Biggest thing is to "TRY" many models. Practice, rent, a friends, etc. You must be comfortable with what you are going to shoot! Practice, practice, practice also. Many different guns feel different. You do not want to buy one and find out you hate how it feels/shoots and never practice with it.
Ammunition shortage?
- Thread starter 06330i
- Start date
So I hear. I am gona try and shot some today with rented guns.....
I am starting to look at these three they all seem to fit my current needs and are very reasonably priced. As stated it mey just be witch one I can get ahold of first type thing considering the shortage at the moment
S&W M&P .40
Ruger P95
XD .40
All are good guns. I personally like guns that I enjoy the feel in my hand, which is why I went with the XD over the glock 27, I'm one of those weird guys that prefer the 1911 in the double stack instead of the single because I have bigger hands.
For home protection I keep the xd loaded by my bed at all times with a mossburg 500 pump loaded beside that, my wife keeps her .38 special on her side of the bed, then down the hall is the 30.06 rifle. I don't play around with home protection. All of my windows and doors have alarms on them as well.
My wife always says that the lock on the door isn't for my protection it's for everyone else lol.

I found freedom munitions had 9mm in stock and at pre-frenzy prices so i bought 500. i went back to get more and they were sold out.
also mako group has AR15 mags at decent prices if anyone is looking
it's nuts.
to toss my opinion in on a great pistol. the CZ75 and it's variants are the finest easiest shooting pistols i have ever shot. the 75 is a bit heavy so i carry an XD9 sub, or if i want something smaller i have both the P3AT and the PF11.
but i do love the CZ 75 and SP01. IMO better than even a custom 1911. yeah i said it!

Looky at what I got a my hands on:
You don't want to know what I paid for it. Got it at a gun show today. Found some .223 ammo for it too, but the guy would only sell 10 boxes per customer. At $15/box, not sure if I wanted to buy more than 10 boxes.

I can only imagine what you spent for it! I went to a gun show today, there were people loading up highly overpriced ammo on dollys! Stripped AR polymer lower receivers were $400 and Magpul 30 round PMAG's were $40 a piece! And those were the cheap prices.
Needless to say I walked out with just a lower parts kit w/ handle for $70. The cheapest full AR was a brand I've never heard of for $1500. I spent $1800 on my shotgun but I can't justify that much for an AR-15.
Same price up here on the Magpuls. I got a Windham Weaponry AR for $1600. That was the cheapest good brand I could find. There was a RRA bone stock for that same price, but the WW comes with more add ons for the same price.

I'm glad you got your Ar Nasty.
So how many rounds do you have left?lol

Welcome to the BM family lol.Windham is stamped on my receiver, above the trigger group.
Yeah, everything I read about WW made me pretty confident in the rifle. I think of it as a Bushmaster Plus. We'll see how she shoots. Can't put too many rounds through her with the way the ammo situation is now of course.

Congrats Nasty! I love my bushmaster AR. I would love to add a "shorty" to my collection also; will need to wait till prices come back down. Who knows when that will ever be though with these idiots shooting themselves the last few days at some gun shows.
Plenty of ammunition stored though. Stocked up buying cabelas bulk options for .223, 9mm, .22, .40 last year when price started to drop at the wind down of Iraq.
Nasty, check out the CCMG .22 conversion for the AR. I got one for I think $189 (new bolt and mag). Can be changed out in less than 30 seconds and back again. Lets you shoot .22 all day for like $20 for 600 rounds vs the cost of the .223. At up to 200 yards only small change in accuracy, unnoticeable at only 100 yards. Now when I go to range I bring 1 box (20 rnds) of the .223 then I plink the .22.
No jams experienced at over 2k rounds. Bushmaster makes a converter also; stay away from theirs. I sent theirs back due to repeated jamming.

i have a CMMG upper and lower. i have always wondered how well these work. will have to get one now
I had a chat this morning with my buddy next door at work. He went to the gun shop and the shelf were empty. My buddy ask the vendor why and he reply: "Obama was the best thing that never happen. People are going nuts and stock piling on assault riffle and ammunition. We can't supply the demand!"
Yea it happens about every 2 years, Obama and politics aside.I'v gotten used to it and place a big order when the prices are low.
a friend's neighbor bought three AR15 rifles a few months back... when asked why three, he said "it's an investment, I'll flip them in a few months, I don't need any"....
people overreact on a lot of issues, not just guns.... sad thing is, they hope for a grandfather clause, as has been the norm when things are made illegal...
what do they do when that is eliminated
Made the purchase
So I bought the XD.9!
They did not have any of the 3 I was interested in with the .40 ammo and only had this one in the 9mm version so I got it. I did rent it at the shooting range beforehand and liked the feel was very comfortable as well as I had already spent tons of time looking at reviews for this model. I like the safety's it has compact size price design. I will be going to the range more often and I will come back with a more in depth review of it.
