Unfortunately I'm no longer a part of the club. :( Sold my 642 a couple of weeks ago to help take some of the brunt after a big purchase of other gun related things I'd get more use out of. Didn't carry it, didn't shoot it, didn't need it, so it had to go. It was an extremely well made...

I currently have about 1500 rounds of 5.56. I bought it last year for about $0.30/rd (1000rd case of xm193 and a 420rd can of xm855). I went to Cabelas on Saturday and made myself sick to pay $0.50/rd for 10 boxes of American Eagle .223 but I had to after a 45min hike up there. They had just...

Here in CT, today, you'd probably be able to unload a $1000 AR for about $2500-$3000 in a matter of seconds...

Glad I bought a premium AR long before the craziness. Now I just wish I bought a lot more ammo... :banghead:

I have a case of XM193 that I bought last year at my LGS for $289...($0.30/rd) as well as a 420rd can of XM855 green tip for $149 ($0.37/rd)... They always had a pallet of each 6' high in stock before the SHTF and I wish I had bought more sooner, as I'm afraid to even crack these ones open... :(...

It absolutely has. I used to shoot 300-500 rounds of handgun ammo (mostly 9mm and .40) and 200-300 rounds of 5.56, every time I went to the range, which was anywhere from 2-4x a month. I went to the range the past 2 Saturday's to sight in my new AR optics, and only brought 100 rounds of...

Well I did some more panic buying last night. Went to my local Walmart for some cat food and misc crap and decoded to stop by the ammo case for a peek. They've been sold out of .22lr, 9mm and .45 since the SHTF and haven't gotten any shipments in either. To my surprise, I noticed the...

The problem is multiple attackers and other variables. Having 10 rounds more than you need is better than coming up 1 short... :uhoh: Also, I read a study somewhere that calculated the average number of rounds used for total incapacitation. 9mm was something like 5-6 shots avg, .40 was 4-5...

Well, the 9 and 45 are softer shooters, in low pressure, that is. I think the issue many have with .40 feeling too snappy is what they are comparing it to. The .40 is by design a high pressure cartridge. One simply can not compare 115gr standard pressure 9mm to a .40... I don't...

I agree. I sold my first .40 shortly after buying it. The gun was too small for the cartridge in my opinion, or the shape of the grip/backstrap didn't agree with me. Either way, shame on me for not shooting it before buying. Live and learn. Fast forward 3 or 4 years, and all my auto...

My local Walmart for the last week... Makes me glad I decided to add a .40 to the family.

Sunday I went to Cabela's and decided to get myself some gifts for Christmas, afterall I had been a very good boy this year. Stopped all the drinking and womanizing, got back together with my ex, played good little house hubby... So after a 4-hour-long purchase process, merry Xmas to me...

After a week long non-stop search, I finally found my Walther PPQ yesterday!

Picked up one of these yesterday to hopefully replace my LC9...

Back to the Brush Axe. I think its severely underrated and overlooked as a survival tool. The blade effortlessly hacks through thick branches, and I dont think bone would be an issue. Even the blunt side could easily crack skull. The brush axe can also be effectively thrown with practice...
