A friend of mine was shopping for his first pistol last week and after spending every evening in Portland (we live in Salem) looking, and specifically wanting to lay hands on an S&W M&P 9, on a flyer we drove to Cabellas in Eugene. Huge crowd, no AR's available- but he did really like a Ruger SR9c and put one on layaway since it was too late to get his background check that night. We went back Friday to get it and there was a huge crowd again with some different stock of pistols- including the M&P he couldn't find anywhere. He went with the Ruger (less $, more flexibility, stainless) They actually had a ton of 9mm plinking ammo for reasonable money (14.99/50) so it turned out to be worth the drive. Wish I had money to invest in Gun and ammo manufacturers- their corporate profits have got to be gaining 30-40% a quarter and that's going to keep going as long as the government keeps trying to bend the people over

I was in rapid fire 2 weeks ago and their prices on Ar's was horrid.

Been to a gun show lately?

Last weekend. Decent prices on ar's actually.

I was at Northwest Friday afternoon and there was only about 15-20 people there. I was looking to pick up some minor stuff for my AR, ended up walking out with a single Pmag, they are limiting one to a customer. Drove down to Curt's and grabbed two more Pmags and a 100 rounds of .223, there was 2 other people there and the ammo was $3 cheaper a box.

I guess the learning lesson is to avoid going to NW Armory and other places on Saturdays.

Rapid fire. No .22 ammo as of today. Thats all I was looking for so I didnt pay any attention to anything else. Cant answer any other questions.

The Ruger SR9C is a great pistol. I have done extensive research on it and this is a very reliable and accurate pistol. FYI, unlike most other Rugers the SR9C (and probably others in the same design category) should Not be dry fired even with dummy bullets. For safety purposes Ruger has built in a bar that drops down when the magazine is removed to help prevent people from shooting themselves while cleaning their gun while a round is still in the chamber. The bar can easily be removed if desired. Too many dry fires into the drop down bar can cause the striker pin to begin light striking a cartridge failing to impact it enough to fire the bullet.

Do you mind sharing the price on the .223 at Curt's?

I usually avoid going to gun stores on the weekend- too hectic. It's no nearly as bad during the week.

What I like about nwarmory is they hired a security guard to keep the riff raff out.

I trick him every time though.
