On election day morning of 2012 I ordered an LE6920 from galleryofguns.com. I didn't know Sandy Hook was going to happen less than 6 weeks later and the 6920 was just what I needed when I started 3-Gun competition in 2014.
This past late September I wanted the best 10 round Glock I could own, so I used a Blue Label GSSF certificate and purchased a G30S .45 Auto.
Yep. Glock 19 Gen 4 and 43 just last week and ,lots of 9mm ammo. Im voting early tomorrow morning. Its just a sad fact that guns and ammo will become very scarce in the next few weeks. My local Walmart is already running low on ammo and 2 weeks ago, the shelves were full.
I've pretty much been in panic mode since 2008. I'll be buying a few things in the next few days/weeks, but the election really has nothing to do with it.
Other than reloading supplies, which has really just been just back filling older inventory I have been starting to use up again after getting settled in my new digs (in the last ten years, I went from buying when I needed it, to a refilling stock on hand policy), nothing gun wise out of the ordinary. Steady as she goes Scotty.
Would be lying if I said the influx of g&a gear I've been picking up wasn't election related, but it's easy to justify (to myself) that I want and need this stuff anyways. I feel pretty good in the gun and mag department so I've mostly been purchasing ammo, mostly premium JHP in 9mm and .45.
tool head, dies for .223.
might not be able to get the cheap range fodder much longer.
already prepped a couple thousand rounds of brass. cleaned, lubed, sized/deprimed, trimmed and cleaned again.
next, powder, primers and projectiles.
I bought a G43 in September and ordered a case of ammo for my G42 a few days ago. I've been planning on getting a G19 before the end of the year but I'm starting to think that if I'm the least bit interested in an AR15 now is the time to find one.

Sadly not financially able to get anything new, I've been buying for years. Got ammo and mags too. Sad state of affairs that we as Americans have to run out and buy before an election.
To make my purchases of mags and ammo, This week will be Grilled cheese sandwiches and chips all week.
Next week I'll live like a king, and have Hamburger and potato stew, with green chile pepper pods.
Repeat as needed.
Considering a second G17 or possibly a G19, and a PCC if I can decide before Nov 8.
But most certainly, mags, ammo.
Also thinking about picking up 4-5 10rd G17 mags before inauguration. If something happens with legislation or exec order regarding mags, all the 10 rounders will dry up immediately. Guessing there are not that many of them out there in the first place.
I'm thinking 10 rounders too in all calibers and formats. I've only got one 10 round AR Pmag for bench rest shooting.
Even if I had high caps buried in the backyard, my gun club follows all rules and regs, so I wouldn't be able to use any illegal items there. And that's smart on their end.
