Heavy hitter back in action

After a botched trigger job from the previous owner she's back to factory specs

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

Very nice Greg!

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.

I have some 60-year-old .410 rounds around here somewhere. Anybody wanna trade?

Gotta love it...a few days AFTER I order some ammo from MidwayUSA and on the day my order is delivered, I get an email that free shipping is back. Argh!

Yup never fails. I miss the brownells whatever % off and free shipping codes.

bonjing · 08-07-2020, 09:43 PM

Sold everything I "wanted" to sell, didn't realize I sold my only G17, now I want one again

Wife had a

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.

Pretty badass, Edwin.

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!

nice score

Gabe215 · 08-20-2020, 09:38 PM

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.

equetefue · 08-27-2020, 03:54 PM

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.

Gabe215 · 08-27-2020, 05:59 PM

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.
