Re: Is 9 MM ammo worth $1 a round?

My daughter and I just left the range here. With the funky hours at Markham I had to settle for using the expensive indoor range at Nexus. Ladies shoot free on Mondays so it makes it almost a wash taking her tonight. They are charging $38/box for 9mm bulk with a 1 box limit per shooter. Even so it i...

Re: Markham Park limiting hours for range

Re: Simple carry gun for the elderly?

I agree with the .22 revolver. No complexity. Bad round, just pull trigger again. Light carry for purse. I wouldn't want a .22 as my defensive carry, but if it was that or nothing I'd be happy with it. Facing a gun that is going "bang" a lot of hoodlums wont stop to check what caliber you ...

Re: Is 9 MM ammo worth $1 a round?

I can't fathom it having gone so high as $1/round. I hope the market readjusts after supply catches up. Sometimes, even if it drops, the new "normal" seems to settle at a higher level. No more $7 specials per box of WWB at Bass Pro after the last shortage ended.

Re: Anybody seen cci standard velocity fir sale online?

I got very lucky. My two teens and their cousin wanted to go to an appleseed event so I ordered a case from Midway last January, not expecting anything like the covid crisis. Decided to stock up on a few other items as long as I was placing the order. It’s let us shoot during this crisis without too...

Re: Hard to believe this was 20 years ago now.

Great design. Nice post.
I didn’t get an HS when they first came out but acquired the first XD model as soon as it was available. Still carry it today.

Returning after several years

Hello all. Glad to be back after several years. My account was deleted but was able to get my same userid. Came around to lurk once in a while but didn’t realize not logging in would cause my account to age away. No biggie. Happy to be back and will try to be more active again.
