Bought 9mm at a now-low price in the middle of July... I'm very curious if Sportsman's Guide will actually fill the order. 🤞🏻

SInce they are currently on back order for the exact same thing at a price of $650 I'm gonna guess that is a no.

Pity. I'd order 20k of it right now at your price.

Just mounted my TLR3 and a sling on my M400 pistol now i just need an optic. I’m planning to go with a red dot and was originally gonna just go with the Sig Romeo5 but one of my friends just offered me a Vortex Crossfire red dot or a trijicon reflex for $100 for either.
I’m completely new to optics so i’m not really sure which would be best. Romeo5 is about $150 fyi

Are you able to activate the light with it mounted like that? Seems like a long reach for your finger.

This is about $200 US. I'm surprised we have ammo cheaper here. I'm going to pick up another 1000 rounds now.

Right now they could sell a metric ton of that shit here in the USA. Brass, 124 grain, FMJ - count me in. Pity they are limited to Canada.

Can Americans buy ammunition in Canada?

I don't know, you should reach out to them. It's been in short supply here too.

I polished my Gen 5 Glock 17 trigger the point I'm fine with it for now and I'm prioritizing a light and compatible holster ahead of some proper trigger work. I'm also moving to a retention-style holster for my battle belt. Ordered a Safariland 6360rds in their black STX Tactical (Cordura) finish from Optics Planet. Should take about a month to arrive.

I'm a fan of retention holsters but you do need to practice with them. Drawing can be shit if you are stressed, also re-holstering without looking and then there is the retention aspect. You don't want your firearm taken and maintaining it in the holster when someone is trying to strip it requires ongoing practice.

From the government of Canada website :

https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/explosives/i...mmunition/9909

Importation, Exportation and Transportation In-Transit of Ammunition


Any individual can import up to 5,000 rounds of small arms cartridges into Canada without an import permit if they are for personal use (i.e., not for resale). If you plan to resell the cartridges or to import more than 5,000 rounds, you need an import permit. Similarly, you can export and transport in-transit up to 5,000 rounds of small arms cartridges for personal use without an export and transport in-transit permit, but you need a permit if you plan to resell the cartridges or to export and transport in-transit more than 5,000 rounds.

I'm looking forward to the practice Murf! I've already been practicing my draw and dry firing every day to get used to the Glock grip angle, and instinctively placing the red dot on target without hunting for it. Getting the retention system committed to muscle memory will be part of that same process.

Just picked up a romeo5 red dot. Seems to work well and havent seen any bad reviews
Planning to go to the range soon to zero it in.
My AR pistol is almost setup to my liking just need a better trigger and muzzle brake.
Debating the SBR option vs finding a different brace

You won't have any issues. I have 2 or 3 and they're awesome for the money. I got em when they first came out and paid 100 each. Best dot for the price, not even close. At the current $150 there's probably more competition, but it's still a great rds.

What brace do you have? The SBA4 is amazing (IMHO). Trigger-wise the Geissele SSA is my favorite for CQB ARs. I haven't used the Romeo, but have heard good things. I happily run RMRs and EOTechs (although they aren't cheap).

I have the shockwave blade brace it’s what came on the gun.
I’m gonna use the trigger in it for now. It’s not terrible. Definitely better than milspec but not nearly as good as the SA saint i looked at side by side.

I’ve got some friends who run Eotech and love them but i’m not looking to drop that much on an optic right now and everything i’ve read and watched have all had good things to say about the Romeo and so far i’m happy with it but we’ll really see when i go to the range.
