Prices on ammo before they shot up.
I only started shooting about 2 years ago...going by memory... Remington 9mm 50rd boxes were $12 locally Remington Golden Bullet or Federal Value 525rd .22LR packs were $15-17 locally CCI Mini Mag .22LR 100 packs were $6-7 locally CCI Stinger .22LR 50 packs were $6-7 locally, 4.80 online (before shipping) Winchester White Box .223 20 pack I got on clearance for $5 per Remington Yellow Jacket 100pk .22LR online $3.50 (before shipping) Magtech 9mm 250rd value pack $48-55 online Winchester White Box .45ACP 100 pack $35-40 locally CCI AR Tactical .22LR 375rd packs $23 locally (went up to $29 when they started calling em mini mags) 7.62x54R 20pk retail boxes about $7-8 online (before shipping) I never bought any, but I remember seeing .40S&W 50pks for around $17-19 locally This year was to be the year I was going to concentrate on stockpiling more ammo, buying spare mags, and getting a centerfire semiauto rifle...oh well

just a little clarification...
I am deeply offended by this. And the solution to keyboard commandos is to simply have everyone come out to one of the shotgun shoot days or various other events and put faces to those screen names. I've only met a few people here, but it was a pleasant experience... And everyone is armed, so everyone is nice...

What guns have their own calibers?
5.7x28 - P90(+PS90) and Five-seveN pistol, and I believe a few others since the introduction of the cartridge...though all I can now think of are the AR57 uppers...

Possesion in the work place
I know of a few who are former LEOs, so there is that possibility. I was curious about the same thing at other places, where some employees are certainly too young to have been LEOs before working there. I'm wondering if places with ranges qualify as an 'exemption' of sorts, since you can bring handguns to a range legally?

Best Semi-Auto .22?
It can be, just loctite all the screws. Im certainly no gunsmith, and even i have fully disassembled the gsg to individual components with no problems. Ive had to do it a few times trying to fix light strikes. GSG522 is a fun gun, but it is a pain to take down until you get real mp5 push pins. They are known for developing light strikes, though ATI/GSG service is helpful. However, without owning either, my votes are for the 10/22 or m&p15-22. The gsg can be annoying some days. 10/22 is the standard for semi auto .22s and I will own one sometime soon. You will have so many options for the 10/22 or 15-22 that you can make that gun 100% YOURS.

Night owl night vision products *reviewed*
Gen 1 NV is better than I expected, though I wasn't expecting much. Range is limited, though it improves with an IR illuminator or under moonlight. I have a Yukon 4x50 gen1 riflescope with built-in IR illuminator. I also bought a single chip 3W IR LED flashlight, which provides for good long throw as well as some peripheral illumination, a bit better than the built-in. For shorter ranges, out to maybe 150-175 feet (less if not using the IR and not under moonlight), a gen1 should suffice. I haven't had many opportunities to use mine at ranges beyond 100-150ft. However, I use mine for airsoft, so I have used it for locating and targeting people in the woods, in fields, and inside buildings (and occasionally to identify what animals are in my back yard). The more cluttered the surroundings, the harder it will be to ID things through the scope. If there are a lot of leaves, bushes, tall grasses, etc, in the way of your target, you might not see much. If the target is walking on short grass in an open field, you probably can see them from beyond 200 feet... For weapon use, a Gen2/2+ or digital night vision may be better options. For messing around, Gen1 can be had dirt cheap and is a fun thing to play with. There was a thread a few months ago about NV scopes...might have some useful info for anyone interested... http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/48275-information-thermal-night-vision-vs-traditional-night-vision/

card holder for FID card
Mine is in a thin laminate that is flexible. Wish I'd waited to get the thicker laminate done, but it's held up fine for two years (well, tomorrow is two years). I saw the card of a friend who got his last year, who didn't laminate his, and it's already looking worn to hell. It would be nice if they made them a normal size. If they put the FID onto your driver's license, are they gonna make the DL 10% larger so it no longer fits into any credit card slots or ID holders? All that extra information on the DL will need the extra surface area, right?

I Need Radar detecter Opinions
Have any radar detectors figured out how to safely block Audi and BMW blind spot radars yet? or are they actually the exact same frequency as true police radar? I am looking for a new detector, and that feature alone would be wonderful. I dont care about gps and all that, which seems to be the only major technilogical breakthrough in sub-$400 detectors in the last few years.

I Need Radar detecter Opinions
I know a number of people who own and swear by Valentine detectors. I run an inexpensive Cobra...it works well enough for me so far...and it has saved me many times... I had to mess with it to fix the volume (soldered a bridge so it is always loud, the sound was getting scratchy before I did that), and lately, the LCD has stopped working most of the time. Considering it is 6+ years old, I've gotten my money's worth... Slowing down...? ehh...

Shot up street signs
Does this count? It was signed by everyone from Running With Scissors, the guys who make the Postal series of games. This one was shot up during the press day they had prior to releasing Postal2, now hanging up in my office. I was so disappointed I was unable to get down to Arizona for some free Class 3 fun

What are those gray bags shooters have on hip - in USPSA meets?
You may be talking about a 'mag dump pouch' or something called a 'breacher pouch' - I've never been to a USPSA match, so I can't say for certain. I do airsoft, and use both of those items for retaining spent mags. I absolutely love my Blackwater breacher pouch. I'm still pissed at myself for only buying one when they were $15. I know Uncle Mikes makes a breacher pouch as well. https://www.google.com/search?q=mag+dump+pouch (use image search to see if that's what you're talking about) http://www.opticsplanet.com/dump-breacher-pouch.html (Out of stock, but this is my preferred dump pouch now) Hope this helps or gets you started in the right direction....

