If you don't like Walmart they're also on Amazon for the same price but gundeals is auto removing Amazon posts so here we are.
Listening to Rush really helps my speed drills but I've found my Celine Dion makes it harder to get a good sight picture through the tears welling in my eyes.

I am legally obligated to say "Fuck Walmart." That said, everyone should own a .22 and a plinking target.
I like the resettable ones a lot more. Just make sure to bring some orange spray paint. The stickers fly off after literally the first shot.
Yeah. I've used the square cash app a few times, no complaints. You need a debit card, you specify how much money you want to move to it, then it generates you a credit card number that you can use for those funds.
It's nice because if someone tries to charge your SC virtual card after the fact (fraud), you get a notification. I literally only used my Square Cash number at PSA, and mine lit up like a christmas tree 2 months after. They def have fraud issues.
BTW, you can fit 34 of these in one of the MTM Fat 50s. Just a little FYI.
What the fuck is this garbage? How are you going to go around parroting "function over fashion" when there is no impact rating reported for these glasses anywhere on the website? ANSI Z87.1? MIL-PRF-31013? All I see is "military design" which means jack shit without proper ratings backing it up. Anyone buying this would actually be buying them for fashion over function at this price.
For anyone considering these, or in need of higher end glasses, take a look at the Smith Aegis line. They are actually impact rated, designed with shooting in mind, and includes clear and shaded lenses for $80 on Amazon or Midway.
$35.78 on Amazon. Currently the lowest price ever.
36 of these mags fit in one of these in a way that is highly pleasing for my autism.
LCM of 16 and 36 is 144, making an order of 4 ac11s, and 145 mags the most cost effective way to wallow in your autism.
I have an "AlphaWolf Slides w/RMR Cut". Disregarding the fuck-up that their website switched my selection of gen3 to gen4, forcing me to buy a gen4 G17 frame because they wouldn't do shit about it, it's still sitting on my workbench, and has never been shot.
Why? Because the front sight isn't attached. Why isn't the front sight attached? Because it wasn't screwed on tightly when I received it from Lone Wolf. Why wasn't it screwed on tightly? Because inside the slide, where the front sight hole is, there's little to no additional milling, so no one (not Lone Wolf, not me) can actually fit a front-sight tool (this thing) around the front sight screw in order to screw it in all the way.
I don't know whether this is a common problem in AlphaWolf slides, but given that they already fucked me over once due to their mistake, and then again due to their shitty milling job, I'm never ordering any LoneWolf products ever again. I suggest you don't, either.

It's not the standard sights. Its these: Glock Perfection OEM Adjustable Rear Sight Fits All Models https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0047T2VIY/
Rear windage and elevation. Not my favorite sights, but they do function.
The Pro version is also on sale.
Just to head off some comments that will ~~definitely~~ probably happen judging from all the times this was posted before:
The sports don't fit everyone well, they're very head shape dependent. If they don't seal properly they won't work as well.
They don't work at indoor ranges as well as the pros or many other over-the-ear hearing protection because they're only 22 NRR, and again, they may not fit everyone well. (I feel like everyone should at least consider doubling up with inserts and earmuffs for most shooting anyway, in which case your insert is what matters more as far as protection goes, but live however you want).
Turning up the background noise amplification will let you hear conversation pretty well even with foam inserts in.
People really like noisefighter ear pad replacements despite them costing more than the actual earmuffs. That may not be the best link or price, I just linked the first one I found.
They seem to be pushing these hard now, down to $180. I bought mine back in March with Hand Select and it's in great condition, just a little bit of scuffing near the rear sight and above the safety, otherwise the slide is immaculate.
Also check out the Wolff Spring kits to get rid of the famous herculean 24+ lb trigger pull and also the Polish Iron Grips to stop the recoil from bruising the webbing of your hand. And don't dry-fire these, I learned the hard way and broke my firing pin last week. Amazon sells 9mm Mak snapcaps here
The Army is dumping all their old ACU camo and you can get the stuff new in bag for crazy cheap through amazon. I got one of the 6 mag satchels for under $6 shipped.

