Snaveba

You caught that

We measured 5” of snow/sleet on the back deck this afternoon. SW Nashville near Lipscomb. yes I still have Christmas lights up. Made for a nice photo.

The Holosun 507k is very nice on a p356XL. I don’t have an issue with the slightly longer grip.

California, a nice place to visit. But it’s nice to always come back to The Great State (of Tennessee)

Glad to have you aboard.

I hope everyone is staying warm and safe.

Or when we have the extra cash to spend . And right now, with ammo prices going through the roof every where but Academy Sports, I am making it a point to find the extra cash.

Me buying 3 boxes of 50 rounds on seven trips to academy spots is not any different than me buying 1050 rounds on one trip.

I don’t think many folks on the THO are buying up the $1.00/round or more ammo off gunbroker. And when you can only get 2-3 boxes of 50 from Academy Sports, it takes a few trips to get any quantity.

I picked one up from Natchez SS last March for I think about $185 shipped to my house.

If Bonnie was a blond....

I do still like my shield. I will likely put an Apex trigger in it at some point. Just put one in my M&P 2.0 9mm and can’t wait to shoot it. Feels so much smoother with a crisper break and nice reset.

I hope FedEx still runs tomorrow. My new AR is sitting and waiting for a Monday Delivery to my FFL.

Be careful out there. It’s not doing that much in Nashville yet, but there is already a very thin coat of ice on things. Looks wet, but it’s ice. I already slipped once on my driveway.

I started with a Shield 9 1.0 as my EDC but loved the P365 from the first time I held it. However the 2extra rounds were not enough to make me switch. Then the p365 XL came out. With the extra 4 rounds and the ability to mount a red dot, I was sold. It is now my EDC with a Holosun 507K. I carry it appendix in a Total Concealment Tier 1 holster. It is very comfortable. I’m not fat but not skinny. I did have an issue with difficult racking (Which was a documented problem). I found it to be the disconnector not being shaped correctly. I replaced it with one from a P365 (order from Sig) and it fixed the issue). I have not shot a Hellcat.

I remember the $90 box as well. I picked one up for a co-worker. They also had the 200 round boxes of Winchester green tip 5.56 for just under $90 before Christmas. If they have ammo, they always get some 9mm. This was the first I saw 45acp (when I have been there) since before Christmas. First 5.56 as well. They had .223 the Friday before (grabbed 360 rounds). Last Monday was supposedly a good ammo day. Friday they apparently had a good number of 200round packs (I am guessing 50ish) of Winchester 9mm. Unfortunately there were about 35 people in front of me so they not had 50 round boxes left. I’m glad there was some 5.56 left at 9:30. I was probably leaving (silver Expedition) as you came in. I have seen spotty 22LR. But not in a while. I will be curious if they get a truck tonight and if there will be a line tomorrow with the winter storm approaching. Might be a good day to go. Not sure if it is worth my car in a ditch for a possible 400 rounds of 9mm.

WOW!!!!

Well the line is getting longer earlier at the Cool Springs Academy Sports. A couple things to note. Academy Sports had corporately changed their policy to only 2 boxes per person. However they are not limiting the size of the boxes. If they have a 200 or 300 round box, you can get two. Before if one box was 150 rounds or more, the other two boxes had to be less than 150 rounds. They can’t really keep you from going back through the line, although they discourage it. Their prices are creeping up. 9mm was about $0.37 per round today. Last time I was there it was $0.30 per round. Last week .223 was about $0.50 per round. Today 5.56 was $0.60 per round.

Well, I did not win. And I assume none of you all won either.

So I wonder how many folks entered the contest in the 72 hour window the contest was open?

Now I just have to win

So I am planning an AR build. Not too fancy, but I shoot left handed. I would rather not have hot brass flying across in front of my face. I see that Stag Arms sells a left hand eject receiver. Are there other companies make left hand eject receivers? Does that have to be mated with a left handed lower or will it work with any lower? I assume barrels and other parts will work with any receiver. I seek the wisdom of the TGO.

And not in the fun way.

Bernie would probably destroy them.
