Ahh, see that is the whole catch. No one who buys a gun like that carries it or uses it as a night stand gun. That's like saying that you shouldn't build an alcohol burning race car to drive to work. Well duh silly, that's not what it is for.

Like I said before though, I'm in the same boat as you. I can't imagine paynig $300 down, then $600 a year to be a member of an indoor range, but then again, I couldn't afford that anyway. If I were ever in a position to shoot so much that $600+ a year range fees became worth it, then I'd be spending so much money on ammo that the $600 would be a drop in the bucket and I wouldn't hesitate to spend it to get into the finest place around. Since I'm not so fortunate, I just have to bite my tongue and envy the guys that can afford stuff that is unnecessary for my current status.
