Kimber 1911 Stainless LW .45 ACP 5" Barrel 7-rds Optics Ready Pistol with MFT Holster, Three Mags and Bag - $594.99 + Free Shipping

I got this package, fully engraved, on GB a couple weeks ago for about $850. Not a bad deal. I was jus tglad to see that Kimber added a couple mags instead of their usual 1 that ships with their guns. Especially on an 8 round pistol.

Sig Sauer P365 XMacro SCT Debacle 9mm 3.7" 10rd Threaded w/ ROMEOx Red Dot - $698.93

Confusing ad. Some sites have this UPC listed as the XMACRO and some have it as the X. Still a good deal at this price, but clarification would be great.

STV Golden Bee 9mm 124 Grain FMJ 1000Rnd - $229.99 with code GUNDEALS10 + Free Shipping

Good deal on good range ammo. I ordered this recently and was a little concerned when I saw the date stamp in some of the boxes from 2022, but I've gone thru 8 boxes so far without any issues. Seems to run cleaner than Federal or Blazer. I believe it's the same as Patriot ammo, which is also 124gr FMJ from STV, just newer branding.

FSY Defence Cerberus FSX1 9mm 4.4" Barrel 17rd Pistol, Black - $659.99 + FREE Outlier Backdraft Hunter Suppressor

Never heard of these guns. I have had several Sarsilmaz firearms over the years and they have all been excellent firearms for the price you pay. I'm wondering if thise one would be as reliable?

Bore Sight Kit Red Boresighter with Button Switch for.17 to 12GA Caliber Rifles Handgun Red Laser Sight - $8.99 After Code:"55AFWIAO"

Was at the range one day and a friend and I were sighting in our muzzle loaders. He was getting very frustrated by not being able to hit his target after the first shot went high and right. After making major changes to his sights he finally figured out the target he put up already had a hole in it from a prior time lol. A bore sight came in very handy that day.

ATI Alpha Maxx Semi-Auto AR-15 Pistol,5.56 Nato/.223 Rem, 7.5" Bbl, 7" M-LOK Rail, 1-30 & 1-60 Rd Mag, Adjustable Brace, Flip Up Sights, Battlefield Green - $379.99

More plastic in this pistol than what's in your grannies cupboards after an old school "Tupperware party".. seriously everything is plastic including the internals and the trigger. I don't care what anyone thinks, polymer aka plastic does separate, warp and crack over time from the extreme heating and cooling cycles and the high pressure created inside the chamber. Why do you think that they keep adding more and more "over molded" parts? It's because of the failures I just said. Save your money and buy at least a metal upper. If you check around you can find all metal milspec rifles and pistols for the same money. If this tickles your fancy then by all means buy it. This is just my opinion and you are entitled to yours.

Geissele Blemula Sale @ Primary Arms

Ever since Geissele shifted the sale of their BLEMS through Primary Arms, the prices keep going up. For all of us that took advantage of the 50% off Blemula sales while Geissele hosted it, pat your yourself on the back for getting them while the getting was good, because those days appear to be gone forever.

Winchester SXP Defender 12 Ga 18" 5-rd Pump Shotgun with FDE Finish - $269.99 + FREE Shipping

I certainly would buy one if they had the same rebate deal everyone was talking about a couple years ago. Makes it tough to buy when the comment section is talking about much less money and a rebate to boot. At $155 deal!, at $269...no deal.
