    ? damaged barrels from walmart ammo??

    I've heard this too and for many years. Only problem is I have purchased The Federal Champion 9mm in the red box from both my LGS and Dick's Sporting Goods and both have the 'WM5199' for the 50 round pack or the 'WM51991' for the 100 round pack. I find it ridiculous that people believe the...

    Shield or Taurus Millennium G2 9mm

    So did you buy one or the other? I looked at both guns too back in November and bought the Taurus Millennium G2 9mm. The feel, price, and capacity made the decision. At the time the G2 was $130 less than the Shield. No regrets so far, couple hundred flawless rounds of all kinds. It's very nice.

    What prices are ya'll seeing?

    That's a great price, that's how it should be priced. But $1 a round for 40S&W? You MUST be talking about the 'self defense' rounds right? The JHP ones that come 20 to 25 rounds to a box?

    What prices are ya'll seeing?

    $350 is overcharging you. Like I've said before, right now is the absolute worst time to be buying any gun. Of course there are still some places that haven't started their price gouging yet (walmart). Maybe $350 was the price last year too, I don't know about your area. In mine, they were...

    What prices are ya'll seeing?

    I hope you're not planing on buying an SDVE for $370. I wouldn't buy anything right now. Most gun stores are price gouging big time right now. Don't let them take advantage of you. SDVE's were $289 a few weeks back. Perfect example: one of my local stores that doesn't have much left in...

    What prices are ya'll seeing?

    Yeah, I'm having flashbacks to a few years ago. No ammo to be found and what did hit the shelf was gone in an hour. A box of 9mm Blazer aluminum was going for $19.99. On December 31st 2012 my local gun store had it on sale for $8.99. That's gone. I hate to see everyone in a panic and...

    My LGS just jacked up the price today from $289 for the SDVE to $329!! YIKES! In fact all the guns jumped up about $30 to $40. WTH??

    My LGS has the new SDVE in 9 and 40 for $299, Sigma's are $279. If the SDVE has the better trigger it's a no brainer.

    New to me 29-6

    I just got a 29-6 with the 8 3/8" barrel, serial # is BUB0XXX, just wondering about the approximate age of the gun. I really don't know anything about the model 29 but thinking this one isn't too old. The 90's?

    How much did you pay for your M&P Shield?

    My local gun shop had these for $379 back when they came out, had them in stock too. Was gonna buy one in .40 but when I went to the store today they had JACKED the price up to $439!!!!! WHAT A CROCK Don't need one so why would I let them screw me over like that. Did not put my name on the...

    .40 cal defense ammo

    The shotshells are useless period, unless you are using them for extremely close shots (a couple feet) to a mouse/snake or something along those lines. My dad bought some out of curiousity in .38 special and put them through a .357 with a 6" barrel. They opened up super quick and didn't do...

    Sigma's "bad rep"

    I think 99% of the Sigma's bad rep comes from the people that don't actually own one. It's just bad info passed along from one person to another. Perfect example of this, I was at my local gun store a few weeks ago and overheard the sales guy trying to talk a customer out of buying a Sigma 9VE...

    More ammo

    I've been buying and shooting PMC ammo for years, it's always been good stuff. "Precision Made Cartridges" Funny though, I never really read the box to see where it was made. I actually have about 10 boxes of PMC right now in various calibers. It's still available where I live in my local...
