⏺ Act soon for $50 or $75 rebate on high-quality revolvers

Right now you can get a significant S&W Rebate on both compact carry revolvers and full-size wheelguns. For the smaller J-Frame (with $50 rebate), we like the Model 638 with alloy frame and shielded hammer. You can also get a big $75 rebate on the bigger K-, L-, or N-frame revolvers. In .357 Magnum, we like the modern L-Frame Model 686. NOTE: To get the rebates, purchases must be made before midnight on 4/30/2024 — so don’t delay.

4. Palmetto SA — RUGER-5.7® 5.7×28 Pistol, $549.99

⏺ Save $350 Off MSRP for high-velocity, low recoil 5.7×28 handgun

The 5.7×28 cartridge is a modern defense round with much less perceived recoil than pistol cartridges shooting larger-diameter, 120-250gr bullets. With a 20+1 round capacity, the 5.7×28 Ruger-5.7 is a well-designed pistol with good sights. Owners report the Ruger 57 has good ergonomics, and is accurate and fun to shoot with low muzzle flip. With this sale you save $350.00 off Ruger’s $899.99 MSRP.

5. Graf & Sons — Hornady Ammunition Sale

⏺ Major savings on Hornady brand Rimfire, Centerfire Rifle, and pistol ammo

If you need ammo for a variety of cartridges check out the Hornady Ammo Sale over at Graf’s. There’s a good selection of both rifle and pistol ammunition with good deals on .204 Ruger, .243 Win, 6.5 PRC, .270 Win, and .308 Win.

6. Amazon — Walker’s Razor Slim Muffs, $41.75

⏺ Very good customer reports for these NRR23 Slim Muffs

Good hearing protection is vital for preventing hearing loss over the years. A great choice is the Walker’s Digital Razor PRO Electronic Earmuffs, an Amazon Best Seller. Omnidirectional Microphones capture sounds from all directions, and Walkers quick-activated compression dampens sudden, loud noises to protect your hearing. NOTE: These $41.75 muffs require two AAA replaceable batteries. For $69.99 you can get rechargeable Walker’s Razor Slim Muffs.

7. Amazon — RCBS M1000 Balance Scale, $149.52

⏺ Good beam scale serves multiple reloading/sorting tasks

Electronic scale/dispensers are efficient. But many loading room tasks, such as bullet weight sorting, can be performed more quickly and easily with a good beam scale. In addition, a beam scale won’t experience the drift shown by some electronic scales. We think all hand-loaders should have a good mechanical scale. The RCBS M1000 mechanical scale is reliable and well-designed, offering excellent, accurate performance for the price.

8. Locked&Loaded — CCI Blazer 9mm Ammo, $219.99 1000 rds

That price works out to just $11.00 per 50-round box — a fantastic price. This very affordable 115gr Blazer 9mm ammo is excellent for practice/training, and it is more reliable than commercial reloads.

The 4-20X power range is great for a varmint rifle, while the 7-35x56mm is good for club matches.

2. CDNN Sports– Smith & Wesson SD9VE Pistol w/ Laser, $329.99

⏺ Nice, compact 9mm complete with integrated laser — great carry gun

Here is a great value in a 9mm carry/defense pistol. The Smith & Wesson SD9VE 9mm features a comfortable grip, high visibility sights, and a built-in laser.

3. Midsouth — Aguila .22 LR Ammunition, $28.99 500 rounds

⏺ Large variety of Aguila rimfire ammo at great prices

With the high cost of centerfire components (bullets, brass, primers, powder), more folks are shooting rimfire rifles and pistols. Right now, Midsouth is running a major sale on Aguila rimfire ammo. Choose standard velocity (1130 fps) or high-velocity (1255 fps), solid point or hollowpoint. Ammo starts at just $28.49 for 500-ct boxes of 38gr or 40gr ammo — that’s just six cents per round. And if you need large quantities, grab a 2000-round bulk pack for just $114.99, again just $0.06 per round. For varmint work, consider Aguila’s 1700 fps Hyper Velocity SuperMaximum 30gr ammo, priced at $7.49/50 rounds.

4. Grafs.com — Frankford Arsenal F-1 Press, $122.99

⏺ Versatile press, good primer exit, plus built-in light

Here’s a handy, single-stage press with some cool features. The new Frankford Arsenal F-1 press has an open front for easy case placement, plus a built-in LED lamp at the top (great for inspecting cases). And after decapping, spent primers go straight down a tube into a handy, clear, twist-off catch cylinder (as on a Forster Co-Ax). We think this would be an excellent secondary press used for decapping or bullet seating. This intro price — just $122.99 at Graf & Sons — is a great deal. NOTE: This press does NOT have priming capability — you must prime cases with a separate tool. Also, the power cord for the LED light is NOT included. For more details see Frankford Arsenal F-1 Press Review.

7. Amazon — Walker Razor Slim Ear Muffs, $39.08

We can’t stress enough the importance of proper hearing protection — even just a few minutes of high-decibel excessive sound exposure can cause permanent hearing loss.
