Brad B. reports that if you contact Brownells with your instructor ID that you can receive their gunsmith/dealer pricing. It is significant and they have a lot of stuff!

Thanks to Brad B. for this price list. Looks like they went up a little but still great deals on a great optic (got a 556A65 last year myself).

I know this strays into the realm of politics and that is not the focus of this blog (I have another one for that), but really:

Why is the AP suing to get the list of gun owners?
What legitimate purpose do they have?

What is they do...publish, right?
hmm..
Think about it.

Have you guys heard of SwampFoxGunWorks.com?

They have been getting excellent reviews for providing full power 10mm (and other calibers). Several people on various forums have confirmed SwampFox's velocity #'s which are amazing. I just ordered some myself.

Check out this 10mm 200gr XTP load @ 1325fps!

(WARNING: For supported chamber pistols only!)

For those pistols without a fully supported chamber like Glocks and quite a few 1911's I got this load:
10mm 200gr XTP @ 1240fps (still smoking!) I got a box of this too for my Colt Delta Elite.

I have been looking for a "thumper" woods load for camping/hiking/etc. And have selected this 200gr JFP (full power 1325fps). Again WARNING: For supported chamber pistols only!)
http://www.swampfoxgunworks.com/swampfox/product.php?productid=17721&cat=386&page=1

These loads are exactly why I bought a pair of S&W 1006's!

They offer 5 round packs so that you can try the ammo, and will custom load to your specs!
They also offer other calibers like 45ACP+P and 357magnum. I am a big Hornady XTP fan, but they do offer other popular bullets too (Golden Saber, SilverTip, Gold Dot, etc).

Can't wait to try it out! (More info to come later)
I am not affiliated, just a big fan of full power ammo.

Man, I am a sucker for 357magnums and cool action shots. This is from the Coonan Arms website - the premier semi-auto 357magnum pistol. Yes, 357magnum not 357Sig or any other scaled down round.

This pistol is awesome! I don't have one......yet.
I need to save my pennies!

This is a great revolver, I got one a few years back when RSR had exclusive distribution of them. Supposedly, they were (1) made from spare parts that S&W (a registered trademark that I am not affiliated with) had found stockpiled, (2) left over from a police dept. overrun. Who knows? But they were one of the first J-frame Airweights (not J-magnum frame) to be released (relreleased) without the SafTHammer lock. Mine is factory DAO with a bobbed hammer. It is stamped 37-2. Some were stamped "+P" while some were not.

Please contact your State Senator and ask them to support HB1016.

SB5112 - it needs to be pulled from committee and read again for floor vote. It has already passed Judiciary Committee. It has to in the next week or so, or it will be dead in committee. . It needs to be pulled for a Senate floor vote.

The State House has already passed it (HB1016) with only 4 dissenting votes.

This bill will bring the current laws in line with Federal code and allow usage in addition to just possession.
I would also like to remind folks that no legally registered NFA suppressor has ever been used in a crime.

Even local local law enforcement support it:

GALCO INSTRUCTOR PROGRAM FORM

While not an NRA Instructor Discount per se they do offer discounts for NRA Members, LEO's, and military. Every instructor should be an NRA Member and therefore eligible.

From their FAQ page:

"What about the NRA discount, do you offer any other discounts?
Answer:

Here's the deal on the discounts we offer and how to redeem them.

We offer LEO's, Military and NRA members a 10% discount.

Discounts may not be "stacked", no double dipping.

NRA members must be current members.

LEO's and Military may be active, retired or reserve.

To redeem the 10% discount, you need to type your code in the coupon box when you check out. Whether it's on the phone or in the shopping cart, the discount must be redeemed at the time of the order.

As of 09/01/09 we will not go back and do discounts retro-actively.

We just don't have the time to chase them down. It's your responsibility to redeem it correctly.

NRA members, your code is "NRA" and you must give your membership number in the additional instructions box when you checkout or over the phone if calling the order in.
