    New toy.

    Thats nice shiny new toy,congrats.I have a loaded in 9mm,its been great.
  2. I was in our local Walgreens this AM and there were no signs posted.
  3. I carry a Leek G10 when not at work,its a decent blade length and non serrated.Rather fast to deploy if you get one with the Speedsafe.They are a little pricey but I think they are worth the extra dime. These are the 3 that I have,Leek is the middle one,the other 2 are CRKT.Out of the 3 of them I like the Leek the best.
  4. I have reloaded the nickel casings in .38 and .357 mag with no problems and I use the Lee Carbide dies.The casings are a little more prone to cracking but they reload fine.Just keep an eye out for splits.
  5. I like the Kershaw line,the G10 is a nice one also.The handles on these are made to not slip easily.I carry the G10 Leek when not at work and the Kershaw Needs Work when at work.They are made with some great quality steel and as a bonus are made in the good old USA.
  6. Yup,if your a reloader its the way to go.There are several bullet casters that supply good quality projectiles for a reasonable price.I bought 500 Oregon Trail 215 grain LSWC for around $60.00.I figured for target ammo I have about $20.00 into 100.Thats pretty reasonable shooting for a big bore,and lots of fun also.
  7. I recently started reloading for my newest wheelgun and today had a chance to try it out.I started with 8.5 grains of Unique under Oregon Trail Laser Cast 215 grain LSWC,it seems like a decent loading,fairly accurate and not punishing to shoot.It sure is a lot of fun shooting the bigger thumpers.
  8. I have the Tracker M627 in the 4 inch barrel with porting and really like the pistol.Its very accurate and actually fun to shoot even with magnum loads.I think the porting really helps.I have a total of 3 Taurus revolvers all made in the last couple of years and have had zero problems from any of them.I would definetely buy them again and probably will pick another one up in a different caliber a ways down the road.heres my 3.
  9. I kinda did the big bore thing,but alas its only a Ruger Redhawk in .41 Magnum,Not a Smith but it will do.I say go for it,nothing beats a good revolver.:D
  10. I had a LLama .45ACP that would not cycle a full mag without a jamb,returned it to the factory,after several weeks of waiting I got it back in the same condition.this was 30 years ago and have not bought one since.
  11. Ditto for me,a Taurus 991 with not a misfire so far,and am even using the Winchester el-cheapo ammo from Wally World.
  12. Just logged in myself and all is working fine.
  13. The SP101's shoot really nice,they will hold together for a long while also.I switched from carrying semi-auto's to the Ruger awhile ago,not a bad decision I feel.Congrats on the 2 new shooters.
  14. Yup,they are a nice shotgun for the money,I have the 88 security version with the 18.5 inch barrel. I mounted a Lazerlyte add on tri rail so I can use my Streamlight on it.Congrats on the new security system,I hope you dont have to use it any time soon.
  15. Range USA and Guns And Ammo in Memphis also do lay away.
  16. A little reloading,A little cooking and A lot of loafing.
  17. Nice,2 are always better than 1.
  18. Very nice 1911 you have there.I like the all stainless look,very clean lines.
  19. Well,completed the night with no more further adventures.The feud between these 2 entities is not over,it was starting already about 4 days ago,we were out going for a walk and all these teens were in the middle of another street a block over shouting obsenities and calling out these other 2 young people.Its getting so a person cant even go for a simple stroll without the local theatrical events.I just wish people would grow up and act right,of coarse it makes me wonder where the parental units are at when this kinda behavior is present.I think the parents are the ones that need the smackdown.
  20. Yah,now I have been going out and doing a security check just to make sure there is nothing askew,it may have been the right response but sometimes it makes a person wonder if its really worth the extra headache and worry.
  21. I was standing on my front deck tonight which is fronting the street,to make a long story short,there were about 8 teenagers walking one way down the street and from the other direction was a young couple walking 2 small dogs.Apparently there are some issues between these sets of fine upstanding youngsters.First some name calling erupted then the physical wording of someones going to get their a###s beat down.So I opened my big mouth and told them to keep moving in opposite directions or I was calling the law,well I got some mouthing off but they did move along,eventually I was able to come in and calm down.anyone ever have to deal with what appears to be the starting of some type of gang activity,now I am a little worried that they may retaliate by vandalizing our vehicles or possibly worse.any ideas anyone,was it handled correctly,what would you have done.I dont feel as I should have to put up with this behavior in front of my house or in front of my grandchildren.
  22. I try not to ever leave my carry weapon at home,as like a lot of others,I feel if I am going thru the motions and expense of the permit,also keeping up with the new laws,I dang sure am going to have a piece with me whenever possible.Now if for some odd reason I cant take a pistol with me it makes me a little nervous with out it.I although purposely do NOT visit any business or areas that are firearm restricted,that includes restaurants or stores of any kind or nature.I also would place my percentage of being armed at 95%.
  23. I would choose the SP101,Oh wait,I did.Been there,done the semi-auto thing.I put down my semi's for carry and am fully comfortable with the fact of 5 rounds plus a speed strip in the left pocket.
  24. I have the Maverick Security Model,18.5 inch barrel and comes with the black synthetic stock.All the standard Mossberg barrels will fit the Maverick.On a side note the safety is mounted on the trigger guard which for myself is the right place for it.The Mossberg 500 safety is on the top of the receiver.
  25. I have a MTM Mini that goes up to 750 grains that was about $35.00,I also use a RCBS Rangemaster 750,I usually set the RCBS and then double check with the MTM,so far they have both worked quite well.Originally I crossed checked both of them against a Lee beam scale.Its a good idea to do that cross ckecking thing I guess.The only thing I dont like about the MTM is it also has the auto shut off set too short.My RCBS has a wall adapter so I plug it in,let it warm up and then zero it.This way a person can then just leave it turned on.I am reloading nothing but target rounds so my measurements are normally for Unique or Bullseye and on the light side say between 3 and 6 grains.Both scales measure this pretty accurately from what I can tell.
