After years of hearing Tam sing their praises, I finally ordered up some Georgia Arms ammo for myself. I have 500 rounds of their “Canned Heat” bulk-pack 9mm 115gr FMJ and 50 rounds of their 124gr Gold Dot +P en route.

My usual carry load in my CZ and Hi-Power is the Speer LE 124gr +P Gold Dot, SKU 53617, which usually costs me around $25 for 50 rounds. This is the stuff labeled “Law Enforcement,” but to the best of my knowledge it’s identical to the “civilian,” CCI-branded 124gr +P Gold Dot ammo, SKU 23617, which typically sells for $20/20 rounds. Georgia Arms’ offering should be ballistically identical and sells for $18.75/50. For the non-math-majors, here’s how that breaks down:

Obviously that’s a pretty significant difference. If the Georgia Arms stuff impresses me I’ll switch over to them completely (once my current stock of Speer ammo is exhausted).

Range report to follow.

Came > < that close to celebrating the Heller decision by buying a new Glock 32 this afternoon.

Might have to go back for it tomorrow. It’s what the Founding Fathers would’ve wanted.

As I’m sure you all know by now, Heller went the right way.

The build-up of anticipation over the past week made for some restless nights and anxious mornings for me and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one. I spent the morning watching the live updates on SCOTUSBLOG, reading the court’s ruling, and discussing it all with pdb and Sebastian.

IANAL, never played one on TV, and didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but the majority opinion looks about as good as we could have hoped; I wasn’t expecting “Free M4s for everybody!”

5/4. Too close for comfort.

Still need to read the losers’ dissenters’ opinions. I skimmed through them briefly but all the head-shaking and eye-rolling was making me dizzy. You really have to wonder if those justices realize which country they live in.

And now, it’s off to the range!
