I don’t know if the prices will ever get back to pre panic levels. The way inflation is headed I am not sure the price of anything is going down. Ever.

I keep a clear bag with a double ended zipper on it folded up under my work area. ( I believe a bed spread came in it ) If I think things might go flying….

When I list anything to Armslist or Craigslist, I use a app phone number. If you have a smart phone, their are several apps that give you a different phone number for calls and text. TextFree and textnow are the ones that I have used. If you start getting a lot of spam calls on the app number...

Take a look at Wish.com. Almost Everything there is Counterfeit. That “Zeiss” scope is about $100. You can find “Trijicon rmr’s” on there for $40. The same for high end name brand knives. I go there not to buy things (I have never bought anything from them), but to learn how to spot fakes...

I bought a 100 round value pack of Remington 9mm. I got 50 rounds of 9mm and 50 rounds of.380. I had a 380 then, so it worked out to my advantage

We had one lgs here that was very hard to deal with. They didn’t have a website. And half the time, they didn’t answer the phone when they were there. Then their was the owner. If you went there looking for a pistol, he would try to sell you a 1911. No matter what you said you were looking for...

I have never lost a gun out of my pocket (so far). But I walked into a restroom of a mall about 3 years ago and saw a Glock 19 magazine laying behind the toilet. I took it to the information desk for the mall. When I told them what I had found, they told me that they didn’t accept anything...

Not quite. It means $.20 per round. These were government contract overruns. (Brass has dated head stamp)

I shoot 124 grain +p gold dots. Like other people in this thread, I found it in bulk cheap before the current craziness. So I have shot enough of it to confirm reliability and accuracy in my carry gun. And that means more than any differences in jhp bullet performance between different brands.

I would love to see new Marlin lever action rifles again. But who knows what Ruger has in mind. Marlin could end up being a firearms accessories brand for all we know.

I will throw one in a friend of mine did. He had a old Grendel p12 .380 pistol. If you know anything about those guns, you know that the hammer spring is a flawed design and they are no longer available. It is a flat ‘clockwork’ spring. So he goes to a local place that repairs old clocks. They...

I had a FIE 25 acp pistol that I got as boot on a trade. The second round that I ever fired through it bent the firing pin. I ended up bending the firing pin back as close as I could and chucking it into a drill and spinning it against a piece of sandpaper till it was true. The funny thing about...

No kabooms, but I witnessed a Jennings 9 go full auto. (firing pin stuck) The back story. My brother in law bought it out of a pawn shop when he was in college and delivering pizza. This was probably 1997. It was his first gun. He knew then that it wasn’t a great gun, but it served the purpose...

As I understand it, the shortage of ammunition is being driven by a shortage of primers. Tulammo makes their own primers, so the 7.62x39 is available when most other things are gone.

It depends on the kid. Period. I don’t have any kids, but I do have a bunch of nieces and nephews. A couple of them I would have had no problem teaching the basics of defense at 11 or 12 years old. A couple of them, I don’t know that I would ever try more than basic gun safety at any age.

Back before I discovered armslist I used Craigslist. My normal thing was to list the holster for the gun I was selling. Several local people were doing the same thing. So you would just go on Craigslist and search for holsters. After armslist that pretty much stopped. I could see it making a...

Now armslist is showing “temporarily unavailable”.

I tried to log into armslist just now and got a security warning from my web browser. (Expired certificate). So we may be looking at a hack.

RG 14 22lr revolver. Got it as boot on a trade, and owned it for over a year thinking it was a single action only. Double action required two fingers. I ended up giving it to my old high school coach who used it as a starter pistol

CZ-75. It fits my hand, points naturally and is reliable.
