    POLL: When will the ammo shortage end?

    I keep seeing .22LR going for twice the price that it was just before this crisis hit. If you can get it at all, of course. The greater the profit, the more likely production will find a way to ramp up. Either way, $7.00 Mini-Mag, 100 count or $15.00, 525 count bulk .22LR's have probably...

    What are you carrying today?

    I'm in a school building right now. So nothing. I am almost exclusively LC9 IWB otherwise. It's my Goldilocks option!

    Now this is very interesting!

    Being partially self-employed, I appreciate the efforts the non-Big Box and non Internet businesses have to extend to stay in business. 'Nuff Said.

    Now this is very interesting!

    That looks like one premier facility! So nice they might have to post a "No Camo" sign on the entrances. :D Ma-n-Pa LGS's are hurting pretty bad with the ammo situation. Now they may have to face another threat in the form of a Big Box range and shop moving in to deplete what remains of the...

    Mama said OK........

    Really nice rifle! Gave mine to my son as well. Now I feel like I have to buy another to fill the void!

    Scouting for .22LR ammo...

    The shelves around here remain dismally empty when I walk by. I've come to take that as a sign that the clerks are watching when I walk in. They then immediately pull all the stockk ammo I am looking for. Just a very bad joke on me and nothing more! :o

    New 45

    Good call on the $549. Sure I'd pay less, but that's very reasonable in a reasonable world.

    New 45

    Congratulations! The XDs is on the short list and remains rare here. I've only seen one in the case and didn't have the chance to handle it. Pricing wasn't bad as I expected.

    Christmas in July especially for those suffering from LOST-D

    Yes, Dave is ahead of the curve and I'm an Airsoft believer. Airsoft replicas are a very practical way to ramp your training up. My own, less than a 1/2 acre, backyard allows daily opportunities to get some exercise and airsoft rounds off. Spring loaders are quiet enough and I'm careful...

    Airsoft question

    I picked a no brand name up for $24. My son and I have already put a couple of jars of pellets through it and it's running strong and surprisingly accurate. I figured if it failed, we already got our money's worth out of it.

    Taurus TCP 380

    I did that with my LCP. There are now 3 in the family. Slight price difference from the TCP, but not a horribly so. For the many hundreds of thousands produced, even on this forum, you hear very few complaints about Ruger's offering. It comes down to the way it fits your hand and the...

    Stand your ground laws

    Zimmerman - NOT GUILTY!!!!!!

    It was very wrong-headed for any president to weigh in on such an issue. It was also wrong-headed for civic leaders to whip up the frenzy and turning this into a circus. The police got it right, as proven by the jury, and when there is doubt, due process does seem to work.

    Illinois reciprocity?

    Luckily, I have no plans to visit the state now or... pretty much ever. Hopefully reciprocity can work itself out before my plans change.

    Zimmerman - NOT GUILTY!!!!!!

    Agreed that there should never been a trial, but there was enough bone-headedness in the incident that it would have fueled rioting in the streets without one. This also showcases how slippery the slope is when terminal force is used in an altercation.

    POLL: When will the ammo shortage end?

    Whoever came up with the plan to dry up the ammo supply is really diabolical. Listening to the news, criminal gun use is almost completely out of control. Driving to and from work and past our range reveals a consistently deserted parking lot. It's not happening at all. As usual, someone...

    good choice! Get a second one as well. You won't regret going shot for shot with him.

    What to do with no .22? Airgun of the week!

    I sent my son on an ammo expedition to Fin, Feather, & Fur. He reported CCI .22 LR 325 bulk packs at $32, then looked at and purchased a spring loaded 300 fps airsoft Sig 226 on sale for $24 with 2000 rounds of plastic ammo. I believe it's a Palco KA-10 for what it's worth. He brought it...
