Fact of the matter is Hornady makes some of the best defensive and hunting ammo around, and if they want to have a little fun and get people talking about their product, then more power to 'em. I really don't see them losing very much market share because of the zombie ammo. And what's that saying... Any publicity is good publicity. Hell, if the CDC can jump on the zombie bandwagon, why not ammo manufacturers? If people are getting upset about this, then they clearly have too much time on their hands and need to get out a little more.

Happy bday, Ken!

Hmmm not sure why you're getting that. It's a legitimate auction site like gunbroker. They also posted it on their gunreports.com site: http://www.gunreports.com/news/news/firearms-ownership-New-Jersey-rules-regulations-fascism_3469-1.html

Video made it into the auctionarms.com/gunaction.com newsletter: http://www.gunauction.com/news/article/20111024-firearms-ownership-New-Jersey-rules-regulations-fascism.cfm

Will these be available to any member of the forum or just the ones that shoot USPSA/IDPA?

Happy Bday Troy

Just wanted to add that holsters are a very subjective thing. I own G-Codes, Comptacs, and Bladetechs (as well as a number of other brands), and for ME, the BladeTech is my least favorite. I know I'm in the minority in that respect, but again, it's a subjective thing. Just for reference, I snapped some quick pics. From left to right - G-Code for Glock, CompTac for M&P, BladeTech for Beretta G-Code, CompTac, BladeTech G-Code CompTac BladeTech In my mind, the build quality between the 3 is similar enough that it's hard to argue against the G-code when you can get them for under 20 bux. That said, I don't own any 1911s and can't speak specifically to the quality of G-Code's 1911 holsters. I probably wouldn't think of them as highly as I do if I ran into the problems Pizza Bob did. At the end of the day, all 3 are quality brands, and you won't go wrong with any of them.

With a 3 year waiting period, there really isn't much to talk about...

How long is the waiting list?

I've been using a Gcode holster on my "battle belt" for a couple years. Good holster, especially for the money. There are a ton of mounting options, which is also a big plus. My only real criticism is that it wouldn't be my first choice if concealment was a concern. Natchezss has the best prices on G-Codes that I've found: http://www.natchezss.com/category.cfm?category=14&brand=EY&catLevel=1

Indeed you did. I just went thru my email, and lo and behold, there it was... an email from Oct 10th that referenced the meeting on the 19th. My apologies... I'm usually pretty good about keeping up with emails, but somehow that one went unnoticed. Will do my best to make the next one at GFH

+1 I didn't realize the meeting was last night, either

They're not going to want to make the drive, just like I don't

"state of the art" may have been a bit of an overstatement on my part. I've probably spent a little too much time at the Bayonne range where the target movers routinely fall off the track, so I may have been overly impressed that RTSP has target movers where you can specify the distance and the target magically goes to that distance. As for the radek comment.. i'm leaving that one alone

For me, IF it was closer, I might have considered it (at the discounted rate) just to not have to deal with tripping over gang bangers and rent-a-cops. I do agree that most of the membership will probably come from local (20 minute drive or less) people.

But how do you calculate value? For some people, a new "state of the art" facility, has value. There is something to be said about shooting at a range that has target movers that actually work properly... where you can dial in your desired distance. A nice, clean, friendly atmosphere is also a good thing, that for some people also adds to the value. And don't discount distance to the range. For some people, being 10-15 minutes away adds value as well. Now, since the range isn't even open yet, some of those "value adders" are still unknowns... but I wouldn't so hastily dismiss their price point as "nuts". For some people, it will be just right. The question is, will it be enough people... ETA: And no, I won't be getting a membership. The 40-45 minute drive kills it for me. I will drop in hourly just to check the place out tho.

There's a special place reserved in hell for people that bring Mosins with muzzle brakes to an indoor range

Let's not get it twisted, Raymond. IDPA is just a different type of game. It's still timed.. it still has "game" rules.. and it's NOT real training. It may be "more real" than USPSA, but it's still a game.

Took you long enough

No first hand experience, but the Mossberg 930 Field/Security combo (#85325) falls WELL within the $800 price range (they usually sell for under $550). http://www.mossberg.com/products/default.asp?id=32&section=products (scroll thru till you find the field/security model) - comes with an 18.5" barrel and a 28" barrel

I also use Slip2000 on my ARs (and most other firearms)
