As an example for what it costs to add a new caliber:

  • Handgun: including tax, BG check, etc: $655.90
  • Optic: Free, it was a rebate
  • New Apex Trigger (I put an Apex on every M&P): $190
  • 5 more magazines: $213.24
  • 500 rounds of ammo: $626

Total cost to add a new caliber: $1,685.14

I figure it will cost more than three times that amount to add a 300 blackout with an integral suppressor to the stable. Man, shooting is expensive.

Why an integral suppressor?

    What’s the point of 300 BO unless it is suppressed?

Agree – shooting is expensive. I’m trying to decide whether to buy annual membership at a range so unlimited range time each month unless there’s a match, maintenance, etc. Then I would be expending ammo regularly, buying targets and so on. Of course it would provide regular, beneficial practice. And I guess you could look at arms and munitions as cheap insurance.

You’re well under 2K for all that gear so I think that’s pretty reasonable.

The magazine price seems rather high. GunMagWarehouse has them listed for $38 per. Even with shipping and tax, would it really come up to $71 per magazine?

    I got them from GunMagwarehouse. There were 5 more, not 3 more.
