    Buyers market..?

    How much is a few bucks? My LGS is having a sale on all 9mm pistols this weekend which is 10% off. One of their examples is the HK VP9 for $589 or normal price $639. Meanwhile you can find these all day long for $499 including another LGS. Now on top of the $80 price difference tack on another...

    Are custom molded ear plugs better?

    I really want to need to look into getting the custom ones. I find the foam ones irritate my ear canal, but I have never liked sticking things in my ears. I don't even like the earbuds that go in the canal compared to the ones that just rest outside it. I only shoot indoors so I double up, but...

    shooting mat for big guy.

    If you go the carpet route, check out industrial carpet. It is more common as carpet tiles, but may not be as heavy since it tends to be less plush. Something else to consider is an outdoor exercise mat or yoga mat. You can get large ones for less than $100. Just make sure you look at ones made...

    New all American made Lionheart Regulus

    Unfortunately Lionheart abandoned their Black Friday sales back in 2016. They said too many people would wait for the sale so weren't selling enough the rest of the year. Of course this might tell you the product is priced higher than many would pay, but that is just me. I keep hoping to see a...

    Don’t shoot it ‘cause it might break, and then no parts available.

    I wasn't into guns when they were around, but this issue keeps stopping me every time I am about to pull the trigger on one. I instead look to buying something new that is still supported since there is more than enough supported pieces out there that I may never find the time to shoot.

    Anyone actually buy from Bud's et al

    My LGS sells at MSRP and sometimes even above so I don't even bother looking there. Not all of us have big block gun stores. I have a Bass Pro and that's it. Also Bud's gives the cash discount for multiple payment types like echeck, but they will hold for the funds to clear.

    To .22 or Not to .22

    I recently went shooting. It wasn't my first time shooting, but I had only been once or twice before and that was over 20 years ago. I shot 9mm, 22, 40, and a 45 all in semi-auto, and all at 7 yards. Overall I would say I enjoyed the 9mm the best. The recoil felt manageable where I would be...

    Please, Not Another Gun!

    Once upon a time I helped some family inventory a collection they acquired. By the end I think we were all over revolvers. It would be one thing if they were all different models, but 80% were one model. After a while seeing something different was the only thing that kept us going.

    At my LGS today and were they busy!

    I view it more as people who planned on possibly buying in the future and accelerated their timeline or finally pulled the trigger. People don’t like to be told they can’t have something so they buy as a result. It is just like how grocery stores will limit quantities. They found if quantities...
