Exactly... and you can find all the ammo you want. =) You can even shoot it in our 625. =P

45 gap is avail. http://www.natchezss.com/ammo.cfm?contentId=ammoGroup&ammoGroup=2&searchBy=size&ammoSize=301&category=3

That much? The past few stores I went to, and auction, 45 acp was readily avail for $25 a box. heh. yeah, $25 a box is already $100.

If you look, you were able to find 9mm for $10 a box, average in cost between wolf and federal. The stuff that comes out of my press is a much more reasonable $5.50 a box. =P

45 GAP.... yup.... Gaston Glock sucks suck it. You can find 45 gap ammo. What now? lol In all seriousness, This is why you stock up on a year or two years worth of reloading components. The ability to know you can produce ammo if you need to... priceless.

I have not shot i a few months due to either being sick or being away on business.. I don't see existing shooters shoot less due to ammo crunch, as quite a few of the people reload..... however NEW Shooter participation will likely take a hit due to the fact that it is tougher to justify a match. Put it this way, a local match will be around 150 to 200 rounds of ammo. So 3 or 4 boxes. If someone shoots 9mm... Pre Crunch. Match Fee - $20 Ammo $40 ($10 x 4 boxes) Total $60 for the day. Currently, a match would run you about $100 all in, not including gas, etc. Still beats shooting at paper at a Shore Shot or what not, (where if you rent or buy ammo you will easily spend a lot more) So if you reload, most reloaders will carry a few months worth of supplies.... I know I am right now I am good for 6 to 9 months, and as long as I can pick up a few more boxes of primers, will be good for the next 12 months. Powder is readily avail, bullets have a bit of a lead time on, but are avail. Brass is Brass. =) Primers are the weak link, however still there. I am down to about 6k small pistol primers, so bout 6 months of shooting. Worst case.... large pistol primers in a 45. hehe. Where I can see bigger issues are the NRA high power guys, and other matches, where 223 just went from $.30 a round up to $1.20.

Unless you must buy one.....just wait... prices should be lower, Should being operative word as long as no ban passes. If you can find a polymer lower... get one. that is your insurance ticket. They are great lowers. Otherwise the current difference between PA and NJ is essentially the telescoping stock and mags. All of my guns would have a muzzle break/compensator over a flash hider. So all you would need when you move is unpin the stock if you must, and get standard capacity mags.

Ah, it is that weekend.... I would not be able to make it.... I will be in Florida that weekend for a work conference. Trying to figure out when I can fly out in order to make the Rally on the 8th, be in Florida that weekend for the start of conference and not get raped on airfare.

Damn Alec, nice job,you are flying with that revo. =)

Why not? Holiday or what? I did not get email. Humn, maybe I will sneak out to FL for the Open. assuming this flu shit is done.

I am actually surprised the AK variants did not go up as fast as AR's. Granted, you do not hear AK in the media. The tough part is....for all the people saying prices will come down.... what if the ban is shoved through like Obamacare was? or better yet, a NJ law.... those that cannot get any will pay twice what they sold it for just to get it back. Granted, the probability of an actual ban is quite low.... but to some people, it is a price they are willing to pay for insurance. If the ban does not come.... yeah, the prices will absolutely plummet back down to normal levels, and then again below recent levels as you can certainly say.... the next 2 years of rifle supply has been bought up over the past few months. Anyone who was thinking about buying an AR..... already bought one.

So where are the videos? I am having a match withdrawal.

the membership part is not really, they had an issue about it. Your donations would be deductible, but otherwise, it is just membership to a club.... consult your tax professional.

haha. I did not really read the issue.... er, have to find it.

Go Sheriffs! Really good read.

totally forgot this match was this weekend.... but been sick for 3 weeks now... so will be out, but may drop by to say hello.

heh. high... hehe. In Las Vegas, the cheapest SKS was $1,000 and pmags for $60. Glad prices are down. Anyone see any reloading supplies? primers?

