Better hurry if you need them before they are gone. We got 650 today and will be gone fast. This will most likely be the best price you will find.

Just picked this little guy up, Sig Sauer P238 .380 ACP will accompany it's big brother the Springfield 1911-A1 .45 ACP very nicely. Just something about the 1911 that seems timeless.

I'll chime in a little late on this. When looking at a .40 or a 9 and you can't decide you should always go with the .40 for the simple fact that many of the .40's can easily be converted to a 9 by changing out the barrel. Can't go the other way.

I prefer a .45 but mainly because that is what my friend has a loader set up to do.

I'll also address that link above this one for AR magazines. That's pretty shi!!y trying to rip people off like that.

AR-15 mags will never be gone... the price will just keep going up. Your 650 may sell, but there will always be someone to part with them at a price.

Here are a few links for those looking. There are many others if you poke around.

At the current prices on the various makes, and sizes, I'm glad I have enough for mine.

This may be subject matter for another thread but...

As I was poking around for links on AR-15 magazines, I found this...

Sounds like Ma'am Feinstien is at it hard and heavy.
http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/publ...ssault-weapons
Stopping the spread of deadly assault weapons

A portion of the link above reads:
Protects legitimate hunters (cough - bulls**t) and the rights of existing gun owners by:

*Grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment;
**Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:

-Background check of owner and any transferee;
-Type and serial number of the firearm;
-Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
-Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate -State or local law; and
-Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration.

All that sure sounds like the NFA transfer process and $200 tax stamp to me.

Press release:
Feinstein to Introduce Updated Assault Weapons Bill in New Congress

I've always felt sure that stuff like this would never gain traction, but lately... I'm not so sure.
Get involved to help stop it.

The only difference between the Stamp Act that caused problems in November of 1765 is that the government was across the ocean. FWIW, it was repealed in March of 1766.

Not sure what your referring to as I'm not familiar with the Stamp Act.
I was referring to the National Firearms Act of 1968. It costs me $200 for a tax stamp and a big hassle transfer process each time I buy certain types of firearms.

It sounds like Ma'am Feinstien is trying to apply those rules to all currently owned non-NFA (Title II) type firearms.

Your right, they will never be gone but the availability of new (large capacity) mags may be short lived in certain areas as has already been proven in NY. The ones we listed today as in stock are already half gone. Our margins have not changed. The cost to us from the supplier has. The other website you listed where items may be considered cheaper than the product on the earths surface has greatly increased their margins to take advantage of the current situation thus the same mag there is $120+ while we are at $55 with free shipping.

Where is the same Center Industries mag from the Cheap/Dirt store at $120+? I see used crap Colt mags at $129, but I'm not stupid enough to pay that.

Just ordered my Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm, should have it in a week or so.

This is my first gun.
