I'd be able to make it work most anytime. My work schedule at present is pretty flexible.





Once school starts Wed. will most certainly be a no-go and Mon. will be closed unless we're talkin' evening time....

Well since everyones schedules seem to conflict with one another, how about we just have another OC dinner? I think by the time we get everyone together to go shooting in Houston, it will be too cold!

How about we all go down to a gun store on September 13th, and buy a gun with our PFDs! :lol:

Going to be getting an AR with the PFD money. I was talking to a couple places around town, and the model I want is 3-4 months backordered.



Hopefully we'll all be able to go get some the 13th though. Looking foward to getting me a new gun though:D





Hopefully will also be in the Market for a .45 here before Christmas also:D

Spyderdue- What were you looking to pick up??

AR wouldn't be a bad idea. I have feelers out at several shops for an RRA Entry Tactical.

I was at Northern Security today, and they have severalS&W AR's for right at$1K.

They also had the XD's in .45, though they cost about $550. Anyone fired one of the new S&W .45's? Was looking at them today and they look like they would shoot nice.

I ended up putting one of the S&W M&P AR-15s on layaway at Great Northern Guns. It feels like a solidly build rifle, and has all the features I want. That is where my energy rebate will be going, now I will get to use energy throwing .223 lead down range.

GNG has a bunch of them in stock, so if you want one, get it while you can!

I wish you had told me sooner. I had a broken Remington 870 for sale, but sold it to a friend. You can get a Mossberg Maverick 88 for under 200 these days.

Great Northern Guns has the S&W AR for 995, not too much cheaper than Northern Security though. They halso have the XD45 for 499!

Sorry to hear your bad experience with them. The only guy I have a real issue there with is Yog, the fat guy that wears the same damn shirt everyday. I wanted to look at a Ruger wheelgun, but he tried to convince me to get a Smith & Wesson. I don't like dealing with employees that try to sell me something I have no interest in. All the other guys there though seem nice.

Oh yeah, I agree with you about Wild West Guns. I went there to hopefully have some custom work done on a Springfield 1911 I had (just a beaver tail and commander style hammer). The guy behind the counter threw his nose up at my Springfield, and tried to convince me to buy a more expensive Colt. I told him I did not have the money for a new gun, and just wanted the work done on my Springfield. He reluctantly gave me a price quote for the work, and told me it would take 2-3 months, because they were behind on other custom jobs.

I will never go back to Wild West Guns.



So who's up for Dennys on Debarr @ 6PM on the 14th?
