ONE MILLION rounds of 9mm 115gr FMJ for sale on their website.  They didn't say whether it would be their remanufactured ammo, new ammo, or a mix.  It will be available in 500 round lots.  Their pricing isn't the lowest, but certainly not the highest, either.  Current pricing for 115gr reman is $172.29/500 plus shipping.  New ammo (Starline brass) is listed at $179/500.  Price does not include shipping.  I use their product and have never had an issue with it.  Just thought I'd pass this along.   www.freedommunitions.com    

Yeah, it kinda surprised me, too. :cool:

Thanks, I gave that a look....nothing in there re the Auto-Ordnance product, just the Colt.  Here's some further data:   Removable butt-stock, compensator, fires from open bolt.   Reason I'm asking this is I have a friend who owns this and is looking to sell, but wanted to know what it was worth.

This is an Auto-Ordnance Thompson, built in or around 1975.  It's full-auto and comes with 3 stick mags and one drum.  Any one here have any idea of current market value?

It pops up on GunBot all the time, but you'd better be ready to pay insane prices for most of it.  Anything that pops up that's within reason sells out in a very few minutes.

Due to a new match director taking over this year, HCGC won't be hosting the KY/TN Regionals this year.  We will resume next year.

Forgot to add.......match setup begins around 8am.  New shooters orientation meeting prior to start of match.  Matches start about 9am.

There are 3 different types of reloads in IDPA and all of them can be practiced at home very easily.  There are differences between, say, IPSC and IDPA.  In the former, you're given a problem and told to solve it.  In IDPA you're told the course of fire and HOW you'll shoot it.  At my club, there is a meeting prior to every match where new shooters are given an orientation to IDPA prior to start.  As for the shooting part........practice, practice, practice.  Practice your regular two-handed, strong hand only, and weak hand only.  Normally, you won't have a target farther than about 20 yards.  Most will be closer.

The Henry Co. Gun Club will host it's next match on April 13.  Cost is $15 for non-club members.  Matches are held the second Saturday of the month year 'round.   Club location is near Puryear, TN.  For directions and more info on the club:   www.henrycountygunclub.com 

I shot a lot of Zero ammo and bullets years ago when I was active in PPC matches.  Always accurate and never a problem.  I didn't know they were still in business.

Current bids on gunbroker.com are simply idiotic for 9mm.  Some of the online sites are absolutely ridiculous as well, and I have a growing list of ammo sites that I will never buy from or look at again.  As for current prices, I'd say that .30 a round for 9mm is about as far as I'd go......perhaps a bit more if I were desperate...which I'm not.

  Were you by any chance in the Freedom Munitions store?  A friend of mine was in Texas and went there and picked me up 500 rounds of new mfg and dropped it off yesterday.  They make good stuff.

Use the Sportsman's Guide website and check out the 9mm.  It's ALL out of stock and the expected in-stock dates keep getting pushed back.

Checked GunBroker last week and there was 31 pages of 9mm ammo up for grabs...if you want to pay, that is.  I scored some 9mm Federal at WM last weekend, and a buddy picked me up another 500 rounds while visiting in Texas.  There's ammo out there, but you have to be constantly looking and be there online when it pops up for sale.

I attended Rich Davis' Second Chance Shoot in the early '80's.  He always demonstrated his soft body vest by shooting himself, point blank, in the chest with a .44 mag.  Spooky thing to watch.  That's why I wore a SC vest through my career.

I just got off of gunbroker.com and there's over 31 pages of 9mm up for grabs.  Just outbid everyone else and pay the price.  Then again, you could get lucky.... :pleased:

One TN based ammo dlr had 13 cases of Aguila 124gr 9mm.....at $470 each and I thought THAT was highway robbery, but $800/case??????......$30/box??????....that absolutely staggers my imagination :puke:

I would never buy reloads in a baggie from anyone.  You see a lot of this at gun shows.  I shoot commercial made remans in my G19  from a company in Idaho, and thus far they're as good as factory fresh.

I stopped by our WM a couple of days ago.  Bare shelves as usual.  Snotty wench behind the counter asked me what I wanted, told her 9mm.  She says "Oh we sold it already". :yuck:   I asked her how many boxes they got in, she replied THREE!  Personally, I think there's something rotten here.  I have a hard time believing that they only got three boxes total.  I'm wondering if they unpack the ammo, see what's in there, and call their buddies who come galloping in and buy it up before it hits the shelves?

Just wondering how the show was and if there were any decent bargains to be found.

If my mind hasn't totally clouded over, the S&W shotguns were Japanese made and imported under the Smith brand.  Their Model 1000 was an autoloader, the Model 3000 was a pump.  I owned one of the 3000's in riot configuration and it handled better and was much smoother than my dept's issued 870's.  I had a chance to shoot the 1000 at a writer's seminar in Texas....their "Super Skeet" model that had a ported barrel.  With skeet loads the recoil was almost nil.  It was, IMO, the best skeet shotgun I ever fired.  

You might give this a look.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4maCQhEIjoA&feature=g-vrec

Rather than tell you what to buy, I'll tell you to find a range that rents handguns and give several a try, then buy the one you like best.  The old adage "One man's meat is another's poison" is very true.

  Went to their website and ordered two cases of 9mm 124gr as they were on sale.  Popped back onto their home page and read that they have enough supplies to honor all orders prior to 1/20.  After that.....it's up in the air as to shipping dates.  They show times of from 30 to 75 days.  (I ordered mine on 1/21 so have no idea when it will ship)  Unfortunately their site isn't set up to allow you to check/track your order.  FYI, Freedom Munitions is catching up on their backlog of orders and will be opening up their website to new orders shortly.  I have 500 rounds from them that runs fine in my G19.

Her stance and grip look OK, but she really needs to learn to shoot with both eyes open.
