    Dang... I bought my last car from them, too.

    Major Sporting Goods Stores and ARs

    I figured I must have overlooked the Dick's thread... http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2012/12/27/dicks-sporting-goods-customers-complain-about-guns-paid-for-but-not-delivered/ I'm taking my business elsewhere.

    Hey Central Florida!!! THR Member Needs You!!!

    Where in Central Florida? I just moved to Tampa and am looking for a good range myself. Ocala National Forest range is public and free... bit far, though, depending on where you are? I'd be interested in volunteering in some way...

    How many 22 LR cartridges are sold here in America every year?

    492.5 million rounds... plus the couple 525 packs I just picked up yesterday:p well... fuzzy math.. 197 million in revenue, rimfire is ~13%, call 22lr 10%, 20$ for a brick... 492,500,000 rounds. I think the answer is that there is no answer, everything I find points to "no one keeps track of...

    How Many Guns can I Fly With?

    hard-sided suitcases stink... they are brittle and quick to break a corner or wheel or to come unlatched. A decent zipper bag is your best bet, or a c-bag even. The Pelican cases are a good investment--they get treated with a little more respect. I was a baggage handler for years..yes, your bag...

    Anybody now looking at a hi cap weapon?

    I, for one, would love an "AWB ban" :p I find myself wishing I had more magazines, but I refuse to give in to any desire to stockpile.

    Glock Gen 4 9mms: Problems Solved!

    I really prefer the more aggressive checkering, the gen3 checkering feels slippery to me now. The big backstrap is perfect for me, too--I would not want to go back to the one-size fits all. Agree with you on all points, though--to each his own. My gen4 26 has been error-free (factory brass date...

    I Never Thought This Would Happen!

    Glock 17 and 26 share 17 magazines. Of your choices I would get the S&Ws. Or, more likely, shop for a full size semiauto and keep your revolver as the BUG. In your position, shouldn't you be shopping long guns? :D

    Quality .22 Revolver & Current Prices

    You can load two at a time, but I more often just grip it by the cylinder with my off hand and roll it as I center empty chambers in the loading area, plunking fresh rounds in. It's surprisingly fast and painless. I would not recommend it for the OP, though, primarily due to the slim, short...

    Do you pay the 3%?

    Illegal... Or just a violation of the merchant agreement with the CC company? Got to factor in CC cash back... 1-6%, depending on the store. My one, and possibly last, gun from Buds I took the 3% hit to try (in vain) to get the gun promptly.

    Shipping an AR Upper to Cook County

    It's not a firearm, it's not a high capacity magazine.. It's just parts. I vote legal. ...if we're taking a vote.

    Camping while hunting, Are Tents Still Safe?

    I think I've heard a variation of this kind of thinking before... Clean camp, spray + enough gun. I would rather tent camp in bear country than any of the homeless "tent cities" around here. It's not zero risk, but it's low enough, and you can prepare yourself. Maybe we should start a best...

    Earmuff opinions

    I wear plugs + muffs, I always want the highest NRR I can get, and take the time to properly fit both. The biggest thing for me is the fit... you have to gently roll and compress the plugs between your clean thumb and forefinger, not creating any creases, and insert fully into the ear canal, and...

    That looks like a nice peaceful range you have there--love that last shot; would love to have a similar setup some day

    How much ammo?

    5000+ .22lr (and all I have is a single ten) 750 .223 (need more.. Too expensive to shoot every trip) 3k 9x19... Most of my shooting, most of my pistols 200ish 380..lcp.. Just gets a refamiliarization workout with each range trip Maybe 100 each 380 and 9mm are ranger JHP, which occasionally get...

    CCWing into Somebody's Home.

    Would not mind at all if the repairman in my house was armed (the more ccw the better, a guy going into strange houses all day should be able to defend himself.) I subscribe to the concealed is concealed way of thinking--if I'm in your house, it's not coming out, it is staying holstered and...

    What does "MC" mean?

    That's a safe bet... They have some other coatings, too, though. The T* coating I know from their SLR lenses, that seems to be the higher-end coating, and they had another repellent coating that seemed useful, but then I also saw that they had some uncoated glass. I don't have any scope...
