Based on what I've been seeing over the past week or so I would tend to agree. 9mm is no longer flying off the shelves at .60/rd, and prices are gradually decreasing. Inventory is slowly starting to come back, and hopefully this will be the beginning of the return to "normalcy".
Not sure I would call that a bias. Many companies offer police / military a discount on their products or services. One way of saying thank you for your service.
Interesting thread, and I can only speak to Wolcott as a pre pandemic consumer. I was a frequent supporter of the range/store, often purchasing supplies of anything firearm related. In addition, Ken would host a practical shoot every other Fri nite that was well attended and appreciated...
Jerry is truly a legend in the shooting sports. I have some friends that have shot with him at matches and say he is truly a great guy, always willing to help others. Would love to take a class with him if ever afforded the opportunity.
This will be the issue going forward this season. Even those of us that had a decent stockpile and/or reloading components will be faced with a shortage. My hunch is steel challenge will become more popular since at least you can shoot a rimfire platform.
You're right, that's about double what one would normally sell for. During these times, I feel some people are just casting the net and see what they catch. I routinely see 9mm now at $30/box, 3X what I was paying simply 12 months ago.
They've been selling that at $30/box for months now. Agreed, I will not pay those prices either. I suppose for someone that has zero inventory it may be worth picking up a box or two.
Funny you mention Runnings in Lockport. I was up that way a couple months back and couldn't help but notice a clerk in firearms that was full of himself. Not sure if it was the same person you encountered, but sure seems likely.
Interesting and tragic to say the least. Can't help but think if the skin color was reversed, Rev Al would be demanding justice and looting in the streets once again would prevail. Yet here we are, and all but crickets from the mainstream media.
The Sig 320 X5 Legion has really grown in popularity with competitive pistol shooters. I switched over to this platform last season after shooting Glock for years. The price tag will fit in your budget, and being 9mm ammo will be plentiful and reasonable.
Used BreakFree CLP for years. Probably around 5 yrs ago switched over to Ballistol and have been very happy with it and no issues with reliability or functioning of any firearms.
As mentioned above, Double Alpha has a decent product line. Also, Blade Tech in my opinion offers a very good product at an attractive price point. You'll find most guys are eager to discuss what they like or don't, check out some of the rigs they are using and this will also help you in your...
I'll add my two cents again to this thread. Taran is a high profile shooter that has done quite well in the competitive arena and promoting his business as the recognized trainer to the stars. The young girl in question was a teenager at the time of the video, and also the daughter of his...
It is not my opinion to judge his actions, but I believe this will damage the reputation of Taran and the business he has worked very hard to build over time.
If you're looking at the Vanek as pictured, I have used his products and several of my friends have. We use these on competition guns and have had no issues with them and the overall impression has been a positive one.
After all the build up over the past two weeks for this event, I feel Glock fell somewhat short. Speculation was Glock would finally introduce a carbine which the masses have been asking for. Instead, they introduce a 22lr pistol which will most likely have limited appeal.
Very true, GSSF is unforgiving when it comes to throwing a mike (miss). Unlike a standard USPSA match where you can absorb the penalty, it's next to impossible to recover being 10 seconds down on a stage.
Agreed that this location has been hit or miss over the years with their customer service or lack thereof. With that being said, this was always the go to place for the greatest selection of newly released firearms. Due to their volume of sales, if gun center didn't have something they would...
These are slowly starting to arrive at the local dealer level. Sig did their homework with this pistol and it comes right in under 45 oz, the legal limit for the carry optics crowd of uspsa. For those with a current X5, Sig also offers just the grip module for $300. Overall very impressed...
The shoot is every other Fri night. Cost per round is $5. Generally 15-20 shooters show. One stage which you can shoot multiple times. Start time is 6pm. Belt, holster, and 4 mags will help. Stop by and give it a try.
$274,695 for clothing ? $243,644 for travel ? And then a 1.4 million salary ? Sweet Baby Jesus, did LaPierre really think this would never come to light and damage the NRA the way it has ?
The perception is LaPierre is no longer effective. If Wayne is indeed focused on gun rights, the most logical thing would be to step aside and infuse new blood in to the NRA.
Ha, our paths must have crossed, I was one of the first shooters on Sun morning. Shot Guardian and Unlimited. Won't be in NJ this weekend, shooting a USPSA match. Next stop for GSSF is Fulton.
Yes, yes, and no.
I believe they had upwards of 300 entries. Tons of RO's to help and support staff make this a well run match. Weather even held out for both days which was a pleasant change given our spring .
Try to find a club locally that hosts a steel challenge event. You'll need nothing more than a semi auto 22 rifle. Competitive, fun and it will be a great introduction to the shooting sports.
