I get it, Levi's is bad. but I have to be careful who I boycott. Like it was written, we could be living naked in a cave. we all have a cell phone and I'm sure most here have a laptop or tablet. Do you know where lithium for the batteries comes from? and most jeans are made in sweatshops overseas BECAUSE we don't want to pay for them made in USA. trade offs in everything unfortunately

I own a Firestar in .45 and one on 9mm. This is my second .45 and neither has ever failed. It doesn't matter if you like them or not. I didn't buy them for you. By the same token, what I think of someone else's choice shouldn't matter. If it fits you and functions that's all that matters. So yeah, put it back up, I want to read it too. We're all adults aren't we?

sorry, that came out really bad. this isjust my opinion and decision and should not be taken as advice

I tried to avoid wally world because of their predatory practice of destroying the competition then lowering their selection. Then they began political statements, last year they pulled pistol ammo. this year? walmart is dead to me.

did we have the same mother? toughskins were the worst

Wore Levis and nothing else until they went overseas with production. Switched to Wrangler because they were made in U.S.A. Now just something cheap I can fit my fat a$$ into. I no longer do labor, had to take a desk due to my back so I can't speak to sturdiness. Overalls are comfortable, have to agree. good ones are hard to find now since wally world ran good retailers out of business. GREG, is macon dept store still in business?

how is it working?

So with the cost of ammo and having to go to an indoor range amid this virus. I'm considering investing in one of the dry fire laser target systems. Just wondering if anyone has bought or used any of these yet? thoughts? experience?

I'm really stubborn. When they get mine,,,I won't need them any more and will probably be out of ammo so no big loss.

That is why I only have 3 lightweight pistols, one .22 one in .25 acp and one in .32 acp the 22 is Ruger SR22, mid size, lightweight, just a joy to shoot. The SCCY in .380 should be manageable.

(so do I) Motorcycles, fast cars, you know.

welcome to TGO. Brother you have EXPENSIVE habits.

to be honest, I prefer Federal for everything with the exception of 30-30 where Federal comes in 2nd. I have been pushed to Winchester white box for FMJ .45 ACP. Still have over 80 rds of hydra-shock loaded up.

panic makes people stupid. I don't care what the "experts" say, I won't use steel cased ammo. I haven't SEEN Wolf brass case, so, non-starter.

welcome. hope you enjoy Tennessee and TGO

AND,,,the silver lining to 2020 is my wife actually encouraged my firearms purchases.

If you know the lineage of SCCY they are high quality and dependable. I have a Kel Tec P32 and it goes with me everywhere with no concern for failure. Correct me if I'm wrong guys but same designer.

WOW! 10 round bags, what would one do with only 10 rounds? I half agree with hipower, too old and fat to stand in line. But I'm not selling, never again. Every time I sell a gun I regret it,,,except once. Little single action .22 six gun, cheap used out of time piece of crap would burn your hand every round it was so bad.

I went to Academy Sports today. Found UpLula in stock for $29.99 +tax. Just tried it and it is most assuredly worth the money.

Like I said, I sympathize with new owners trying to build a supply. I bought a .300 Blackout a few months back and still trying to build that. But I will buy at reasonable prices. Even bought a different caliber pistol in case my preferred caliber wasn't available. Thought I had things covered with reloading equipment but I didn't get the needed primers so my press is dusty. Live and learn. I have enough ammo, I just can't shoot because it isn't readily available to replace what I burn.

Cross posting this to long guns. we have hundreds of thousands of new gun owners in the US. They are panic buying ammo to go with panic bought firearms. I understand their panic, I even sympathize. But I refuse to join the folly. I looked at ammo today on GB and found 30-30 that I bought two months ago for $16 a box bid to over $80. For a box of 20? really? I would like to have a better stash but I have what I need. Stop feeding these speculators who are cutting off our supply only to try to gouge us. where do you think they are buying theirs? when they stop selling because we stop buying from them the ammo will return to the shelves where it was destined to be.

obviously I have ZERO experience with these. because of that I will buy the UpLula since it is proven. Might not be bad to drop $20 on the copy but if you've never seen or used the original how will you ever know? One of us needs to bite the bullet (pun intended) and try both. My budget is too tight to spare 20 extra LOL

Just got two new mags in the mail today and struggled to get the last wo rounds in both. I will be ordering the UpLula.

I'm just surprised no one got angry. Nice to have a civil discussion about history.
