Looks like they actually expire in a year, and should be able to pair a free shipping coupon in the future. Not bad. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

  Buyer's remorse I suppose. I wished I had taken the extra second to look at the fine print. Most of these "deals" on Groupon/LivingSocial/Gearhog have an expiration date several months to several years ahead. This one expires in two days. I cannot immediately think of anything I need that they sell on there, and due to the cost of shipping it nearly negates the "deal" in the first place. Amazon has cheaper pricing for 90% (76.5% of statistics are made up) of everything Brownells sells. If I had a few months to spend it I'd be more than happy. Could have found something today better to spend $20 on than that. But perhaps someone else will like it.   EDIT: Cancel all of that. It looks like they "edited" the ad so that it expires on 9/17/2014. If that is the case, I am satisfied.

100 Mbps (Mega bits per second)   1MB = 8Mb 1 BYTE = 8 bits 1 bit = One "1" or "0"   So...100Mbps (100Mb/s) = 12.5 MBps (12.5 MB/s)   I think I typed all that correctly.   It's subtle but it could save your life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iubJ-XSL9go

It is the equivalent of a $20 off coupon, but right now on Gearhog they are selling $40 gift cards for $20 to Brownells. I've purchased one to Midway before and it was a very pleasant experience.   http://www.gearhog.com/?did=66754&rf=661684   EDIT: Just purchased one, noticed that is "expires" on 9/20/2013. Unless that is a mistake, it expires in two days! The paid value ($20) never expires, but you only have a couple of days to spend the full ($40) value. Kinda sneaky, but it was in the fine print.   EDIT: Cancel all of that. It looks like they "edited" the ad so that it expires on 9/17/2014. If that is the case, I am satisfied.

Ordered one from Larue Tactical (cheaper shipping). I personally cannot wait to get this one! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

I just wish someone in Cleveland had one! If anyone does live near Cleveland and has one, PM me. I will probably end up ordering one tonight after I measure how long it should be, but I would like to give it a go if possible before I order just to verify everything will be alright.   Guess some things you just have to order yourself and give it a go.

I'll admit, these belts caught my eye while browsing Raven Concealment's website. I've read that they are quite stiff, and often times require removing the buckle in order to thread it through your pants.   I am interested in purchasing one, but see that there are several options. Does anyone have one, and if so, what do you like/dislike about it? I had a High Noon Holsters belt, but lost a lot of weight and stopped wearing it. I now use a Spec-Ops Brand Better BDU Belt, but feel like I could probably use a belt that offers more support. I'm hoping that the Ares Belts offer just that.   Please, give me some reviews and recommendations.

  Well, give me the list of reasons here and now! I've read up on some of it, it just seems to violate on of the rules of gun safety, that's all. I will probably give the VG2 a try. Thanks!

Reports saying two suspects "down". Eyewitness reports suggest 3 gunman, one wearing "military fatigues".

  My understanding of the VanGuard system is that (for Glocks) you can use it with most any model Glock? Get one for the G26 and use it with my G19 if I want? For concealing a small firearm such as a G26, I don't mind or care about the "extra" step of holstering. Besides that, would you consider it adequate for safety concerns? The trigger guard if completely covered, how's retention? Once it is in place on your belt, does it sit pretty stable?   I have no desire to AIWB. I understand that functionally speaking, it is just as safe as OWB or IWB on one of your sides. However, I am a firm believer of never pointing a firearm at something you don't want to destroy. It looks like to me that AIWB has the firearm pointing directly at your thigh area. Just the though of that makes me cringe. If I am wrong about AIWB please let me know.   Wish someone in Cleveland had a VG2 for a Glock, I'd love to take a look at one!

I have been and typically carry a Gen 3 Glock 19 in a Raven Concealment Holster: http://www.ravenconcealment.com/holsters/phantom-modular-holsters/phantom-light-compatible-holster   I carry attached a Surefire X300 Ultra. It's a great combination. However, as you can imagine, it is quite bulky IWB (I use the tuckable soft loops): http://www.ravenconcealment.com/accessories/iwb-modular-accessories/iwb-eclipse-modular-accessories-iwb-tuckable-soft-loops   Most of the time this is fine. If I am going into public for shopping or a friendly gathering, I typically will be wearing a button up or polo even in warmer weather.    However, I also try and go  on several 4-8 mile walks a week. Recently I have been compromising and placing my Gen 3 Glock 26 in my pocket. Since I don't (and have no reason to) feel comfortable in placing a Glock in my pocket with one in the chamber, I leave it chambered when I place it in my pocket. On a long walk, it is generally more comfortable with the G26 in my pocket than the larger G19 rig IWB.   However, I am now wishing to pickup either an IWB holster or some sort of pocket carry setup for the G26. For one thing, this really caught my eye: http://www.ravenconcealment.com/holsters/vanguard-holster-systems/vanguard-2-holster-full-kit   However, I've also seen the little "trigger blocks" for Glocks that go in your pocket and all sorts of other things. I'd like to know what all of you think about the most minimal ways to (safely) carry a Glock 26.

      New email? Why? Send something to that ad about how already purchased one but haven't received it yet. Ask if they will take care of you better!

Was looking at the local listings, and came across this:   http://www.gunlistings.org/tennessee-gun-classifieds/chattanooga/all/175717/gwinn_very_rare   Perhaps you have already seen one or perhaps already seen this one for sale, but I just found it as a very intriguing rifle and thought I would pass it along.

