The middle one. then black.

ouch!

Just got back from clarksville. the sun really did the roads good today. All highways were clear and secondary roads are in good shape too. My gravel road is still covered but everything esle is passable by just about anything.

I guess it would be different if you were in a dealers shoes. maybe not. I can see the op's point on loosing sales becasue a "required" service couldn't be performed. but hey.. what do I know. that's why I don't have a FFL. that's also why I picked up my new guns on Friday!

lol.. I'm just

So in your mind the cops, fire dept, ambulance drivers, TDOT, should have stayed home too?

I have ordered from two alpha bullet company and was impressed with their quality and prompt delivery.

Agreed! I first heard about the several years ago and thought it to be BS. Now I believe it will happen. and the way things are going.. it'll happen in our lifetime.

I use this and It does allow pictures. I have everything tracked in this software including my ammo. No blue book but you can add your cost and current value as well as pictures. it'll even record sales. been using it for several years now.

Yeah.. $299 delivered to your FFL. Another $35 give or take to transfer to you. then send off the $50 rebate for either $50 or two hi-cap mags. $284 in your hands after rebate. That is the best deal in America today.

There you have it.. the Amero. We are well on the way.

No the op was asking in his price range. you said to save more $$$ to buy something better. Anyway.. were all right in one way or another. this is all good for the Op to better his decision. I could have said to buy a hi-point.. LOL.. I don't knock those either. had several of them too. just wouldn't want to carry one.

maybe there's some good underground gambling going on.

Gee.. and I thought I was the only one who had a bad attitude towrds state employees. Remember the budget talks last year and everyone on the news crying about the possibility of state employees loosing their jobs or maybe some benefits? Oh cry me a river.. State employees have it made. benefits, retirement, blahh blahh blahh.. We should all be so damn lucky. they need to clean house and get rid of about 1/2 the worthless state employees.

Yeah, kinda what I thought. Actually they have all improved over the years. I can only go by my experience and the experience of other people I know personally who have actually owned these firearms. I have had several, keltec, taurus, s&w, ruger, and I haven't had a bad one yet. The only bad experience I has was with a taurus 44 mag revolver that blew the end of the barrel the first time I fired it. I had to send it in for repair, which they did.. took forever but it was repaired non the less. I go through alot of pistols.. buy, sell, trade, even many of the same models.. other's here can attest to that.. Anyway.. Good luck to the Op.. The good people here have given you many options.. now go and get that super deal along with your HCP..

Odds of getting a good one? have you even owned one? I have had at least 4 of these and have never known anyone (personally) that got a bad one. I call BULL****!

Just as an example.. before the shortages cheap **** .380 was going for around $13 per 50 and .40 cal was around $14-$15 for the same. .40 was never really in short supply. I have always been able to locate .40 So in this case under $18 is not far off for today's supply. if I saw some locally I would buy it at that price.

The P11 would also be a good choice.

I have had several of them 9mm and 40. I have not run up on a bad one yet. for the money it's the best thing out there IMO. and don't get me wrong guys. I'm not bashing the quality arms out there nor their price but I also don't bash the less expensive choices. each to their own. if you can afford to buy whatever tickles your fancy, go for it.. If you are on a budget, buy what you can afford. If the Op wanted opinions of what he could save for I'm quite sure he would have worded it like that. a budget is a budget.. the only choice he has is either stick to the budget or not.

+1 on the witness. Actually if the Op isn't in a hurry the possibilities are endless in the used market. Check the auction sites and other internet forums daily. deals can be had. expecially on used glocks, smiths, and rugers.

okay.. I have a gamble for someone.. I'll meet anyone with my SW9VE and 500 rounds of ammo. You bring the 9mm pistol of your choice and 500 rounds of ammo First FTF/FTE pays for the other guys 500 rounds AND add's $100 to the Op's gun kitty. If in 500 rounds there's no FTF/FTE, You have to publiclly admit to a reliable weapon under $300 new AND add $100 to the Op's pot. Ammo can be a mix of HP and FMJ but whatever it is.. We shoot the same ammo. something like 250 rounds of each same brand, etc... So if anyone thinks a reliable gun can't be had for cheap.. feel free to take me up on this.

Actually they are all a gamble. there's good and bad in all.

+1

i dunno what kind of guy he is other then picking on people who don't want to spend $500 or more on a gun. Taurus MilPro, S&W SW9VE, Bersa, All good "on a budget" choices.. I can't comment on the slim yet. I have not fired it. However it would be around 400 delivered which may be out of reach for the OP.

:screwy::screwy::screwy: You have got to be kidding me. you sir are completly off your rocker!
