Re: wtt for a nice 1911

Buds has XDMs as low as $550. Also, depends on what the OP considers a "nice" 1911. Well cared for guns usually don't lose much value (however...polymer guns should IMHO :tiphat: ). Well cared for instruments do lose value unfortunately (I'm a 20+ year drummer). I'm guessing a used Ibanez ...

Re: ammo on sale

Walmart in Kemah (FM-518 and TX-146) had plenty of 9mm in several varieties. They also have .40 Winchester and .357, no .45 though. Academy in League City has Monarch 9mm and Remington .45 in hundred packs ($48). No .380 anywhere.

Re: ammo on sale

Was hoping to head to the range tomorrow, but once again .45 is no where to be found in the clear lake area! What the heck, I thought we were past all the shortages?!!

Re: Texas City Gun Range - Posting ???

I got the same terse treatment at Texas City range and I've seen others get it there and at Clear Creek as well. I was surprised when I went to Marksman this weekend and saw the signs on the front doors that said "all guns must be unloaded and actions open, CHL holders are exempt". Just in...

Re: Marksman Range Report

Me and a group of friends went yesterday and it was more than worth the drive. I live in League City (less than 3 miles from Clear Creek Gun Range) and it sure beats the local outdoor ranges...It's much cheaper too. $8...they don't charge by the gun and only charge for targets. The 4 of the $1 silho...

Re: first time 1911 owner

Stick with it and put another couple hundred rounds through it to see if it grows on you. They're bigger and less ergonomic than most modern handguns. If you're still not comfortable and not hitting your marks after a few hundred rounds (compared to your more familiar firearm) no sense and keeping i...

Re: Another Joe Horn Type Shooting In Houston

The suspects may have been stealing a car, but I don't think that gives him the right to shoot them for it. I know many people who feel like this, and I don't fault them for their humanist viewpoint. Sure, we can say it's only a car and it shouldn't cost someone their life. But, I don't want to liv...

Re: Used guns seem to cost almost like new ones.Comments?

I've noticed that used prices were somewhat higher...I just figured it was a sign of the Obama times. I've bought a couple of used guns and had very good luck. A bit cheaper, no sales tax and almost no paperwork hassle. Don't even get me started on Pawn shops. I've seen some beat up abused guns in t...

Re: ammo on sale

Just called around to the Academy's in my area and the one in Webster has .45 Monarch. The Pasadena and South Houston stores have Monarch and WWB 100 packs in stock.

Re: ammo on sale

Not on the south side. The Academy in League City/Webster is still without any hand gun ammo. All the walmarts too.
