    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?

    Arkansas is constitutional carry so I'll throw my 9 in the console if going somewhere that I feel the need. (which is becoming more often than not lately)

It was kind of a panic buy, but not really, because it was on my to-get list anyway. I figured I'd buy it just in case the Hillary-beast got elected instead of Trump. 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.

    Yeah, I want another 1911. That may be on hold though. Might have a line on a Beretta M9A3 for $700. I'm not really a fan of 9mm, but a good friend had one of the M9A3, and it was one of the nicest shooters I've ever used.

    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.

    That's my take on them. Good and accurate for a small cheap pistol but for $250 bucks don't expect to run 10's of thousands of rounds through it.

    I'm just looking for something for a budget CC pistol. Not committed to anything yet but this seems like a nice balance of size, capacity, reliability, etc. I think the newer version G3C comes with 3 12rd mags

    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.

    Maybe I'll start looking into alternatives....
