While a $1,500 profit at a local gun show sounds tempting, getting one at regular price during such demand times and hanging on to it until I can get another eventually when and if prices drop sounds better. Would hate to sell it and then can no longer get one.

Hold onto it!

Yeah, when it arrives (shipped yesterday), after I stare at it for a while and hug and caress it, right into the safe for good it will go.
Don't plan on shooting it.
Will just rent it at local range whenever in the mood to fire a .308.

I just picked up a Remington 597, came with some extras... I'm going to enjoy this little thing. And when my son gets old enough he'll be able to shoot it too... (he's 7 now)

If you want more mags at a decent price go to themakogroup.com
They have steel mags that are great! They're like $19 a piece and in stock.

Great price but they kill you with shipping.
$19 for two mags.

My biggest problem is time on any replacement equipment. Starting in mid March I'll be south of the border for a year. So if there is a ban, or isn't, no matter, if it's not replaced in 2 months, it probably never will be!

Have you used their mags?
Seems worthwhile for $19 with free shipping if over $100.

No worries.
Was just reading thread.
Ordering some shortly, if wife doesn't kill me first.

Here's the one i've been reading http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_17/59...der_Mags_.html

Hey Francis. AR replacement parts should still be available during a ban.

I think I'm in love.

Just found a perfect looking carry gun (to me).

12+1 .40 S&W, smaller than a kimber ultra carry, a bit lighter, with all of the lovely 1911 ergonomics I love. Note that it's NOT a 1911 however, they're calling it a "2011" design, I'm not sure what all the modification done to the original design are. Certainly something to permit double stacked mags...

There's just a minor little niggle with the price

That grip looks short and must be 2"wide to have a capacity like that.

Sexy little gun...but the price is !!!

Wow that is nice looking gun! I need to start looking at handguns again seriously now that Illinois will have a CCW on the books soon. Still looking at the G29.

[MurphysLaw]

Para-ordinance makes some ultra compact 1911s with double stacked mags as well. I didn't like the way they felt in my hand compared to a single stack .45

Ordered three 30 and one 40 to get over the $100 hump for free shipping.
I don't have any mags with more than 30 capacity so I guess good to have one for the day anarchy comes so I can get off 10 shots.
I didn't think the price of $48 for a 40 is that bad when Surefire gets $129 for a 60 round one.
I am not a fan of anything more than this as more likely than not to jam.

Now to figure out how to hide all these credit card purchases lately for guns, rifles, ammo and accessories from wife.

Short is perfect for me, I have TINY hands for a guy.
Wide.... not so much! although a G30 fits my hand just fine.... (but a G21 doesn't!)

Regardless of what happens in congress, in April I'll be under my own Weapons Ban, commonly known as "wedding cake", and it will include all firearms (BUT with an ironclad grandfather clause). She's not pro-gun (not yet - you wouldn't be either if your only exposure to them was looking down the wrong end of it a couple times a year while getting mugged), but she's at least willing to give it a try. So I'm stocking up on anything I think I MIGHT need in the next few years! Selling it later is an option, buying it won't be!

[spectrrr]

HILARIOUS. (I just found this guy's channel, he's got some really great SHORT videos regarding guns that get right to the point).

You know you're a gun nut when:

I am planning on the "it's for investment, honey" defense for all my recent debt/purchases.
Will let you know how it all works out.
