I found 1000 Large pistol Primers in Odessa last week for a bargain price of $69.99. That helped me realize I have enough primers to last a couple years.
I have enough to get by, but I am below my comfort level.Your timing sucks...
Yeah, the ammo craze has definitely spread to the components now.Good grief. I bought two bricks at Academy a couple weeks ago for $39.99 and that was high.
It's always the gun I WANT that is out of stock or not available.
I'm on a waiting list for a Smith & Wesson M&P 9 Shield EZ w/ thumb safety at my LGS. They have the more compact non-EZ Shields in stock but I don't like them and apparently other customers don't like them also. They have this stupid hokey "safety" trigger that is two-piece and gets bad reviews. It may balk at firing the gun if pressed too far up toward the top. A simple old-fashioned one-piece trigger is the way to fly. I think the EZ pistol will fit my large hand better and kick less with that awesome 9mm Luger ammunition being a hefty 26-something ounces loaded. I will need a larger fanny pack to pack it, that's all. I don't want a mule-kicking mouse gun. There's not one new .38 Special revolver available right now for concealed carry that tickles my fancy. Those little Smith airweight things look ugly to me. The only one that would work for me is the new Colt Cobra .38 Spc. +P but that's out of stock. I could get a bigger K-frame new Smith in .357 but that's too clunky for fanny-pack carry. Concealed-carry-size pistols are the hot market item in the present day. Nobody wants to pack a hog leg into Walmart with a covid mask on.
Another elusive as the Holy Grail for me gun is a new Benelli Super Nova Model 20100 shotgun w/ 28" barrel, plain black and 12 ga. I wouldn't be caught dead buying a camo finish gun. There are some brand-spanking-new plain old Novas for sale but the trouble is they are just plain old Nova models lacking the adjustable-for-comb-height-stock-with-shims and the softer shooting compressible ComforTech stock.
Of course Colt AR-15s are presently out of production for the civilian market but an AR is low on my gun-acquiring priority anyway.

Yes, I only use the 8rd magazines with the extension. The recoil is not bad especially considering the guns size and weight. Most ranges that rent guns will have one to try.You probably use the pinky extension mag. How bad does your gun kick?
How much are eagles selling for down there?There is now a waiting line for silver eagles, just like our ammo. Now if someone could start reloading silver boolits, I'd buy, like killing two birds with one stone. Or is that vampires or werewolves?
I've worn a purpose built fanny pack for years. I've been in gym shorts since March 14th and am active outdoors. Haven't left it at home. Everybody knows what's in there.When I'm working in the yard (mowing) and kicking up dust, I keep my pistol of the day in a zippered, rectangular pack with a spare loaded extra magazine.
Keeps it clean and un-sweaty.
Does using on of these critters look kinda dumb?
Yes, but it works like a charm and IDGAS what anyone thinks about it not looking all tacticool...
