Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

[James Collins]

I’m trying to nab a new holster any suggestion?

 

[Walkalong]

Gray Ops quick release Arca clamp. Works great, night and day better than the ADM I bought first.

I know they have advantages (when they work), but man, stories like these confirm my faith in sights that dont require batteries......

I don't rely on any firearm for self-defense which ONLY has optical sights, which needs them at normal self-defense engagement ranges.

I've got a dot sight on my AR, but it's co-witnessed with BUIS.

I just put a dot sight on a brand new semi-auto riot gun. At seven yards, I can just use the front sight if necessary.

All of my self-defense handguns have fixed or adjustable iron sights.

All of my bullseye target handguns are dot sight only.

I've honestly had pretty good luck with red-dots, when I don't expect perfection. It is what it is. Even my $30 cheapie is fine, just not what I want on this rifle. Just got a bum one this time around. Aside from the fuzziness, I could make it work if I really wanted.
Blurry dots are to be expected for cheap and with my eyes. They still work close up, but of course I'd demand better if I competed or was fighting in the field or something. And I haven't managed to break one yet.
That said, I'm pretty gentle on my equipment. And I refuse to own something I may consider important without some sort of iron sight on it as well.

Fifty rounds of Estate 12ga. 00 buck and a pound of Unique from Fin, Feather and Fur in Middleburg Heights, Ohio.

I'd have bought a hundred rounds, but they have a two box limit. As far as I can tell, that doesn't differentiate between five, ten and twenty fifty round boxes.

My locally owned big box gun store won't let you buy more than a hundred primers of each type (large pistol, etc.).

It didn't matter when I bought powder Monday. They didn't have the size that I needed anyway.

 

[bcook4321]

Happy to get some magnum pistol primers.

 

[stonebuster]

1000 CCI #500 SPP to pad my supply for reloading on cold winter days.

[Turkeytider]

Another magazine for my Savage 110 Storm in .223 and a bulk pack of cleaning patches. REALLY enjoying shooting this rifle. It`s the only rifle I`ve ever owned ( always a shotgun guy ), just wish I had started rifle shooting earlier in life.

 

[brickeyee]

Two 16 oz cans of "non-aerosol" Ballistol.
Been a long time since I needed more.
Finally finished off the gallon can.

Midwayusa free shipping is costing me. Got 2 lee safety prime for over half off. Gonna try to prime on presses. Wasnt to the 49 for free so added a box of gold dot bullets for my 380 baby browning. Day before I purchased 9 and 45 gold dots and 3 Mtm storage boxes.

 

[Big44mag]

Followed me home yesterday.

Is that a real High Standard or one of the Chinese copies?

It's a High Standard.

Have a stripped Anderson lower on the way.

 

[Atavar]

Micrometer seating plugs for my dies. It is nice being able to avoid that adjust-measure-repeat cycle. Measure once and dial in the change I need.
pardon the messy bench.

 

[tommy.duncan]

Well I didn't "buy" it but I got the free Optic plate for my Springfield XD-M 10mm.

 

[Barry the Bear]

picked up a box of .44 special winchester silvertips from an old man about a week ago. For 10 bucks for (old school) defense ammo I didn't argue the price.

 

[Deus Machina]

And I got my Midwest AK side-mount T1/T2 rail in, and woo am I happy.
Solid craftsmanship, puts my Sig Romeo at exactly the distance I had it mounted on the full rail where I liked it, it has enough free space on the back that I can remove the dust cover, and this is still the only mount I've found that sits low enough that I can actually co-witness the stock AK sights through the optic.
Full endorsement here.

It's a High Standard.

Those things are going for a lot of money on Gunbroker.

 

[Insignificant bill]

Gritted my teeth and bought a brick of Aguilla 22lr

I did that a month ago and have regretted it. The lead is peanut butter soft, lots of FTF’s in my 10-22 as the lead deforms when it hits the feed ramp resulting in “L” shaped rounds.

 

[59WildBill]

Colt Python, 4.24" barrel. 200 rounds 357 magnum ammo.
