Congrats on the new G21. I bought a Gen 4 G17 earlier in the year, and it's my all time favorite Glock. It fits my hand better than any Glock I've ever owned. I've not had a minutes trouble with mine. I know some folks had some trouble with the early models, but I think they've ironed out most of the issues now.

very nice. I've owned two RIA's ( though neither was as nice as yours), and they were both very accurate and reliable with any ammo I put in them. congrats on the purchase/trade.

Somewhere G.Gordon LIddy has to be smiling in approval....Bikini babes and machine guns was one of his ideas for calendars years ago, back when he still had his mainstream radio show.

I was on the fence about this, too, but found a good deal on a 238, so I went ahead and got it. Very pleased with it overall. I can honestly say I don't know what I'll sell to get a 938, but if they turn out as nice a gun as the 238, I'll have to find a way to own one.

For 9mm I like Berry's 115 grain RN plated bullets over 4.5 grains of Unique. Works well for my Glock 17.

This kid is a punk. He and his buddy robbed a guy with a tree limb, and when they got caught he just made up some jibberish. Its just like yelling police brutality because the handcuffs are too tight. He's nothing more than a thug and apparently he's not a very good one.

You might try this link as well. I've found it useful a few times.

Looks nice.

If you took the mag disconnector safety out, then you should not need the magazine to reassemble the pistol. I know it is a simple thing, but is the hammer strut in the right place?
You might also check out Rimfire Central. com and go to the forum for your pistol and do a search for your trouble.

Thanks, Jonnin. I realize now that I did not word my question properly, but you answered it nonetheless. Thank you.

I have some 100 grain round nose FMJ bullets that I bought for my .380 reloads and I want to load some up for my 9mm. I found a safe starting load listed for the powder, but i'm not finding any information about a minimum OAL. Lyman shows 1.005 for 95 grain FMJ and 1.090 for 115 grain JHP in the 9mm, but no listing for 100 grain RN or FMJ. The average OAL for the first few rounds I've rolled are 1.04.
I know the rounds will fit in the chamber, I've dropped them in and they fit fine. My concern is how do you know if they are too short, possibly causing too much pressure?

As a newbie, I recently started out with the single stage Lee Anniversary Kit that I purchased NIB off of eBay. it came with most of the things I needed to get started, and let me get a taste of reloading to see if I was going to enjoy it, and stick with it without investing an arm and a leg. I've now loaded about 700 rounds of 9mm and 38 specials since getting started and I'm hooked. I don't see a progressive press in my immediate future, but I do see the advantages of using one, if you wanted to get started that way.
Someone also suggested to me buying a reloading manual first and doing some reading to see what all is involved before spending the money to buy the equipment, and I did. I would say that helped me quite a bit, and I would offer that same suggestion to you. I purchased the Lyman manual, but there are others that I am sure are as good, or better. good luck!

Thanks.
I put it in the mag, put the magazine in the gun and racked the slide. The round went right in with no trouble, and the slide returned to full battery. Anything else I should look for?

Let me begin by saying I'm a relative newcomer to reloading.
I recently decided to reload some .380s and purchased the necessary dies. I already had some Berry's (.356) 115 grain RN plated bullets on hand for reloading for my 9mm. I found a recipe for this weight bullet in my Lyman's manual, however the first case I loaded has a slight bulge where the bullet is seated into the casing. The OAL is fine, and I loaded at the starting amount of powder. I am just sort of concerned by the bulge in the case. I've noticed some folks selling bullets which are .355 for .380 and some are selling .356 for .380. On first blush, it appears all should work just fine, but I prefer to err on the side of caution.
Did I do something wrong, or does this size bullet require a 9mm expanding die in order to get a good fit for the bullet?
Thanks in advance.

No experience with classes from Range USA, but do I shoot there often, and they normally have a friendly staff. Likewise, I'm sure the training is first class and thorough.
I did take the Level II handgun course two years ago at RangeMaster. the instructor was Randy Richardson. It was a good course and Randy and his staff did a nice job. Tom teaches part of the course via pre-recorded video segments. It was money well spent. It is my understanding any course after level II Tom personally teaches.

Wmann,
I'd recommend you consider the Kahr CW9!
Just kidding with you. I think the Glock 19 is a solid performer in this role.
-
I picked up a Kahr CW9 at a gun show three weeks ago, and it has been flawless. My brother in law purchased the CM9, which is essentially the cheaper version of the well known PM9 the same day, and his has also been boringly reliable. We took them to the range and ran over 200 rounds of mixed target ammo through both of them, without so much as a burb. If you want a single stack 9, then the Kahr CM9 would be a good choice.
-
A TGO member did have a like new Kahr CW45 for sale in the Classifieds for around $400. Might give you the best of both worlds. Slim and easy to conceal, but shoots the flying ashtrays you love. What's not to love?

After visiting with Canebreaker at his home yesterday evening, I got an idea of what sort of bench I wanted. For the time being I'll be reloading in one of our bedrooms that doubles as my office. After surfing the net for ideas, I stumbled upon this workbench at Harbor Freight for $26.99. Took it home and assembled it. I then attached the press and powder dispenser to the bench. For what I needed, this is perfect. Does not take up much room, can be easily lifted and moved from one place to another, and yet it is sturdy enough to withstand the movement of the lever. The top is approximately 18"' X 20" x1/2" and is made of fiber board. There are two cheap shelves built in which can serve to hold accessories and tools. I'm not certain how long the press board stuff will hold up, but if and when it does wear out, I feel certain I can cut a piece of 3/4" plywood to replace it pretty easily. Now I just have to get my dies and I'll be ready to get started. Thanks to all who have answered my questions about getting started, and especially a big "thank you" to Canebreaker who was kind enough to invite a total stranger to his home to share reloading information. Canebreaker is a great guy who certainly knows a lot about reloading. Thanks again, Jimmy!

I've sold a couple of guns on Armslist and my experience has been positive overall. I did have a guy contact me last week on a gun I had for sale saying he would buy the gun, but was not going to provide any sort of government issued ID. He went on to say he has a problem with our government, and he does not think they have the right to require him to have any sort of ID. He may be a good guy, but I chose to pass on selling to him. I figured Homeland Security has him on their radar already and the last thing I need was to get all mixed up in something like that...

Sonny, just when it seems you have every gun I think I want, you go and buy another one..or in this case, two.... Congrats on the nice pair. Be interested in your range report comparing the two.
State Rep. Kernell (Memphis) Robbed at Gunpoint

A little more information here in this link. The story is still pretty sketchy. They did not even say when this happened, or the name of the suspects or when they were arrested, even after tracking them for four days using the GPS in his cell phone. Something here does not pass the smell test. There is more to this story than the good State Rep is willing to admit to the press. Contrary to his statement in the story, I think this isn't about giving Memphis another black eye. This is about not harming someone's reputation during an election year. Hookers, drugs, homosexual love triangle?....
