We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Good lord, if it weren't for those boating accidents, I'd have a fortune... The government really should put tighter restrictions on boats...

I always keep 180gr Speer Gold Dots loaded (.40). Only got them based on a recommendation from a friend who has a lot of law enforcement in his family, and they're kinda expensive (especially these days) but I can't find a flaw with them and it's not like I need a lot to go plinknig with them =)
As far as restrictions, the only 'restrictions' I could think of in AZ would be things that are restricted at the federal level. For example, the AP rounds that FNH makes in 5.7mm are illegal (or at least impossible to obtain) for non-LE users. I'd say that tracers are an issue, but they are perfectly LEGAL in AZ. (Just make sure you don't burn the desert down, hehe.) Other than that, and probably some other armor piercing rounds, I really can't think of any specific ammo type that would be restricted in AZ.

I carry cheap rainier plated slugs in my own -P reloads.
Better than the mag full of nothing I would have otherwise...

Wow. If you're near Chandler you can pick up (9) Wichester JHP's I have from my old .45.
They are just sitting in my closet.

Winchester white box 147gr JHP 9mm mostly.
When I carry the Blackhawk it's stoked with rather warm 170gr JHP handloads.

Holy Crapoly! I know I've been out of the commercial ammo loop for a while now, since I'm doing my own reloads, but sheesh!
I went and looked at the price of a box of S&B 45 FMJ (like the last commercial I bought quite a while back). I think I paid $18 a box back then, and Cheaper-than-Dirt wants $38 per box now!
What the heck happened?

I carry a .45 cal 267 grain hollow point.
Ya there is no ammo left any more everybody is on a spending fenzy for ammo, i also reload as well and the main problem i have is finding primers for small bore rounds i have gotten the primers for large bore rounds by the boat loads just because i guess it is harder to conceal a large bore weapon.
