    Another nice bargain-

    Palmetto State has a good price on a Rock 1911 today; Rock Island 1911 GI .45 ACP 5" 8rd Pistol - 56424 $279.99 and in stock to boot! Hey, it's a shooter, not a showpiece.

    Picked up a new one yesterday....

    Yesterday I picked up a new AR, this one in 458 SOCOM. It was for sale, and I didn't have one, so I brought it home. It's gonna take some $$ to feed the thing, but anything it hits is down to stay, and, hey, I didn't have one.

    They're at it again

    Looks like the Tisas basic Army 1911 is back on sale at three hundred and change. Hard to beat the price for what you get...

    Here is an add for another base model 1911, for just under $300. I don't know anything about these, other than what is on the sheet. https://www.kygunco.com/product/rock-island-ri56424-1911-gi-entry-45acp-5-fs?utm_source=KyGunCo+Marketing&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Rock+Island+GI+1911

    Help with Mini 14 mag loading

    I need some help locating a decent mag loader for my mini-14 .223/5.56 magazines. My old fingers/thumbs are taking a beating! I have what is probably the best AR mag loader, from Maglula, it's their bench loader, love that thing, last session, I loaded 80 30rd mags in no time. Problem is, the...

    $0.20 9mm.....

    range ammo. Dam sight different from a few years back! Not a commercial, but I'm running out of room for those little black ammo boxes from 2A. Biggest question now is, will it drop much more? Great time to shop.

    Another drastic mistake.....

    By a mentally challenged politician! Awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to H. Clinton is like handing the Medal of Honor to Charles Manson. I'm sure the Chinese government was very proud of their agent.(s)

    Absolutely Nothing.....

    To do with 1911's! Or, real firearms for that mater. I looked at, and bought a new UMAREX .22 air rifle today. The thing uses NITROGEN can's, not Co2, and you only get 40-50 shots on a tube, but dam, those shots are powerful! It came with a cheap scope, so I mounted the thing, sighted it in...

    Here's an old one.......

    Dug this one out of a safe. Not sure when I got it, but it's been here for awhile. I sent it down to my gunsmith friend, and he put a new cerakote finish on it. It was kind of beat up and neglected, sort of a '45 truck gun, I guess. Anyhow, it was always a good shooter, and now that it's...

    Mil-Surp 5.56 ammo

    Has anyone seen any sign of this ammo being sold off at surplus prices? Since the U.S. Military basically abandoned this round, it should be flooding the market. I remember the tons of 30.06 being dumped many years ago, when they pretty much quit using the stuff. The U.S. has millions of...

    Dam, I did it again.

    Picked up a Sig Legion SAO P229 the other day. Apparently the sao's are hard to find. Anyhow, I was looking for something to use in a raffle/fundraiser, and before it was delivered, my FFL said he bet I'd end up keeping it. After checking it out, he was right. Dam nice pistola, for a...

    A Tisas update, FWIW

    I just got off the phone with my gunsmith, he called to tell me a little bit of news on another Stingray .45. Seems one of his customers has been shooting one, trying his best to get it to fail. 30,000 documented rounds, the gun was disassembled, and given a full physical. absolutely no signs...

    Another recent adoptee

    Here is another newcomer to my collection. A FFL friend called a couple months back, said he was ordering a little LCP Max, 75th version, did I want one? The price was too good to pass up, got one. It shoots good for what it is, and "hides" very well in the pocket of shorts, turned out to be...

    It happened again...

    I was over at one my local gun shops the other day, got to talking about Fostechs, and he said "here's a new one". It was a 9mm with a Grayguns module, and Sig P320 custom innards. You know the rest, it usually happens in a matter of minutes. Anyhow, after some minor adjusting, the thing...

    Stay away from xHolster!

    There is an ad running in various locations, regarding this companies "belly band" holster. Number one, there is a pre-checked box for an extender, and then there is the quality of the thing. Not worth the postage! This company will not answer complaints, and will not honor any returns, I...

    All you new small business owners

    I just thought I'd take a minute and thank the dumb ass at 1600 for the new business opportunity. Never thought much about becoming a dealer.

    FOR SALE Wlson EDC X9

    Selling this "safe queen" it's only been out one time, and that was less that 50 rds. To me, it's not a carry gun, too expensive to use, and have it land in an evidence room. I bought it all new, comes with case, range bag, 13 Wilson mags. and original papers. $3000 FFL/FFL

    Checking the waters

    Something that wasn't really of interest to me in the past. I'm building an AR in 10mm auto. Just about finished. Should be shooting it this week sometime. The more I read, the more interested I got. I wanted to build something I didn't have, and 10 was on that list. Will try to use it on...
