polarpooch,
I'll agree that the .45's we have are some of the smoothest guns, although I shoot better with double actions for some reason. I have a tendancy to jerk the trigger on the .45's.
Normally I go in with the guy that owns the local gun range, and go in on an order with him, and he only charges me whatever his cost is. I just blow through the ammo like there's no tomorrow. I've priced cheaperhtandirt, and a few others, and I'm still paying less.
I just spend to much time at the range. Some days my job includes a drive up into the mountains, and the range is on the way. I can stop by for an hour or 2, and nobody will miss me. The cell doesn't work on the drive up, and traffic can just be horrible going up the mountain.
