  1. Don’t ask me how I got this, but good luck to those of you in the market for a luxury brand. Markups. This is from a major player. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Starting to look for shotgun shells. 20 gauge very hard to come by except in slugs. The academy above had boxes of Monarch but I generally consider them a trash brand only good enough to run through my AK. Their shotgun shells any good or nah?
  3. Academy at Voss/Westheimer was flush yesterday. Tons of 556/9mm/45. About 8 boxes of Hornady 6.5CM and shitload of 300 BO but only 6 boxes of SubX subsonic. I nabbed 4 of them. Too lazy to go back in and grab the other 2
  4. Emailed Joel Etchen guns about the difference between the two silver pigeon models referenced above. This was their response: ”The only mechanical difference between the new models (with rounded laser checkering) is they have Optima Bore HP barrels vs the signature model having Mobil barrels.” anyone of you know anything about either of these barrels?
  5. I like large format prints Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Any thoughts on the new 9mm Canik Rival? Have no need for one, but have no real need for my 12 or so other ones either
  7. I got one of those Slonem bunnies ones my wife wanted forever because seemingly every River Oaks family has one. Fucking bunnies. 30k got 2 pieces from an artist in Puerto Rico who’s work I love (Quetzalcoatl). Will post pics when I get off the couch. Maybe.
  8. Academy on Kirby/59 has loads of 556/9mm. So much so that they have surplus on a different shelf. 6.5CM and 300 BO though is a desert
  9. I’ve watched about 10 of his videos. He knows his shit. If you look at the laser checkering on the both the stock and the handguard it’s rounded versus sharp (inverted triangle) on the previous Gen. Again, have no idea if there’s really any other technological advancements from their higher end lines that made it into this release. Just something I noticed about the available inventory of the Etchen guns
  10. I’d be lying if I told you I remember her name, but it was a female who sounded like she knew what she was talking about. Checked out those Etchen 687 referenced above. Sound very intriguing given the better wood and second barrel but from the inventory I saw, it looks like all they have available is the previous Gen Silver Pigeon 3 and not current. Can tell by the laser engraving of the wood. Don’t know if it really matters or not, tbh
  11. She didn’t give me an exact number. I’m not necessarily in any rush to buy, so just left my info with her. She said it could be 1-2 months for what it’s worth.
  12. Appreciate the responses. Dad had a 20ga SA that we used to shoot skeet with when I was younger (don’t recall the manufacturer as I was a teenager then and didn’t really care). setting my eyes on the Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon III in 20 ga. What’s with the different barrel lengths from 28-32”? Figured a 28” was standard size for a regular sized dude. Put my name on the wait list at Briley’s. Can’t wait. Went looking for ammo at Academy today. Jack shit
  13. For the time being, I think I’m flush on rifles and handguns. Looking at getting some (maybe 1-3 for me and the boys) 12ga O/U. Will be mostly used for shooting skeet with the possibility of future dove/quail/pheasant hunting. Really don’t know much about different wood grains/quality but would like for this to be an heirloom piece so nice wood and a receiver with some nice scroll work would be nice. But, I’ll end up engraving something on it too when I give it to the boys. Price range is 2-4k. Was intrigued by the Benelli 828U. Any pros/cons? Any alternatives you guys would recommend?
  14. Q trash panda. Have one on my Honey Badger. It’s great.
  15. Was parked like this for at least 4 hours in between dog walks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Got a couple of prime 1lb rib eyes for me and the boy and some filets for the womens and 6 year old. Directly grilled over charcoal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. These old timey ones fucking suck. Stop posting them
  18. Did u mean J-Bar-M BBQ? Searched and couldn’t find any place called L bar M. I’m assuming from the uniqueness of the name yours was a typo
  19. Forgive my ignorance if you mean anything other than a tax stamp to SBR it, which I don’t plan on doing. I’ve gone back on forth regarding going full out tactical with KAC RAS hand guard, weapon light, red dot vs keeping it classic with just iron sight and stock handguard. strongly considering getting a binary trigger on it though, but that’s about 1k from HK Parts with the full plug and play model that has all the necessary components.
  20. Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Hanukkah, and Merry Christmas to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Need good rec for New Year’s Day AYCE brunch. Nicer the place the better. Prefer that to a la carte
  22. Had some time to kill today. Went to audi central to get an in person look at the etron GT which is beautiful. RS model. Sticker 149k. Market adjusted price of 169k. Fuck audi central
  23. They have a ton of Barnes supersonic but haven’t seen subs in months
