Finally decided to get a home defense handgun and went with a Sig P238 and CZ 75D Compact for greater mag capacity

I went to pick up some primers and a pound of powder yesterday and people were walking out with boxes of stuff.

Im just hoping the form fours aren't held up from a shutdown....

I lucked out! I found a Sig MPX carbine on consignment at a local shop with an Eotech xps2 with 5 30rd mags and 2 10 rounders for $1754. And it was never fired :dr

MPX project coming together, Carbon fiber hand guard and a new 4.5 barrel working on a Timney Trigger upgrade at the moment and I'm thinking this one might be my first form one SBR.

Leasing with an option to buy ;) this might be the most accurate pdw in 9mm that I've ever fired, I was ringing 12in plates at 100 yards all afternoon

Had a great Father's Day at the range with Boo yesterday.

Started off bustin' some clays
http://oldchurchbbq.com/sharedpictur...621_115249.jpg

Then when it go hot, moved to the back and slung some lead 200 yards with the hunting rifles.
http://oldchurchbbq.com/sharedpictur...621_131818.jpg

While back on the rifle line, met a long range shooter that was working up new loads for his next match. He let Boo shoot a couple of his precision long range rifles in 6mmBR
http://oldchurchbbq.com/sharedpictur...621_132551.jpg

3 shots at 200 yards
http://oldchurchbbq.com/sharedpictur...621_143529.jpg

Then we came back and fired up the new smoker and feasted and lounged around in the pool...perfect!

Hello. Bought a Walther PPQ in .22 yesterday, the 4" version. Should be a good practice companion to my pair in 9mm.

Been on a kick for .22 LR handguns lately. Possibly because that's the ammo I'm least likely to need more of any time soon. Anyway, picked up a Glock model 44 this morning, from a store/range in the area. Like most such places, they gave me a free hour of range time with firearm purchase. That gave me a chance to try it out, because I thought ahead and brought 50 rounds along just in case. Not sure they'd have been able to sell me any, as they were totally out of most all common calibers.

I made a trade on another cigar site, got two boxes of .45 ACP for some cigars. None to be found near me lately.

Sold everything I "wanted" to sell, didn't realize I sold my only G17, now I want one again :sl Wife had a :emo2004 moment when I cleaned out the safe can't blame her I've been bringing random stuff home ever since working at a gun shop. At least the money is going to home improvements. What almost gave me a heart attack was the "what else can you sell, transformers, cigars?" Sadly I'll probably be selling my toys next.

I can probably get some good coin for my 220ST and 226ST but I just can't seem to part with those.

Hi. Over the weekend I sold off an AR-15 that was bought as investment, back when prices bottomed out. Made some profit for sure, reinvested in an AR-10 in .308. Original owner never fired it, had buyer's remorse I guess, or maybe wanted to free up some money.

I had a chance to fire it at 50 yards, windage was fine but needed a little elevation adjustment. It's a hoot!

I’m really tempted to go behind my wife’s back this week and buy a Ruger 57. Anyone own one (or an FN 57 ?) let me know your thoughts? Thoughts of the round ect. I found one from a vendor that did gouge the price to $875 due to limited supply and extreme demand but with the election and seeing on the aftermarket they can be up to $950 Any insight is appreciated!

for sure an interesting round with little recoil. I can never get past the cost of ammo though.

My brother has been drooling for one for some time now, but the pricey ass ammo really makes him steer away from it. Then again all ammo is pricey as hell right now.

I am paying $1 per round on .300 AAC BLK.

Last week at the range it was

Around $35 for 80 rds of .223
Around $80 for 80 rds of .300 blk
Around $8 for 200 rds of .22LR

It adds up quick.

I just went ahead and did last Sunday. I was wrong about Price of gun it was $799 out the door (transfer fee tax included ect) but you’re not lying about the rounds. Whole gun show was sold out, granted it was the last day. Found a local shop that has them in stock $50 for a 50rd box of FMJ $60 for 50rd box of FN blue tips.

Things have gotten so overpriced and/or hard to find that in the last few weeks I've become a seller instead of buyer when going to stores, and especially shows.

Recently I was lucky to be able to pick up a Ruger 57 and a Sig P320 M17 in 9mm at early 2020 pricing!I was even able to find some 5.7 ammo, though not too much.

Ordered a Glock 45 Gen 5 yesterday. We will see if I actually get it because they have changed the Blue Label deal and disallowed EMTs and Paramedics.

I didn't get it because I no longer qualify. I wound up getting a Glock 17 Gen 5 from another place for not too bad a price.

G G 04-08-2021 06:29 AM

Re: Second Firearm Thread...
 
I picked up a Glock 43X not long after the G17 Gen 5. Great little gun. It has a 10 round magazine but I have ordered these nifty magazines made by Checkmate that is the same flush fit as the 10 but hold 15 rounds. We will see how it goes. Plus both of the Glocks have Ameriglo night sights. First nightsights I have eve had, but will never buy another handgun without them.

Even though retired I still have a fire department photo ID. Would I still qualify for the blue label program?

Yessir you would as long as they don't check into it. I don't think they would, but technically you are supposed to be active to get it. They took Paramedics and EMTs off the list not too long ago, but after the outcry they put them back on. For anyone that doesn't have the credentials you can join the GSSF and get a pistol purchase coupon for every year you are a member, but the price list is a little bit more than blue label. Since I didn't qualify when I bought mine I did the GSSF and got the coupon. I think it saved me about 50 or 60 bucks instead of $100.

Thanks for the information. I was at a Blue Label dealer this week and saw those good prices. Don't happen to be in the market right now but maybe soon.
