Happy birthday to me! Picked up a Dillon CV-2001 tumbler and a Wheeler Engineering sight tool

shameless plug - I'm going to have a Dillon CV-500 tumbler and CM-500 case media separator for sale soon if anyone is interested

Got it from amazon. It’s really sturdy and has everything you need, LED lights, peg board hooks, rubber lining for the drawers and shelve.

Seville Classics (UHD20247B) UltraHD Lighted Workbench (48L x 24W x 65.5H Inches) Stainless Steel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005NAVFEW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZfsICbMF3T505

I was going to wait until after Monday to buy this (I pay my CC of each month), but decided since I'm over my budget already, what's wrong with being even more over my budget?

I clicked "place order" on this last night.

Who'll put it together for you? :D
 
I tried everything I could to get my dad to let me buy one with money I earned working for him.
At 9 or 10 years old I didn't have much pull with management.
Now I buy them for my G-kids so they'll have them when needed.
Dammit now I have to call my dad and cuss him for doing the same thing.
 
PSA lower parts kit with fde sba3. Now I've got an extra complete pistol lower that will be lonely soon.
 
I purchased 6 targets, for the exorbitant price of $3 or so....wow, what a big spender I was at the range today!
 
Picked up a Glock 23 from a local pawn shop and 1,200 rounds of various ammo to restock from recent range trips with my son-in-law.
 
Well are you done yet? :D
We worked on it yesterday. @BatteryOaksBilly is the wizard of the grinder. Billy ground on the frame and I drilled the holes. I started the assembly. I know my way around a Glock but this is just a little different. After I got it together the trigger was binding. We messed with it few more minutes and decided to put it up and work on it later.

This evening I took everything out of the frame and everything looked OK. I put it back together in a different sequence and it was fine. I put the slide on and it worked, stiff, but it worked. I took the slide of and lubed everything up real good and put the slide back on. I cycled it several times and it is freeing up some. I took the slide back off and it's not rubbing on the frame anywhere. I put some more lube on it and cycled it some more. It's still a little stiff but loosening up. It may have a hiccup or two the first couple of mags but I think it will settle in soon. I did center up the pins after I took the pictures.

@Geezer Looks good. Mine was pretty tight at first but it gets smoother. I was having cycling issues at first, like it was short stroking the slide. Ended up going with a reduced power recoil spring (15#) and it's ran well since. Good luck.

@chiefjason does it again. S&W 686 pancake holster. Man is an artist in leather. Wore it out and about today for a while while running errands and absolutely love it.

Archangel LVX magazine for SKS rifles 7.62 X 39MM Magazine with Lever Release (35) Round Black Polymer

Bought at least 6 targets and blasted away with the 9mm and the loaned .45.
Not my best shooting, but still a lot of fun seeing the fire and hearing the boom! (And I was extra brilliant yesterday, so it evened out!)
 
Ordered three holsters yesterday for $70 shipped. IWB for my G48, OWB for my M17, and OWB for my brother's TP9SFX.
 
Two 20rd PMags. Found one still in the wrapper at home, so I’m giving all 3 to my son with his first AR in the near future. I already had a full rifle build kit and an optic, so a few mags should finish him up except for ammo. Just waiting on PSA to release their M4 Clone upper...and it’s next in line for production. Going to have him help me assemble the lower without telling him it’ll be his when we’re done.
 
I searched all over Fayetteville for an extra magazine for the 1911 9mm for a class in the morning, finally found one at stop #3, Ace Pawn. Also got a 4th 7 round magazine for the Sig, this one from Shooters Supply. And at Jim's, I bought 5 boxes of .380, in case I had to use the Sig instead of the 9mm for the class.....I think I'm covered! (And broke.)
 
Picked up a Sig P365 Saturday from Sportmans Lodge in Yadkin county. Picked up a holster and a few 12 round mags from Atlas firearms in Winston Salem Saturday evening. I then put around 4-500 rounds through it at Apex Defense Defensive Pistol 1 on Sunday. It was flawless. I did take it apart and slather the rails in Lucas Oil marine grease first. It's fricken tiny. Even though Ryan at Apex thinks the P365 is a terrible gun i like it a lot. Only thing it needs it is to be wrapped in grip tape or something because it is too slick.
 
I may have picked up a Glock 48 with night sights, 5 extra mags and a Neptune Concealment IWB holster for it. Not confirming or denying yet so my 18 yr old daughter doesn’t try to claim it before I can shoot it.
 

I don't know, he just says its chock full of problems, hates the trigger. He drank a full case of P365 hateraid. I think its because it is cheap, that is synonymous with BAD maybe? lol Maybe he will chime in and 'splain. I think the damn thing is awesome and I will think that until it fails in some way. I have 12+1 rounds of 9mm in a gun as small as my hand. I like the night sites and the green dot front a lot. Recoil is very manageable for a micro gun. Trigger isn't awesome but its pretty good.
 
The P365 is cheap? What does he shoot? :confused:
 
I had the chance to shoot a 365 over the weekend and I was somewhat impressed. I did not think the trigger was bad. Accurate at 7 yards.

I couldnt hit the 100 yard target with it. 20+ yards it was accurate enough but the trigger squeeze is CRUCIAL. It is such a small gun any wiggle will throw it off.

What is cheap is relative to the person who is buying i guess. We are both Sig guys, we both have Legions. Those are not cheap. Your average all metal Sig starts around $750+ new and that is usually a sale price. Most of the models are more expensive. My 365 was $485.

I think the engineers that designed it were not too concerned about 100 yard accuracy. :) For what it is designed for, I think it is a pretty good gun.

I love mine. It was made in Dec 2018. I’ve put 1200 rounds through it with not one issue. There is some primer smear on the brass but no issues with the striker as of yet.

It is accurate & easy to shoot. The trigger on mine is very good but again, I’ve put more rounds through mine in a few months than most people will do in a lifetime.

IMHO, I believe this is the most significant gun design I’ve seen in quite a while due to its size, magazine capacity, shoot ability and conceal-abilIty. I’m not a Sig fan boy. The only other Sig I own is the MPX pistol.

Received 2 mags I ordered for my M&P Shield yesterday. They came from California. Check out the warning on the front of package. Sure would be interesting to learn how they came up with this warning that mags cause reproduction harm....lol
