Someone asked in email ‘Hey, can I get in on this group buy of 1911 mags?’ Guys, you dont have to ask..if you can read this (or better yet, read this) then, yes, you can.

In case you missed it, the current group buy is for the ChipMcCormick Shooting Star 8-rd. blued mags w/ basepads. $11.50

This group buy runs until the end of this month. I’ve 150 of these things in the pipeline. 55 are spoken for. That leaves 95. If you want ’em theyre first come first served.
I’ll be mentioning it from time to time.

Prices on ammo have gotten spectacularly out of control. While reloading is the best way to kep ammo costs down, even the costs of components like brass and bullets has gone up significantly. So…if you don’t reload, you might really wanna think about it. You can get your feet wet for less than a hundred bucks in gear. If you decide to stick with it you’ll want to upgrade to better reloading equipment but start off with a simple Lee setup to see if you like it.

And, when youre feeling really nuts, you can get yourself a Dillon Super RL1050 and crank out over 1000 rounds of ammo per hour.

The good surplus ammo is starting to get scarce and the stuff that is available is stuff that normally you’d view with a healthy bit of wariness (Pakistani ammo????).

In case you dont know of it, Military Morons is a cool site for reviews of latest ‘tactical’ gear. Sure, its trendy and expensive hi-speed-low-drag stuff but, dammit, some of it is pretty cool.
