Traded in some safe queens to tickle my fancy

HESITATES? The post went up 8/10 at 11:33 and I messaged him 8/10 at 11:57a- 24 minutes later...is pretty quick response
I don't believe you got to him first but In my message said I wouldn't be able to get to him until Wed/Thurs so he took the quicker sale.
As for Sig I was looking at it last night and didn't buy as there were some bad reviews. When I got to work this morning all were out of stock but I looked 30min later they were back in so I bought. I picked up 1000 for 250 last month so I dont really need it but if prices continue to climb I got em at a good price. And the SIG was listing at 18.95/50 but when added to cart it came down to 17.05($341 for 20) with Free Shipping.

I hope that Fiocchi is a bad batch and bunch of duds...LOL

HA, your the one who had to wait to get it. He told me that and offered it to me for the same price as you, but like a greedy bastard I tried to squeeze a few more pennies out and didnt hear from him again LOL. Kicking myself about it now. $325 sounds like a total steal when you see what its listed for everywhere else.

What does that even mean If I so much as pick up a hammer my wife runs screaming "don't break anything" !

It’s mounted on the end of the lathe and spins on internal bearings, to keep the rotating part I’m working on steady. MT3 stands for Morse Taper #3, it’s the size and slope of the taper to fit in the end socket without threads or a key way, and still holds fast. The low runout means the bearings aren’t loose. Oh yes, as noted above, someone might mistake it for a buttplug if they were into those things

I picked up 3 cases of 9mm for normal pricing $212 each, with tax, I had sitting at Bass Pro. Here*s one of them before it gets locked away.

Thats a good score. Ive been trying to get some ammo for a few days now, and its tough. Even started bidding on lots on gunbroker, but keep getting out bid. Been trying to keep it around 30ish cents a round for 9mm, but people are going wild and paying 50, 60, even 70 cents a round. $600 for 1000 rounds lol. I see people on Arms List selling whatever ammo they have sitting around trying to get a buck. Herters and Blazer listed for $40 a box, and they make sure to say its FIRM lol.

Whole worlds gone crazy for 9mm. I should have kept my .40

That's why I just bought a 40. Don't get me wrong, it's gone up too... but only about 20%, not 200% like 9mm.

Sounds like we're back to the point that buying a police trade Glock G22 and a 40-9 conversion barrel + .40S&W ammo may be as viable as buying a case of 9mm ammo.

I also picked up 300 rds of 5,45 at a decent price. Balanced the cost vs the quantity I was allowed to buy.

I never got rid of my 40s. I*ve amassed around 8K rds through the years of stashing ammo away. Time to take the fawtys to the range.

Ive only had one .40, it was my first handgun, a used Smith and Wesson SD40VE, and I hated it. Couldnt shoot it worth a damn. I ended up buying a CZ P-07 Duty in 9mm and loved it, so the .40 sat in the safe til I eventually sold it to fun my first AR build.

But now Im thinking, maybe its time to give a .40 another shot lol