Went in there for the first time today. It is in the old Sears section of the Bradley Square Mall. Not a bad place. It reminds me of Dicks or Academy. Had probably 25+ black rifles and quite a bit of ammo at moderate pricing. Didn't find .22lr, but didn't look too hard either. I will probably still shop at a locally owned gun store, but in terms of chain sporting goods stores this is by far the best we have had in Cleveland. http://www.dunhamssports.com/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Well, there are unintended consequences and unintended benefits when someone purchases something like this for resale. First we must face a fact. If someone is paying $50 for a brick of ammo and Walmart places some of the shelf for $20, what is the fair market price? You have the ability to purchase it in a limited quantity at $20, but if people are actively paying $50 a brick, I argue that the true fair market value is $50. For this example, we will assume it is a "fair market" and disregard any potential "insider trading" or the like. Lots of people pay $50 for a brick, so the fair market value is $50.   That means that the $20 brick that Walmart is selling is undervalued. Econ. 101 will tell you when the selling price is below the equilibrium price, you will have a shortage. We see this when we go to Walmart and they have no bricks. Generally speaking though, I can find $50 bricks all day long if I am willing to pay that price for them. This, arguably, is the equilibrium point. Purchasers can find what they are looking for, and sellers are happy to sell it to them at that price.   Now, lets pretend that there wasn't a single person in the whole state of Tennessee that was buying ammo and reselling it. Lets pretend that Walmart keeps their prices at $20 a brick. However, the demand that we are seeing right now is still the same. Thus, it is very likely that anyone that would have paid $50 for a brick are now able to purchase 2.5 bricks for $50. Once again, since Walmart is selling their bricks at a price-point lower than market equilibrium, we have a shortage. However, in this scenario, since the ammo is going straight to the consumers, it is likely that all of this ammo would be shot or stored for usage later by the consumers. Thus, it would arguably be more difficult for you or I to find ammo because those purchasing it from Walmart would be using it.   I can find ammo today simply by going to Gunlistings.org, GunOwnersClub, Armslist, etc. It would be an inflated price from the Walmart price, but truthfully probbaly represents fair market value moreso than the Walmart price.   I don't speak up against re-sellers. I don't do it because I find myself having that "American Picker" mindset sometimes myself. Who hasn't purchased a used item at a great deal a time or two and "flipped it" to make a few bucks? Sure, if someone is going to do it time after time again and supplement their income by doing so, the right (and legal) way to do so would be opening a business, paying income taxes, etc. However, that issue should just as much be solved on the government level as it should be on the re-seller level. Some of you may agree with me and some of you will probably disagree with me, but eliminating the income tax and replacing it with a fair-tax type tax, and then you no longer have to worry about a lot of the "legal restrictions" so to say. However, I don't want to talk much about that in this thread, but perhaps we can talk about potential tax scenarios in another thread.   The bottom line is that, in my opinion, the problem lies not with the re-sellers but with the sellers. If Walmart is going to sell their ammo at below market price, we will see a shortage. All the re-sellers are doing is taking advantage of this gap between the Walmart price and the fair market value price, and while they should be paying income tax on doing so, we know many of them don't. Look in your local classifieds section and see how many of the "skilled labor" workers are paying income taxes on the side work they do.   There certainly is a line somewhere between what is an "honest" way of making a living and an "unethical sleazebag" way of making a living. I am not here to tell anyone where that line is. Lets take the richest person in the world. That person could afford to buy every gallon of gas in an are 500 square miles. Then they could attempt to resale it at a 10% markup. Or they could try for a 100% markup. Sleazy? Yes. Illegal? In some/most cases, probably. However, would the same implications be there if instead of much needed gasoline he were purchasing every single Hot Wheels Car he ever laid eyes on, effectively reducing the supply and then charging 200% for them?   They way I see it, re-sellers are providing a service of some sort. There are many people who either don't want to, don't know how to, or don't even know that you can order ammo from the internet.  Some of these people are the paranoid type who are afraid that purchasing 100 rounds of ammo will put them on a watchlist. You know these people. Some of them are members here. Some of them are reading this post. If you have ever considered "losing" your guns in a boating accident, you are one of these people. Some of them are just the older generation that doesn't order things on the internet. If someone is purchasing ammo on the internet and offering it to these people at a price they are willing to pay, you have equilibrium. Sure, many of these people have a competitive advantage in the fact that they are skipping on their taxes, but it is still equilibrium. You have a guy who made a few bucks, and you have a guy who purchased ammo at a price they were willing to pay. Many of you are wanting to place ammo in a "necessity class" and protect it from being marked up, but ultimately, just like any other good or service, it should go for market value.   The best, and likely only, thing that you can do to lower the price of ammo and eliminate re-sellers is to not support them. I for one do not purchase ammo from them, but I also do not speak out against them.   Also, I find it very ironic that the original purpose of this thread was to notify you of a place you could purchase in online at a reasonable price. If Benton wanted to purchase a bit extra when he could find it at a reasonable price and then help offset the cost of his original purpose, it doesn't bother me. Personally I have met him a few times, I thought he was a standup guy. He's done a few favors for me even though he doesn't know me that well. Last I checked, he has a job. He also has, just like everyone else, bills and a family to feed. I am not one to judge him for supplementing his income by making a few bucks extra a month if he can by buying and reselling ammo. Perhaps that is all that is allowing him to stay afloat? I don't know. Whether he pays appropriate taxes is between him and the IRS/Tennessee. It's just very ironic to me that he was attempting to help TGO'ers out by letting them know about a deal. Should he have removed his posts? Probably not, but who cares? It sounds like he is "out". If he wants to take "his" posts with him, it is an argument that could go either way on.    Just my two cents.

Throw something in there about this being a once in a lifetime opportunity for a really great gun deal, that you would not pass up or even consider passing up the deal, and in no way would you even have considered not fulfilling all requested obligations.   Tell him you are starting to wonder if he is a scammer. Tell him you don't mean to insult him, but it is starting to feel that you have been scammed, as you clearly sent to MO and it has been cashed, yet he is claiming that he never received it.   WooHoo!
