    The realities of high cost of ammo

    Just got an e-mail from USA Ammo advertising the amazingly low price of $100 per box of 50 for .45acp. Want a 1000 rounds? $2000 please. Whatever. I have other hobbies. I feel bad for the folks who make a living training or shooting competition. That industry will be drying up fast.

    .44 Magnum vs .357 Magnum

    .357 gets my vote. I have a GP100 and love it. Been looking at a Ruger Vaquero in 45 acp.

    Ammo shortage easing or not?

    I don't know if we have actual numbers from any of the ammo manufactures that anyone can go on as fact. However, just taking the numbers Geezer gave on the 22lr CCI is producing, and taking a wild guess at the number of big chain, medium size and small mom and pop gun stores that exist in...

    9mm Carry Ammo

    I just picked up my first Glock (19) and decided on Speer Gold Dot 115 gr. I like Gold Dot and have used it in my 1911 for a while.

    There are better pics further in the thread on the Pak site.

    Need input regarding CCW permits?

    I don't think there is a downside of getting a permit to carry - other than you shouldn't have to constitutionally speaking but that's an aside. You don't have to carry if you don't feel ready to do so. Also, in some states, it can speed up the gun purchase process.

    Glock Bite

    I have a grip force on my G19 and I like it but for the fact that in the middle of a day at the range the pin works out and starts to cut into my hand.

    Catastrophic Failure, ALL CARACAL OWNERS PLEASE READ AND BE SAFE

    Why do you think it is suspect? You realize that not only is he in a different time zone but in another country? I don't think anyone here can describe a day in the OP's life. As for drumming up business to a gun forum in Pakistan, I don't think the OP would pick THR. No offense meant but, did...

    Gun Owners - Hurting our own cause, giving the Anti's fuel

    The media doesn't need to be ordered. For the last 50 years every level of the main stream media, including the journalism schools, have been occupied by liberal progressives who gladly push their agenda. As for gun owners hurting the cause, you are probably correct. But, how many new gun...

    No more ammo at Walmart? (merged threads)

    Rumor or not, the Walmart here has ammo on the shelf but will not sell it. I've also seen posted signs on other forums at Walmart that state they have stopped selling ammo. Makes me wonder if the other rumors are true about one EO that will make ammunition a certain class of hazmat in which...

    Weapons in the bedroom at night?

    As a general rule I do not say anything in a post that I would not say to someone's face. So, if we were all sitting around a table I would have said pretty much what I did with the exception of simply asking if anyone practiced midnight drills. But I can't see your faces and it is the Internet...

    White House ready to use 19 Executive Orders on Guns

    It was my understanding that any EO is reversible. Since an EO is not a law any sitting president can void another's EO. It's just not done very much.

    Weapons in the bedroom at night?

    Reality? Okay, fine. Here's my reality; you have kids, you don't have kids. The kids are toddlers, grade school, high school, college. You have a wife. You don't have a wife but maybe a significant other, living in sin. Dirty sinner. You're a heavy sleeper or a light one. Your bed pal snores or...

    Economy AR

    To OP - a thread like this is going to get you many opinions. Nothing brings out the experts more than an AR or 1911 thread. That's said, I'll throw out my opinion. You don't need to spend $2000 for a custom build to get "go to war" quality - whatever that means. A basic mil-spec or better AR...

    My NIB Colt, is not so NIB

    I think we need pics to be able to give accurate advice at this point. Your analogy is not at all apples to apples. The equivalent would be; would you accept an Abrams tank with a scratch on it or a Humvee with a nic? The Colt M4 is a fighting weapon first. All that said, depending on what...

    rra polymer frame 1911?

    Umm....okay. I have no idea what you are referencing. I can assure you that I made no comment in regards to anyone's bits and pieces. It would seem that things are being taken out of context, misread, or not being received as intended. I like the 1911 but I'm not digging the vibe you're...

    rra polymer frame 1911?

    I think that implies an interest regardless of what you wrote one sentence later. Also the rather lengthy reply to my post suggested more than just a passive interest as I was reading it. Not sure where I made a personal attack so maybe dial down the accusations a bit. This is an Internet...

    rra polymer frame 1911?

    Yes, and I'm sure Colt thought they had a good idea with the Colt 2000. Just because a company sinks money into R&D doesn't mean it's a good idea. So you want a matching set? Does that mean an AR with a Plum Crazy lower and an RRA upper to match your poly 1911? To each their own I suppose...
