  1. Both.
  2. I love ‘em. Have them exclusively for my 300BO in subsonic. Excellent round.
  3. What do y’all know about Stoccatos? Was at Top Gun picking up my sups today and they were all excited that they had just signed a contract with them to carry their guns. Spent about 15 min with them showing me all the different models they had. Rented one of the smaller versions with a red dot on it and shot 50 rounds through it. Was very smooth and very balanced. Don’t know if it’s worth the almost 3k price tag but certainly felt better than my p226
  4. Dead Air .22 on the right (I think it’s called a Mask, if I recall) Q trash panda on the left GSL Phoenix for my SP5 still in jail
  5. Xmas in May. 2 suppressors free from ATF jail. Filed in June and August. Still have one that I’m waiting on that I submitted with e-forms in December. So much for the 90 days or less bullshit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. After 3 months finally showed up at Briley’s 20ga, 28” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. But he’s absolutely correct. 24 hours later and I still can’t wrap my head around why in the fuck you or anyone else would not just debadge, but underbadge. It was a horrible decision and if you don’t put the original badges back on, just leave the Tristar. And this is coming from an AMG owner. It makes zero sense. Congrats, you can beat some other fast cars on the line and people will think you put NOS or some other shit under the hood of your v6 350 like people do with their shitty rice burners that can destroy a McLaren off the line. SMH.
  8. Frankly, that’s pretty fucking stupid. Any MB fans who know can just look at the exhaust pipes and know what you have.
  9. Meridian Defense. $$$
  10. Ammo probably harder to get than the gun. Haven’t seen any at Academy except one box a month ago
  11. Skeet, primarily
  12. Don’t ask me how I got this, but good luck to those of you in the market for a luxury brand. Markups. This is from a major player. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Starting to look for shotgun shells. 20 gauge very hard to come by except in slugs. The academy above had boxes of Monarch but I generally consider them a trash brand only good enough to run through my AK. Their shotgun shells any good or nah?
  14. Academy at Voss/Westheimer was flush yesterday. Tons of 556/9mm/45. About 8 boxes of Hornady 6.5CM and shitload of 300 BO but only 6 boxes of SubX subsonic. I nabbed 4 of them. Too lazy to go back in and grab the other 2
  15. FDE or black?
  16. Emailed Joel Etchen guns about the difference between the two silver pigeon models referenced above. This was their response: ”The only mechanical difference between the new models (with rounded laser checkering) is they have Optima Bore HP barrels vs the signature model having Mobil barrels.” anyone of you know anything about either of these barrels?
  17. I like large format prints Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Any thoughts on the new 9mm Canik Rival? Have no need for one, but have no real need for my 12 or so other ones either
  19. I got one of those Slonem bunnies ones my wife wanted forever because seemingly every River Oaks family has one. Fucking bunnies. 30k got 2 pieces from an artist in Puerto Rico who’s work I love (Quetzalcoatl). Will post pics when I get off the couch. Maybe.
  20. Academy on Kirby/59 has loads of 556/9mm. So much so that they have surplus on a different shelf. 6.5CM and 300 BO though is a desert
  21. I’ve watched about 10 of his videos. He knows his shit. If you look at the laser checkering on the both the stock and the handguard it’s rounded versus sharp (inverted triangle) on the previous Gen. Again, have no idea if there’s really any other technological advancements from their higher end lines that made it into this release. Just something I noticed about the available inventory of the Etchen guns
  22. I’d be lying if I told you I remember her name, but it was a female who sounded like she knew what she was talking about. Checked out those Etchen 687 referenced above. Sound very intriguing given the better wood and second barrel but from the inventory I saw, it looks like all they have available is the previous Gen Silver Pigeon 3 and not current. Can tell by the laser engraving of the wood. Don’t know if it really matters or not, tbh
  23. She didn’t give me an exact number. I’m not necessarily in any rush to buy, so just left my info with her. She said it could be 1-2 months for what it’s worth.
  24. Appreciate the responses. Dad had a 20ga SA that we used to shoot skeet with when I was younger (don’t recall the manufacturer as I was a teenager then and didn’t really care). setting my eyes on the Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon III in 20 ga. What’s with the different barrel lengths from 28-32”? Figured a 28” was standard size for a regular sized dude. Put my name on the wait list at Briley’s. Can’t wait. Went looking for ammo at Academy today. Jack shit
  25. For the time being, I think I’m flush on rifles and handguns. Looking at getting some (maybe 1-3 for me and the boys) 12ga O/U. Will be mostly used for shooting skeet with the possibility of future dove/quail/pheasant hunting. Really don’t know much about different wood grains/quality but would like for this to be an heirloom piece so nice wood and a receiver with some nice scroll work would be nice. But, I’ll end up engraving something on it too when I give it to the boys. Price range is 2-4k. Was intrigued by the Benelli 828U. Any pros/cons? Any alternatives you guys would recommend?
