Here’s the Bushnell release.

12/16/2022

I get questions all the time about optics. It’s a very fluid subject.

A lot of folks feel that Bushnell was a Walmart special. I can tell you they are not.

This is their newest departure. Bushnell is a serious optics manufacturer that has a fantastic lineup. I have built a good number of AR’s with their AR optic scopes.

Give this a read.

With enhancements to the original, the new Match Pro ED 5-30x56 FFP riflescope from Bushnell offers both short and long-range performance.

I have two Sig P322’s inbound and they are equipped with these.

& Post Next Post Coming Soon...▶ Pistol optics are the thing these days. And not just in “tactical,” duty, or home defense size guns. Optics-readiness is increasingly a feature that people who carry everyday want in their pistol and gun makers have responded to the demand. Just ab...

Here’s a super hard one to find. For my Sig Sauer fans, and for 90’s movie goers, this is the pistol, (this is a newer variant) that Clint Eastwood carried in the movie In the Line of Fire. Eastwood played Special Agent Frank Horrigan, of the US Secret Service. At that time the USSS was issued the Sig P228. Also for my NY cops, the Nassau County PD also issued this pistol as well. This is the P229, or the M11. It was brought back by Sig for a government SOC military contract. The original pistol was 13 plus 1 of 9mm and had a slightly different frame. This frame is beefier and meets the new design requirements. I saw it at SHOT about 3 to 5 years ago (?) and I am JUST NOW seeing them available for the civilian market.

Comes with 3 magazines, night sights and it’s 15 plus 1 now instead of 13 plus 1, but in the same compact size.

I asked for 5 of these and got only one.

But I have it in stock and you can have it in your safe really quickly. If this was an option for me when I was still in uniform, I would have carried this in a second. Absolutely outstanding pistol. The P228 has always been one of my favs. Now, it’s the M11.

Call me for details.

As promised, 22-250 is back in VERY limited quanties. I have Hornady 55 grain SP Interlock (soft point) and Hornady 55 grain Vmax. (Polymer tip)

Made on new PPU brass right here in South Dakota by my strategic partner, Dakota Prairie Ammunition.

I have 13 boxes total, first come first serve. 20 round boxes.

55 Grain SP is 💲38 per box and 55 Grain VMax is 💲39.75 per box. All 20 round boxes. These were pressed and made yesterday.

Please call the shop number or text at 605-705-6155 to get yours. The demand for 22-250 is off the rails this year. We are running more of this tonight until we run out of primers. Which is very soon.

Ammo.

Here is a nice deal on 9mm from me at Dakota Defense.

9mm 115 grain, 1000 round case, 💲325 to your door. Includes shipping. I have two of these left. If you want lesser quantities of 250/500/750 rounds, let me know and I will get it together for you.

Ships to the lower 48 for this price. I don’t have an export license so I can’t send it out of the country. If you want it to AK or HI I will find a way!

Ammo, considering the shortages and all that over the last 2 years has never been more plentiful. (On some things)

***if you find the 1000 round case, with tax/shipping/extras IN STOCK anywhere else for less, send me that screenshot, and I will price match it after I verify that is the same as this ammo***

Palmetto State Armory.

I have been a dealer for PSA almost since the first day of business back a few years ago.

I have a stack of these lowers coming in next week. They are the price you see them, which is the same price as you would pay coming to me directly.

Now, a few things about ordering direct from PSA as opposed to going direct to me:

When you order a serial numbered item, it MUST go to a licensed dealer for transfer to you. There is a transfer fee of $30 per item. If you order 5 for instance, you added $150 to your bill. I can save you that $ anytime, since you won’t ever get a shipping cost from me, (on local pickup) and from PSA that charge averages about $17.

Now, for uppers and build kits I can usually do just as good or better than PSA. Even on the free shipping specials.

Plus, cash discount for any purchase made with cash, check, Venmo, CashApp. We don’t use PayPal anymore or Zelle.

So, if you’d like PSA lowers, stripped in this case or assembled and completed, I have stacks of build kits for rifle and pistol. I don’t charge to assemble them through the end of the year. There has not been a better time to get in on this. I also have uppers to make your build into a complete rifle. For less than doing it yourself or buying a complete rifle or pistol AR. Just call me or text me and ask. I can have it done usually same day and into your hands.

I also have stripped lowers and parts from Alex Pro Fi****ms and Aero Precision and also Del-Ton. Remember, a lower receiver is just for your trigger and magazine, stock and grip. The rubber hits the road on the upper. (I have those too)

You can always send me a screenshot of anything you want to order from PSA and I can handle it for you. Of course I guarantee the best customer service and I know the technical ins and outs, if you have questions on the build side or the legal/regulatory side.

So, I still have some of these not spoken for, give me a call and order yours.

Ta**us.

Speaking of a company that has stepped up its game. Making far better guns than years ago and new models all the time.

This one is called the GX4. 9mm, with 11 plus 1 and 13 plus 1 capacity. This was just named gun of the year by the NASGW. The national association of sporting goods wholesalers. That’s a pretty big deal.

This example is in stock and has a tungsten Cerakote slide. It’s 100% made in the US in Bainbridge, GA.

It’s actually a very cool little pistol and I think it’s definitely a winner from Ta**us. Yours for under 💲350.

The R***r EC9s.

Both in 9mm with 7 plus 1 capacity. I have a couple of the black ones and one of the FDE/tan ones. What’s nice about these is the smooth design of the trigger, since it’s striker fired and there aren’t really any sharp edges on it. Has actually usable sights on the slide that are machined into the slide. Easy takedown, at a price that pretty much anyone can afford for a deep concealment pistol. One can be yours (or more than one) for under 💲300

Probably one of the finest, if not THE nicest production target 22 made. This is the Smith and Wesson Model 41. Factory 5 inch barrel, comes with five magazines and a trigger that gauges out around 2.5 pounds or so. Came out of the box for verification and photos and into the vault it went, waiting for it’s forever home.

This is the first one I have ever had as they are exceedingly hard to find. 💲1500.

For lightweight and deep concealment…which should always be the goal…the Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard 38 fits the job description.

38 special is very tough to beat as a defense caliber. Even with all the perceived limitations, it is still essentially a short 357 magnum with a good powder charge behind it.

In this example, as well as a J frame sized revolvers from S&W, capacity is 5 shots. Uses all standard J frame speedloaders and holsters as well as my favorite, the Bianchi speed strip, for fast reloads. In this case, the cylinder release is on the back strap, which for me anyway, feels more natural. A soft rubber grip and this is the non laser model. Very lightweight on this revolver due to the polymer frame and lightweight parts. The barrel and cylinder are all steel.

An excellent choice all around. And we have one.

Speaking of Rimfire…

We can talk about fun guns that can be found in the center console of the farm truck, in the safe or on the hip. This is the birds head grip model of the Heritage 22. This one has a 3.5 inch barrel, comes with BOTH 22 LR and 22 magnum cylinders. Great for teaching, shooting cans, plinking and pest control. For under 200 bones, you can’t go wrong. With a rebate going on, you can get this for under dealer cost with the rebate.
