Good price and Prvi is top notch ammo, but so many ranges won't let you shoot it (indoor and outdoor) that I'll probably skip it.

When you post a HOT deal on a gun,,, if a person buys it to kill himself, would you feel bad??

Gun is treated special here because it's Directly associated with death..

For example you could argue One can smash his own face in with a computer screen, but that's ridiculously unlikely..

Yes, I am somewhat anti-firearms. Sorry....

This post violates Hot Deals' forum policy, please read the sticky:

No thread crapping. If the subject matter of a deal does not interest you, do not post negative comments about it, or about other members, in the thread.

Hot Deals is not a forum for thread crapping, move on ...


Great deal on ammo, but I'm fairly certain the ranges I use don't allow it. :( Still.. for that price .. might be nice to save for the zombie invasion.

Hot deal, OP! You may not be able to use it at the range, but at least you'll be able to put down all the zombie cops wearing vests after the Zompocalypse :)

AV1611 out.....

Of course you could always go for the head shot, but the torso is a much bigger target :)

Judging by his name (imported_*), I would say he is a victim of the forum transfer (some users had their post count reset). AV1611, do you want me to try and fix your name? This offer goes out to all of our imported_* friends that might be reading this.

Yes, please. I'm a domestic kind of guy. Imports are often expensive and high maintenance.

Good price on good ammo. I don't understand why some ranges don't allow steel ammo other than they cannot use/resell the brass.

steel backplates for indoor ranges, the steel ammo rips it to shreds or riccochets like a beast. at least around here for outdoor ranges if they are in or near a residential (as the ones I go to are) they are worried it could possibly go through the dirt backstop and just continue to fly. i know it sounds ridiculous but they have to think of every possible scenario. but i usually shooting somewhere in the mountains so i dont have to worry about what i shoot

Well, with indoor ranges it can punch through their backstop or at least beat the snot out of it. Outdoor ranges claims it messes up their backstops as well but most of the outdoor ranges I've seen have HUGE backstops (the one I shoot at frequently it essentialy up against the side of a hill that's at least 50 meters thick)...methinks some are just ancy.

And I'd probably look elsewhere for zombie defense ammo...steel core doesn't fragment very well, them undead dudes won't even feel it!

Not so good for zombies, better for persons wearing soft body armor.
