Gun collecting

[exodus]

I offered the guy who had the 460 the chance to shoot my .44 but he declined. The guy with the 500 was leaving as soon as we finished. And I didn't actually have anything interesting with me last night anyway. I blame that on our current ammo supply.

On another note, I noticed something over the past few weeks. The range I frequent is always half empty. So is it like that when you guys shoot? That makes me think people are buying up the guns and buying up the ammo but not actually shooting them. What's the fun in that? Worse come to worse I can shoot just my shotguns. 12ga ammo is plentiful right now. Even 30-06 and some other rifle ammo was still available at Wally World

Yes. My indoor range usually had a wait time and was always packed with first timers and new shooters. Now it's almost a ghost town. They sell 1 box of ammo per person to use at the range, but it's $30+ for a box of 9. I still buy it anyway. But nobody is shooting because nobody knows when they can get more ammo.

My outdoor range is pretty sparse as well. They spent all winter repaving and making upgrades and now nobody is going.

I'm shooting apx 50 rounds of 9 whenever I go, when I usually went through 100-150. And I'm still sitting on around 1,000 rounds, which sounds like a lot until you can't get any more. I'm shooting more 22 to offset, especially with my fiance's new Ruger, which is a sweet gun.

Also hording .223, apx 600 rounds and 45 apx 1,000 rounds. 22 I have a couple thousand.

Plan to buy shotguns soon.

I'm kinda hoarding my 9 but only have about 600 rounds. I've been shooting my 44 because I know I can get reloads. I don't want to put reloads thru my 9 cuz it's a semi auto unless I get really nice ones. My 44 that I've been shooting is a super blackhawk and I'll put whatever I can find thru it. I don't mind only shooting a shotgun because I have a blast doing it(pun not intended). I put a pistol grip on a mossberg 500 and love to shoot it.

Anyone know about the new Walther PPQ-M2 9mm? Thinking of getting one but not too much info out about the gun(this new version).

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Can't remember if I posted it or not, but I scored some ammo last week. 500 rounds of Prvi Partizan .308, 200 rounds of Zombie Max .223, and 100 rounds of American Eagle .223.

Just waiting for my Tavor to arrive so I can take her out to the range. Only a couple more weeks now. Standard Black 16" rifles are supposed to be shipping out this upcoming week. Once those are all shipped the FDE and Left Hand rifles start getting shipped out.

Cope's isn't taking orders for their first shipment, but they are taking names for the next batch.

IWI just posted "Shipping next week" on their Facebook page. Can't wait!!! I'm presuming that this is just their standard Black 16" rifles, and the rest will be shortly after. Im eagerly waiting for my FDE to arrive. I'm definitely going to take the day off work to run by the range.

How much is that? I saw a YouTube video of that and really want one.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

It's a bit steep, but not terrible considering what some people pay for their high end rifles. MSRP is $1999, but I have a feeling it's going to be selling on Gunbroker for more for a while.

Those Tavors are nice! A 16" barrel in a compact bullpup package.

Looks like you found the solution to my state's SBR ban.

Pretty much. All the benefits of a short overall length with the standard length barrel. Per IWI's Facebook page they start shipping to distributors tomorrow. I'll definitely post some pics of it at the range.

~~Does anyone here have the HK 45c? I think that is another gun I'd like to add to the stable, and ultimately use as primary carry. Can any owners give me some feedback on this? I have smaller sized hands, and the M&P9c is a perfect fit for me with the small and medium straps. Does this HK have a noticeably fatter grip compared to polymer guns like Glocks and M&Ps?
(I can't find any of the HKs in stock anywhere so I'd probably have to buy one online)

I have the HK P30 as my primary sidearm. Same overall size as the HK45c, just in 9mm. Grip is a little different -- P30 grip is more like the full-size HK45. Still, I think they're about the same size.

The P30 comes with interchangeable grips for the backstrap and sidestraps. I think the HK45 does as well. Not sure about the HK45c on that. The grip isn't too fat on any of them, though. The P30 with standard backstrap and sidestraps fit my average-sized hands perfectly. Grips didn't seem any fatter than the standard Glock grips.

I'm thinking about getting an HK45ct soon.

It looks like buds has saigas back in. Or at least one model anyway. In case anyone was looking for one.

I picked up a Sig P938 Equinox last week. I've shot it twice and love it so much I had them put me down for the next M11-A1 or MK25 they get in.

That is a sweet looking rifle. I would like to have a bullpup and since I'm left handed my options are limited. It would be this or the FS2000 both are awesome.

The Keltec RFB and FN PS90 are both left hand friendly (I'm lefty too so I know your pain).

~~I just got an update. The FDE rifles should be shipping out next Tuesday, and I should expect it to arrive at my dealer Thursday possibly Friday.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

First rifles are arriving on the scene. Looks like the Group Buy guys got THE first batch of rifles from the warehouse (notice the signatures on the box flaps).

And an unboxing video:

I handled the PS90 and I liked it but the ammo it uses was a big turnoff. Other than that though it was awesome.

I hear that. I have a Five Seven, and while I LOVE the gun itself the price of the ammo alone has put the gun on the back shelf of my safe.

~~One of the Tavor owners is already running a can on it.

how much are those tavor's???