I did not like the FNP but the FNX 45 fit alot better for some reason, shot really well too at Shot Show media day.

the longer I am a gun owner, the more I realize how screwed we really are. We are made to feel that a 30 round or 100 round magazine makes you a nut job, a collapsible stock is evil, god forbid you have a flash suppressor. They then tell you.... we will let you have x, y, and z..... and as such we are used to it. We cannot be contempt living with shitty gun laws, but rather should be fighting to get rid of this stupidity. Plenty of people walk around with guns, own 100 round magazines and drums for their AR's, have SBR's, Suppressors, and guess what, they are not criminals. Unfortunately, you can't treat stupid, and as long as the vast majority of political system is controlled by libertards speaking for those they want to depend on them, we will have this repression. As soon as the first anti gun law comes out, I am out of this shit hole state.

Ok, seriously I do wonder now.... how come this was not a problem back in the Soviet Union or anywhere else for that matter 30 years ago? 50 years ago? Or did we just not hear about it? $10 bucks says if this happened in Texas.... this would not happen in Texas.

Got quite a few more pics from the last day at the show. Will upload them and post here.

The Taurus and caracal carbines. Saw the Taurus and was impressed, will be ordering one. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

Alright, more goodness. For the past few days I have been really sick, with the cold/flu, so did not spend too much time at the show. Was able to sneak in for a few hours today. Visited Sphinx, EAA and Kahr. Sphinx These guys make really really awesome, high end handguns in Switzerland, however very few have made it to the States. They have partnered with Kriss and KWA and will now manufacture more guns in the states. I have played with their new Standard size Sphix gun. steel frame. awesome gun, more details to come however pricepoint is about $1500. They also had a two tone one for competitions, steel frame, heavy heavy and awesome gun. No price point on it yet. Kahr/Magnum Research New Ultra Compact Desert Eagle 1911. 3" barrel, to compete with the Kimber. Really really nice gun, This gun was put together 3 days before shot show, and is made by BUL in Israel, like the other 1911's, the full size and the Commander sized. Awesome fit and finish. Kahr also came out with new guns, in a series, the CM 45 and 380. These are to compliment the P series, although these are a few hundred cheaper. So the "value" line. Essentially, it uses a MIM slide stop instead of machined, the slide is rollmarked, and not etched in. and the slide is machine cut on top instead of the serration. Overall, still very very nice gun, MSRP of $500 or so. Pics comparing the P and CM series below. EAA Polymer 1911. Did that sink in yet? While I was at the Sphinx table, I heard a rumor that Tanfoglio overnighted a polymer 1911 frame to EAA. Rushed over again to EAA and saw this bad boy. It is a prototype that has about 5,000 rounds through it. It uses standard 1911 parts, however the grip is not changeable. You can however stipple or redo the grip as you please. It is not painted, so it will obviously not be that color. As per EAA, it will likely be 6 months before it is here. Overall, they are backordered, and have 2 years worth of guns on order. It should take 7 months to build and get here. Otherwise, EAA has zero guns in stock, and as soon as they get any in, they are sent out to distributors. Will update post in a few seconds with pics.

Chris, that would be $390 Lowers and $2,000 wasr 10 from Shore Shot. =) He was not that bad.... at least he lowered prices. He was also on CNBC today. I did not catch it.

ok quick update. The XDs 9mm, while I still stand by, I am not impressed, but the trigger on the demo model at the show itself was significantly better.... it still felt worse than the XDs 45 that I have shot. The rep though says that the 45 and the 9mm use the same components. Went to glock, Sig, CZ, a few others. Will update a little later. Quite honestly, this year we do not have that much stuff, and Glock is making me less of a hater. They are building a facility here in the United States, that will allow them to start producing stuff they currently cannot bring in, such as 380 and 22 LR conversion kits. the new 30SF was pretty nice, but not my cup of tea. They are expecting that their backlog will reach over 1 million guns by the end of the week. The rep I spoke with yesterday was not as knowledgeable. Sig had some nice new guns. New trend... sticking rail mounted gun sights like the Burris Fast Fire on the guns.