DO NOT BUY THIS ONE!!!!!! BUY THE ONE WITH 100'S OF REVIEWS The one you listed could be a scam or a refurb, who knows with only 3 reviews, buy this one instead: https://www.amazon.com/Sig-Sauer-SOR52001-Romeo5-Compact/dp/B01C95I8N4/
Heads up folks, this isn't like the hoppes bore snake and it breaks down and leaves a bunch of fibers.
Its similiar to this one from aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-bore-snake.html
Recent event someone ordered a fuckton of these in goody bags.
And OP history is suspect.
Shipping is $30+ dollars at Midway (the add a free-ship item to bring down cost trick is no more). You can pick up a similar storage cabinet for $92 shipped on Amazon
Edit: see Wal-Mart deal below
$8 in tax and $4 in shipping. Amazon may still be better for most.
I’d much rather go for the 3M EEP-100. 27 NRR capable out the box with the right ear piece and upgradable to 30 NRR. Same price too.
https://www.amazon.com/3M-PELTOR-Electronic-Earplug-EEP-100/dp/B07P8YDBZD
I’ve been meaning to write a full review on these but I’ll give a short snippet on how they are:
I use them under electronic muffs and this combo provides the ability to hear everything while maintaining good hearing protection.
Battery life hasn’t been much of an issue, haven’t ran into them dying on me yet.
the color is a little off putting but underneath electronic earmuffs, it’s a nonissue
The charging box is great and a nice way to carry them around
Amazon seems to do these 'daily deals' on Kersahw Leeks every few years. This is as cheap as i've ever seen them. Hell of a deal for what's been my EDC for close to a decade. Typical 'buy it' price is around ~$40. They've also got D2, serrated/non-serrated, blackwash/stainless/DLC finishes.
Other notable deals:
Black serrated for $29 with 5% coupon
​
ETA: I realize this is gun deals and we've had several discussions in the past about these types of posts. We're all buying this kind of shit anyway, so hopefully this can help some of you guys out.
Super helpful, especially with those tiny bolt stop pins, if you're building an upper or lower. At $5, its just good to have.

$3 more on Amazon if you have prime and want 2 day shipping
Why are you people upset about the title? He's referencing the Palmetto State Armory deal that is up as well... Many people say that the credit cards they use with PSA get stolen...
​
It happened twice to me. I ordered from PSA twice, and both times my card information was stolen and used about a month or two after. Something shady is going on with them giving away or selling customer information. I don't trust PSA. Use a website like Privacy.com if you order form PSA.
Find it on amazon here . This is mine, with this exact furniture. . I realize it’s not the corncob pump, and you’d still have the heat shield to buy, but’s it’s still cheaper than a retrograde.
Super duper brief history
During the 1960 Rhodesian Bush war, the Rhodesian army had these huge black FALs and it allegedly stood out against the african bush. Captured terrorists would say that the FAL gives them away. The Rhodesian military then had their FALs painted with dark green and light green automotive paint from the motor pool to camo their rifles. This paint famously became a part of the Rhodesian bush war and Rhodesian FALs with this paint is in supreme demand.
Some people like the idea of the Rhodesian Bush War as a story of independence. Conversely, some people equate the Rhodesian Bush War as a race war due to the colonial aspects of Rhodesia. The Selous Scouts was made up of Black Africans and former Black African Terrorists.
Don't just take my word for it. Do your own research and reach your own conclusions.

3 Sips of Gin is a good book about a selous scout during the Bush War and his time in South Africa after the fall of Rhodesia. It is humorous at times and incredible in others. It does not shy away with what he or the selous scouts did though. I read it on the kindle and the pictures and maps still showed up well.

DRY FIRE PRACTICE WARNING:
the majority of your shots should be in single action. You can eventually break the trigger return spring if your practice in majority double action as it puts more wear on the spring.
Get snap caps or these to place between your hammer and firing pin. You can eventually break the firing pin retaining pin by dry firing on an empty chamber. Also
Again, this is only an issue if you plan on doing excessive dry fire practice. I've done both as I need the practice. Both are cheap and easy to replace, but better to take preventative steps.

