I am trying to deside on an AR10: Bushmaster ORC in 16" ($1399 last inventory) , DPMS in 20" ($1002 last inventory), RRA LAR-8 in 20" ($1224 last inventory)  or Armalite AR10 20" ($1650 last inventory).  I asume a 20" barrel will give more velocity and accuracy. I know Armalite only uses their mags.  M1a loaded w/composite stock, carbon 22" barrel ($1701 last inventory). Which of the listed would be best for money?

The Walmarts around Middle Tn are low on ammo and don't know when they will restock. No AR's in racks, except one 22 cal in Manchester.

I very hesitant to go because of ridiculus prices on AR10's. Might go looking for some 5.56 and 9mm ammo, if prices are not high.

I believe in supply and demand, but give the market some time (maybe months) to see if prices will settle if you are a buyer. I personally have the handguns, rifles and shotguns that I feel comfortable with. I have no need for any additional weapons, but to have some wants. The biggest effect will be the price of ammunition and reloading supplies, for as we shoot/practice/etc our supplies deminish.  I have two Dillion 550B's that will get more use. If a buyer, Wait for prices to settle, if a seller make a profit but maybe consider OBO. 

Show was packed. I stood in line 45 minutes to get in. Shoulder to shoulder for 2.5 hrs that I was there. Still a line to get in when I left. I sold the two guns I carried to HCP olders. Prices on tables were high: AR 30rd mags $50, DMPS 308 carbine $1799 (Walmart had at one time for $972). Win 9mm FMJ $32/100 (Walmart $23.95/100). Alot of dealers with high markup, maybe could not replenish inventory in near future.

I may go, but I'm afraid everything will be so overly priced, it will be unreal.

I've not been able to find any AR10's on line or local, at a reasonable price. Maybe some day one will appear.

My vote is for the Kahr PM9 or CM9. Great conceal carry guns, thin and reliable. I've had my PM9 for several years. This has been my keeper and my CC choice.

I own a Glock 23 Gen3 RTF2 with Truglo ns and 3 mags. I also have a 357 Sig Lone Wolf barrel. I have a Model 33 Gen3 in 357 Sig and have a 9mm Lone Wolf barrel. So between these two guns I can shoot 3 calibers. One could get 9mm barrel for the Glock 23 and be able to shoot 2 calibers. The Glock 23 gives you more options than the Glock 19. You will need a Glock 19 mag. The Glock 23 will hold 9mm rds but tends to misfeed last 9mm rd in 40 mag.

You are swaying me toward AR10, since I've never had one in an AR. Who makes a good one that is not high priced and what is a good price range for one, for I've never really priced any?  What barrel length?

I've been wanting to get a long range rifle in 308. I've had a Garand with a 308 barrel and a Springfield M1A. I sadly sold both several years ago. I would like to get another M1A or AR10. I need opionions as to which is better. I feel the M1A is more accurate beyond 300yds but the AR10 would be easier to clean/maintain and lighter. 

Very good job!!!! You'll have to dulipcate some for sale. My PM9 could use one with J-hooks.

I just let my granddaughter (16) and grandson (18) put 100 rds thru my RRA LAR-9 today. They took turns shooting at bowling pins and then resetting them. Both were able to consistently hit a pin with each shot. On the last round (#100) had a high feed problem from mag, no problems before. They really enjoyed themselves and took photos to show mom and dad.

I have both Glocks and M&P's. I have G23,G33, G36 and M&P 9, 9c and 45c. The M&P has better grip ergonomics. The Glock has fewer parts and the mags or less expensive and available everywhere. You can't go wrong with either!!!

The Ruger LCR would be a better pick. I own a LCR357 and it has a good trigger, is light and easy to carry either IWB or OWB. The 38 spec in 125g hp bullet is good defense load. I carry 125 g Nyclad. The 125g ammo would have less recoil and you could practice with ammo and not real expensive.

Glock 19 or 17 Gen3 or M&P 9 or 9c.IMO

Welcome to TGO, I'm just down the road in Morrison.

I was there and the line to get in lasted to about 12:00. Show was crowded and alot buying from dealers. About 2:00 pm crowd stsrted to decrease. I saw David and he was selling alot of powder, etc. I sold one M&P and wanted to buy a Kahr CW45 mag but $36.95 +tax, so I passed.

Now there saying there was a possible 2nd suspect. How can 2 sick people kill 18 children, innocent adults are bad enough. God be with the parents and others affected. The News will push "Gun Control" issues.

I shoot at least 50 rds per month thru my carry or house gun, most are FMJ not carry ammo.

I've never tried Nitro 100NF, does it work in 9mm, 357 Sig, 40 SW also?  Accurate Powders does not list Nitro 100 for the 45 acp, only listed for 95g copper bullet in 9mm. I might have to try Accurate #2 or #5 again.

I've tried many powders in 45 ACP, but I've not found one that is clean burning, usually alot of black residue. I've tried 231, Accurate #2 & #5 and currently Titegroup. All perform well, but dirty. Does anyone have a clean burning powder for this caliber?

Is anyone planning on going this weekend? I need to pickup some 45 ACP 185g bullets for reloading and some PD 45 ACP ammo and maybe a new tumbler if price is right. I'll have a M&P 40c to trade or sale.

My PM9 has been thru 300+ rounds with no issues. I guess I need to shoot some more 185g Hp, for I plan on carrying the Rem Golden Saber 185 g BJHP.
