@Mickey nice Sigs. The problem with shooting all day is the $$$$. Ammo prices are stupid these days. 

Since Trump was elected prices have dropped sharply on guns and ammo.
Dems drove the prices way up, they're low right now. 

It wasn't the Dems that drove prices up. It was the NRA and their relentless, baseless fear mongering that created panic buying. Much to the glee of gun manufacturers.

Where's the fear now with the Republicans in charge? Hint - there isn't. 

And gun sales are not as strong  

Nope and stock prices for manufacturers have nose dived, those pesky NRA guys are to blame. This means better consumer pricing and availability, good times.

Great price Mickey. We have a GT Dist store nearby, haven't been in yet.
Hows the ejection on the Gen 5? No brass to the face I hope.

You are saying Obama & Clinton had no LARGE part in the gun selling run up ( with a straight face)?

Groundless fear of what "the Dems" might have done, egged on by the NRA, was responsible. During Obama's tenure he only signed two pieces of legislation regarding guns - both of which actually expanded gun owner rights.

Ginned up fear is a powerful motivator in creating mass panic and creating shortages and increased prices. The "Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 1973" is a perfect example.

Now that they can't blame Obama, the NRA's latest scare campaign is trying to recreate the panic that they and gun manufacturers enjoyed profiting from for so many years. So far gun sales are still dropping so I'm guessing the NRA is going to have to kick it up another notch or two. Should be "entertaining".

Smith & Wesson 9mm Shield for $199 with free shipping a few months ago. I couldn't find it under $320 a year ago when buying mine. I love it! I just wish ammo would come down

$199 is an amazing price. I'm seeing $425 around here.

Sig P250 for CC

12 gauge Mossberg 500 for potential "visitors"

Vintage first generation Crosman Powermaster 760 air rifle for varmints. (16th birthday present a long, long time ago.)

Shot about 125 rounds and none to the face. My gen 4 would do it.

Odd thing. Have owned 19, 42, 43 and for the first time this gen 5 gave me "Glock Knuckle ". 
But only shot it the one trip. It's a bedroom gun so not worried about it. For the truck and to carry I will stick with 
the Sig P238's.

I myself have always gravitated towards mouse guns.  I do have bigger, but I love my little ones. In fact I just ordered a Kahr CW380 yesterday.  I just don't trust this in the wintertime. I call this the gun I carry when I can't carry a gun...gun. 
I guess I could go with this but dang it hurts my had when I shoot it enough to be proficient.

Absolutely I love to shoot this is my favorite 22 I use it on my dueling tree. My brother and I get pretty competitive against each other. It's a great stress relief. Now I want to go shooting. 

This is funny.  Wilma & I just bought Ruger Mark 3's last week.  Hers is a Hunter 22/45 (polymer frame).  Mine is a Mark 3 Hunter (stainless).  They shoot nice, but need a little mods.  That's my project tonight.  I wish I wasn't stuck in a class right now!  

  These are our Ruger Mark III Hunters.

Nice addiction.  I see you have a couple with fixed sights.  How do you like them?

That is odd, they undercut the trigger guard on the G5 to prevent that. I've never had the issue myself though, hand sizes are the variable.

I have had a P380 since they first came out......so much better than LCP's, KTP3AT's, KTP32's, etc that I have had in the past.  I really like my PM9 as well (goes well in a shoulder rig in the winter.)

I still have my Walther TPH .22LR--my 10th birthday present.  My dad had PPK .380 but it was too big for me to shoot.

They are very accurate just like the adjustable sights all great shooters

Any time ya'll that live  between Greensboro and Charlotte want to get together for a range session I'm in.   My outdoor range has 9 pistol bays, skeet range, .22 range and 100 + 200 rifle range.

I think I'll invest in gun stocks if it's looking like a democrat will be president next

The NRA safety class is excellent. There is also a program called Women on Target. This program is taught mainly by female instructors for women. It is designed for beginner. I am a certified instructor and have participated in several of these programs. I really enjoy working with the ladies. We have also had several men join the ladies.
Check the NRA website for classes near you. Make sure the class is NRA sponsored as you can be sure you will get good info.

Love my Sigs, Benelli's and Ruger. All shoot very well, so omg as I'm concentrating.

Count me in! We always try to get some shooting in at least once every couple of weeks. It ramps up as we get ready for dove and duck season. Mostly clays but I usually break out the HK or walther and run a few magazines through to maintain muscle memory. The HK vp9 is my new favorite, that thing is wicked accurate. Quite fond of a good 1911 too.

I'd love to get my hands on a HK P30SK. They also came out with a VP9SK more recently. Good to hear you like the HK. I'm tempted to sell the SW Shield. I'm just not sure it's worth an additional $350+ after what I could sell my Shield for. It's also a little on the heavier side for carry. The weight is probably justifiable with the quality what carries with it. I'd love to own a HK though

I pocket carry the PM9 quite a bit.  For the past few months, I've chosen SW 642 more often than the Kahr.  That's an air light .38+p revolver.   It's lighter and I've always been a wheel guy at heart.

I would love an SK too! The wife has a shield, she's just not as accurate with it as the HK. I definitely wouldn't consider the vp9 as a daily carry, that's why I have a walther pps too. It is heavier but once it's in your hands it fits like a glove and the weight is negligible. The HK pulls nightstand duty and range duty, it's perfect! I debated a lot on whether or not to get one and I am glad I did!

This was my last project, first AR, and gets me from 6 to midnight the fastest.  

Still need a Vickers 221 sling, and KNS anti-rotation pins, but the hemorrhaging stopped just in time for a new roof.  So glad I did it then. Lol

I do need to grab a few more preferred FDE Gen 2 PMAGs....always somethin'.
