That's a reference to Federal HST ammo, which is Federal's competitor to Gold Dot. Yes it's great for self defense. Both are excellent rounds. And .40/round is an excellent price at any time. When I converted my Sig P229 to 357 Sig I just bought HST for the pistol and didn't bother with practice FMJ rounds. At this price it was competitive with range ammo. Some say HST stands for Hydra Shok Two. Hydra Shok was the first version of this line. I don't think Federal ever formally said that. HST was just a name. Perhaps someone knows different.

BTW, the list of .80/round is not inflated. Gold Dot and HST have listed at that price for at least the last year.

$432.19 / 1000 = .43/round delivered. I'm not sure I understand your post. Did you buy it? I'm on their mailing list. They've sent emails for all the HST and Gold Dot 50% off sales. Worked every time.

I mistakenly posted this as a reply to the Geissele thread, not a stand alone post. TargetSportsUSA has all Speer Gold Dot Law Enforcement 50 rd boxes / 1000 rd cases only at half price, which works out to .40/rounds. "While supplies last." Sale ends Saturday. And for you to confirm the sale is still active, I need to add this: Everytime there's a sale like this at TSUSA you don't see the discount until it's in the cart. The discount did not show up on the product home page. The email I got specified .40/round, if the product is in stock. Tonight I didn't add to cart etc. to check this. But anyone interested in the product should do that. The discount will appear as a credit at checkout. You would see this BEFORE you place the order. Just verify your order total = .40/round. Plus tax. Let me know if anyone does this. That's the way it's worked on all the sales I exercised. In the Geissele thread @Krdshrk noted he didn't see the discount. I assume he was on the product page.

Hey, me too! I'm looking at this one for a 10mm CMMG Banshee. Although I want a single purpose case for that pistol. One like yours may be in the future. Savior looks like a good product line.

Yikes! Well, you obviously get what you pay for. My compliments for also knowing how to use it properly. When I buy another 7,500 rounds of 9mm (at pre-COVID prices) I'll think of your lens! Seriously, nice shots. Enjoy and be proud.

I wish I could take pictures like that!

@Mr.Stu Glad you liked it. Yes Turing was a good one, if an odd sort of fellow. Lots of videos on code breaking up there as well. Since every century has its share of evil despots I can't help but wonder how long will it be before one arises and gets ahold of some 21st century technology. Or, what if the reincarnation of Lavrentiy Beria got ahold of Google and/or the NSA and made it work for his purposes? We've seen the tip of that one already.

You may recall that at Google's inception its unofficial motto, and a formal statement in its Code Of Conduct, was "Do no evil". Did you realize they rescinded that two years ago? So what? Well, maybe at the outset Google correctly anticipated what would be the breadth, depth and scope of their influence and they wanted to remind themselves that they would be a 'beneficent' company. Whatever their reasoning, why did they change it? Have they discovered the ultimate purposes of Alphabet may intersect somewhere with the set known as 'evil'? This came to my attention while (inadvertently) watching the YouTube video below. The real subject is what computers can't do, and why. I found the discussion fascinating, even if the speaker is the fastest talking human I've ever heard outside of advertising. But aside from that he branched off into several other areas I particularly enjoy thinking about. However he started the lecture with a short segment on Killer Robots. Initially it sounds like something far fetched to get you interested in the rest of his talk. But at 4:15 there's a punch line the audience laughs at, which in reality may not be so funny. Listen to at least the first six minutes or so and see what you think.

"And so Democrats move to raise the purchase price of firearms and ammunition so that only the richest 1% and their armed security guards can afford them." Let's read it that way.

I would assume anyone who had a firearm that was beyond the purview of all record keeping systems would be discreet about putting pictures of that firearm and its serial number on the Internet. If a firearm is already traceable and in the information pipe by serial number, then maybe not so important.

Frank was running the store front when we went. I still have his hand written work orders. (Mrs. 45Doll has an identical pistol.) I guess the gunsmithing retired with Austin. Nice to know at least one person on the forum (or in the state?) knows who Austin was. And I loved the story, true or not. Those pistols are like part of our hands when we shoot them. BTW, I also called Bill Wilson that year about similar work. But I was new to firearms and the thought of sending them both off to Arkansas to someone I never met was too much to consider. So we drove down to Behlert's, whose reputation at the time was more than assuring. I guess if Wilson had done the work we might have some added prestige value to the pistols now. But we got what we paid for and they shoot great.

I agree. Even when things were working well I had to have at least four handguns in the pipe to make a MPE worthwhile. Three or less didn't seem worth it. The only 'good' aspect of OGAM from my wallet's point of view is that it slowed me down! And made me more selective.

SP-015 and SP-016. The two most useful forms the state of New Jermany has ever produced. There are also continuation pages if all your handguns won't fit on the first one!

Thanks for the inquiry, but no, not now. I do like the pistol Shoot one if you can, and a 21, before you decide. There are some people who had the same issue with the 30 I did, but many others who did not. Depends on your particular hand. Check out GlockTalk.com for that.

I have the 21 and the 30. Outside of this People's Republic the 21 is 13 rounds of get-out-of-my-face .45 ACP, and I don't have a problem with the grip size. In fact Mrs. 45Doll also shoots her own. The 30 presented an issue. The flesh on my pinky kept getting pinched between the magazine base plate and the grip. And after five or ten rounds it was annoying. I solved that with the right size and diameter O-ring slid on the mag to close the gap. Now no place for my pinky to go. Once that was done the 30 was fine. If I'm not mistaken I believe the 30 is Ayoob's preferred carry pistol.

So lots of us have received the (in)famous scam emails from Nigerian bankers who want to send you millions of dollars if only you'll let them. Well now they're onto an Unemployment Insurance scam that so far has bilked Washington state out of hundreds of millions of dollars. And that is probably not the only state targeted. Your tax dollars, and at least one state government, at work.
