thats a great store for targets.. ill be keeping them in mind when its time to get more

seriously though.. minimum of 3-4 mags for each semi auto handgun and probably a minimum of 5+ for each semi auto rifle.. that is, of course, if you can find them at any semblance of a reasonable price.. some of the prices for mags are crazy high, especially for less common guns.. i currently have 4 for my CZ 75B, 6 for my M&P 22 and 6 for my M&P 15-22 (shottie and revolver dont count, but i would definitely invest in either speed loaders or quick strips for a revolver).. would love to get more of each, and will over time, but $$ dictates how many i can get...

one of the most hideous things ive ever seen

i read enough poor reviews on the mosquito prior to buying my dedicated 22 pistol.. sounds like i made the right choice, ended up going with a S&W M&P22.. I think i've put about 700+ rounds through thus far with no real issues.. been using a combo of mini mags, fiocchi 22 and fed HP ammo.. each brand has worked great thus far. slightly larger than the mosquito, but same basic size as their standard M&P centerfire counterparts.

check out Ammo to Go.. they have quite a bit of 12ga ammo.. i bought most of mine from there.. http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/index.php they have some fiocchi low recoil slug (and a bunch of other stuff).. unless you arent looking for low recoil of course,, heh

i wouldnt necessarily cancel the order, i would just get some buck or slug separately (unless its a money thing, which i totally get).. target/birdshot is always cheaper than buck, but you cant probably get some low recoil slug at not a horrible price.. you wont be shooting tons of rounds at BA anyway (IMO).. oh, and by slug, i mean rifled slug, NOT sabot slug.. those are way more..

you can't use these shells at Brick Armory. they only allow slugs and buckshot, no target loads or birdshot (too much scatter)..

i like the dirty bird targets.. (not exactly paper though) http://www.midwayusa.com/product/655046/birchwood-casey-dirty-bird-bc27-12-x-18-target-package-of-8

Thank God I dont have TPMS in my car.. They started using them the model year after mine.. I hate it, especially since Im good with checking my tires consistently..

i have to get myself one of those Generac portables as well.. was thinking of the same one Alec was asking about.. my biggest issue is going to be the water pump..not sure how to make that work with the portable.. plus, its a big initial power draw when it kicks on - lights dim briefly when it kicks on (and it kicks on quite a bit)

this is why i stay at about 70 or 71 (in a 65) on cruise control most of the time. i only go faster to pass someone going slower to me while im in the right lane and then i get back over one of my biggest peeves is the a$$hole that wants to go 65 and then you pull out to pass him going 70 (on cruise, mind you) and all of a sudden you cant get past him because he's decided to speed up and not let you pass... and that happens EVERY single day, at least 2-3 times a day on my commute.

you mean other than being married for 12 years? mm hmm... lol

Just out of curiosity, why would the spouse "all of a sudden decide" that she doesnt want guns in the house? I dont know your particular situation, but wouldn't she have known you had firearms PRIOR to you getting married? (or if you started after you were married, I might have thought that she would have known that you were going to have guns once you started shooting).. just seems strange for someone to all of a sudden decide that... (but again, dont know your particular situation)

this.. minus reading a novel and replace that with "watching moves and/or TV shows"..

this seems like the answer... from what i have seen (and not in any technical knowledge of either of these revolvers), the Smiths are just a TINY bit nicer looking, but (IMO only) not better enough looking to spend the extra $150 on it.. I shot a GP100 and it felt pretty nice. They are both solid guns and both will typically last longer than you do if cared for properly... i wouldnt hesitate to get either one (in the 4") if i was in the market for a revolver you really do need to shoot them both to come to a true decision though.. (and Bob was right, dont go by the grips, as those are swappable.. my 640 felt way too small until I swapped the standard grips for some hogue monogrips, now it feels MUCH nicer in my hand)..

better yet, why would you bother on a 15-22? (just curious).. is it just the look?

you are correct from what i know as well...

yeah, im interested to see what it looks like finished.. its just up route 9 from me as well.. gotta chat with the owner soon anyway... (like maybe next weekend)

i know a little about it.. that is to say, i know one of the co-owners of it.. been in planning for months and will ultimately NOT be their final store location, but will be for now... was actually originally supposed to be open mid-october.. there is something much much bigger planned, but remains to be seen if it comes to fruition

i have an interesting dichotomy in my family.. my father is a very pro-gun person (he has several). my oldest sister has gotten into shooting when she goes to visit him (she's in OH and he's in NY).. my mother is decidedly anti.. (note my parents arent together, my father is re-married to my step mother who started out as a "somewhat anti" but has come around).. my other sister is pretty much anti, but her son (who is only 6) is being taught about guns by my father, much to my sisters chagrin.. and then there is me (obviously into guns).. is this so much of a split normal? just curious

decent enough deal.. they typically only go as low as $135 or $140 but normally $150.. (i got mine for like $147 or something)...

deosnt seem to be the case these days, now does it? Idiocracy is getting closer and closer

im pretty sure the OP was simply asking is anyone knew a way to run a more thorough background check on someone. LEO's, if possible, could help out a fellow gun enthusiast by possibly offering their services to run a check for him if necessary. (i know, its a big ask, and improper use of police equipment/services), but maybe I am reading something different into the OP than what was said... i will certainly not debate the OP on this, as I do not have children so I dont have to make that kind of decision. Daycares have their place. Nannies have their place. I think this thread has started to go off-topic a bit.

Happy Thanksgiving and Hanukah (if celebrated) to all! Be safe & smart if traveling.

on my MP22, i have Dawson green rear and red front.. contrast seems nice and easy enough to see.. i had the same thought initially, to change the front to green immediately, but once i shot it with the red front, i decided i didnt need to..
