My deepest condolences to those lost and their family. My brother was at Gunsite for the week doing the 250 course and as a sales rep doing account work with the proshop when he witnessed the event unfold. He was pretty shaken up by it.

This is a last minute plea, but Kris Koenig is running a "finishing fundraiser" to complete his pro Second Amendment documentary. Kris Koenig is an Emmy award-winning scientific documentary maker. There is just over 24 hours left to make the Kickstarter funding goal and it looks like it'll...

Re: Amsec safes, need advice There isn't a single drywall-lined safe that carries a UL fire rating. I think the reason shold be self-evident. Don't buy the antique safe until you get a price quote (and if possible, an inspection) from a SAVTA technician on the cost of servicing and/or...

Re: Besst price on TRG-22 mags I got mine on MidwayUSA with one of their widely-available coupon codes. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from EuroOptics. They sold me my TRG.

Re: Fatboy Jr gun safe Internal hinges reduce fire rating too with drywall-constructed safes. There is no fire barrier in the area the hinges occupy when the door is closed. There is a direct path of heat from the outside, through the sheet metal shell, into the contents of the safe.

Re: Amsec safes, need advice I've seen the Ultimate by Heritage. I'd rather grab their Barrett-branded AMSEC BF. At one point I was going to order an AMSEC AMVAULT TL-30 commercial safe through Sportco and do my own interior but I ended up coming across something else. Sportco has very...

Re: Amsec safes, need advice "Composite" is a term the gun safe industry abuses and steals. A real composite safe in the commercial safe world has a concrete aggregate poured between an inner and outer steel shell. A fire safe tends to pour composite aggregate between an inner and outer...

Re: Amsec safes, need advice American Security's BF line is actually one of the only gun safes on the market that actually has a plate door. It's an honest 1/2" thick steel plate. No other gun safe company can brag about that. It's also the only gun safe that uses a commercial composite...

Re: Amsec safes, need advice BF series is built like a commercial safe, poured aggregate between two steel shells. While the barrier isn't a security aggregate, I'd trust that method of fire barrier protection over fireboard. You also get a 1/2" steel plate in the door construction. I'd...

Re: Safe dilemma, what would you do? I disagree with almost everyone here. Everyone here is making the argument of getting a bigger safe NOT for security reasons, but purely convenience. A smaller safe allows one to install it into a concealed area of the home not open to general traffic or...

Re: Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags? $1/round of 5.56mm. That's the same pain I feel when I buy Black Hills 77gr Mk262 ammo. Welcome to my world!

Re: Cheaperthandirt.com rolling over? $59 pmags? Vote with your dollars. As an aside, I just picked up 80 Okay Industries USGI grey teflon, green follower mags for $8 ea, though I'm distributing them at cost to friends and family. No buy low, sell high for me.

Re: Cheaper then Dirt Boycott I bet if CTD announced they would halt sales of these accessories immediately and simply throw them into a big bonfire instead of selling them, people would complain too. Vote with your dollars. That's a language businesses understand.

Re: Best Gun Safe? Graffunder safes. Brown safes. Both are commercial-grade builds with plate construction and concrete barrier. "Best" is a subjective term. Neither carry a UL rating but they're among the best turn-key gun safes on the market. American Security makes a UL...
