  1. This weekend I ran about 500 rounds through a Bul Armory Tac Pro 5" with Holosun 508t multi and really enjoyed it.
    Only issue is that when it got a little dry the slide lock lever wouldn't always engage but that's on me.
    Very enjoyable to shoot and it's only limiting factor was my ability.  Nice gun.
    Also ran a box through my Manurhin MR88 which I hadn't done in a long time.  Sweet shooter especially with .38s.
    Biggest revelation there is that my eyes are going and I can't see the front sight for shit.  Researching replacements since I don't want to paint it.  Getting old sucks.

    Bul makes some good stuff.

  2. What's a good FFL to use in South Austin?  Thanks to Mac's post above I'm ordering a 1911 from Palmetto.

    The range at Austin?

    Ctgw kinda sucks - weird place.

    South Austin could use a good gun store.

    That’s a commander. Is that what you want? Pic is different than description.
  4. I'm selling my 40' Cruisers Yacht 3870 if anyone is interested.  Asking $75k.  It's in the water now at Sail-n-Ski Lakeway, ready to be used.  It's a beautiful boat and in great working order.  Slip can be transferred.

    I’d be interested at around $37500 if you’ll let me make payments. I can put $300 down and the slip lease prepaid for the term of the loan.

  5. Ordering a firearm online can be a PITA sometimes.
    Here’s part of an email I sent to my FFL…..
    I am the customer who ordered this Kahr CM9 from Grabagun last week and designated your store as the FFL for the transfer. FedEx has mistakenly attempted three times in the mornings of Thursday April 3rd, Friday the 4th, and Monday the 7th prior to your 11am opening time deliver it to your address.  Apparently the driver paid no attention to your store hours (Tuesday - Friday, 11am-6pm….Saturday 11am-3pm…. Closed Sunday &Monday) posted clearly next to your front door. After the 3rd failed attempt tracking notice today (Monday April 7th), I went to the FedEx distribution facility on Howard Lane (north Austin location) and informed the clerk that their driver was trying to deliver my package too early and that you were closed on Mondays. Supposedly they will pass on to the driver what your opening hours are - I even showed them a photo I took of your store hours in your window. Hopefully the driver will make the next delivery attempt (Tuesday April 8th) at the proper time when your store is open.
     

    lol
  6. I have a friend that’s looking for .223 to stock up on. What’s the go to online vendor that I can recommend him?

    Sgammo as mentioned above is good.

    Outdoor limited has some good deals.

    Anything less than $9 a box is great.

    I like PMC xTAC stuff - all PMC ammo is pretty good. Their 9mm is the recommended round for 2011’s.

    43 cents a round online with free shipping g is solid.

  7. I paid $559 + TTL for my last one in 2024…..this very basic lower end Springfield Armory Defender - it came with 3 magazines, a range bag, and a smaller bag.

    Looks like a garrison but I dont see them much anymore.
  8. I think it's the surging popularity and efficacy of the 9mm.  Modern rounds check all the boxes that the larger .45 acp used to fill.  Penetration/expansion/kinetic energy similarities, with twice the capacity and half the recoil?  

    Yeah. The 9mm cartridge has benefitted most probably from tech advancement in the handgun space.

    We’re dropping the first fully ambi 2011 into the market in 60 days - impossible on a traditional 1911 platform.

  9. Because of the flood of competition from Turkey?

    That’s some of it but other things:
    Low capacity
    Mainly 45
    Tons of supply even domestic
    Older people (fans) getting dead

    If you wanted a 9mm 1911 just get a 2011.
  10. I seriously think SXSW just needs to reformulate as a 7-day event with every venue booking their own shows but one pass gets you in anywhere.  Stop the profit model, give the money to the clubs and the artists (minus a MODEST administrative fee).  As it stands it's just a floundering clusterfuck.  (Dibs.)

    Agreed.

    It’s become South by So What.

    Fuck the film and tech bullshit - run a corporate conference for that.

    I’d love a week long music fest, $100 pass gets you in everywhere.
