My friend also has the beretta I have been trying to talk him into meeting at the range to try it out. Thanks,

Headin up to RTSP tonight to do some shooting... Not sure if her friend is coming again with some of his 9's but we should be there sometime between 6-8. Thanks for all of the opinions but like it was just said Practice practice practice.. we are both joining Cherry ridge too and plan on shooting together so this way we can get better in general.

Not worth it for just 50 rounds once you add in the shipping.. if you can get other items definatly go for it.

Same e-mail here... funny thing is when I ordered this I also ordered some 9mm and when the 9 shipped they charged me the full amount for both items...So technically I have already paid in full for these. I planed on waiting for it anyways so I do not mind as long as they eventually show up.

I just picked up a brick of the cci standard for $40 as well as 3 boxes of 9mm blazer brass for $16 each

I am not a big fan of Dicks either however they have ammo every week and do not price goudge.. I have picked up 2000 rounds at dicks over the last month for a third of what my local FFL is charging if and when they get in ammo.. Example FFL golden bullets $55 per brick vs dicks @ $24 per brick... Wether you like Dicks or not getting ammo right now and continuing to shoot vs going broke and not getting any. I will go continue to purchase at Dicks until things start getting better then go back to the local guys once their pricing come back to reasonable levels.

I do not think the bolt locked back on those older MK1's on the MK3's there is a lever on the left side right above the trigger to hold the bolt open and I do not see that on yours. Hopefully someone with more experience with the older rugers will chime in to confirm.

Nice, I picked up 2 boxes of standard velocity last month when I got my ruger and just got a box of mini mags yesterday Thanks for the link.

We had a chance to meet up with her coworker the other day up at RTSP. Started out warming up with the 22's and for some reason she was all over the place with her SR for some reason... but after a while her coworker pulled out his 2 guns first up was the XD9 She did alright with this one right away kept the grouping pretty tight minus a few strays only had time for 15 rounds on this gun. Then the second gun he pulled out was a PPQ. I tried this 1st and man my 1st shot perfect bulleye with the follow ups within a 2" group. Now for my wifes turn at first she shoot a little worse then the XD as far as grouping however on her second mag she pulled in the grouping a little better. Overall she had no problems shooting either gun hitting the target at 7 meters. using an old style 50yd slowfire target. She still wants to try a few more guns for comparison. She liked the recoil a little better on the XD but she thought the snapier PPQ felt really good as well. If it were for me I would run out and get the PPQ but since its for her I want her to try some more out hopefully she will pick out something other then the PPQ because after shooting it i may just have to get one for me LOL.

The 1000 box of winchester? also what time in the morning did you order?

Ammo is also out there DO not buy from these guys selling it at inflated prices. I have managed to get approx 3000 rounds of 22lr since febuary and the most I paid was .075 per round still high compaired to months ago but cheap compared to the price gougers out there. 9mm I have not been so lucky but I have bought a few boxes to keep shooting at approx .30 a round.

Always a good time there and great service, I will be there around 6 tonight.

<p>Kentucky gun company shows them in stock at $405 shipped. I used them for my MK3 stainless when I could not find one local and I had a good experience with using them.. FYI they do charge an extra 3% for CC orders.</p> <p> </p> <p>Just make sure you have a FFL lined up on this end that does not charge too much use the cheatsheet in the othe subforum. My dealer only charged me $30 plus NICS</p>

I actually got lucky with the ss one I just bought it literally falls apart when I pull the pin out and the mag also shoots right out no problems with the disconector at all. It came apart so easily I was worried something was wrong and went though the whole gun making sure it was actually tight when together. This gun shoots great and can be very acurate depending on ammo. With the fed bulk I was scattering around the target but with some agula Eley my grouping was very tight for a newby with handguns..LOL. Also there seems to be alot of threads over on rimfire centeral about the stovepiping being caused by the loaded chamber indicator as well.

I had ordered 9mm and the winchester 22lr that morning and to my surprise the 9mm showed up at my doorstep yesterday so i still have my hopes up that 22 will show up at some point.. Ohh and my backorder e-mail had stated the 9mm would not come in until 7/23 so I got it 2 months earlier then the backorder stated. Here's hoping the 22 will be similar if not no big deal I have about a month and a half supply right now anyhow.

It probably also depends on the FFL and if they know you or not. I had gone into RTSP with my wife and rented some 22's one night just to try out handguns since all of my experience growing up was with long guns. We had a great night and had already put in for permits and struck up some conversations while waiting for our radge time with some of the employee's. A few weeks later my permits had come in (my wife applied about 2 weeks after me) and I had stopped into RTSP and saw they had gotten in a few SR-22's that my wife really enjoyed. So I spoke to them and they no problems with her buying the gun even though her permits were not in yet. I did mention she already had her FID and that my permits were already in and hers should only be about a week behind at that point. So they let us buy the gun and we used it on their range later in the week. They were very accomidating there, However who knows if you get the same treatment if you are just calling on the phone or going into a store and talking to someone whom you had already done business with.

I was supposed to go upstate this weekend with some friends that have property up there and do some handgun shooting and shotgun skeet in their backyard. With all of the new laws and safe act. Forget it not worth the risk. Not bringing the guns plus at this point I am not even going to go.

This video

Someone should link to the video thats was posted yesterday showing the family getting broken into and running out of rounds. it may help wake some people up.

Although doesn't the shorter barrels of the compacts have more Kick then the longer barrels or is that more pronuced in the revolver world?

Very correct ultimately it is all her decision. Also like Brucin said up above a happy wife keeps me happy. My wife however is not one to research or look into anything, So my job is usually to do all of the research and then give her options to chose from. This way she makes the desicions and I help give her input Win Win.. Right now the M&P 9 is definately onthe list too many reviews not to like it. Not sure which version her coworker has but we'll have to look at the fullsized, shield, and compact. SR9 full and compact. Glock 19. CZ75(not sure were I might find this though)

Small to medium budget I would perfer under $500 but if the guns fits so to speak the budget will have to go up. Yes I know I can renew the one time hoping not to have to deal with that but not a big deal if we need too. My wife is taller then average 5ft 9 so her hands are pretty average maybe slighty longer fingers, I think she takes med/lg on gloves, not really sure though..LOL Also I forgot to mention she's a lefty as well.. Also one of her coworkers has a M&P 9 not sure which version so hopefully we will get a change to meet up with them sometime to try that one out without having to rent it.

<p>Hey guys, Unfortunatly since we live in the WONDERFULL (sarcasim) state and we have to deal with these long P2P waits and Nics waits. I need to start looking at 9mm for my wife. We just recently got into handguns and had a couple of opportunitys to shoot some various 22's and an H&K .40 which had a little too much kick for her liking. She ended up purchasing a sr22 for her first handgun and so far she really likes it although we have barely put over 150 rds though it.</p> <p>Now she she picked this up last week we need to start looking at 9mm so that next month can can purchase one and have enough time for Nics to clear before her second permit expires. So the real question is what 9mm so we put on the too look at list unfortunatly based on her enjoying the sr22? We plan on trying these out at either RTSP or someone suggested Pocono pistol. But we may only get 1 or 2 chances to try before we buy, since its hard to get to a range more than every other week due to kids and other life things.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Wolfjon</p>

My wifes just came in today submitted 5-1 at night RTSP and came in today 5-16.

Thanks guys.
