Starting a "What did you Get today" thread. Let's give it a try (dont forget pics)

[S&W Fan]

Well picked up some blazer 9mm and armscor 357 magnum from cabelas today and went to the range today. Blazer tan fine but every single 357 round of the armscor ammo was out of spec as the overall length was too long and it would not chamber in my GP100. Returned it to cabelas and warned them they may want to pull the lot from their shelves as it would be dangerous to fire. Last time I take a chance on armscor.

I’ve had similar results with armscor myself and gave up on it a couple of years ago.

I already put the Hogue rubber monogrip on it and sanded down the finger grooves. Recoil wasn't painful at all with the original stocks. My problem was that it was difficult for me to reacquire my "sweet spot" on the grip after every time recoil sent it rolling back in my hand. My pet load is nothing crazy. It's a 260 gr cast SWC over 19 gr of H-110 powder in a .44 Special case for a 1285 fps average in the Ruger. The Hogue cuts down the roll big-time and lets me find my grip again right away.

As far as a red dot, I haven't had much luck with them on my S&W 629. I tried 3 different red dots on 2 different mounts and kept running into problems that made them impractical. With the SBH Hunter, you have those nice rings that mount to the rib. I like your setup a lot. Compared to yours, none of the mounting solutions for the regular SBH seem all that appealing. Most picatinny rails require the revolver to be drilled and tapped. The ones that don't probably won't hold up to .44. After poor results with my S&W, I don't want to spend a bunch of time and money chasing optics solutions that might not work well when I could spend that same time and money reloading and shooting to get better with irons.

I went with the UltraDot just because a friend who had the same pistol recommended it. I had an issue once with fogging and although they covered it, their response time / customer service wasn't stellar. No issues since.

That's right brother. Anything less than 1000 is treason levels.

I got this today, this is the best, smoothest whiskey on the planet, Deeeelicious, I couldn't afford the 21yr old. Oh wait, does this make me a pedo???

Dewalt planer and push sticks. I got a deal for $399. Three blade.

Time to give the old Rigid portable saw a rest. Still works pretty well but seen better days. The super stand was half the reason I bought it.....

And I finally looked at it today and the cast aluminum frame is broken. Of course now the store is out of stock of them and I was just there today. What a PIA and it’s heavy.
What a joke this is. I just looked and started the return but it’s not eligible to be returned via the mail and now I have to lug the bitch back to the store. The way to get a new one is to order and new one and now they want to charge me $89.00 to get it shipped where last time it was free shipping. WTF is this bullshit.

Is that the 734?

Yes it is.
I may get the 8” grizzly jointer planer combo machine. I have a wild hair to get the 12” but I’m not sure I’d use it enough to justify the cost but it sure would be nice.

I've had the same one but different stand for the last dozen years as my traveling work saw. It's been a great tool.

True. It still runs but just not as user friendly anymore.

The wife bought a new Laz Boy couch, recliner . I searched through a hundred bits so I could remove the legs off the old furniture. I figured I'd buy a few new sets to loose. I also searched the local stores for a new 12v compressor but no luck so I had to use Amazon. Needed lead wipes too, then found long sq drive bits I couldn't find in the store so I added those too.

A set of magnet mount mirror for the tractor, wish I thought about these before for my other tractor when going down the side of the road to snow blow the neighbors driveway! These will still work when I put the cab on this tractor.

I got a 735x around Christmas time. Finally unpacked it the other day.

I was given an old Craftsman 6⅛" jointer/planer. It's probably 40 years old. The only thing it needed was a good cleaning, wax the in/outfeed tables, new belt and adjust the fence. It already had brand new cutters in it.

I saw the 735x and it’s $525 so I don’t know if it’s worth that’ll owing I don’t have and will need/want a jointer. I’m think about the 8” or 12” combo unit. I haven’t decided yet.

I bought the 735 about a year ago. I looked at them both and something made me gravitate toward the 735. Been working well.

Check out a few online stores. I got mine from Acmetools.com on a black Friday special for under $500 shipped.

With my other M&P 15-22 being so modified, I had been thinking to get another so that I have a factory (mostly) rifle. Well, didn't good old Palmetto State Armory swing in to help me decide, lol. They had a great deal on one with a decent case and three mags. Couldn't pass it up. Went to the ffl to pick it up today. Also swung by the cigar shop and picked up a couple stogies.
