I don't know if their prices are competitive. They were one of the few that had .357 mag when I was looking.

 

[Stetson]

"They" are not the asshats. Maine is.

Just like California.

No, Maine isn't. We have no restrictions against shipped ammo that I've ever heard of.

Thanks, mang! I ordered 500 shotshells that move at 1330fps.

After a cursory check, it seems you are correct Apparently, they ARE assholes @ SGAmmo.

 

[Hapo]

...I can't imagine why...I bought a lot of ammo from them a few years back...

The new Walther will be in Thursday. Looking forward to playing with it.

Ok, so I "miked" a few 10 yard targets (two of them, and one plate on the Texas Star) at a match last weekend, so I figured it gots to be the gun.

I took it to the indoor shooting range (Shooters World in Tampa) and shot it at 25 yards freestyle, then 10 yards strong hand, and 10 yards weak hand.

The sights must have been off at the match, but got bounced back in place in my shooting bag?

What else could it have been?

All I'm hearing is, yep the sights

All this "target" shooting is well and good, but how good are you at hitting a moving target? How about a moving target while you're on the move? And then the trifecta... a moving target, while you're on the move, with the target shooting back at you.

It’s here. Seems real fucking nice.

Break it down and hit the triggery bits with Tetra!

Will do.

Just back from the range. Shoots fine. It has the medium back strap on. I may try the large. The shop where I had it sent for the purpose of filling out the 4473 could have also sold me a Holosun, if they had any in stock.

[WarpSpeed]

Which Holo do you want? We just got in 3 or 4 today for inventory. Shoot me a PM.

Over a year ago I finally got a number from CMP for a WWII era 1911. Yesterday around lunch I get a call from a nice lady at CMP offering me 2 choices of grades. I chose the upper grade and TODAY before lunch I got in a 1943 Colt with Colt slide. SUPER happy I took all the time to fill out and mail all those forms to get in the que.

[Truth]

Is that your excuse when shooting pistols?

 

[kawachan]

It was 950 shipped. All they had was 850 and 950. I was hoping for a 1050. I watched a few auctions and decided I'd wait til they called and take a chance. Glad I did...

Browning --- called my buddy who had a Remmy (sold it already) but they have not been made for years. Browning for a new one.

 

[ysr_racer]

Anybody have any recommendations?

Yeah, I recommend he buys a 12 gauge.

 

[Hapo]

...somebody had to say it...

 

[Qwik]

Well, I wanted an informed opinion from individuals who can hit the broadside of a barn with something other than a shotgun

 

[Hapo]

...I would bet on him in any shooting contest between the two of you...

...I would not shoot against him for real money...there, I said it...somebody had to....LoL...

...seriously though...modern 3 1/2 "magnum 12 ga loads will match any 10 ga loads "available"...as in good luck finding any...

 

[BigGar]

Bought some 80% lowers today as it's going to get even more weird here starting July 1st.
I have absolutely no idea what to do with them from here, but I'll post about it when I need info.

 

[Hapo]

...buy a jig set and watch some videos...do you have a drill press...???...
