I’ve been buying most of my Ammo online lately. The places that I shop don’t charge tax, and even with shipping it’s usually much cheaper than any local shops. In fact, I even found some 357 Sig ammo on GB that I couldn’t find anywhere for a great price. The pics showed the retailer’s name. I called them up and purchased directly from them. No tax and no CC fees normally associated with GB.

I hear a lot of people saying the Runnings in Johnstown has been pretty well stocked for a long time on ammo and black powder supplies. Too much of a trek for me at almost two hours. I don't care much for F&S, but they have a decent enough supply on hand as well.
F&S has had a good supply, but their prices have been quite high as of late. A big difference from a year ago when stuff was really hard to find and they were the cheapest around, at least for 9mm.

If you’re still looking, I just came across these and they look good. They also make many different types for all kinds of guns. Nightfision.com

Range, Nightstand & hunting.
I've had night sights on a couple Glock guns (19 & 27) in the past but don't recall what they were. My Sig 365 has factory installed night sights; I believe the front is a Truglo and the rear is of Sig's own manufacture?
All of the current P365’s come with Sig X-ray 3 sights. It has a green front post, and the rear is just a pair of tritiums. I’m not sure if the older ones had Sig lites, but if they did, it would have a white front post, with 2 white ones on the rear.

I found some Federal 3” 12g trophy solid copper slugs at Walmart yesterday. I haven’t seen them in almost 2 years. It’s been pretty slim pickings though at the few Walmart’s around here. Mostly just 22LR. I did grab a box of Federal 22 $21/325. They run pretty good in my pistol.

Last week I stopped at a local place that has been around since the 70's but recently went to new ownership. They had nothing in stock but of course said they could order in what I wanted......I don't think I'd trust them to installing them.
Now that the Buffalo Gun Center is gone, I don't know who's the best stocked dealer?
Every gun shop that I stopped in didn’t have the sights that I wanted. My go to shop said they could order them, but couldn’t tell me when they might get them. So I asked if I could just order them myself and bring them in to be installed. No problem! Go right ahead. I think I did them a favor actually.
With so many options for sights, and probably very little markup, I’d guess that most shops won’t keep too much in stock. Maybe I’m wrong. IDK.- 1

I like the X-ray 3 sights, but I’m not sure if they’re available for Glock. Meprolight makes a fine tritium sight as well. $25 at my LGS to push them in. Money well spent.

This yearly thread was always started in September right before the season started. It was actually called Live from the Stand years ago. Nobody ever had a problem with it. The thing is here on Long Island, the season continues until the end of January. And with a title that says 2021, some of us were posting in a thread from the previous year but the same season. So I propose that a new Hunting thread is started in September when the season is about to kick off and is labeled 2022-2023, to cover the entire hunting season. Like the way it used to be. Then members that haven’t been around all summer don’t have to wade through 100 pages of BS before they even get to the real deer hunting posts.

When I converted my Savage last year to 6.8spc, I did some minor work on the bolt as well as swapping the barrel.
Now that I’ve found a new hobby with pistols, I am obsessed in learning the ins and outs of how they work. I won’t get involved in polishing any trigger parts, but I will purchase better parts for them and swap them out myself.- 1

60 dollars for a box of ammo if you can even find it.
Definitely not cheap, but I wouldn’t be using it for plinking either. Have the 9 and a 22 conversion for that.

I didn’t know about the 380.
Just released this week.

The 365xl really fills the gap between the 365 and the 320. Now that the 365 is available in .380, I may have to reconsider a striker fired in the future. Lol

At first (don’t be offended!!) I thought that was a Kahr.
Really I have no problem with Kahr, I had one for awhile and it was excellent.
Have you shot the 239 yet?
How many P365’s do you have?
No offense taken. I haven’t shot the 239 yet. Hopefully Monday. It was made in 2013 and is in immaculate condition, but it will not be a safe queen for me. I plan on putting plenty of rounds through it.
No P365’s for me for 2 reasons. I prefer hammer fired over striker fired, and if I did get a 365, it would be an XL. This 239 is about the same size as a 365XL. They stopped production of this gun, but after seeing it in the 2 tone and the condition that it was in, I just had to have it.

A deal has been struck.........Nature's Prize had the model I wanted, the young man that waited on me was pleasant and easy to work with and the price was great. Now I just have to sneak out of work tomorrow or Friday for a quick (dreaded) run downtown to the County building to have it put on my permit. Then I'll buzz back out and pick it up at my leisure.
I got the G21 Gen 4......I considered the G20 10mm but between the higher cost and less abundant ammunition and increased recoil, I decided on the 45acp. If I decided I had to scratch the 10mm itch, you can get a 10mm barrel for the 21.
Congrats on the .45 and enjoy. That will probably be my next caliber that I get, but after picking up another Sig, it’s going to be a while. P239 2 tone.

He said it’s a .22 caliber and I’d guess 8” barrel.
Haha. Thanks. I missed that. My reading comprehension sucks in the morning.
14 minutes ago, kpkot said:Correct 8" barrel and 22 LR. It's so heavy and over-built its like shooting a cap gun.
$550 which I thought was a good price. Some of the pistol packs they made are going for crazy money on gun broker.
Sounds like a great price. Congrats and enjoy.

Ok…
Op, I’m a lifelong Leupold customer because of the customer service they’ve given me.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkLikewise. They are second to none.
My father does not abuse the program. In the last 10 years I think 2 scopes have been purchased. The whole gift/resale clause is to prevent people from buying the maximum every year and taking advantage of it. -

It’s kind of messed up to take advantage of the company that offers this program to those that deserve it.
When you sign up it specifically says this program is only for you and not for gifts or resale…
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI’ve been hunting with my father who is a veteran my entire life. What’s his is mine and what’s mine is his. There are no gifts involved or resales. If you think it’s wrong if he purchases a scope for a rifle that we both use, then I don’t know what to tell you.

I just picked up M8 compact 4x gloss finish from 1984 that is just like new on EBay for $150.00 and it’s like new. Be careful of knock off leupolds if you go on EBay though there are lots of them.
Yes there are. Best bet when purchasing on eBay is to request the serial number and verify with Leupold.

Both good choice , lots of new names in the game too. I'm a big nikon fan ,if I were to be getting a new scope it would be a vortex or burris.. I have a bushnel trophy on my muzzleloader, as much as I'd like to knock it I really can't.
Check out
Camera Land is an unbelievable store. They have so much inventory. It’s a great place to walk in to see many different scopes if you’re ever in the area.
It’s too bad that Nikon got out of the scope business.- 1

I’m a big fan of Leupold. Made in the USA and they stand behind their products. And they also have a VIP program that offers great discounts to those who have helped our country. If anyone in your family is a veteran, LE, military, government employee, as well as others can qualify.

Thanks. Not Medford. It was at a private club in Cutchogue. I was a guest today. But I do shoot in Medford quite often.
