Nice!

Depending on the particulars, one might be able to sue the department for wrongful arrest, perhaps...?

I might try to go.

I think that I might still have a facebook account... I'll have to go flood it with pics, if I can remember my login...

Pleased to have you! We look forward to reading your posts, as well.

It's only the death of reloading if new components are impossible to purchase. Seems to me that the only effect will be upon the aquisition of new pistols, in a few years. There are plenty of used semi-autos on the market there, and plenty of replacement firing-pins too, I'm sure. This law will only serve to increase production costs. There will never be a crime solved, or a life saved as a result of this regulation. New laws only define new crimes, not solve existing ones.

They should just give schools 11-digit alpha-numeric codes instead of mascots, and tattoo that cryptogram as a bar-code on the student's forheads...

Yeah!!!

...hopefully opened the eyes of a fellow I know (who happens to be a teacher), a little bit recently on a similar subject (teenagers & movies)... "...so there's simply no point in glorifying the use of weapons." "I guess the last few millenia should be written out of the history books as a bad idea then? Humans have and will always struggle with each other, for good reasons and bad... why should the physically weaker or outnumbered people be handicapped from using tools which level the playing field?" "Society is alot different than it was hundreds of years ago... killing is pointless." "I hope that argument works against someone who wants to harm you... If that happened, who would you rather have around... me, or the PETA freak next-door?" "touché'" "The problem isn't the gun or knife... the problem nowadays is the responsibility and intentions of the person wielding it."

Things is, though... the author's point about the Glocks chambered in .357sig was correct. There have been few if any kBs in those platforms, and the .357sig is much higher pressure than .40s&w (40Kpsi vs. 35Kpsi). The contributing factor is the chamber tolerance (and possibly the thicker webbing of the sig brass). If there was a car on the market which might explode if you fill it with 87 octane and floor the gas pedal, even if it was very reliable otherwise, would you trust your life to it? Hell no. Give me a vehicle which is not so sensitive to the power lever to which it is pushed, or the quality of what it is fed with... even if it's more expensive. Critical sensitivity to tolerances of ammunition components which literally cost pennies wouldn't be acceptable in any other make of firearm, regardless of its other potentially-redeeming qualities.

Actually... I can see criminals perusing fired brass at the firing range to leave at their crime scene, to throw off the authorities.

Any gun can fail, for sure... but it's understandably easier to be more critical of those which fail, even though were marketed as 'perfection'. I would be surprised if Glocks were more proliferated than 1911s (having been around longer, and in more variations), for example... and I don't hear of nearly as many catastrophic failures among that platform (and it's arguable that more people have and do reload for their 1911s than most Glock shooters).

Well, I've been down to 1 XD in the stable for a while now (XD-357 Service)... never did buy an XD-45acp. I've got the itch again though.

I like the new setup.

"Here is my ID and Permit, I am currently using the permit."

Hobbies? Hmmm... - Transforming basement into manly den of testosterone. - Tinker with automobiles (sometimes this qualifies as a necessity rather than a hobby... especially when my wife drove a Ford ) - Fulfiling the desires of my lovely, sweet, talented wife (this list OBVIOUSLY in reverse order of priority)

I would have thought it was a Glock-inspired machine by looking at it... but the word 'perfection' wasn't used enough in the promotional literature I've found, to give it away.

Why the heck would anyone buy one of those instead of an AR?!

Didn't you say that shots that missed the black were worth 1 point? Wouldn't that make it possible for a shooter to pepper the white 40 times, and hit the black 10 times, and still get 70 points?

So let me get this straight... One could theoretically pass the qualification by only hitting the silhuette 10 times? assuming that: 50 non-hits = 50 points 10 hits = 20 points Wow... I don't know what to say about that.

...they are the only ones 'professional enough' I guess...

At least I won't be too uncomfortable mowing the lawn today...

Can it be set on 'stun'? ...nevermind, I just noticed that a 9mm version is forthcoming.

You know I'll be there.

I can't believe millions of LEOs get away with it every day...
