Tried to neg. Had to log in in. Too late.
Negged in spirit.

Not a bitch to shoot, it was quite comfy even with the un-extended mag, which is how I'd carry it. I was able to get a full grip on it, whereas I need the extended mag on the 9mm and 40.

I only shot 100 rounds of American Eagle red box 230g through it, which is rated at 890 fps. Shot 100% reliable. Who knows what the actual velocity will end up being but I think the ported thing is way overblown. I will probably be carrying some hot-ass 185 or 200 grain +P with it. I need to look at my .45 ammo situation.

Thanks bruh. Will rep after I spread it around.

Jeebus, my FFL charges us 55 dollars every freakin' time.

must be why they never look at me with that stressed out look whenever i show up to pick it up

That's the highest I've ever heard. Ouch.

$55 transfer wtf

Lol, just come here



Speaking of all this, it's been a while since I bought a new gun. Hardly anyone here even does FFL transfers anymore apparently. Apparently a lot of them are "taking a stand" against California (as if that does anything but hurt your own business, idgi). I had to call a handful of places before the new Bass Pro we got recently will do one.

got your firearm safety card?

Nah, I'm above these peasants. Vets don't need it lol

Reading about all the nonsense laws and rules in CA almost (almost) makes me feel like NJ is an okay state.

Then I remember I can't have an adjustable stock on my AR.

Tried to buy a relentless MFC lower like a year or so ago.

Ffl was all

Out of state transfer fee
Ffl fee
Ca tax
Ca lic fee
Fee
Fee
Fee

$100 lower out the door $500. Or you can buy this one for hundreds less as he points to one under the glass.

lol wotYou paid 400 dollars in fees a year ago? Yeah, you definitely got ripped off hard. The last gun I bought the transfer fee and everything was 80 bucks, and that was just over a year ago or so as well.

Even that is absolutely ridiculous.

Yeah. It included tax on the price of the firearm. Some retarded CA law. I didn't pay tax when I bought it, so I wouldn't have been nearly as pissed if I had.

I got in to a it of a debate bout this with the owner of my LGS two weeks ago when I showed up to league for the first time with a new pistol I had bought online.

She's asked me on numerous occasions to help advise ways to make the shop better. We have a long list of mutual friends and she knows I know Dick about guns, but I can sell. And I'm always happy to help out.

Issue number one is pricing. I bought my 5" M&P PC for 579.99 with a 10 dollar transfer. The 4.25" model of that exact same gun was in her case for $821. ON SALE (!!!!) for $789!! Sorry. That's insane. I literally showed her the emailed receipt for my gun....and the picture I took of her case.

The second issue her, is that most gun shops are full of guys that are super technical gun nerds......but ****ing suck with people, and suck even worse at "selling." My shop has don eagle job getting rid of these types....but I stop in a lot of shops as I travel, and there are still a large number of them around. Selling is a relationship business, people don't want to omen to a shop where they feel intimidated and looked down upon.

The third issue is simply understanding economic drivers. The margin percentage on a gun is pretty damn small as Relent points out. However, the margins on the accessories are often 4-5 times as high as the firearm itself. And most shops do a **** job of selling those. "You're gonna love this Glock 19! What do you plan on carrying it in? How do you plan on cleaning it?" Gotta add the " fries."

I asked her flat out last time she was complaining to me if the sho was a hobby or a business. If it's a hobby, no problem. I'd love if I could scratch out a living playing with guns all day every day. But if its a business, it needs tobe run that way.

We have an USPSA Production shooters here? Millz?

Explosion at Lake City ammo plant. One dead, others injured. This is where pretty much all 5.56 is made in America

That Federal XM193 deal posted yesterday went up $0.02 per round today

Beltless deadlift session just now. We on the gainz train boyos!

If I was stoopid about it I could have done a dbl with 405lbs.

135lbs x5+ - 185lbs x3 - 225lbs x2 - 275lbs x2 - 315lbs x1 - 365lbs x1 - 405lbs x1 / 315lbs 3x5 back off sets. All beltless and mixed grip past 315lbs x1.

No chit! I'm a vet (chair force Travis AFB) and I got one when I was living there. Good that you're more aware than I was.LGS with no internet connection. WTF. Should be sued for malpractice.

Why beltless?

I meant to edit that post. I looked into it and the new general firearms cert required since the new year does not exempt vets lol. Guess I'm back to peasant status and will have to get one.

panic buy all the things

just remember it was dual's fault for showing us first

I guess I just know my body Papa. Especially my back. I've hovered around 315lbs/335lbs for so long now that I could just tell that I would be ok working up to that 1RM. With the back off sets I decided to drop down to 80% of my top set for the day and do some 5's. I pretty much knew what 315lbs felt like and after the first set I knew I would be ok.

I just did bench. Worked up to 180lbs x5 (PR) with 25lbs jumps and now I will take off 80% of that and do some work. Sort of a Madcow top set and 531 3x5 @ 80% thing. Did 175lbs just a couple days ago for a PR as well.

BUT for squats, which I need to work on, a belt will be coming into play sometime soon. I think.

Did you get a prong or clamp belt Pops?

I don't think 5/3/1 uses 3x5 @80%, exactly

Single prong. I'll be using it for DL's mostly.....Usually only belt up for anything over 275 on squats.

I've been caught on the wrong side of that laugh before...

I didn't buy it. Guy said because it was a lower there was more paper work involved.

Not sure if true or just trying to sell me an in house lower.

single prong master race

haven't lifted heavy enough to warrant it's use in about a year though
