When I can blow through 2 belts of M60 ammo with a cheering crowd...I just want to salute everyone lol.

Mine is $140 a year, but they don't let you shoot anything full auto. But it's always deserted. A busy day is ten people out there. It's glorious.

I am a consultant for Federal Premium Ammunition here in Anoka, MN and in Lewiston, ID. It is frustrating seeing the literally millions of rounds made each day and I cannot get a single one because I am not an employee. I got a one-time deal on some .40 but that likely will not happen again.

As I write this. I am only about 75 feet from the finished goods warehouse/distribution center. It is more than 300,000 square feet of goodness.

Damn, I have to beg the club to let me pick up brass in the sizes I can recycle!

Thats my kinda weapon.. no pain, no gain.

Hopefully it'll cool down enough for some good practice time. I haven't gone to any of the bullseye competitions all summer. When it's over 90 degrees by 8:00 am, I have no desire to go stand under a tin roof all day long.

I don't mind big/magnum calibers in other guns. Just that one. It's got a 2" barrel and it weighs 13 ounces empty. Full power .357 feels like someone hit your hand with a baseball bat. It's pretty cool that it throws a 2' flame, though. Even if I miss, the attacker will be on fire.

I "Normally" carry around my .380 auto but I have to say, if I EVER felt like I was going to be carjacked, I carry my Ruger P90! .45 to the dome is lights out, start back at the beginning, no pass go for you!

The .357 is a summer gun. Fits perfectly is a shorts pocket in one of those little DeSanti holsters. When it's a little cooler, it's either the G19 or M&P compact. If I'm going to someplace really sketchy, 1911 with a 10 round mag and 230gr +p+. If that doesn't do it, then I was destined to die that day.
