From their own terms: So, in fact, retailers using their site can offer (and Ammoseek accepts) commissions based on existing 3rd party affiliate program links in lieu of their monthly fee, so long as the commission is higher than the monthly fee. Option 4 also gives them that ability because...

I have experience in building the API integrations for these eCommerce sites, and very often their Terms give very high level descriptions of what they can do, but the actual integrations behind the scenes include much, much more data that's covered in the broad Terms terms.

Are you a vendor? Otherwise how, exactly, do you know this vs. just believe it to be true?

All of that is web-trackable, and if the person makes a purchase they get a piece. This isn't rocket science. Referral links and aggregators have been a business model for decades.

1/ That's a commission - it's just a per-click commission. 2/ They'd know what listing the user was clicking on to get to the site, e.g. Remington 115gr Golden Sabre, etc.

If they're tracking referrals and getting paid a commission when they buy, they can infer it.

S&W Bodyguard, etc. for .380 popularity. P365 .380. As for the Tokarev? Lots of Tok pistols showing up on the market as imports and it's a very, very fun round.

The Prodigy is competitive in the 2011-style space. The Echelon is competitive in the USPSA/IDPA space, both comped and non-comped. That market is so relatively small I don't think it's a focus, but Julie Golob and Rob Leatham are on their team and knocking out wins:

Glock has their own matches. SIG has their own matches. S&W just started S&W Academy for training. Springfield Armory needs to step up. :)

GSSF is fun and quick and a great introduction to competitive shooting. It's equivalent to Steel Challenge, but on paper.

Nobody said it was a problem. I said that 9mm had less felt recoil. That's mathematically demonstrable... and it's why shooters in competitive sports look to use the lowest recoiling round allowed in their sport.

No, it's the current "cool" thing because of effectiveness, capacity and lower felt recoil. It doesn't hurt that it's also cheap because it's mass-produced.

Two of the three done: Waiting on replacement parts for the P220 - having to change out the hammer to get to the new style hammer strut.

Grain weight doesn't determine recoil strength - powder charge does. Typically, heavier bullets have more of a "push" recoil because there's less powder, and smaller bullets have a little more of a snap because there's more powder. Grain weight affects the recoil impulse and how it's...

I've got three SIG P-series guns I'm rehabbing. All auction/gunbroker buys (damn you GT Distributors!). P226, P229 and P220. They're all disassembled - they'll get a good cleaning then I'm going to touch up the frames and slides with chemicals (bluing, blackening), but first I spent the night...
