I get emails from Davidson's and other distributors. This week they are having a special on HK P30L in 40 S&W for $469. Assume + shipping + dealer markup.
Also seems like a deal? on M9A3.
Also, the Walther Creed is $249. This was actually a really nice gun when I got to play with it at Shot Show. Surely better than the lower end Smiths, etc.

After quite a while and plenty of talking about it(as some of you know, and are tired of hearing about my yearn for a VP9) i finally have an HK VP9 LE model of my own. I cant wait to put some rounds through it. Its is just a beauty. Makes me instantly want a collection of them. Long story short i am very happy!
However...I was going through the manual and running through the info in the case when I came across the typical "spent casing" pouch. Its dated for a month out! As in July 2015! I found this weird. For anyone else who has purchased a VP9 or an HK pistol, do you know when the pouch/ casing was dated? Was the date pre or post you getting it? I dont imagine its of any real significance either way, just weird.
Anyone else had any similar experiences with any firearm, HK or not?

Was chatting with a buddy of mine at the range, who owns both pistols, and prefers the Walther PPQ just slightly over H&K VP9. Never shooting the H&K VP9, I was surprised by his observation due to H&K's rep. But his view was just that: people love VP9 over PPQ due to the "hype" and "rep" of H&K. Full disclosure: he is a H&K fan and loves his VP9.
Question to those who shot both: forget brand name, which do you prefer and why?

Seems to be a Good price on P30S, all others sell it starting $800+, Buds sells it at $840 or so.
$750 + $6 shipping seems to be very tempting. If only I had permits in hand...

I'm considering picking up an HK USC 45 in the near future. In stock form, it doesn't really do a whole lot for me, but the UMP conversion is enticing. I don't think it's a very practical purchase, but I like the uniqueness and I've wanted to add a pistol caliber carbine to my collection.
Anyway, my question is if anyone here owns a UMP conversion and if so, where did you have the conversion and compliance work done? I'd rather give a local gunsmith the business if they're experienced with the conversion, rather than send it across the country. I'd need to have the USC receiver milled out a bit to accept UMP magazines, the UMP stock pinned, and magazines blocked, while maintaining 922r compliance. I'm hoping someone in NJ is familiar with and willing to handle the work.

The 550 is not a true progressive as it does not auto index, right? I'm in the process of selling myself on a XL750. For a starter press, you can't go far wrong with a Lee Classic Turret. It is cheap, auto indexes, and swapping calibers is easy. NB. If you go for a manually indexed press and work multiple cartridges at once, be particularly careful to monitor the powder drop stage to avoid no powder or double charges. With an auto indexing press the risk is way lower.

The Dillon 550's are amazing machines. Plenty fast, and while there are faster machines in the Dillon lineup, the trade-off is that the faster ones take longer to change between calibers, and the caliber conversion kits are more expensive. You can use the 550 as a single stage press, one cartridge in the shell plate at a time, rotating between the stations after each handle pull. It's a good way to start out and gain experience. I've got a single stage press as well, used for larger rifle cartridges and the occasional oddball handgun cartridge that I don't shoot enough to justify the cost of a caliber conversion kit for the Dillon...but it sounds like those use cases aren't in your immediate future.

Why is the single stage an advantage exactly? Could I not build them on the progressive? -
My suggestion is to get a single stage too. This way it's easier to build loads as for progressives I run two lee pro 1000s ones set up for large pistol primers and one for small.

The forecast for Sunday the 5th looks bad, 70% chance of rain. I'm postponing two weeks, as the following weekend is a most sacred holiday, Mother's day. As of now, we are looking at 5-19-24 as the next shoot date.
