[Buckles]

very cool. well if someone comes in and buys a G27 this week its probably me.

 

[slurmdrinker]

$100 for a few miles closer?

BTW i called Spectre today and they had the glock i was looking for $10 cheaper than Tomball.

I don't mind not driving 25 miles more for 100$ I'm not the long distance kind of guy anyway. I just got my license and car. BTW I went to Academy today, and there was no Beretta. There was the Taurus clone though.

I just got a quote back from them at $499??? I am going to be in Houston on Monday and was looking forward to picking up a G19

 

[DirtyD]

Price went up Monday to $499....

Well poop, I am going to be in Houston on Monday and was planning on picking one up

 

[ZX9RCAM]

I picked me up a G22 there 2 weeks ago.....real good prices, real good people!

Another plus 1 for Spectre.
Did my FFL transfer with no issues and ordered a set of tritium sights.

 

[Texas_Archer]

For guns, Tomball Pawn - they will order you ANYTHING you want and their prices are close to the same as Buds Gun Shop.com

Range would be Shiloh Indoor, Shop would be Spectre Firearms, but I am biased....

+1

In response to the "little" debate as to a shotgun being the "best" home defense weapon, IT IS. In a defense scenario, anxiety and fear will set in, particularly if you are protecting "others" and not merely yourself. Therefore, what is easier to do, point or line up your sights? Answer is obvious. My 870 with 00 buck (3 in.) will cut a person in half and it will not penetrate walls.

I wonder if anyone who commented has actually witnessed the impact of pellets on the "human flesh"?

I doubt very many.

I beg to differ, number one, your double ought buck in three inch shells WILL penetrate walls, and will not cut a man in half... and the spread of buck at HD distances is negligable, a shot gun still requires "aiming"...

Yes your 100% correct. If APatriot would Practice some with his shotgun he would know better

Have treated many hundred patients with GSW, in this case SGW in both Houston trauma centers over decades. What a story I could tell. Oh yes, eye to eye even a 410 is VERY effective. These are Zombie worthy death dealers.

Check out AMSS on Jones Rd. just north of 1960. It's a great little shop with great people running it. Its in the same building as the driving range pro shop is in.

Golfing and Guns in one building. Aint Texas Great??

I dont have much experience with different gun shops, .. But I was very impressed with Pig Supply in Highlands. As a girl(obviously) and a 1st time purchaser, I was made to feel very welcome. Im sure some of the questions I had were pretty stupid, and if they thought so, they never let me know. LOL But seriously, i really enjoyed my visit and learned so much. Personally, I would rather spend my money with local mom and pop shops than big chain stores. Its more personal that way. I hate that these larger chain stores are smothering the little guys. and im not necessarily talking just gun shops...

Ok, well theres my contribution..

BTW... I introduced myself on the introduction forum

I looked it up and it came up with one of your posts on the TexasCHLforum, lol. Maybe I can get a chance to check it out since they're not far from me.

Also, is your local swim team still wearing shirts with their logo? hehe

I have Number 4 Buck in my home defense shotgun. I like the idea of around 27 pellets downrange. 18 inch barrel and there is already one in the chamber so I don't really plan to rack a round until after the 1st shot.

As far as penetration, I feel that if I have to use deadly force in my home the last thing I'm going to be worried about is the damage to Vicky's car in the garage if a that number four buck makes it through the wall and into the garage. More worried about it making into the asshole in my house that I need to kill.

I have pistols stashed everywhere, no kids, so that worry about kid's room penetration is non-existent. I do have a 16 inch AR carbine too....

Still looking for a good clamp for the 870 for a light...any suggestions other than that overpriced Surefire?

 

[gitthatdawg]

i have a 45-70 so i can shoot through the walls. Less chance of anyone shooting back gun fights are overrated.
