    Ammo Prices going up april 1st - are you buying more now?

    So, apparently ammo prices are going up April 1st due to copper shortages, which means shooting will be more expensive than ever. I've been considering getting a press forever, but I just can't justify the time effort and cost right now to go ahead and do it. So what are you guys doing...

    Professional soldier forbidden full auto.

    We can only own pre-1986 class-III weapons. This is unacceptable. The military should be subject to the exact same laws civilians are. When the state creates itself as the supreme controller of force, bad things happen. Tanks, jets, missiles - if you can own it, then so can I. The history of...

    So, I work at a gunstore and...

    @RonDeer10mm: Sounds about right to me. Would you really want to scare off someone that could be a life-time customer? Experienced gun owners probably won't stop buying guns because you sternly told them to control their muzzle.

    Poor opinion article at cnn.com

    @BENBRU: All opinions are NOT valid, and we should not honor them. Your "opinion" that I may not be entitled to life or property is invalid; if you attempt to act on your opinion, I'll defend myself with deadly force. In other situations, the stakes can be just as high, but the response is...

    Top 5 places to buy ammo online?

    So many sources. I'll knock off the easy ones first for my project. I get updated prices and live shipping (only to my address for now) every 7 minutes. I think shipping varies as much as the actual prices, which is a pain.

    Purchase delayed.

    I bought a 9mm full-sized handgun in January and a rifle in february. 0 delays both times. 1 speeding ticket, no arrests, 21. My first and last name combination is very rare in the US.

    Top 5 places to buy ammo online?

    Thanks guys. @SpentCasting: That isn't scanned or necessarily up to date - it's user submitted. The prices on AimSurplus change throughout the day. I'm actually working on ammoscanner.com in my free time, so I'll add a couple of the ammo sites here.

    Best bulk 9mm ammo?

    I like Prvi Partisan and Nobel when it's on aimsurplus.com. American Eagle is usually the next best bet online. Avoid Brown Bear and "bulk Russian ammo". It's dirty as hell and not so consistent. I actually had a better experience with silver bear, but at that price point you should probably...

    Learning to shoot a rifle?

    I'm a fairly effective handgun shooter, mostly because it's easy to find material online on how to improve. I got a laser bullet, and through dry fire practice with the bullet and range time, I've gotten pretty good. I wouldn't have known to practice keeping the sights aligned during a smooth...

    Want first gun, wife problems

    Well, I'd say divorce her (or at least threaten to), but then you would probably be stripped from your ability to protect your children. Buy the gun. Don't hide it. Take your kids shooting and get teach them responsibility. By having pressure from everyone else in her family, she'll cave.

    77 Year-Old Mexican Rancher Stands Up To Cartel , Kills 4, Wounds 2

    Guys, he was 77. Rather than leave and wait to die, he protected his property, his life, and his beliefs, in one noble end. We only see what was - 4 dead and 2 injured. How many lives did this man save by killing evil men. How many robbers and murderers will think twice after hearing this...

    Ammo Taxes

    @merlin: Depending on how many rounds you're ordering and what caliber, aimsurplus is sometimes more expensive, as it uses real UPS variable shipping rates, versus flat rate shipping like some other sites use. See ammoscanner.com to check different prices with shipping. But yeah...

    Top 5 places to buy ammo online?

    Hey all, I just wanted to know where you guys thought the best places to buy ammo online were. I use aimsurplus.com and palmettostatearmory.com, but I only ever buy 9mm and 45. Are there a number of online retailers you check before making a purchase? Also, what calibers are you buying? I've...

    Need for high capacity magazines!

    In my home, I have no need to "conceal" my weapon, so I keep every gun I own fitted with the biggest magazines I own. Unfortunately, the M&P series doesn't have any 30-rd mags I can buy, or I would own a couple. I *do* keep the 17 rd mag in the compact, and the balance doesn't feel off at all...

    I have a few Questions about the Beretta 92fs double action trigger.

    Having shot both, I'd say the spring makes a huge difference. I went from being barely able to pull the trigger to a semi-accurate first shot.

    Top shot show on History

    Any show which makes shooting look like fun (because it is :p) is amazing. I liked the strategy portion of the show; you want to keep a strong team, but if you wait too long you might get stuck in elimination against a focus specialist (JJ in the first season in speed pistol shooting, for...

    First rifle? (With AR as the end-game)

    I want to get an AR at some point, but I've never shot a rifle before seriously, and I've never learned how to properly sight/shoot accurately, etc. I'm fairly proficient with handguns, although I'm left-eye dominant and right-handed, and I don't like closing any eyes when I shoot. Is...

    How to close one eye

    You're probably looking through your non dominant eye. Sight your target, front sight, get a good sight picture, and shoot. If you're using the correct eye you'll be on paper at 25 yards.

    Cabela's: Some things HSTerrific, some less so

    Maybe it's a cultural difference, but from my experience in the midwest US, it was *your* behavior that was odd. "Are you busy" could be a message that you would like to start casual conversation and not that you have anything relevant to discuss. Try just asking your question next time, or...
