I see a lot of people selling guns with really low round counts >200. How the hell do they do it! I went to the range yesterday with my friend (his first time shooting) and we were there for about 45 minutes. We went through 240 rounds of 9mm like they were potato chips. Only stopped shooting because we ran out! How do you guys manage your ammo?

I think I saw you at Otto's yesterday. I suggest you look at the Baby Eagle II they had there in .45. It's a 3.9" barrel and the grip is quite comfortable. Price was reasonable and the gun has some weight to it so there won't be a lot of kick either. I plan on getting a BE/Jericho myself I just can't decide between the .45 or the 9mm.

Stopped by there today. Two beautiful sub-$500 ITALIAN 92's in the case. If my 30 days were up I'd have bought one on the spot. Also had the mythical Jericho 941 (chambered in .45 alas). Will definitely be back there as they were very friendly and had a great stock. Didn't see the Glock 30 or 32, but I also got to handle the FNX-40 and I did like that.

It's worse on guns IMO. How the hell did an FNP go from $350 in November to over $500 when I'm actually considering grabbing one!

Did they have the Home Defense model (no pistol grip?) I'd buy one on the spot!

don't mean to threadjack, but will RTSP or Otto's let you handle handguns without a P2P? I'm interested in feeling the Glock 32, FNX, and XD..

Why not buy a gun online that you like and have it shipped to your FFL? I did it with my first gun (CZ-75BD Police) and it was the smoothest process ever. I'm going to (most likely have to) do it again as I'm looking for a Jericho 941 and nobody in New Jersey is going to have one in stock. I actually think I prefer buying online. No impulse shopping, you can do more research, and typically much cheaper and no tax.

Do we have a list of all the companies taking a stand? It's difficult to keep up with all these threads. I have P2P's coming in and would like to support companies that support me

If I wanted to buy the CZ Kadet conversion, would I have to have this shipped to an FFL, or can I have it sent to my home? There's a bit more going on with the Kadet kit then just a barrel swap so I'm confused.

I got my 75BD Police off Gunsamerica from Targetmasters in CA. It came with 10rd mags. I bought 15rd mags (el cheapo promags) that work well enough. Locally, I couldn't find any CZ's at the shops I called. Great gun, shoots smooth and anything I feed it, and I can't wait to pick up it's Israeli brother, the Jericho 941.

Even more ambiguous is the ban on ammo that can pierce body armor. That effectively renders 90% of all our guns BANNED. I mean unless we're talking Type III or Type IV body armor, even 9mm can blow straight through body armor

100% positive. The .45 only comes in steel. The 40s&w was 480$ shipped free and the .45 was $515 shipped free. I almost jumped on the 40s&w until I looked at my checking account LOL. I'd prefer the .45 but I've been reading about some issues with it so I think I'll end up going with a full size 9mm once my next p2p comes in. I can always get the .45 later

man buds guns had the .45 and .40s&w in stock for all of 30 seconds at under $500. What were these going for before the scare?

That's a very nice gun but it's way out of my price range. The cheapest one is over $500!

I have three permits coming in. One is specifically reserved for a Jericho 941. The other MIGHT be used on a Hi Power or HK45C. I'm thinking of using the last one for a revolver. What's a good one in the $350 range? I'd like at least a 4" barrel. It's only going to be used at the range. I'd like at least a .38 special, but I'm not a big fan of cowboy looking guns if that helps any. Seems like prices for revolvers REALLY shot up since I last looked (ages ago). How are these Czechpoint revolvers?

I think some polymer guns are cool. I've shot a Glock 19 or 23 I don't remember, and I'm quite fond of the Taurus PT840 to the point where I'd buy one (I was thinking of getting one and a friend let me try his), however I don't think I'd want to own a polymer gun that isn't an HK45. I don't have huge hands, but my CZ-75 fits snugly and I actually find it very light (even though it's considered a heavy gun). I have a feeling I will be perfectly happy with the gun in any of it's calibers though I'd prefer .45, although 9mm seems redundant yet economical since I already have a 9mm. I suppose 41AE barrels are floating around there somewhere...

LOL at the last comment

Was just at OMG customs and asked Ric to let me know if he comes across one at the gun show he's attending. Definitely want it in .45 but a 9mm full frame will make me equally happy. Also bought a K98 Mauser Karabiner while I was there LOL.

These go for 500-$550 all day on gunsamerica

No doubt the 97b is a better gun, I have small hands though and it's quite large for me

If I were to stick with 9mm or 40 and go with the full frame BE, are there the same issues at the .45?

I already have a CZ75BD in 9mm. I like the Tanfoglio, but definitely not in polymer, I just don't want the EXACT same looking gun again. I love the design of the BE/Jericho that's what's making me interested in it. I love that angle towards the business end that slopes down, looks extremely aggressive!

I hate to revive a thread from the dead, but I too am interested in the Baby Eagle .45. If I were to go to a range, what's something I could rent that's about the same size (no chance in hell anyone's going to have one for rental locally) to see if I like a .45 with a 3.9" barrel. I don't think I've ever shot a .45 out of anything that small before.

I recently realized I can buy a Carcano which is really close to home for me (I'm Italian). I know ammo can be a little pricey, but I think this might be more my style than the Steyr. I'd also assume a WWII Carcano is more likely to be in better shape then an m1895. A few on gunsamerica, and I will look around locally too I guess. Not a big fan of in store shopping for anything other than the necessities (food, health products).

He'll probably sign all these bills. He doesn't stand a chance on the national level in 2016 though. My vote then will firmly be for Rand Paul.