I have the 18 rifle and it can hold over ten rifles but you will need rifle rods and need to remove the side supports for the rifles that come with the cabinet.I bought two for all my guns and ended using rifle rods and fitting all my guns in one 15ish rifles and a shotgun.rifle rods amazon They cost 30$ for ten or 55$ for 20
I also lined them with cheap carpet and spray adhesive from Home Depot. Cost 20$ for carpet and spray adhesive. I’ll add pics if I can find them.
These cabinets lock and are better than nothing but wouldn’t hold up to a crowbar. Make sure the box you get the cabinet in has no dents in it. I bought from Walmart and had to exchange several times just do to damage during shipping.
Oops, I think I dropped my ten day forecast here. Kidding aside, we all live with sacrifices and sadly, Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam- reload... is one of them.

This is a great gun for anyone pondering. I currently ccw mine in a vedder light tuck w/claw and use the pearce pinky extensions and the rubber talon grips. This is an extremely reliable gun with a really really clean trigger and hopefully someone gets it at this price point.

The Technical are going to melt. Core and Breach are partially leather, so I think they would stand up a bit better. Probably better off with a proper nomex glove. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000JFCEDM/
I did try the similar from Surefire but didn't work. So I went with the M3 skull screws. Can't recommend enough. Cheaper, reuseable.
I grabbed a bag of these thinking it's disposable, but have been using only a single pair for like 3 or 4 months and still going.
In terms of noise isolation, been shooting 556 and 308 only, and I can say it does its job very well.
Same price on Amazon too so you don't have to wait for Midway to take their sweet time shipping it. Bonus points if you have Prime since it's eligible for free 2-day.
Quick heads-up for people looking to buy a padded Vickers sling:
This coupon code brings the price of a padded Vickers sling with nylon hardware down to $49.50 before shipping and sales tax. After shipping (economy with tracking, the cheapest option) and sales tax to my address in GA, the total came out to $57.47.
You can get this same sling on Amazon for $53.95 before shipping and sales tax. After sales tax, the total from Amazon came out to $58.27, but Prime members will get free two-day shipping.
Depending on where you live, your results may be different. But in my case, I'd rather pay the extra 80 cents and get my sling in two days.
Here's a cheapskate tip that nobody asked for:
Throw these into your order. I don't have a small head, but the Leight earpieces are so tall that, with the headband at its shortest, they still sit very low on my ears. Because of this they interfere with cheek weld and the sound seal is easily broken if I move my jaw. Wrapping the headband raises the earpieces just enough to seal properly and be much more comfortable.
Less cheapskate:
Then throw these into your order. I realize you now have a $75 set of ears, but by golly they work well and they're extremely comfortable.
Just my preferences. YMMV.
Bushnell Trophy TRS-25 Red Dot Sight Riflescope, 1 x 25mm, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00200E0HM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_3q8sAbSPCEMNB these are much better, cheaper, and you get it next day rather than waiting. Considered the best bottom barrel rds you can buy. Note ar owners will need a mount to be able to use it but it'll last. Sorry op I can't get to my smile link at the moment
They cost more ($44 right now on Amazon), but the Peltor Rangeguard have been more comfortable, for me. The first review on that page does a great job of comparing the two.
If anyone has an issues with the seal or comfort of the Impact Sports, I'd suggest giving the Rangeguards a try.

If your takedown doesn't come with a bag and you need or want one, this looks like a good bag for it. Seems to be identical to the ruger bag provided with takedown models.
OR you could go with this sweet tennis bag for half the price and deceptively move your firearms around right in front of your nosey neighbor. Mind your own fucking business Karen!
For another $15 I would suggest the ($40 total) - Noisefighter gel pads (Amazon link)
I shared with another user in this thread that these have a relief cut that allows the use of eyewear without breaking the seal around your ear. It may seem steep, but at ~$80 ($35 HL's + $40 gel pads) these will be about as good as it gets until you start looking at earpro in excess of $200.

They got me about 2 weeks ago now. Tried to charge 2 charges to my credit card as donations to a charity. PSA swears up and down its not their fault but I still chewed ass and told them I wouldn't ever be making a purchase through them again. I saw on here someone post about privacy.com and I use that now haha.
Obligatory plug for privacy.com when ordering from PSA. They have had an ongoing issue with identity theft, so best to use protection.
I wonder if there should be a bot for this kind of thing.
Wouldn’t let me post amazon link, I’ve seen a lot of people on here loving it when it was last posted so I thought I’d share.

