BTW, if you look hard enough finding a new glock could be in the 400 range. not all the best deals are at the gun shows. i could put you in touch with someone who might run you a special if need be.

Damn, that would be cool if I could get a Glock 19 for 400ish.

That is going to be hard. I am looking at the gun site I frequent and they are going for much higher that. I am sure you know that right now guns are going for a lot of money right now. Dealers can pretty much name their price.

yes they can to the people who believe we will have the right stripped soon.

as i said i know these people and i'm sure they would give you a deal but i don't know if it would be worth driving to tampa to do it.

I know there are some out there for around $400, but I am just not sure where.

I would definitely drive to Tampa. Headed to Ft Lauderdale tommorow though for a week. For a Glock G19 in good condition, it'd be worth the 1 hour drive. Heck, I'd love to take you out for lunch too Jeremy.

There seems to be a lot of people buying guns and getting permits, acting like Obama is gonna take away everyone's guns.

There's a chance he'll ban assault rifles, which I don't agrue with, but they'll have to pry my cold dead fingers off my guns.

you can find good deals there but remember you have to ship to a FFL and pay theirs fees. it helps to have a good friend with one though.

Ok cool.

I've tried a bunch and it's pretty much the Glock 19 or save up for the Sig...

In other words, if I don't get the 19, I don't get a Glock.

Yup, I keep telling myself that before I slide down that slope...

If anyone is interested ableammo.com has 1000 rounds of PMC Bronze .223 for 449.50.

GhostRyder 01-18-2009 06:35 PM

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 
Check out www.wisconsincartridge.com for .223. They are reloads, but a case of FMJs for $300 is hard to beat in this day and age. Sadly. Never had a problem with their reloads, and I am pretty picky about what I put through the Bushmaster.

I'll check out that case of PMC though. $449 isn't too bad. Although I'd proly go 5.56 for those prices.

Brother called me today, told me he bought me something. He sent me this picture. Standard Glock 23. Now if only I can snag an AK before they go up again, ill be happy.

Mmm... I love some Compact Glock ****. It is sad, my G19 cost nearly $500 in late November. Last summer you could get one for a bit under $400 around here. Price gouging at its finest.

Very nice! You can tell that the gun is new, and not used b/c you can see the copper compound on the slide that comes from the factory.

I've got a rifled musket that probably doesn't work any longer. Very similar to a Springfield 1863, but I think it's actually a European gun, maybe Prussian.

I've been trying to get a better ID on it, do you have any contacts who may be able to help out? The biggest problem is there are no brands or other identification marks that I can see.

Yeah, I was iffy if it was brand new, knowing my brother, haha. Hopefully be able to get my carry permit in Nov when I turn 21. Really wanna take it to the range, but I have to wait till he brings it home with him from UF.

509 is the cheapest that both of my locals can get a 19 for. i feel it's a ripoff but it's what the market is carrying right now. honestly i wouldn't pay that much for a glock. i'd be looking at a sig or a HK. or buy a used one. the price would be different they said if they had one in stock.

Check out this post:

I found a link somewhere with a picture of one for sale that looked identical, but it didn't have very much info. Can't find that link any more either.
