I've got a Ruger AR-556, and it works well enough for me. If you want to get an above decent AR for less than $1000, then check out Palmetto State Armory.Quote:

I'm having a hard time finding 5.56 around here. 9mm as well. People didn't just go apeshit over Lysol and toilet paper in my neck of the woods.
I can't help you with the .45, as I don't own a firearm chambered in it. Are you looking for a 1911?
In the past the only reason I thought about getting CCL was the relaxed ruled for transporting guns in a vehicle. Now I'm considering again for other reasons as well.Quote:

The Clintons have a thing for gun bans, and Biden does too, so I'll probably be buying one or two guns before this election, just in case.Quote:

Beretta deal fell through. Officially, the last things I've bought are as follows:
A used EHX Soul Food pedal
Wiper blades for my car
A bottle of boubon
Case of beer.
I've been kinda eyeing the Taurus G2C 9mm but haven't pulled the trigger on that yet. ;)
Anyone have any thoughts on it? Seems to have a lot of good feedback for a $250 pistol.
I don't have any personal experience, but I've talked to a lot of people that like their Taurus guns. I've never heard of any problems, but I imagine that's because the people that I know that own them have only owned them for 1 to 3 years. So if they've got Glock reliability, only time will tell.Quote:

You're not gonna see this until later, but it still has to be said: 9mm ammo is sold out practically every where online. You may have some bulk sales, but they're few and far between, and you can expect to pay at least double than what it would normally cost. The cost issue will hold if there are local retailers with 9mm in stock; they're gonna charge you out the ass for it. Demand is high, supply is low. Industry insiders say that things probably will not be back in stock until next year, and prices will probably take a little while to get back to normal. And that's assuming a Republican win in November. Things will be way different if the Dems win big. Like direly different.Quote:
