I have to work tomorrow, but I want to go Sunday. I just bought a new 1911 and want to see about a holster, magazines, and ammo for it. I do hope to get the chance to shoot it tomorrow after work. Send me a P.M. about the time and place to meet up at.

Went on Saturday. Lots of guns out and a larger number of FTF people milling about. I bought a new Ruger 22/45 MK III for target practice - .22 ammo is about one-fifth the price of 9mm these days. I was a bit disappointed when I opened the box, as there was only one magazine in it. the dealer told me that Ruger had begun shipping them with only one. When I said that their website says new guns come with 2, they said I could buy another gun than the one I wanted! They didn't even offer to swap a magazine out of one of the other boxes.

I e-mailed Ruger for more information. I asked them to either change the website listing, or send me a magazine I feel that I've already paid for, or compel the dealer to send me one.

We'll see what happens.

UPDATE:

Ruger made good on the dealer's bad actions. Theysaid there wasn't anything they could do to get the dealer to make it right, but they sent me a new magazine to replace the one that was missing.

Thanks, Ruger! :D
