    Sidearms & Scatterguns Dan Wesson Specialist vs Springfield TRP Operator

    At the NRA Convention 2013 in Houston, I had a chance to handle both. I preferred TRP Op over DW Specialist. Among DW 1911 lines, Valor felt the best.

    you mean there is a line starting at 3 a.m.? I don't think Academy opens before 8 a.m.

    My understanding is that frequency of problem ammo is increasing, both with old and new ammo. At gun show, I saw very old 7.62x39 ammo for sale that was marked corrosive. Winchester issued a recall with new 223 ammo lot. These things happen most probably because ammo production is at record...

    Lower back pains , any suggestions ??

    The effects of acupuncture/chiropractic treatment tends to be temporary. Medical science as of yet, don't clearly understand why most folks with what looks like anatomical spine injury tends to be asymptomatic, that is free of pain, while some folks are not. While this is anecdotal, I've seen...

    I just tell folks that it's only temporary and all that is gained by buying now is the ability to shoot now rather than wait 6 or next year down the road. I recall folks saying similar thing in 2008/2009 frenzy. That they've never seen anything like it. On a similar note, I recall similar...

    If I'm selling 22LR from a store, wouldn't I stand to benefit MORE by driving UP fears regarding coming ban/restriction on 22LR?

    I think paying $500 or $5,000 or $50,000 for a brick is OK but I think lot of the buyers are buying it under the assumption that ammo restriction/ban is coming. Odds of that happening is as close to zero as possible.

    they tested 33 target ammo in 3 guns, with 3 5-shot group size as small as .2 inch at 50 yards. Eley did well. It's just that other match ammo did better.

    it actually depends on the platform(host rifle/pistol) when GT(Gun Tests) tested it. Eley did not consistently come out on top. Quite often, other brands did better.

    I don't know if you have access to Gun Tests(you need subscription) but they tested Eley versus bunch of other ammo here: July, 96 Pricey They tested large number of match loads in 3 match guns. Basically, they found out that the driving factor was the specific combination of ammo and...

    I think 500 rounds of 9, 40 or 45 will exceed the cost of 22LR brick, even at these inflated prices. The only practical alternative is air gun and laser targeting system.

    April Houston gun show 22LR prices...

    Yes and no. I think lot of buying frenzy is driven by fear mongering(fear that ammo, e.g., 22LR, will face permanent shortage/ban/sharply curtailed availability/etc.), esp. by those in the industry and those who stand to profit from it. I think all of us are subject to it, since it's an...

    I don't think 22LR ammo is a gold mine for the simple fact, there is no barrier to entry regarding production of more 22LR. It's only temporary at best. As for people willing to pay those prices, have you compared the average cost of TSP(Thrift Savings Plan), probably the best 401k/403b plan...

    is that a 50 yard group? Nice group but I've seen groups like that with other target ammo, perhaps not as consistently. You just need to find the specific load that your rimfire likes.

    it's human nature. If one can profit from fear mongering, one tend to engage in it. At gun show or at gun stores, I rarely hear folks say that the current situation is temporary and you can wait it out by practicing mostly with air gun in 17/22 and via laser targeting system. I heard couple...
