+1! I use WalMart for Ammo, dog food & cleaning supplies. That's it. However when I was a young enlisted USAF member & married, WalMart is what we could afford. As you progress in life you get to have the nicer things.

Target is just about unbeatable for that.

Trader joes has good cheap products.
I do shop at walmart here and there. If you really look at some of the items there and compare it to other places, there is not much difference. Some people think it's walmart and it's cheap but depending what you buy there, the price is only a few cents difference. But they do have some cheaper stuff compared to to other grocery stores.

But i do agree with guys. For them to keep costs down they have to mistreat their employees. If they had a union or treated their employees better then they have to make up that cost. How are they going to do that you ask??? Oh wait, by raising the cost of there items.

If your smart shopper, using coupons and what not and looking for sale items then you can save a lot by shopping at regular grocery stores. I mean if you really look at what type of people shop at walmart you can say most or not smart shoppers. Compare the workers and customers to places like people shopping at regular grocery stores or whole foods (a little pricey) and you can see a huge difference. NOT all people but some.

So, i really want an XDm 45 cal. But damn cali doesn't all allow xdm only the XD's. There is a way to get the xdm's legally here in cali but you have to got through a lot of hurdles. Plus i don't have any family (mom or dad) living out side of cali.
I really need a pistol to replace my stolen 9 back a few years ago.

My buddy was looking for a defense handgun, and called me up to see what I knew about the taurus judge (which is weird, because I don't know anything about guns. But I guess he figured since I own one, I at least know more than he does). Being the friend I am, I did some internet research. Came across this site, it was great:

The Box O' Truth #41 - The Taurus Judge Vs. The Box O' Truth - Page 1

I'm posting that because the judge seems to be a trendy gun for defense (based on what I was reading), and it seems to be a terrible gun for this purpose.

.45 Colt is ok, but forget using a .410.

(Edit)>I just turned the page, it shoots slugs?

Me, bladesofchaos, and hazazzi rented a HK P2000 at the range today.... What a sweet gun!

Yeah, but if you're buying it just to shoot slugs, there are probably 100 other guns that would be better, right?

That's a 9mm, right?

I almost bought this model HK, the fit and feel was excellent. But my heart was set on the Sig P220, I had to wait 9 years to get it.

Love shooting slugs. It's like releasing the hounds of Hell on a target.

I shot an XDM Compact 9mm today and hated it. Not a fan at all. I think that P2000SK tainted things for me for a carry gun. I really liked it!
