I am in Missouri and tied to Columbia because my folks, who thankfully, are still alive. But when they go we could end up anywhere...but this is a gun friendly state, conservative except for the cities (where I, sadly, live) and reasonable in terms of cost of living. I would miss the change of...

Agreed. Cheap ammo is a thing of the past...well, AS cheap. Shooting sports are still a pretty affordable hobby compared to many others. Build an engine in the 90's? Look at the prices now. I don't golf, but I know some that do that always kibitz about the price nowadays. Skiing? Boating? Ammo...

Correct again! That is why I never dicker on the sticker price of a gun. Me my buddies go in once a week to all the gun and pawn shops then grab lunch. I rarely buy, but I am in there a lot. They have overhead, so instead of trying to beat them down on the price I pay it and call it the "Gunshop...

Correct. We are saying the same thing. Glock Blue Label dealers have to not only hit those sales levels, what I was commenting on was that most dealers that hit that level don't mess with being a Blue Label Dealer because Glock basically expects them to volunteer their time to order, stock...

Right...but the dealers cut is so low because of the discount given to the customer that most dealers, at least in smaller cities, don't even offer the program at all.

Blue Label purchase Glocks leave VERY little margin for dealers. Most dealers don't even offer that service since they have to jump thru hoops to even qualify. Most shops stop at the Glock Stocking Dealer or Glock Dealer Development Program level.

I am with Bassbob here. Optics yes, weapon mounted light never. Remember, I am not a cop. Lights work both ways, and surprise, bad guys are smart enough to shoot at the light. I am not comfortable pointing a loaded gun at an object I am trying to illuminate. Your mileage may vary. But I can...

A Zippo! I carried one for years while single, which was back when women smoked. Because after all, "A lady never lights her own cigarette". Shocking how often this small gesture was a conversation starter....

I, as Winston Churchill proclaimed, chose my parents wisely. Old man turned 85 last year, still hits the gym three days a week. Here he is on his 85th birthday; we went fishing together. My Long Suffering Mother as she as known by my friends is still in good shape too...good enough I am afraid...

I miss living in the country. Steel shooting from the back deck for handguns, and an 800 yard rifle range. Someday we will move back to the wilderness...and I will construct a proper bunker!

Yeah, that was during the era of the quad rail phase and I flat hated those. I am not much for adding a lot to the rifle, so this handguard really worked well for me. I can still add little sections of rail if I want to run a bipod or anything. Mostly looking for a lightweight, accurate AR since...

Shelby, I have a Comp M4 on my Daniel Defense LW and like it a lot. Huge fan of the 16 inch barrel with a mid length gas tube as it really does seem to run smoother than a carbine length. I guess like a lot of guys I balk at spending more on the optic than the rifle, but at the end of the day I...

You really are an enabler! I love 22 rimfire understudy guns. Still need to practice with real recoil, but muscle memory can come thru at the bargain price of bricks of rimfire.

I learned it from a line cop...slipped in a dummy when loading the revolver so it was a complete surprise to me. Valuable training aid to spot the flinch and address it.

I like the Holosun green dot...after a Trijicon Glock 19 since about 2009 or 2010 a couple of years ago I got wooed over to the SIG P365 with a Holosun 507 with the green circle dot. It is so compact and I like the manual safety. After so much time with the Ruger Standard Model 22 and the 1911...

Elk is my favorite wild game hands down. KillerFord, those look fantastic!

Well, this thread is both good news and bad news. As I suspected! So the scheming begins...how can I spin it so SHE needs the MP 5 clone....

Are the Turkish mags good to go?

You are not helping! You are supposed to say they are junk and I should not buy one...well, ok, that was my wife talking. I clearly need one of these.

My wife laughs because my pants weigh pounds.
