Thats a bit irrelevant to my point, but People should always test new ammo thru their firearms though.

Keep the ammo you trust to protect yourself, family and property at home, buy Plinking ammo separately so you don’t just have 1 FMJ left to protect yourself when something goes down.

I guess i forget not everyone keeps a surplus of ammo around and keeps track of what they have. If im taking a box of hollows to the range you can bet there is atleast 4 more boxes in my safe. I also keep my carry mags seperate from my range mags. So, if im not testing new ammo. Out comes the loaded carry mags and in goes the range mags. Then when packing up back in goes the carry mags. No reason not to be strapped coming and going to the range. Danger is everywhere.

Thats another point that should be made as well. You should test your mags for proper funtion before using them for carry. And only use mags that you know have never malfuntioned. I tend to buy cheap mags for the range and quality mags for carry. No reason to chance anything.

You should train with what you carry. I’m summer I carry low recoil low flash rounds and the gun reacts way different than my winter +p or +p+ rounds. Anyone that carries fmj for defense unless deep in a spare mag is foolish. Over penetration is a real issue. Granted if you’re shooting someone and are on the right side of the law doing so they would get charged with someone getting hit by your round. Don’t know about you but not facing charges isn’t the end of it, you still have to live with the fact little Suzie caught your fmj in the side of her head. I personally keep 1000 rounds for every caliber I own except the 50 BMG that shit is just to damn expensive lol for that I only have 700gr steel core penetrator rounds. Yeah I know not the most legal rounds for a civilian but if that thing is coming out of the safe we’re beyond the point of giving a damn about legality. I also have several “ghost” guns built from 80% frames. The 1911 and glock were a pain to mill but the ar versions are cake and all perfectly legal as long as I don’t sell them or give them away. If you’re prepping for a shtf situation I’d recommend having something in every NATO caliber as it will be the blue helmets that come and after putting a few holes in that helmet you can use their ammo

If you think it’s bad now, just wait till sniffer joe and heels up Harris get in office. Especially after Joe gets removed via the 25th. Both are gun control advocates and always have been

I agree with ya 100. The only thing i have built from 80 frames is ar and they are easy peasy. Drill press, router and a jig. Couple hours of work taking your time to do it right.

I did mine on a bridgeport lol did a few that day. Takes about 45 min with a proper mill. The 1911 took a lot of filling and lapping to get the clearances perfect on the slide.

Why does one that wishes to be prepared and knows what’s coming in January have to be a nutcase? I’m still looking for 9mm and .40 but I’m not gonna bash someone for beating me to it

Something bad could always be on the way. The only nutcase is someone who doesn’t think you should be prepared, or the one that thinks that being prepared is having 3 extra packages of toilet paper!

Lol who needs tp, that’s what the neighbor’s little yapping ass dog is for lol. If a few rolls of TP is prepped then I went way overboard. Got 1000 rounds for every rifle caliber I own, hunting 9mm and.40 so I can at least have a few hundred each of those, everyone in the house has 2 2000 gallon life straws, water purification tabs, 10 days of MREs each, and 3 of those 30 day survival food buckets, first aid kit that would make a paramedic jealous, 500 500mg penicillin, 500 875mg amoxicillin, 500 ciproflaxin, injectable antibiotics, suture and staple kits, and that’s just what I can think of off the top of my head lol. I use the line from the movie shooter all the time " I’m just a pecker Wood that lives in the woods with to many guns".
