enough to have never been delayed.

Never was it more apparent that I live in New Jersey and you guys do not. :(

Heh. I figured it was something like that. Kickass pic, btw. I like the empty casing flying.

I burnt a bunch of rounds trying to get a pic of a casing and then was pissed because it does look like I'm launching one over the trees.

The picture actually made me go watch slow motion pistol shooting vids on youtube. These things move in the hand at the shot way more than I thought they did. Check out this guy's firmly supported 2 handed shot and compare the barrel angles from aiming to around the 25 second mark.

Not sure if this is Q...

Executive Order Banning Online Gun Talk – What To Do About It

Yeah, that will last........

I'm thinking of getting a mount and scout scope for my Mosin Nagant. I think I have the mount picked out, but do any of you have experience with long eye relief scopes? Any recommendations?

http://www.rrcfirearms.com/pd-posp-8...ange-scope.cfm


I like the way Russian gear looks, But in all honesty, a Zeiss 3-9 would probablywork well with a Nagant.

Took the Kel Tec KSG out today. That thing is fun as hell to shoot. Birdshot had very little recoil while buckshot and slugs kicked like a mule. I'm going to have to find some low recoil buckshot and a recoil pad before my wife will shoot it.

Can you guys tell me anything about Hammers scopes?
Got a guy on a buy, sell, trade web page looking to sell his 6-24X50 with side focus adjust and in scope level bubble. Looked up the reviews on it and they're a bit mixed, many seem to love it but others had issues with theirs, though the manufacturer did make it right by replacing/refunding purchase price.

I have never even heard of them, but after a quick internet search they just scream "BSA" and "Tasco" to me.


I am somewhat of a scope whore. What is your price limit and what are you looking for?

Wasn't really "looking" just keeping my eye open for something better for my .30-06 than the Tasco that's on it and didn't want to let a deal go by without checking into it.
Not sure how interested I am after my own search. Reviews are mixed, some seem to really like it but there are a few that had problems. The guy wants $100 and I found them brand new for $170-220, so not a bad deal but not a great one either.

One of my favorite scopes was made by Tasco back in the day. (SWFA SS).

Anyway, if the glass looks decent it might be worth it. I wouldn't expect much out of the illumination, though.
