  1. So I think I'll put this here. I got a Guns & Ammo issue with a 28ga auto shotgun on the cover. Is it possible that the gun industry is totally tone deaf to its customer base? I haven't seen a box of 28ga shells on a shelf more than once in the past two years. Gun owners simply cannot go out and shoot like they did before the shortage. Regardless; the industry continues to promote new, even more rare or hard-to-get products. Seems like there's a major gulf between marketing goals and customer base reality.

    Saw this on the YouTube last night and I think I like the Springfield version better.  Thinking that when Springfield comes out with a stainless version it'll be a "take my money" moment.

  3. I sell frequently.  Get rid of stuff that isn't getting shot and acquire cash for the ever-evolving wish list. 

    Off the top of my head I've unloaded two Beretta 92s, a 1911, two modern, Savage bolt action deer rifles, and a Winchester 1300 riot gun that I personally owned.  I am the only one in the family with a large safe so I have also unloaded a Savage 99, Winchester 94 and Remington 760.  With prices the way they are now it just makes sense to get rid of stuff that's just taking up room or not getting used for whatever reason.

    I also ran through the ammo locker and sold about $250 worth of unopened boxes of ammo that I had no plans on shooting.  Biggest impediment for me has been Facebook's gun ban.  We had a local FB page that was essentially a gun market.  It was a great resource in hindsight and I really, really mis it.

  4. OK so "this ain't no bullshit" I went fishing with three buddies the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We were about 15 miles from the nearest point of land in the GOM offshore of Taylor County, Florida. Saw a "log" about 150 yards from our spot. The "log" was looking weird in the water so we decided to idle over. We found a boar hog "deader than Elvis" just floating around. Didn't see any bullet holes but we didn't look too hard because it wasn't daisy fresh. The working theory is that someone shot it and it ran to (or was dumped in) the river and the tides gave it a free ride out. Obviously it was November so it made it out without the wall of teeth tearing it up.

    We limited out on gag grouper trolling FWIW. 929820dcc9feefa9faf095c50acc558a.jpg

  5. Boiling peanuts this past Sunday trying to recover from the Kansas loss and I took this tailgate pic of morale rebound around 2pm. Figured Truck Nuts was the appropriate sub forum for sharing. 2018 Tundra. Runs like a sewing machine. e38c65b6c869313d12dda8af9697e997.jpg

  6. Here is the ammo room just now at the World Skeet Shoot in San Antonio. No idea about prices because I brought my own. 
     
    This is kind of sparse compared to past years, but then again, a year ago they were saying that they had almost none to sell and people could bring factory extras on-site to sell if they wanted to.
    The parking lot is also back to being full and on-site registration never opened because they filled up all the slots online last week.

    Do you have a decent online source for flats of AAs right now? Before I go down the Google rabbit hole...

    The BHP is undeniably one of the finest handguns ever invented. 

    ...and a reputable company re-introducing them, forged in the USA, with updated 15rd mags and losing the magazine disconnect, is a big deal.  The gun industry is currently overrun with Glock knock off, polymer firearms roll marked with "DON'T SHOOT YOUR FACE OFF BEFORE READING THE MANUAL".  Throwback looks and updated functionality in a JMB handgun design that has decades of combat and competition pedigree is a refreshing development.   

    I think it'd be a perfect handgun for an office desk where you don't have to continuously carry around the weight and the lack of a rail wouldn't be a disadvantage.  A purchaser could still take it home on weekends for the never ending war on ranch beer cans.  It seems like a handgun owned by a man who wore a nice watch and also had several Blantons bottles strategically stored in safe locations.  Just my .02.
