gun sane

Good to know.  I ordered a thousand Berry 100-grainers for my .380s last night @ $75.00.  If they're nice to me in this kind of dog-eat-dog market, they'll see me again.

That's the first and last time I've seen that blog.  Maybe he should go on a USO tour.

There's something seriously screwed up with me.  I should have known by the author's byline.   :nervous: 

There's something seriously screwed up with today's Army.   http://www.duffelblog.com/2013/03/alleged-fort-hood-shooter-nidal-hasan-receives-promotion-legion-of-merit/

Buddy at BSL is one of the best guys to deal with.   I was one of his earliest customers and he works hard to deliver a superior product for a very reasonable price.  He's always open to suggestions and recently developed a 300 AAC Blackout offering.  Drop him a note and he'll share some of his recipies. 

It's interesting what this ex-Navy captain has to say:  "Why do we need them?"  Pick it up one minute in to the video.   http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/americas-newsroom/index.html#http://video.foxnews.com/v/2207180216001/sen-slams-holders-refusal-to-rule-out-us-drone-strikes/?playlist_id=86909

  Not for nuthin', but "most" isn't that comforting a word in this case. 

Heck, police kick in the wrong door every day.  What do we do with the geek on a joystick who just happens to get a terrorist's ID wrong and levels a daycare center?

  Unless Obama ordered the flags lowered, their U.S. Code excuse doesn't fly....pun intended.

Not...one...single...drop of Citgo gas goes into my tank--ever again.   http://www.khou.com/news/local/Citgos-Houston-offices-fly-flags-at-half-staff-for-Chavez-195652111.html

If you're not reloading you're really hurting.....if you are reloading, you're kinda hurting.

I'll just get in, buy some things from David and get out.  These gun shows are turning into Fantasyland.

I don't know what you're used to reloading, but I think you'll find .38/.357 easier because of its straight wall design.  Some find the tapered casings of semi-auto calibers a bit more difficult.  You will need to roll crimp the loads, but that's easy-peasy too.

I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

She announced that Argo won the Oscar--that's the flick about the group of Canadians that helped rescue some Iranian hostages.  You know, kinda like Obama and Benghazi.....no, wait...

  Exactly.  And they know it, too.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKq3967hUgU

GOP turncoats in the Senate are negotiating with Dems to erode the next layer of freedom from Americans.   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/08/gun-sale-background-checks_n_2644793.html

I was glad to see the franchise has come full circle.  Too many of the plots were about as believeable as Obama's promises.  Never did care for M with estrogen.

I'm keeping my betting money in my pocket until Hillary's in the match, too.  :-\

This was passed along in an email, so take it with however many grains of salt you wish.  It's about what we may expect about the guns and ammo inventories in the coming months.  Maybe it will confirm or deny what you've heard, but I'm sure to a lot of you any news is welcome so that you can make plans.  Please comment on any part you find to be questionable--that's how these things get sorted out.   Devon Harris {from Federal} at the SHOT show, said the industry used to worry about selling what they make, now they worry about making what they sold. No sign of it letting up on the retail level, at least here in Ohio. Even Wall Mart has put 3 box limit on ammo, any ammo including shot gun shells. Everyone in the shell industry that I talked with had their plants running balls to the walls, 18 months worth of production is spoken for, they were some what worried about raw materials. Doug Ross has several important info updates about the status of the gun industry followed by an inventory update. We traveled to Texas for Industry meetings concerning the shortages, here's what we were told: Smith & Wesson: Running at Full capacity making 300+ guns/day-mainly M&P pistols. They are unable to produce any more guns to help with the shortages. RUGER: Plans to increase from 75% to 100% in the next 90 days. FNH: Moving from 50% production to 75% by Feb 1st and 100% by March 1. Remington-Maxed out! Armalite: Maxed out. DPMS: Can't get enough parts to produce any more product. COLT: Production runs increasing weekly...bottle necked by Bolt carriers. LWRC: Making only black guns, running at full capacity...can't get enough gun quality steel to make barrels. Springfield Armory: Only company who can meet demand but are running 30-45 days behind. AMMO: Every caliber is now allocated! We are looking at a nation wide shortage of all calibers over the next 9 months. All plants are producing as much ammo as possible with 1 BILLION rounds produced weekly. Most is military followed by law enforcement, and civilians are third in line. MAGPUL is behind 1 MILLION mags, do not expect any large quantities of magpul anytime soon. RELOADERS... ALL Remington, Winchester, CCI & Federal primers are going to ammo FIRST. There are no extra's for reloading purposes... it could be 6-9 months before things get caught up. Sorry for the bleak news, but now we know what to expect in the coming months. Stay tuned, we'll keep you posted. Bow Owens says they didn't know when they'd be getting anything back in stock, from magazines to rifles to pistols. Manufacturers were running full-bore, but couldn't come close to keeping up with market demand. It wasn't just the AR-15s, the AK-pattern rifles, the M1As, and the FALs that were sold out. It really hit me when I realized that the World War II-era M1 Garands, M1 carbines, and Enfield .303s were gone, along with every last shell. Ubiquitous Mosin-Nagants -- of which every gun store always seems to have 10-20 -- were gone. So was their ammo. Only a dust-free space marked their passing. I've never seen anything like it. Every weapon of military utility designed within the past 100+ years was gone. This isn't a society stocking up on certain guns because they fear they may be banned. This is a society preparing for war. Barack Obama, Dianne Feinstein and the rest of the Statists have done more to promote gun ownership than the NRA ever did. Well done, Democrats.

I'm in for some small pistol primers, powder and bullets.  What you got is what I need.

I've owned a predecessor to the S&W 5900 series, the Model 469.  I liked it and used it as a carry for about a year.  Then I heard about the Bersa Thunder 9 UC and bought one second hand at a gun show.  The 469 is now just a memory while the UC 9 belongs to the wife and it's her favorite.  I've also owned the Bersa 9 HC and the new BP9CC.  Both of them are solid winners in my book.  I'd trust my life with either of them.  Not that I'm a Bersaholic.  I'd love to take the Shield out for a spin, but I can't find one, even if I could afford it.  I've found that reliability and personal ergonomics trump cosmetics and name brand recognition when it comes to using the pistol for its primary purpose.  Heck, even Goldilocks quit looking after she found the one that suited her best.

So this is how Prez Zero is going to run the so-called United States of America.  Maybe we can sue for false advertising.

Not for me to try to dissuade anyone, but I'm posting this FYI.   Gun Appreciation Day will share the weekend that another group is honoring MLK Jr.  They probably won't buy this as a mere coincidence.   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/clarence-b-jones/nra-king-gun-appreciation-day_b_2440998.html

I suppose NBC News is going to sell that mag on Gunbroker to cover the lawyer fees.
