So, what did you score on at Market Hall?

I walked out with a Glock 21SF, 500 rounds 223 ammo, 500 rounds 10mm ammo, 3 more AR15 PMags, and a couple of other AR accessories.

All I picked up was a mount for my Surefire e2e, and 2 boxes of Silver Bear .223 HP (assigned myself a $60 budget including admission). The primary reason I went was to help a friend of mine purchase his first gun, but unfortunately he could not commit to spending the money so he left empty handed.

I am picking up a Colt MK IV this week for $500, so my money was already pre-spent.

I picked up a Galco speed slide holster for my Walther PPS. Had to buy a model for the a Glock but it fits the Walther very nicely.

Primers, powder and bullets...and a few old coins. All in all, was kind of dissapointed. I thought there were a lot better deals at the Big Town show.

' Been looking at that show for at least the past year for some of the Gold Dot actually labeled "Short Barrel" ammo in 9mm, .38+P and/or .357. One dealer this time had some in 9mm+P so I picked up two boxes at $21.00 per 20. (Yeah, ouch!) I'm semi-anxious to set up chronograph and see how it compares to the same weight (124g) I've used in PM-9 for quite some time. (1,041 fps)

Also got another box of CCI .22 Mini-Mag as that's all I've found my favorite Marlins runs with 100 per cent of the time.

And, to bust $100 on Saturday, another packet of 9mm and .38 snap caps for training purposes.

I looked at a bunch of other "wants" on Sunday, but had vowed to keep my hands - and money - in my pocket all day. Except for food, I'd done it - until right after the show had closed. When talking to an adjacent vendor about his new "pocket holster" for the Kel-Tecs (and the new Ruger knockoffs), he had a cell phone case that I "needed" bad. There went a twenty ... It was at least partially offset though by another adjacent vendor who gave me a big bag of handgun brass that he did not want to have to lug out of there ...

I experienced something unexpected when I tried the Short Barrel .45's in my P45 Kahr.

They averaged 797fps.

My old standby, Hydra-Shok 230's averaged 853fps.

That may not be the whole story, if the SB's expand better at 797 than the Hydra-Shoks at 853.

Still, it was surprising.

I'm jealous, Dave! A .45 is on my wish list. I already have a 9mm and a. 40. Been looking at another Kahr, but decided that one poly gun is enough.

Took my wife, Sharron to the range last weekend. She can't wait to go back. I may have another student for Paul's CHL class soon.

Nice Springer! That skeletonized hammer looks pretty cool with the rest of the gun. How much may I ask? :mrgreen:

BTW, Dave, it wasn't really loaded, was it? ;-)

Got the PX9152LP for $877 and the grips for $219. I had to modify the right side ambi-safety lever to clear the laser sight.
