It seems like the great ammo shortage of 2026 is kind of a dud. Not much issue getting what I need lately, except for maybe Blazer brass 124gr which I am buying less of anyway. I'm trying to move to Winchester white box due to the Blazer not-for-ported-barrels-or-suppressors issue which hasn't really affected me yet.

I actually feel like I have enough ammunition these days, except maybe 12 gauge. I also haven't had the itch to buy anything new lately, I have enough stuff to keep clean and play with right now I guess. Thinking about getting a nicer auto knife just for the heck of it, because we can in my state. I daily carry a Swiss Army knife. It's not easy to whip out and slash a throat or a piece of cord when seconds matter ;)
9mm has been pretty much at pricing levels it has been for a while. I missed out on some deals for subsonic 300 blackout but at least I'm seeing occasional deals. Where I'm disappointed is with 223/556. Prices haven't dropped and seem to have increased some. I've been waiting to see if prices will drop below $400 for a 1000 rounds but that seems to be wishful thinking. Still bugs me that I remember paying just over $300 for a 1000 round case of 223 a few years ago.

Blazer not for ported barrels? I only have 1 ported 9mm but never heard of this.

7.62x39 still seems impossible to find due to Russia v Ukraine war :help:
My first long range pistol day. Qualified at 100 but only got 3 out of 10 at 200 yards.
First time having my Ruger GP100 .357 6 inch at anything longer than 50 ft.

Awesome :bulge:
200 yards?! Woah! I thought only Hickok45 was able to use iron sites to reach out like that!
I have a few wheel guns myself…. I have a very nice Smith 19-6 snub nose, a Smith Nite Guard with a scandium frame, and lastly, a Smith Performance Center 686 that I like a lot. The nite guard, I’ll admit it, it zings a little using 158 grain full house magnum rounds, so mainly use 38 special and every now and again, I load up the cylinder with 38 +p for fun so I can hang onto my man card. That old Model 19, the bluing is perfect so it’s my polishing gun with a tube of Flitz….:D

I've got a S&W 629 classic in .44 mag I'll be taking out next time. I didn't know what to expect first time out so I had a full assortment - GP100, Security 9, P365 and MkII.
Ended up shooting only the .357.
Long range pistol is last Friday of every month so I've got time to practice and get my sights adjusted.

I probably wouldn't do very well with my pimp gun :D

My Stribog SP9A3S compared to my buddy's Kuna. Pretty similar design language.

Are these basically Sig MPX/CZ Scorpion clones?

Basically. Seems like many manufacturers are offering a PCC nowadays. My buddy had his MPX that day too, but we forgot to add it to the photo.

Got it, I mean no disrespect. I have a CZ Scorpion and to me I got it because it was like a half price MPX. So I didn't know that the market for these types of guns has grown to include new offerings.

The kuna is a pistol. One on top looks like sbr since it doesn’t look like a brace and it has a vertical fore grip.

No worries. Yea the market has definitely increased for the PCC. In just the last year or so we've seen new additions to the market including the Springfield Kuna, Taurus RPC, Matador Mat9, Nexus Evo, S&W FPC, Panzer ARP9, and probably a couple others I've missed.

Yea the Kuna is a pistol with a brace. I just recently SBR'd my Stribog as well as my 300BLK AR....

I run my optic way up front on my sbr but loving that blk
they're not vertical grips. there's a slight cant to them.

i've been researching kuna and stribog lately trying to figure out which is the softest shooting one. i need to go find someone local with each one to test.

but my ancient sbr'd sig mpx that i had the barrel cut down to 5" (with an 8" handguard) and a dedicated thread on suppressor has been a very soft and reliable shooter.

The "not-vertical" vertical grip on the bottom one, who makes it?

They are both Bravo Company Mod 3 vertical foregrips. The slight angle doesn't qualify it as an angled grip. Both of the rifles are registered SBRs.
