Has the bun buying frenzy started yet in your area?? The 4th quarter industry sales will go out in a bang so to speak.

Doc I don't know but Obama told people to talk about gun control over Thanksgiving and they responded by buying enough new guns over the weekend to equip the entire US Marines and two Army Divisions, supposedly.

ATF gun checks were at 185,000 on Black Friday - a new one day record according to a report that I saw.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

My son was over as Bass Pro last night and said the cases with the pistols were all but empty.

I stopped into a local store last night to do some dollar cost averaging on my .22lr portfolio. There is still a pile for sale, from various manufacturers, and the 2 box a day limit has been removed.
Activity at the gun counter was slow for the time of day. If we are going to get another big spike, I don't think it has hit my area yet.
There probably has been a spike at the County Clerk's office in requests for Pistol Permit applications. Actual sales will be months down the road.

We are selling handguns like they are going out of style!
I have no doubt that when I get to work this afternoon, there will be a line at the firearms check out.

I just picked up a stripped lower last night. That pretty much depleted my fun money for the time being.

I'm building three uppers and have a start on the lowers. 'Tis the season!
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

We went by one of our LGS Friday. They are on a major hwy and had a sign out front advertising AR-15s on sale. The parking lot was full and cars parked on the side of the hwy.

I was thinking of getting some 80% lowers.
Not that there is economical value in it, but stopping at the factory and paying cash and not filling out paperwork always feels good.

[quote=SamOlson]I might buy a Glock. If you haven't already, check out the Smith M&P in competition. [/quote For a longtime rifle shooter, the Glock seems strange. The first pistol I bought was a Glock, after shooting rifles and revolvers for years. I never could get used to the long trigger pull and the "plastic feel" so I sold it and stuck with revolvers until one day I picked up a S&W 410 P in 40 Cal. It's a "Commander" sized pistol and I really like it. I shoot it about as well as my revolvers, which is to say I'm a notch above mediocre. I suggest finding someone who will let you shoot their Glock before you buy one.

I pretty much have enough guns. I wonder if a person can have too much ammo though... That's be like having too much money. Never happen.
