This is what went down.
Wife: Where are you going?
Me: Uh, Sportsman's Warehouse.
Wife: Don't tell me you bought yourself another gun!?!
Me: Uhmmm, no?
Wife: Better not come home with another smoker, either.

Not a gun. Two guns. And they're not for me, they're for the grandsons. Semantics can be your friend. And somehow she thinks 5 smokers are too many. Women...

I beat the stimulus check by a few weeks. Got this Cimarron Pistolero in .357, and a custom, hand made gun belt to go with it. I originally was looking at a .45 LC like in this pic, but I was concerned about the cost and availability of that cartridge. Figured .357 would be cheaper and easier to find. Didn't know about the huge ammo shortage at the time. Now if I could only find some ammo on the store shelves, or that isn't sky-high online.

I really like color case hardening, I think it makes a gun.
That Cimarron Pistolero is a nice gun for the price, I think you'll like it.
And that leather, a nice belt/holster, looks good.

Lets face it, if you hadn't bought it cheap and stacked it deep over the last 3-5 years... You're screwed.
And now is not the time to pickup a new caliber either, especially not handgun caliber ammo.
Even more disheartening is that the bare shelves is unlikely to end any time soon.

I'm fairly well set with ammo. :emoji_wink:

My Rock Chucker press has loaded a few thousand rounds, at a reduced price... Same as my MEC 600 when I shot trap and skeet weekly....
Gettin' too old and with a limited income, I think it's time to downsize in all those areas...
 
Chilerelleno I thought I had a lot of ammo but that’s a whole new level. Unfortunately for me I was stationed in Hawaii for the past 3 years up until June. So I’m definitely lacking on my 300 BO pile. I have a 8” blackout that might be going to a .556 due to ammo

Ammo in .223 or 5.56 is harder to find than BO around here. Oh, 300 Black Out hasn't been on the shelf for over 6 months.
My son works part time at a outfitter store. The same customers stop everyday looking for ammo
 
No 300BO here, but I've a few rounds of 223/556 available for whatever needs may arise.
I try to maintain a reserve and have some ready fo plinking and competition.
Sometimes what I have on hand might seem like enough to make a MSM reporter have a stroke, but it goes quick when ya have a family that shoots it up for fun and games, sometimes the cans are full sometimes not.
What sucks is that they hear Bang! Bang! Bang! and giggle, what I hear is Cha-ching! "Cha-ching! Cha-ching! Cha-ching! I better get back to working!"

That's a nice pistol Dave.
I like my XD9 4" service model, 16+1
Had it for several years, over 2K through it and never had a malfunction yet.

I received a stimulus check in the first round and bought myself a new pistol too.

KUSA KP-9
Kalashnikov USA made direct clone of the Russian Vityaz-SN 9x19 submachine gun.
The closest we can get to owning a Vityz-SN, PP-19 Bizon or Saiga 9.

I acquired several mags, a few mag couplers and a folding stock.
Going to file a Form1 and SBR it,

I just ordered the 50 cal. Barrel for this BEAST Dave.

Hand cannons have always had a soft spot in my heart/ gun safe. You should see my 120 lb wife shoot it, it's fricken hilarious. I'll try to take a video the next time we go shooting. I'm a Glock and Kimber guy 40&45 cal.
And I won't be running out of ammo in this lifetime.
A few years ago I was shooting 1000 rounds a week of 45 ACP action shooting and defensive shooting. The range is 5 miles from my house.
When I'm not shooting Skeet and Sporting clays I'm shooting pistol or rifle.

I'm just glad I bought my ammo before they shutdown mail order ammo sales in the lovely State of insanity/ Kalifornia. It's impossible to find ammo out here these days and I refuse to let them run their background checks on me even though I'm not hiding anything. Well maybe a few things they don't need to know about.:emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::emoji_wink::emoji_wink::emoji_wink:

I was looking at another Browning Bar in a caliber I don't currently have and asked if they had ammo for it. They didn't and I'm not buying a gun I can't shoot so I left it at the store

Early this year I almost bought a nice looking used BAR in 30-06, until I looked down the bore.
I swear it looked like the proverbial sewer pipe. 🤮
