I got my 1851 back. They tuned it up after replacing the bolt spring and cleaned up the scratches I put on it trying to get it apart. I'm happy!

"The P210 will be offered in two varieties to start out: a target version for about $1,350 and a standard version for around $1,200. The main difference: the target version will have some nicer grips and a longer barrel."

Holy shit. That's a fuckton of ammo.
not really
at last count I had roughly 30,000 rounds of .22lr

I've made centerfire orders bigger than that
[QUOTE=butre;49567609]at last count I had roughly 30,000 rounds of .22lr[/QUOTE]
So it's you
And to think, due to people who camp outside the ammo stores, I'm now down to 400 rounds of 22lr... I mean I can find it, but I refuse to pay 80 bucks for 550 rounds...
[QUOTE=Uberslug;49567819]So it's you[/QUOTE]
nah, I just buy a bulk pack every two weeks or so, and buy faster than I shoot. it's taken about 6 years to collect that much

they stopped doing that around here ages ago. wal mart still never has any .22 but all the local gun shops and sporting goods places like academy have it at normal non-gouged prices.
I've given up on 22lr. Now that I can reload, it is much more appealing than scrounging around for 22s. Particularly when I can make 44 magnums for 1/5 of the price of boxed ammo.
I need to get into reloading more than just shotshells. 12 gauge is stupid easy to reload with no tools other than a dowel and a powder measure
[QUOTE=butre;49568076]I need to get into reloading more than just shotshells. 12 gauge is stupid easy to reload with no tools other than a dowel and a powder measure[/QUOTE]
Start with 38's. Everyone races to get rid of 38 special shells and it takes a little less powder to make over other calibers. Plus with the revolver, no need to chase brass.
I've already got an old pre-1919 S&W M&P that can't handle modern +P so that might be a good idea
I can't hand them my money fast enough...

I think they'll be good. Sigs really upped their game with the legion series as well as their new optics and accessories. They've thrown away the abortion that was sigtac and for the most part let the P250 to rest.
I still want to get an authentic swiss one, but this will have to do for my budget.

UncleJimmema, my SHOT 2014 bro! *fist bump*
I'd rather have Sig USA bring back the 550 line. That's something I'd throw money at.
Speaking of SHOT, the Hickok45 clan are giants:

I hope it's closer to the European one than the US-made 226. I looked at a P226 at a gun shop the other day, and there is a noticeable difference in the feel and finish of a US-made one versus my all-German-made one.

There will always be a difference in quality. The US guns will always be inferior to the originals because the guns would be too costly if it were to match the Euro standards. Even the US Sig 551a1 Classic was a rattly AK compared to the import Sig551.
Unfortunately, cost is what prevents S&W and Colt from reclaiming their old glory days of the wheel guns with recessed cylindars and pinned barrels.
They're both about 6'8-6'9 I believe. Massive individuals

Aww man I want it so badly.
Read a post on sigforum from a guy who shot both of the new US P210s and he says they're every bit as good as the German ones. I'm just hoping that holds true over the whole production run.

Colion's just a midget, is all. :v:
All these new guns at SHOT make me kind of sad that I probably won't be buying anything anytime soon.

Just gives them time to work out the kinks and get the first generation through production before you buy.

Well it's not just being an early adopter that I'm worried about. Being deployed puts a damper on my ability to enjoy my purchases. Also my wife is starting to curb my spending habits now that we're trying to start a family.

Look on the bright side, least you'll have all that sweet deployment money to burn on firearms when you get back

God yes I want a 551