The pro version (TG231G1W), is like 72 cents more expensive on Amazon after shipping and tax from this site, and you get it with 2 day shipping (prime).
$135.10 (before tax) ~~$169~~ at amazon for prime day. As mentioned by u/guacamoleburger below, these also do not include the 30NRR tips, only 27s

Been shopping for active ear protection for me and the missus for a while. Found these on JET for a little less than on Amazon; then found the coupon code on retailmenot for the $10 off a $30 purchase.
Because the purchase price is originally over $35, they ship for free as well!
Picked up two pair (in two seperate orders) for under $60 shipped. That was a steal IMO.
Amazon for reference (rated 5 stars on Amazon)
That and the Razor does have an auto shut off.
Also, the Razor has the ability to charge rechargeable R123A's. You can get nerdy and use something like this to keep your Razor always fully charged, the cable will fall off easily when you pick up the rifle so there's nothing to tangle up on.
In for one. They are $10 shipped on amazon, and come with more goodies.

I see a lot of anti Monstrum stuff here, but it feels like a meme to me. I've never seen any evidence even suggesting that their rails are anything other than the claimed 6061 aluminum. I don't think most people know the difference. I wouldn't buy their scopes, but for rails like this I wouldn't care as much. FWIW their rimfire and shotgun rails have a lot of positive reviews on Amazon.

I'm very much a fan of this sling from amazon which can be a 1pt or 2pt sling, and is this price 24/7 on fde, od and black. no pink though. i havent drug it through the dirt, or gone into combat with it, so i cant say it will hold up to that, but the 2 i have have held up for range trips and hunting for a couple years.

for a 16" barrel, 9-12" is the correct length handguard and other people are wrong.
EDIT: can't link to cherry balmz because the guy got in a slap fight with the mods, who are mods in the fullest sense of the word. anyway, i got their sampler, and that shit is fantastic. is it better than other stuff? yes. is it better than all other stuff? idk.
I bought one of these to go on the top shelf of one of my safes and I immediately bought another once I received it. Works great, looks professional, and no chance of dings/scratches. I actually bought mine on Amazon for the same price with free shipping but I think Amazon is still banned on here... https://www.amazon.com/SnapSafe-Racks-Pistol-Handgun-Storage/dp/B07QRCT3VC?th=1&psc=1
123a / 18650 cells aren't really "specialized".. they're not exactly as common as AAs, but their energy density and output is hard to match. I picked up a Nitecore charger and some good Panasonic 18650 cells a couple years back and they've been great.
Honestly though, not a huge fan of these big weapon lights. I put an Inforce WML on my Tavor X95 and it works pretty well. No cable/pad needed. Nice & intuitive, minimal, plenty bright (not obscenely bright where it totally destroys your night vision).
The case its self is a very common "Private label" item, meaning a bunch of different companies source from the same company (usually in China) and can sell it as their own product. Here is the same one on Amazon for $50, though they do price as low as $30.

I also have one of these cases and think they're pretty good for the value.
So why get this over some non-gun branded scale that also measures in grains? It's not like "grain" is some super special gun specific measurement. I guess you can't load a mortar with the amazon one but 300 grains seems like more than enough
For everything else, get the Caldwell Accumax Barrel Cooler. Yes, the Caldwell Accumax Barrel Cooler, for when need the most from a cold barrel. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B7OYN4Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_fMjqCbMJZP7EK
it was $300 last year. it may have been an error, but it was available long enough for me to see the deal on a deal site, mull it over for a bit, and place an order. And it was legitimately $500 through this summer:

and I am not saying it isn't worth $600, but for a lot of us, the difference between $600 and $500 is a big chunk of our shooting budget.
Confirmed - It's at 18x.
Our ballistics app also shows the holds at various magnification. Not a perfect solution, but it can certainly help.
It's still cheaper to go the Amazon route because you can grab a UTG riser and choose full cowitness or 1/3 cowitness.
It's not a bad deal from Midway if you have to have the factory riser though.
