Haven't checked in a while but usually they would list them around 7:00-7:15 in the morning, Mountain time zone. All I have seen were 124JHP, 115rn and 180JHP.

Their re-stock time seems to shift from season to season. I wouldn't be surprised if it is different by now; way back when I was lurking hard to buy them the re-stock window was 1pm-3pm Mountain Time, but that was a few years ago.
Agreed that PD is the way to go; availability is infinitely better at the moment, price and quality is comparable.
If you're hell bent on going with MG, try to find out what time they've been re-stocking recently within the past few weeks or months, as the re-stock window does seem to shift often. -
The water droplet sound effect got me.

Not sure why they discontinued them. Seems everything competition based is currently off Safarilands website.
Yeah I'm not quite sure. The Everglades and Safariland were very popular and well liked "top" race holster offerings these past few years, it's sad that they're so difficult to come by these days! -

I was looking at the Safariland 015 also but they’ve been discontinued and I can’t find any for sale expect for left hand holsters.
Sorry about that. Did a quick google search and saw some available. My mistake, did not notice that the only ones available were LHD! -

I'd like to get my hands on an Everglades MRH right hand holster but they've been out of stock for a few months now. Currently using a black scorpion magnetic holster and it's been ok so far.
The Everglades MRH felt great and would be worth jumping on if you find one available later. The Safariland 015 is also a great option if you're looking for something readily available *right now*. -

There are better choices.
^ This gentleman is likely to humble to say so himself, but donnyglock IS most definitely one of said better choices.I don’t think anyone has ever regretted going with a Venom Custom.

As a NJ resident, is it worth it to go to the 155s over the 140s when I can't load either to capacity? Any benefits to either one?
I'm also NJ, and personally went with the 155's. Reason being is that I rivet them so that they are NJ compliant, but can still utilize them in PA or MD at full capacity when needed without too much effort. -

Anywho... Since pricing is being discussed.... How does a sale on PD 124JHPs for next 24-48 hours sound? It won't be advertised anywhere else, just here. Thanks to those that use PD products.
Use code ENOSDEAL at checkout.

Cheers, sent it on a case, thanks much! -

I wonder how the V2s fair. I like that profile better.
My uneducated guess would be that the V2's don't expand as well as the V1's given the lack of skives at the tip of the jacket — seems like a target/competition focused profile. -

I have no skin in the game. I buy from whoever has the cheapest per bullet price for the bullet I need. They all work great.
I'm the same way.
Btw, apparently the PD V1 JHP's have decent expansion characteristics — this was posted by @Ssanders224 in a different thread years ago:
"Fired into calibrated 10% ballistic gelatin, through FBI spec “heavy cloth” barrier. 13” of penetration."

So, if all the major manufacturers are within about a penny of each other now, and MG didn’t raise their prices, who was charging more before all this started?
Understanding that your post may have likely been rhetorical, incase it wasn't:
It was pretty much the same situation — all the well-regarded JHP manufacturers were pretty close in terms of cost in 2019.
For 124gr JHPs, I think PD was 8.8 cpr back then and MG was the same 9.6 cpr that it is today. I don't remember what RMR or Everglades were cpr-wise, on account of immediately eliminating them from consideration after calculating them to be more expensive than PD and MG (not by much, but I figured why bother paying even a fraction more when PD and MG's were available for less and already top-flight).
Nowadays, PD is 10.6 cpr and MG remains at 9.6 cpr. They've flip flopped on who is the cheapest out of the two, but are still within 1 cpr of each other.
I think the majority of reloaders consider both brands to be of excellent quality and on par with each other, so outside of brand preference (seems as though there is a decent amount of badblood among the community with regard to MG as a business) I'd imagine that for many people it just comes down to cost and availability. For JHPs, MG availability was significantly better than PD during 2020. No idea about 2021 as I never looked. PD availability seems significantly better than MG for 2022 so far. -

Unless the price difference is stupid different I tend to buy bullets from companies that keep them available when times like this pop up. For me that means Precision Delta and Black Bullets International
Oh absolutely. The price difference isn't too significant either, 1-3 cents per round maximum between MG, PD, RMR, and Everglades. It's great to even have in-stock options available given how scarce components have been lately. I'm thankful to have loaded up on everything back in the early days of the pandemic. -

Everglades and RMR are usually in stock. Can't imagine Montana Gold is that much better but they sure charge as such.
While they're all quality products, MG has been cheaper per round than Everglades, Precision Delta, and RMR for JHPs since 2020 (when bought by the case or largest quantity increment offered). Took a quick look just now and that seems to still be the case. -

Yeah I was a JTAC-I forever and JTAC-E for while too. 3BN the whole decade I was there.
Ahh, gotcha. I was 2nd BN but I remember you from the '18 RSMA — I was ANARCHY14. Cool to see that you're running your own shop now man, best of luck with the business! -

@Kamber...unrelated to post, although I do center the mounts on our guns, just wanted to say "First in Asia!". Haha. Saw your profile picture figured I would say hello from fellow 1st Grouper.
Haha right on.
I think we may have crossed paths at some point actually. Were you a JTAC and/or involved with the JTAC det? Apologies if not, it has been some years and I may be confusing you with someone with a similar last name. -

If it does bother you send me the mount and I’ll mill it down for you.
Cheers brotha, while I'm perfectly fine with it as is, I do appreciate the offer! -
Can confirm, mine is left of center. It doesn't bother me, so I'm not going to have it milled.

I say used with quotations because after looking at everything on the gun and mags I'm 99% sure the previous owner never fired it at all. Got it for $1800.
What a find! Enjoy!!! -

Is this what you are talking about? My mount is to the left of center, don't like it (brand new gun). My smith said that's how it is.
Correct, that is exactly what I was referring to with my question. I'll have to take a look at my blaster when I get home to see if/how off-center my Everglades mount is. I don't remember if I specifically asked Don to mill it down to center it for me when I had it built. -

If I get delivery past the cut-off date, I am hoping the "plug" in the mags will be a rivet!
I'm also in a 10rd state; the rivets in the 155 MBX mags are the go-to solution imo!

Seems MG has shifted their release times from back when I was buying in bulk. Would definitely have gone with Precision Delta, RMR, or Everglades without a second thought if it weren't for the price advantage of MG.

No kidding. Been checking MG's Website for 4 weeks, daily. Sometimes every 15 mins, sometimes every hour, up to 1am. Not seen anything yet. But, I'm going to persist.
They don't restock all bullet types every days, so 9mm JHP's end up being maybe only 2-3x a week despite there being a daily restock of something each day. That was back then, I'm not sure how it is now.

The window of opportunity a few months ago was only 3 to 8 minutes or so during the week that I managed to get orders placed, makes sense that it's a much much more competitive race to checkout nowadays.
New Venom Customs on the way!!!

Looking amazing! Love the way Don's polished flats come out — always looks stellar no matter the finish.
