Internet is sayin' 6-9 months on current backlogs. If you are dead set on a Colt, then you are going to have to play the game. Save money and decide when the price point is right for you.
Building your own is not much better, but prices are starting to slowly creep down on parts.
You should see the look on your wife's face when you come home Friday evening, turn off the main breaker to the house and say: "Surprise honey, prep test weekend!":D
I own two Ruger single six's, and they are some of my favorite guns in the collection. They are an awesome starter handgun for someone who has never shot.
Don't get me wrong either, I am not bashing them in any way. Supply and demand rules the day in any shop. Having purchased firearms from them as well as some prep items, they are a great shop that I will continue to take my money to.
They can run the K-9 around the outside of the vehicle without any kind of PC.
Once the dog hits, they now have PC to search.
Once this happens, and contraband is found, you will spend thousands and thousands of dollars to try to get out of it.
Moral of the story is to thoroughly search...
Sometimes you will work a gun loose a little bit, giving it a bit more play in the tolerance. So if your gun was made to specs a little tight, running 500 to 1k rounds through it will sometimes take care of any hiccups associated with those tolerance problems.
Not all guns need a break in...
AAR report!
arrived at 3:30, no lines to get in, light amount of people. Vendor spaces were full, only 2 booths were not open and 1 of them was setting up.
Looks alomst identical to previous show. Nice mix of everything, black rifles prices were still high, as were what ammo I happen to...
I agree, competance with the firearm and shot placement play a much larger role than caliber, especially the three you listed.
All 3 of those calibers are common in use, and widely available.
You can make srguments all day long about capacity, terminal ballistics, etc, but really they all...
Very few things get people's attention greater than a double barrel shotgun.
Limited in applications, but they work.
What specific questions do you have?
A good rule of thumb on fudd guns is that the glass wil probably cost about as much as the gun.
Keep in mind that Eotech and Aimpoint are made to withstand the rigors of actual field use ( combat).
When you go for cheap red dots, you really have to pay attention. Some of them will loose...
The only reason i like mossy better than remington is the safety.
On the mossberg it is right there on top, easily visible at a glance.
Both shotguns have incredible number of aftermarket parts, so go with whichever feels better to you. Either one will serve you well.
2013 calender is not on the page yet, but I will be doing that regardless, thanks!
Was hoping to meet some people before the weather got nice, rather than having to wait till this spring.
