Trust me, I know all about doing what you have to do in order to make ends meet, but every time I see an ad looking for an armed guard, the pay is around $9/hour. That kind of risk hardly seems worth it. Just my 2 cents, and good luck.

Cool! What was the purpose of such a field trip?

Stones River on Hobson Pike. This is an outdoor range, so it may be a little too cold for you. Gun City on Murfreesboro Rd. in Nashville. Guns & Leather (Best range around, in my humble opinion) in Greenbrier. On Target on Thompson Ln. in Murfreesboro. Based on your location, those are what I can think of right off the top of my head. I know it's hardly the closest, but I'd really suggest making the drive out to Gun & Leather. They are a great bunch of guys who are more that willing to help a beginner. They also rent all types of handguns, so you can get a much better idea of what type is going to suit you best.

Yes, I did, and that thing was awesome. Seeing that .458 slice through both sides of a steel tank like hot butter was was simply amazing. Built on an AR platform, it's as close to perfect as perfect can get. I have no other big bore experience for a comparison, so I can't help you that much. I would take Rightwinger up on the offer to take his .458 for a test drive. You won't regret it.

Bellshire's on Dickerson Rd.

MidwayUSA is one of the cheapest places. I have one on my AR. They're out of stock on the full-size stocks. They still have the shorter ones.

Many of my family members belong to a union, have belonged to a union, or own companies who have become unionized. All of them are doing very well, and I've never heard any complaints coming from their direction. Most of them belong to the Mason Union or Ironworkers union. Several have retired very well. Most others have been members for 15+ years. After listening to most of them talk over the years, they are in it to make as much as they can as fast as they can. They are looking out for #1. If and/or when unions are a thing of the past, they will deal with that if/when that time comes. Until then, they are getting their piece of the pie. I've often considered moving up north to do the very same thing, but I hate it up there. I have no personal experience, so I can only speak of what I hear and read. I can see both sides, but with the events going on these days, it's not looking very good for many of the unions.

LSN is well-known for such ad's. I see "P" series Ruger's for $500-$600 on a regular basis.

This was posted over at AGO. Just a little perspective.

I did buy 100 rounds of WWB .40S&W.

I spent about $1700+/- on mine. You could spend less, you could spend more.

I'm not from the Boro, but I find that very hard to believe.

WOW! And even plenty of Smith & Westerns.

What are you talking about? It was working fine for me.

Ok. If that's the case, the $450/1000 isn't looking that great. I've seen all kinds of M193 for a bit under $400. A customer of mine just picked up 1000 rounds of M193 for about $360, IIRC.

I'm sure it's perfectly legal somewhere. Let me know when you find it.

Obviously this is how Jesus wants things. Relax, and go with flow. The end result is always the same.

Is there a difference between M193 and XM193?

I didn't spend a lot of time searching, but the few sites I just looked at had 1,000 rounds for about $450. If you can find it for $350, I'd buy all you can get. There is a reason you rarely see group buys on ammo. The profit margin isn't very good to begin with. I've never been involved in a group buy with 10K+ rounds of ammo, but I'm guessing the profit margin is still fairly slim, especially with such a demand for the ammo at this time.

Congrats! Enjoy the new toy.

How 'bout them Titan's?!?

Welcome to America, where greed....errr.....supply and demand is King!

I play Blu-Ray movies on my PS3, but that's as close as I get.

I'm sure it's great for Glock lovers, but I'll still pass for an XD.
