What have you recently purchased that is firearms related?

2 new M&P9 2.0's!!! :D:D

Threaded full size w/ suppressor sights
Compact 4.0
So we need to take them out and compare a bunch of cans back to back!! Double-fisted suppressed fire. :cool:
 
Picked up a new SW Shield 2.0 yesterday. Put 200 flawless rounds through it today. It's my new hot weather carry piece. Went by defender ammo this morning and picked up 500 115gr 9mm to test it. Probably put 200 more through it tomorrow. I hope.

Only 1 is threaded. I figured I primarily shoot my 4.25" Pro suppressed, I may as well get suppressor sights, and with these deals I couldn't pass it up.
 
Walther PPS M2 LE edition
Tier 1 Axis Slim for above
Truglo Tritium Pro sights for above
150 rds 147gr HST
500 rds Federal 115gr FMJ
 
Bought another Keystone Arms Crickett rifle for the granddaughters. Painting them Pink/Purple camo right now. Also both don't have the lock. Son lost the key to the grandson's Crickett. :(

I think we need a separate thread just so we can keep up with what @BatteryOaksBilly and @Jeppo recently purchased that is firearms related.
Fer Sure, Fer Sure...

you don't wanna try to entertain yourself with my recent purchases. Only thing I've bought in the last couple weeks is 300 .22 Mini Mags ordered today from Outdoor Limited. And, only because I decided not to send my daughter to a basic handgun course with Wally World ammo that even a sledgehammer won't detonate. o_O
 
Ordered another Lee pro auto disk as I seem to have much less leakage with them vs my autodrum however the drum is better for light loads.
 
Nothing too exciting....25 rd. of Hornady 90 gr. XTP in .380, and 50 rd. Fiocchi 95 gr. FMJ in .380! The tryouts for "best ammo for the Sig" will begin soon!
(Is 25 rd. of anything a decent amount to tell if a gun will like it? Do I need a bigger sample size?) Always with the questions!!

I hear this from time to time and I gotta say that of all the thousands of rounds of ammo that I've purchased at Wally, I have had 1 round of 9mm WWB that wouldn't go boom. I need to add that the only ammo issues I've had recently has been with CCI MiniMags. Several out of a batch that I bought about a year ago will not fire, no matter what gun I put them in. I should have taken pics of the dents in the rims of these things.

Everyone's mileage varies I guess. I'm not afraid of the Wally.

Just my thought on that. If you're sure the gun is reliable, 25 rounds should be fine to find out if the gun doesn't like them. Some .380 pistols don't like to feed some hollow points. I had an LCP that you had to help the gun into battery when loading HP's unless your slingshot was perfect, yet cycled them fine while shooting.

I too have spent a fortune on .22 ammo from WM and not had too many issues. My M&P 22 wouldn't cycle some of them until I changed the gun lube from grease to oil. My daughter and I broke in a new SR-22 the other day and it was a disaster. I've changed the lube on that gun too and will try again tomorrow.

All I want to accomplish is to send my daughter to the course with a gun/ammo combo that will run. It wouldn't be a bad thing for the instructor to demonstrate clearing jams but perhaps not on every magazine she loads. :)

If it is ammo you are going to consider carrying you might want to run more of it just to be safe, but if that box feeds and runs buttery smooth that should give you an indication. Of the 3 Sigs I own none of them are picky at all.

I see. Yeah, I bought a box of cheap bulk Federal. Once. Mine weren't as bad as that. Some of the rounds didn't have the bullet seated in the cartridge. They all fired though. The loosies got tapped back into that cart. and fired in a revolver.

I've got an SR22. I can't think of any ammo that it won't shoot.

Which 3 do you have?
I figure if the 1st box does well, I'll get more and shoot that too.

I really haven't shot the gun yet. It's been too hot to go back to the range, which is indoors, but no AC in the lanes....I'm planning on going soon to really see what it's like. I'm hoping it's like the rental one I tried last time I went. That was very nice. It's why I ended up buying the gun. I'm sure it'll take some use before it gets to be as nice as the rental, because the parts are harder to work than the one I rented. Not sure how much the previous owner used it.

I have a 938 that used to be my EDC, a 365 that is my current EDC, and a 320 X5 I shoot competitions with. I reload all my own ammo and these Sigs are some of the best pistols to load for, especially coming from CZ's. No more super short chambers and bullet shapes to avoid, they eat them all.

What will you use to clean/lube when it acts up?
Not sure about Ruger but I think he uses Tide on some of his Glocks. :D
I'll just strip it down, wipe everything really good, run a bore snake through it, and give it some 3-n-1 oil on the moving parts.

And, I use Dawn on the Glocks.
 
1050 rounds of Speer Lawman 147gr 9mm
I mean...it was just two boxes of ammo, honey...

(I added the extra box because shipping didn't change until I got to 22 boxes ;))