Glock 23 VS Glock 19
I've got a Gen 4 Glock 23, so I guess that tells you what I'd vote. I wanted a .40, I already own two 9mm Sigs. To be honest, the Glocks in 9mm don't interest me all that much. I want a Glock 20 and a 21, so I'll eventually get those as well, but the only 9mm Glock I really want would be the G18 If you haven't got any 9mm, then maybe the 19 is a good gun, the extra capacity is a plus....but I believe you can use a G22 mag in the G23 so there's 15 right there. As others mentioned, you can always do different barrels, and get a .40, .357sig, 9mm, and I'm assuming .22LR. I'm happy with my Gen4 G23...but all this said...I'll own a lot more Sigs than Glocks when I'm "done" buying guns... "Done" ...HAH!

Russian 7.62x54r 440rd Can 89.95-BAD DEAL!!!!!
I even cleared my cart and started again. And then tried it in Internet Explorer just to verify it's not Firefox... Unless it just has something against my town... NBD...I can hold off (and probably should...) If it were like $15-20 shipping, I'd have already ordered... I just wanna have more than 80-100 rounds for the Mosin around here...

Russian 7.62x54r 440rd Can 89.95-BAD DEAL!!!!!
Something is very strange or they are totally raping people... When you first posted this, came out to $43.26 for a single case. Two cases were somewhere around $65...forget exactly how much. I went and double checked shipping cost a second ago....now telling me $72.51 for shipping for one case...$109.90 for two cases...

Russian 7.62x54r 440rd Can 89.95-BAD DEAL!!!!!

Chest rigs, plate carriers and 'war belts'
I have some Condor pouches that are still working as they should, most of which are 4 to 5 years old and take whatever 'abuse' I have given them over as many years worth of airsofting... I'd say for limited use gear, Condor probably is one of the better 'values.' If it will see a lot of heavy use....might wanna get something a bit sturdier... You can probably always sell it off later to an airsofter if you dislike it or want to upgrade. Think about looking online for used stuff from better manufacturers. I bought some used Tactical Tailor stuff for less than the price I paid for new Condor stuff, and the quality of the TT stuff is certainly higher...

What's your choice for a HD shotgun and why?
Benelli Supernova, open rifle sights, fixed stock with pistol grip, Nordic +2(+3 with certain shells), generic shell holder on the stock, Olight M20 flashlight mounted under the magazine tube. Always loaded up with some 00 buck, with a few spare shells on the stock...some 3 1/2" 00buck and some 2 3/4" slugs I will eventually get a 590A1 and 870P and maybe a Nova to round out the collection....

Natchez. 22LR in stock
I've run the SuperHyperUltraMaximum velocity Agulia through a few different guns - both the plated round nose and the hollow point. Almost all my guns like Agulia. Only gun I've had issues with 1600+fps ammo is a S&W 22A, and it doesn't like CCI Stingers or the Agulia HyperMaximumInsaneUltraFast rounds. Strangely enough, it loves Golden Bullets.... Anyway, the only thing I will say about the Agulia HyperSuperMaximumUltraBestestFastest ammo is it has a distinctive, slightly unpleasant smell when shooting...reminds me of superglue a little. Shooting it indoors or in a poorly vented area might get old. The Agulia worked fine in my: Henry H001 Sig Mosquito Marlin XT22 and 25N GSG522SD I've heard that the Agulia conforms better to (SAAMI?) standards for .22LR than say the CCI Stingers, so it may function better in certain guns... Also, for what it's worth, I've also shot Agulia centerfire rounds and been pleasantly pleased, especially for the price. I always scoffed at Agulia, but after using their stuff, I am completely convinced they make good stuff. I will happily run their ammo in the future...if I ever can find more....

Any opinions on an Escort tactical?
Just FYI, you can get a Benelli Supernova with open rifle sights and pistol grip full stock for $450...or at least used to be able to....dunno current pricing exactly. Semi-auto Benellis are another story.... I've seen used Benelli Novas for $350-400 locally as well...

Discrete, non-menacing EDC?
For non-threatening knives, consider the Spyderco or Byrd Rescue models. These have sheepsfoot blades, so they have a flat blade profile with the spine that curves down to the blade. These are used for safely cutting a patient's clothing with little risk of hurting the patient. There are two Rescue models - the Rescue 79, and Rescue 93, referring to blade length in mm. There are also a few models of the Spyderco Salt series with the sheepsfoot blade. A Spyderco Assist has NO pointy tip, so hard to argue it's much of a weapon. For smaller knives that aren't threatening, also look into the Spyderco Ladybug, Manbug, Jester, Dragonfly, Rookie, Delica, and Native. I've handed a cop a Ladybug knife when he needed to get into a bunch of boxes during an event I was covering...was not an issue... Also totally non-threatening, there are a few Leatherman tools that are worth looking at, like the Super Tool. Cheap knives have cheap steel...so be aware of cheap knives...if it doesn't list the blade steel....I'd be a little worried. I'd much rather have a AUS-6, AUS-8, 8Cr13MoV, VG10, CPMS30V, ATS-34, ATS-55, N690Co, or H1 blade steel over almost any 400 series stainless steels for a general use knife. The first three steels I listed here are available in knives under $30-35. The rest are available in knives around $45-60. Some companies have $50+ knives that still have crap steel...
