I have always liked the kel-tec sub 2000.

X 2
And with all the 33 round glock mags I have it would immediately be a useful tool without any other purchases needed.
It is b.s. that they hack saw off the bottom of the grip for a G19 mag, instead of actually molding a slightly shorter grip.

Guy at work has one for sale...thinking about it but not so sure yet. I have ZERO 9mm ammo.

Better get into reloading big time if you are using 30 shot mags 

That and become a range gopher and fossick for every spare case you can get your mitts on..

Just stripped down my FN medallist at the weekend - don't think it had been cleaned for over a quarter century.. now I can actualy enjoy the take up and feel the trigger properly.

Also had a new firing pin and recrown job done - sighted it at the w/e and it is shooting very nicely.

If it ever comes back I can get a box of 9mm 115g FMJ for 8.79 from work thanks to our exceptionally low ammo prices plus employee discount.

4 months still waiting for my licence

That is cheap - I used to get bulk discount and the best I ever managed was bout $16 per box for 9mm.

Got a brick of Remington T-22 at the weekend - $92 for .22 LR target ammo.. almost $10 / box. madness.. club ammo is CCI at the moment, just doesnt work for my FN though (not quite enough powder to get the slide back properly every once in a while).

I've got some of my ammo listed on a local gun website. Local pickup only. Selling CCI Mini-Mag ammo for $20/box which is four times what I paid for it. I bought a bunch back when ammo was able to be had relatively easily.

Believe it or not I got a bunch of hits at that price. Thinking about raising the price more.

[Kiwingenuity]

Best score I got was 1400 rounds of R1M1 .308 FMJ (SA made) - $240. ended up selling 5 of the 140 round pouches for $80 each..

I should have bought more, but was a student at the time - would have been a good investment...

[slipperymongoose]

Woohoo final step confirm my identity and I become a licensed shooter

[Janx101]

  ... I'll just .... Err.... Let me just .... Errr (sidles behind nearest mountain) 

[slipperymongoose]

Hey janx let's go for a hunting trip mate. There'll be some shooting, some fishing, some drinking, some eating, some fighting, and some f%$king. And it's just you and me hahahahahahahahahha

Well that would be just 'great'  .... So I get to try to sleep in a thin walled tent while you go around trying to double decker some sheep all night?!?!?! ...

Yeah we'd probably end up fighting..... I get awful grumpy if I can't sleep!, I'd have to drink to try nod off.. Then I'd have a headache ... So I might try fishing waaaaay down by the creek while I have my sandwiches... But I'd still know you were trying to create a slips/merino genetic mutation .. Then I'd have to shoot all the sheep just to save the world!!  ... And hog tie you in the back of the ute for the long trip back to civilisation!! .... 

Who wants photos?!?! 

[slipperymongoose]

If rekkon you'd see a cockroach and knock yourself out on a branch

The ****? I haven't bought ammo for the past 6 months, has the price seriously gotten that high?

[noworries]

Fair questions, Janx.  I used to shoot animals.....kangaroos, rabbits and a fox or two. But one day, a long time ago, I stopped. Reason? I guess I realised that I didn't want to hurt animals anymore than I wanted to hurt people. And over the years I've put my eating habits into  gear with my brain and become vegetarian. So that's me.

There's a shortage of .22LR ammo, and Mini-Mag ammo is the hardest to find. Supply and demand as they say. Store prices haven't really gone up thankfully.

That's cool.... I used to shoot also.... But the interest faded when it became just too damn hard to find a responsible/trouble free hunting partner....

I'm not a 'veggie' though... Nor a strict carnivore... I prefer OMNIvore.... I'll eat just about anything!!! ... Cept eggplant/aubergine and licorice/anything that tastes like licorice ... Blecchy!! Oh and most soy products and tofu ... Soy 'meat',  tofu and eggplant give me indigestion/heartburn ... 

[noworries]

Spot on, Janx, I have to confess that vegetarianism - despite all the sexy cook books and recipe stiff - is furging boring long-time.
I often ride past a big housing complex on the bike on weekend evenings, and I gotta say that the aroma of sizzling sausages and the steaks is pure torture for me!

[Janx101]

Ok ... This is going to wander way off topic...

Not gonna try to sway your wish for vegetarian diet / no harm to animals ... That's your choice and free will to change at any point... And I don't really know if you have a house and yard or flat/unit/apartment or what .. So the following may be useful or not.. Or parts of it useful.. I dunno

But you say steak and sausages hits you hard... So .. As a concept... Have you ever watched any of the "River Cottage" series .. British show .. Bloke used to be in the rat race in London 15 years ago?... Decided to escape to the country and simple/sustainable living .. And got involved with the tv somehow.... So it's been a long running thing with several permutations/twists/directions over the years...

Anyway ... He has tried normal diet, veg diet, only seafood and veg diet and a couple other fusions too ...

When he does eat pretty much any type of meat or seafood or veg/fruit ... It's all from what he has raised himself or grown .. Or traded for with similar type people .. Or wild harvest style thing

He keeps .. At times... Cows, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese..... Catches heaps of different fish or collects shellfish ...

Everything is done sustainably and humanely ... With his own stock animals he often says that while the flavours are undeniably better ... He also feels more at peace with the world because he knows his animals/birds have been treated with kindness , fed well, kept in ideal 'as possible' conditions... So when it comes time to 'collect' the meats he sees it as more of a fair transaction..

Given a few years I intend to try and follow some or most of his methods... It's a bit hard to raise stock at a rental house though! ... So a paddock or so are required... Or at least for fowl a reasonable yard and no restrictive landlord!

There are groups around that do farmers markets too... And with a few questions you can often determine if there is meat available that has been 'responsibly treated' ...

Just on your torture by meat smells.... While your choice is veggie ... Your brain is still thinking meat? .. Given a opportunity to obtain 'cared about' meat would that salve your conscience ? ...

I know when I go to fruit market or supermarket ... Sometimes around the veg OR meat areas ... I smell a 'SMELL' ... My brain recognises that at some level , something producing that smell has something my body needs... Could be a mango, a plum, spinach , a pork chop , bacon , pumpkin or whatever... Even sometimes just a fresh herb.... I ALWAYS get something of that 'smell' .... And yeah sometimes people look at me funny.... Cos I will be walking along and stop! . ... Turn around and flare my nostrils to go hunting for the smell... Lean over the veg and sniff sniff sniff.. Till I find it... Must look a bit funny 'from the outside' .... But when I get it home.. Prepare it however needed and eat it... Often there is almost a little 'spung' noise in my head.... As brain ticks off the filled 'requirement' ...

Morals or willpower aside .. I just don't understand how many people deny themselves a little bit of something that is good for them food wise... It just causes extra stress...

This is all just 'trying to be objective' about things I hope

Back on guns, I hope some raccoons move back into the neighborhood for mating season. I'm ready for them this year.

Be glad to freeze one and mail except you gotta clean it.

I think a 22 1000fps air gun should do the job. It is that or let my koi get eaten again.
