I just picked up a used (but less than 200rds) G23 with CTC laser site for $350. If you look and aren't in a big hurry..there's deals to be had.

I'm greatly saddened... I've just finished all 27 pages and now it's all over. It was like a book you couldn't put down.

Godspeed Andy.

When I was in jr high I had a crush on a chick named Honey Cherry.

I have about $1000 budget myself for a 3 gun shotgun... I figure buying used is the way to go. I'm hoping to find an M2 with the basic mods needed. I've seen them before I was seriously looking.. so I know they are out there, just gotta hope to find the right one. I've considered an Super X2 Practical MKII as well. They can be found with the needed mods for under $1000.

I'm ashamed to admit I've watched every episode. Bunch of sissy-la-la's. They can't decide between whether they are a "hard core" biker gang or a gentlemans biker club. Cracks me up... I'de be ashamed to even ride with them.

My 11 yr old daughter won just about every award available at the year end school awards this year. Straight A's, Honor Roll, Congressional and Presidential achievement awards, tops in both math and reading, and a bunch more. My 7yr old son was the ONLY 1st grader to achieve (and surpass) all the reading goals setup at the beginning of the year. He also scored in the top 5% in math nationwide. He's doing multiplication and some division while some kids are still learning to cut with scissors. So proud of those kids.....

Here's your answer. Rafael knows what he's doing and it's WELL within the law. +1 for me too. Just recently picked up my "off list" SP-01 Shadow from Rafael. Painless and easy. As of right now, the cost was $125 including transfer and DOJ.

About a year ago I made an offer on a gun that was $1000 OBO. I offered $850. He comes back with "I won't take less than $1000." I'm like.. "Then why does your ad say OBO?" His response.. "That means 'Or Better Offer'... you know, $1000 or higher. "

That one got me the other day too. Dude had a $20 throw lever on the optic and wanted an extra $20 for it. ANOTHER guy had an AR with a bunch of crap I didn't want, so I made an offer without the extra stuff. His comment was that I could sell the pieces off it for X amount.. which was what the new price was. I told him that HE could sell those pieces... I'm only interested in the gun. These other guys must be some of the ones that sell high (or attempt to anyway)

Hate that so many people think a 5-10% discount off new price is enough for their used item. Optics have been the worst lately for me. Looked at something used the other day, seller wanted $750 for... a NEW one is $799. I offer $700... NOPE, not enough. Forget it, if I'm only saving 5-10% off new.. I'll just buy it BRAND NEW.

Tell me about it.... Our only after hours Emergency Vet is 75 miles away. I've made that trip 3 times now. Ran my own dog over once, and twice for rattlesnake bites. We have 6 vets in town, none will offer emergency service. 2 of them advertise they do, but when you call.... the answering service just gives you the info to the place 75 miles away. Heaven forbid one of the dogs need truly IMMEDIATE service.

Dang...

Good info, thanks everybody. I'll be looking into a SC bag...

I went from an 870 to the 1100 and just plain shot better. Everything about it seemed to work better for me....

It's been a treasure trove thus far... thanks guys!

I gotta go find someone to show me archery basics now...

The local USPSA club just announced a fun shoot "Marksman Match" on Fathers Day. 50 people max allowed to sign up. I HAD to sign up even though I've never touched a bow and have little shotgun experience. Just sounded to good to pass up....especially at the price. Can't wait.... "We've got sign ups for our Master Marksman match at the shop right now. 50$ per person, includes ammo, food, guns, everything. Topping it off at 50 shooters. Must sign up prior to the match. The match is similar to Top Shot, we're having 8 stages in one day. Archery, Carbine, USPSA, 3-gun, primitive, precision rifle, shotgun, and rimfire challenge. Silver buckle for top prize and plaques for division and stage winners. We're providing all the weapons and ammunition to make it fair for everybody. Match is Fathers day."

Lot's of info to process here... thanks people!

I was Class of 84...

I had enough extractor issues with my 1911 lately... I got all crazy and bought a CZ SP-01 Shadow Target for Production. Should be fun...

It was painful to watch the steel shooting.... but you are still moving faster than me right now.

I'm totally new to it all as well, but I'm currently putting accuracy before speed. I figure as long as I can place my shots where I want them, the speed will come as I get more comfortable. I have the same issue with moving targets as the OP, but I've never shot at them before this, so it's just going to take some time to put it all together with more range time.

I shot my first match this weekend and shot SS. Talk about stage planning! That said.... that was one of the more fun things for me. Figuring out how to most effectively shoot 8 at a time. From here on out I am changing guns and will be shooting an SP-01. I'll most likely shoot Production unless I just feel like changing it up. I'm in no hurry to "be fast" right now, so learning all the basics including mag changes sounds good to me.

I shot a buddies XDm 5.25 in .40 and it was a VERY nice gun. Did everything I asked and just felt good.
