Calls Shots (8/11)

  1. This happens every 4 years. Every 4 years people say it is the worst, ever, cry a lot. Every 4 years I agree with that assessment. In between those 4 years, it is always an insanely plentiful buyer's season. Even when prices dont die back down to pre-election pricing, they have been very reasonable, even accounting for inflation. Before the shortage hit this past time, it was one of the best. Factory quality 9mm for $10 a box to your door. 223 was under $300 shipped per 1k to your door. We told everyone to stock up on componentsand ammo. Many didn't listen. Many said money was an issue, then bought brand new expensive cars, guns, etc. Then the same thing happened every 4 years. It wasn't money. It was priorities. I'm a poor ex college kid, so instead buying a nice car, I continued to drive my $2000 Toyota and bought enough 223 and 9mm to last at least a year of drought, which was typical of what we saw every 4 years, no matter how long they always said it'd be a shortage for. I'm not here to condescend; on the contrary, because I stocked up, I was able to equip earnest local new shooters with 9mm supplies when they couldn't and lined up at Academy for 4hrs every week. We always hear, "well some us don't...etc". Maybe. But I think the real answer is priorities. The rest are excuses. Reminds me of the parable of the grasshopper and the ants.
  2. They say the same thing every time. And it does get worse, every time. But it never lasts to be even close to as bad as they predict.
  3. Wow.... But also how did they know which one were bots?
  4. Friends that put in the order said it would come in Feb. Haven't heard from them. Will check.
  5. Many are worried that the same thing that happens every 4 years will occur to them if they spin up new factories or businesses; going out of business first from the lack, then from the abundance.
  6. *large qty, autocorrect I believe it was 9c a spp.
  7. Thanks sir! I heard they were stocking Ginex w discounts on large quiescent, just last month.
  8. Thanks for the feedback. I read here just now that a guy's Glock wasn't setting em off. What pistols did you use em in?

      perfect. USPS has been super slow lately! 

  11. Ahhaahahhaha Thanks for all the laughs from your post. Be it as it may spark a whole separate flame war; yes, there are better options vs the Serpa (like with Safariland). And yes, it is their fault for not being safe with their firearms and not training themselves correctly. Many of us have used Serpas without issue. Many of us also have bought better holsters.
  12. Yeah, I get that you can tune it so it borderline will almost never come out, but can still be drawn if you are determined.... that's kinda how we set up our Bladetech level 1 holsters with the thumb screw when shooting 3G. I still will always recommend a level 2.
  13. That's awesome. Glad you didn't have to use it as your boat anchor... though it certainly would be heavy enough to do the job
