Want to stock up on 22. I can stomach paying $25 for a box of 45 at the range, but they want $7 for 50 rounds of 22- where are all these "bulk packs" of 550 rounds for $20 that I hear exist in other parts of the country??

So I live in NYC where it is virtually impossible to buy ammo outside of my range, and their prices are getting kinda stiff. But I'm in Philadelphia on business for a while, and I know PA is a bit more shooter-friendly than NY (to say the least), I thought it might be a good opportunity to...

27 :( it's not my fault, i was raised by antis...

I took my brand new Kimber Custom TLE II to the range for the start of its break-in period yesterday. Started off by stripping it, putting a little oil in a few places, and then put a box of Federal American Eagle 230gr TMJ through it. Not a single failure of any kind, through the stock Kimber...

All the internet talk in the world will not tell you which TRIGGER you like better. To me that is the most important aspect of a gun. Any manual of arms can be learned if you practice and train enough. I loved Glocks until I shot one; something about the trigger safety really just did not...

Seven months of agony dealing with the NYPD for my license! And I still can't even carry it. All I can do is keep it in my home, and transport it cased/locked/unloaded to and from the range. You take what you can get around here. Thanks for the input all. I figured I would give the...

Thanks for the advice and links. I ordered some "slide glide" and added some Hoppe's #9 to my Midway order. Between that and the shooter's choice oil that comes with the kit, I should be set for a first round of cleaning. I guess I might forgo the safe for now. I don't have children, and...

Background: Just got my first pistol this week (Kimber Custom TLE II- love it- pics attached, because pics are fun), and I'm trying to settle on all the "other stuff" I need. Please tell me what you think of my checklist so far, and if you think I forgot anything: 1. Safe: I was originally...

this site is full of odd equivalence... i had someone assume that when i said i was "socially liberal" it meant i was a socialist...

wish i knew some of these people. so far the only one i've heard of is kirstin gillibrand.

i didn't say it was ok, in fact i explicitly said it was stupid...

in a liberal's mind, if you believe that citizens have a right to own firearms for self defense, you are nuts... therefore if you own a gun, you are necessarily a "gun nut"...

ah, you must be one of those people who was never young and never, ever did anything stupid.

depends on how anti-gun she is. my gf says she doesn't want to own a gun, but she sees that i enjoy it and it doesn't bother her. works just fine for us. i can go shoot holes in paper while she gets apple-flavored martinis with her girlfriends. the real friction comes when two people...

i think what he means is you should either explain why this particular item is a viable and comparable alternative to a garand, or re-name the thread "look at my shiny new rifle"
