Is the Taurus going to weigh less than 28 oz.? I don't think you are going to find very many 9mm's, 40's or 45's that weigh less than 2 lbs. I have an Ultra CDP II in .45 and can't imagine any way I would want to trade it. I also have a S&W 638 in .38 spec., which makes for a really light weight pocket carry. Good luck, and welcome to TGO.

Maybe they were afraid of the cost to feed you. Before you get too mad, I weigh 250 and 6'1".

.22 CB's, quieter than an air rifle (but not quite in a pistol) and at least as lethal.

Yep that works.

Trying to see if this let's me see pg. 3

I like a .17HMR. Not to loud and it will turn a 20 lb. groundhog for a flip.

John Young Pkwy is in Orlando. Why would you be surprised to here about a Floridian who couldn't drive?

Told you that is what the OBAMA would want to do.

Actually, I think they use high pressure water hoses. Probably works pretty well until a pirate decides to use his AK.

Welcome from a couple of counties away! Don't forget to drop by Hero-Gear to check out the toys.

I'm thinking a UN resolution might be called for.

If you heard it from a clerk in a retail store, I'm certain it must be true.

Maybe the best video I've seen on YouTube.

Dick's on Gunbarrel got about 15 cases of Rem. 230 gr. in today. $17.98/box _ cs price $18.98/box less than case. Only had 1 cs. .40 left, no 9mm, and a little less .45 than they originally had.

Nobody has any opinions on Uselton's ?

I know what you mean, that's enough for a box of .45's. Not the +P's, but good range ammo.

Since I have 3 of the caps (from HG), will I need to buy one of the new ones???

Found this quote on 1911forum.com Pretty accurate as far as the way the big boys do inventory control. The last thing a retailer wants is for any product to sit on the shelve for several months. It's all about turns and operating on other peoples money. A few years ago, supermarkets operated on 24-26 turns a year. Thats turning a stores entire inventory every 2 weeks. Obviously, some items turned much faster and some not quite so fast. If there was a dramatic change either up or down, it could take several weeks/months for the system to stabilize. Does anyone remember when Johnny Carson made a joke about a toilet paper shortage?? Early 70's I think. It created a nationwide run on tp that took many weeks to level out. Then nobody had to buy any for several months due to hordeing. Quote: There is a strong undercurrent of WJB-esque populism on both sides of the political spectrum. Today I got to see it surface when somebody blamed the fat cats for the current ammo shortage: Quote: I think it's the ammo manufacturers taking advantage of a demand side spike to run up prices when they could just as well pump out twice as much ammo and we could all get ammo at the same price we did last year at this time. I had to respond: "No, it's not. I know it's fashionable in America to blame rich people, big business, fat cats, and whatnot for every misfortune (hey, at least we don't blame Jews anymore; we're making progress,) but this shortage is just a natural result of modern business practices. See, once upon a time, it was common for American businesses to produce everything they could. Then they would send it to wholesalers, who would in turn sell to retailers who would buy all of it they could afford. In the days before instantaneous, nearly-free, cross-country communications and three-day coast-to-coast delivery, this made sense. Then in the '70s and '80s, American manufacturers got their butts kicked by the Japanese, led by Toyota, who had made a religion out of Just-In-Time inventory control. Now everybody uses it. Federal Ammunition Co. will look at last year's Q1 business and only order enough components to produce what it thinks it can sell this quarter. The wholesalers will only buy based on what they think they can sell, again based on data from previous years. Same with the retailers. A big enough demand surge at the retail end can suck the pipeline dry all the way back to the component end of the process. If I only sold 10 boxes of .44 Magnum a week at Anytown Firearms, I'd only keep an inventory of 11 or 12 on hand. Those unsold boxes are liabilities, after all; money tied up that's not turning a profit. If somebody comes in and buys all 12 boxes, I'm out 'til next week. If he does that to every store in the area, and we all need to reorder from the same wholesaler to restock our shelves, we'll probably empty the wholesaler's shelves as well. And the wholesaler doesn't get weekly deliveries, he gets monthly deliveries. Meanwhile, since each dealer in Anytown only got an allocated 4 boxes of .44 Magnum, and word has gotten around at the range that there's a .44 Magnum drought, those four boxes are going to fly off the shelf. Now we're stuck until the wholesaler can get more from the manufacturer. Next month. See?" Wow, same exact endpoint, with 99% less conspiracy!

Or, you could just ignore/not respond to threads that are duplicates. I do find the search feature difficult to use effectively.

I used to always change my own. Then I got an Expedition 4wd., which has the filter so well hidden (above axle and back 4 or 5 inches) that even the garage gets a pretty good spill they pull it. Just something about laying on my back and getting old oil dumped in my face that's not as much fun anymore.

You don't have 2 or more cupholders??

They do at the one on Paul Huff Pkwy.

Nice breakdown. I think you probably got the best. Never heard of a problem that Dillon didn't resolve (even if it was not Dillon's fault).

I think this months CoF was 99 rounds. I made it a point to miss one of the steels so I could get in an even 100. Come out and shoot next month. I've only been doing it for a couple of months after watching 2 or 3 times. Besides, I need another chronologicaly challenged shooter to compete with. Chris Weber makes me feel even slower than I am.

Yes, but you can buy some different commerative bottles (full) in the souvenir shop. They do have free lemonade and cookies though.
