Snaveba

I am buying so I can shoot. But I am sure there are some re-sellers. Academy has kept their prices reasonable. I think I have paid between $0.24 and $0.30 per round for 9mm. As long as folks on Gunbroker continue to pay stupid amounts for ammo (near $1.00 per round fir 9mm) people will resell.

I have been somewhat regularly heading to my local Academy Sports (Cool Springs for me) before they open to get in line to by ammo. Before Christmas it was Mon/Wed/Fri for shipments, now it is just Mon/Fri. (Not that I can, or could go every day) There are a number of regulars as well. That got me wondering if anyone else from the TGO was doing the same thing.

Sadly, only my P365xl is optics ready.

I have been trying to practice my more long range pistol shooting. The problem I run into is my age related far-sightedness. I can either wear my glasses and see the sights clearly or not and see the target clearly. It’s not really an issue under 7 yards, but much further and it is an issue. What to the rest of you guys with old eyes do? I will say the red dot does help on that one pistol. The ridicule is actually clear in the lens without my glasses on.

Dang Bill, you really took this down to lower Broadway. (For you younguns, lower Broadway uses to be quite seedy in it day. Not the tourist trap it is now)

I do have the Ruger SR22 I also recently picked up. It shoots great. After the fiasco with the Mosquito, I put 50 flawless rounds through it to end on a good note.

So, this was an itch better left unscratched. I should have just trusted in the wisdom of the TGO, but I really liked the pistol. I really wanted the Mosquito Sport to be a deal, but it was a dud. I took it to the range and tried several different brands and types of ammo. It did not like the Remington HP, CCI HP, CCI Standard Velocity, or the Federal target. I tried both recoil springs. It would missfire, fail to eject, stove pipe, fail to feed, etc. When it did shoot, it was very nice, felt great, but I don’t think I was able to shoot an entire mag without a problem. For the Federal, I had to rack the slide every time to shoot. So, I welcome the “I told you so” comments. I should have listened. If you have one and it works well, I’m a little jealous. I do want to give props to Music City Pawn in Nashville. I use them for my FFL, but this was my first purchase from them. They told me I had 48 hours to check it out and return it. I took it home, gave it a good cleaning and then took it to the range (with the above results). They took it back no questions asked. If you want a good inexpensive FFL, I recommend. They only charge $25 plus the $10 background.

Ha. My BIL was doing research and figured out my dad’s side is related to Robert the Bruce.

Prayers as well

How is its weight as compared to the P365XL? (my EDC)

Is that an Ithaca Model 37?

Now I’m intrigued and want to actually hold one.

No go at Academy sports this morning on the SCCY. They did have a little bit of 9 mm and some 38 special but it’s probably all gone by now.

Yikes

Academy Sports in Cool Springs south of Nashville had at least one SCCY in stock (or at least in the case) last Friday. I will probably head there tomorrow to see if they got an ammo shipment and I will see what it was I saw.

It’s really just a small toy action figure in a pile of 22LR casings

Give a report on the TX22. I almost went with that before I went with the Ruger SR22. I really like how the SR22 shoots.

Been thinking the same thing. Saw these in a gunstore in Dickson last summer and was wondering how good the package could be for that price. My Holosun 507K cost that much on its own.

So what lured you away from the Great State of Tennessee? Glad you’re back.

Hopefully it my daughter’s grand kids asking her about overuse of social media. Then at least the country will be here in 45-50 years.

My first gun as well. Shortly followed by a savage single shot 410.

Marlin Model 60. Got it in 1980 for my 11th Birthday.

I’m sorry for your loss. And now the bubble I have been living in that the first case would help make a second case milder, just burst.
