I just came from Fleet Farm here in Wausau and they have added 2 more pistol cases. (from 2 to 4 sections now) There was even a spot labled DRACO 7.62X39 pistol for $499 The holster selection was pretty big too. 30 rd ar15 mags are on sale for $8.99 this week Not a single Fleet Farm in WI has them in stock yet. The warehouse is waiting on the shipment from Century. |

I went to my local FF yesterday to pick up some stuff and hoping to see if they carried the M&P Shield. No such luck.

The gun counter has been busy every time I've stopped in. Ammo flying off the shelves according to my kids buddy who works there in Sporting Goods. I feel the rush is upon us.

I'm just happy that fleet farm is happy to feed us junkies. The "no handguns" and "handgun ammo behind glass, then in a stapled baggie" was f-ing nuts. |

Moving the pistol ammo out where people can get it has obviously worked well for them, now all they have to do is get some in stock, was at 4 Fleet Farms yesterday looking for hornady critical defense 9mm and none had it in stock and they all had very little defensive carry ammo in any calibers. |

Pretty sure Point and Waupaca have it in stock....I was at Point yesterday looking for .45. I can check on my lunch break if you'd like (few miles down the road from the office) |

A buddy of mine picked up a couple of cases of M193 when they were on sale for $300.
He got a raincheck for 4 more cases. It came back in stock a couple of weeks ago and they wouldn't honor the raincheck for the sale price. Why even issue a raincheck? They upped their price by $30, so it would have cost him $120 more for the 4 cases. The manager said $300 was not the sale price so they would not take the raincheck. |

With the 48 hour wait, and cost of gas and your time, you might as well be buying from your local gander if you have to make a special trip to a dealer.

Yup... got several local choices. Good prices, too, at the one I've been dealing with (as low, or lower than FF's "sale" prices), so it's really a non-issue for me. Bought my Kahr CM9 there, and a NIB Ruger Blackhawk also. But, being a "mom & pop" type store, he sometimes can't even get guns that bigger, high-volume, chain stores can. For example, I've been waiting for a Ruger SR22 pistol for 3 months. He's had 10 ordered since early Feb., but when the distributors get some, they all go to the "big guys". With my luck he'll get some next week, and now I don't have the cash.... I sat on the money for 4 months, then got tired of waiting and spent it last week on a good deal on a used shotgun I came across (Browning BPS 12ga Waterfowl, in full factory Mossy Oak Shadow Grass camo... appears unfired). |

Do any Farm and Fleets carry guns, or just the Fleet Farms, because almost everywhere I go in the state, just coincidentally, I guess, just is near F&F stores only?
I wish F&F would wake up and smell the gun sales/accessories/ammo profits, that they're losing out on to their competition. |

I've read from Dr. Roberts that 147gr. is the least effective 9mm Gold Dot.
(Not that I would like to volunteer!) 124gr. +P is supposed the have the best terminal results. Gold Dots in general are very consistent and retain much of their weight, (and all of their jacket), after expansion. 
The forum we aren't allowed to mention has a great sub-section for terminal ballistics. |

Most of my self defense handguns don't have adjustable sights. Therefore, I let the gun "choose" the ammo it shoots most accurately (bullet weight usually decides accuracy, more so than brand). If two brands shoot the same weight bullets equally well, only then do I get into "terminal ballistics". For me, accuracy is #1 priority.
For example, in 9mm, my Kahr CM9 is dead-nuts accurate with 147gr bullets.... brand doesn't matter much, but bullet weight certainly does. 115gr bullets shoot way too low, 124grs are low too, but not as bad as 115s... but 147s are right on. OTOH, my Glocks (17 & 19) are more accurate with lighter/faster bullets. Glocks are loaded with 115gr Gold Dots, Kahr carries Fiocci 147s (factory loads with Hornady XTP bullets). In .45ACP, my full size Colt Govt is dead on with 230gr bullets, but hits low with 185s. But with my Springfield Ultra Compact V10, the differance between 185s & 230s is negligible. Gold Dot 230s is my favorite for both because they're the most accurate, but I also have a few mags for the V10 loaded with Winchester 185 Silvertips. The 185s have less recoil making for faster/accurate followup shots. |
