On a related note, I have one of these t-hawks on the way and should be here Saturday or Monday.

It is but can certainly vary with location. Also depends on what you want. If your looking at the cheaper end it'll be harder to find but the more expensive your looking the easier it will be to find. i.e. an M&P 10 will be a challenge but an SR25 shouldn't be to bad to find.
I keep most of mine loaded. I have a reserve of new in package mags stored in several 20mm ammo cans that don't get used or loaded, but of the mags tat I do use - I always load them up after a shooting trip when I am cleaning guns.
I think right now I have 20 or so AR mags, 20 beretta 92 mags, 10 10/22 mags, 10 m1a mags, maybe 5 mags for most other things, all loaded and ready. I also keep the speedloaders for my revolvers loaded all the time too.
Any particular reason you keep them loaded though? Guess thats what ive never quite seen advantage for. Why keep them all loaded all the time? I can understand right before you go to the range and for guns youd actually use in self defense at home but why do every single one? Just curious
So i have a question for ya guys, its sort of inspired from exdeath in the ammo thread...
But do you keep all your mags loaded with ammo? or just the couple you actually use?
I personally find i only use 3 or 4 mags and outside of my carry gun and HD gun the mags stay empty till i go to the range (carry gun and HD gun both have 2 loaded mags, XDs 2 7 rounders, fnp-45 2 15 rounders loaded with 12 each). Even out of the 4 or so i have for each gun i generally only use two when going to the range so those four sort of get cycled. I could easily load up my pistol mags with ammo. But rifle wise i just cant see having 1k in 223 in magazines just sitting there.
Even the guys I know who shoot competition only load up their mags at the range most of the time.
So what do you guys do? Load them all and keep them loaded? Load only a few? Or load only when they are going ot be used?
the target accuracy of most police is three out of ten.
i love guns but for that kind of money i can get a new car and a new gun
Only 30%? Did not know it was that low.

$22,500 USD (starting price but comes with a free Ipad mini) for new "smart" rifle = http://news.yahoo.com/smart-rifle-begins-shipping-gun-owners-week-191131624--abc-news-tech.html
The anti gun folks are going to paint that as a killing machine. While the gun probably corrects for distance and wind, the shooter would still have to do their part and not jerk the trigger. Trigger control takes skill and practice...
IIRC, you hold the trigger down and the rifle fires when you're targeted correctly.
This, the computer is also a fire control system. The trigger does little more than giving the command to fire, but the computer delays before releasing the firing pin. It's the one concept I don't like about the platform, takes out too much of the human element.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the Tracking Point rifles. If they really do enable essentially anyone to pick them and make accurate 1000+ yd shots I wouldn't be surprised if they're banned in short order.
The Barrett BORS system has been around for years and hasn't been banned yet.

While it's certainly not as intuitive as the tracking point, and is just a computerized scope attachment, it can certainly turn a mediocre shooter into a precision marksman, and is about 10% the cost.
