Second Firearm Thread...

[equetefue]

This past week I picked up a new G19 to go along with other the G45

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.

[Mikepd]

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.

That's a bummer.

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.

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.

[Brian D.]

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.

Have been wanting a Volquartsen Mamba-TF but haven’t gotten one so far... anyone shoot one?

[n3uka]

Delivered yesterday

[Steve]

Very nice!

[Bax]

I've been messing with my old SKS lately. New stock, aperture sight and milled the bolt down to make the Mags removable with the bolt closed.

[Remo]

So, I came across a deal I couldn’t pass up, was able to get two unfired SigSauers the other day. P938 9mm and a P238 .380. This belonged to an elderly gentleman who passed away, and I was able to get them from the family.

[icehog3]

Very nice, Mike. I've been looking for a .380 Sig Sauer myself.

This thread kind of died off. Not doing much buying myself, the last couple years. My latest acquisition is a Walther PDP 4" 9mm. Added some tritium sights--PDP platform works with sights made for the Glock 9mm/.40 caliber guns, so lots of options out there.

Thoroughly vetted the blaster and am carrying it lately.

Haven't posted in a while myself nor bought anything lately. Glock now had a Gen 5 Glock 21 MOS 45 auto, thinking seriously about buying one if I can find one in stock anywhere.
