    Lots of comments regarding how the media would be up in arms if this had been a black kid. But, I've seen a lot of "XX number of people shot and killed in Chicago last weekend" stories, and that's as far as they go. I'm sure some of those people have been little kids, but you don't see their name or their picture or anything else about the shooting. Just the total deaths for the weekend.

    I'm sure we can all agree that the media are always doing a less-than-perfect job, just like all the rest of us. And, while more air time might help in some way to decrease the violence in a city like Chicago, I suspect that more exposure for this particular story isn't likely to prevent a lunatic from killing anyone in the future.

    And typically it's black on black crime/shooting, again not the narrative. 

  2. I just ventured into the 44 magnum this past week.  Taurus M44SS 4inch.  (I'll have to post a picture later) First Taurus revolver to go along with my Smiths and Rugers.  I am really surprised with the trigger, pretty smooth right out of the box.

    I went for the 4 inch strictly for the weight, since my daughter would want to shoot it.

    First I bought components before the gun.  Put together some light loads for my daughter to shoot, 5gr Tite Group over 240 jsp.  powder puff round but accurate at 10 yards.  Loaded some magnum rounds with 18.7 gr of 2400.

    Ordered 1000 coated SWC last night from Summers Enterprises out of Arkansas. 

    Found 1 box of 44 special for $48, passed on that.

  3. Read, watch video's and read some more.  The Lee loading manual is a must have.  I also like the Lyman.

    Just remember you can never be too anal when it comes to loading, nothing like a squib to pucker you up.

    You will enjoy loading and experimenting with different loads.

    I load pistol cartridges, 32, 327, 9, 38, 357, 40 and 45

    What equipment are you set up with?  

  4. Mistakes happen.

    When I was in my mid-20's living in Houston in the 80's I lived on the 3rd floor of an apartment building. The apartments were basically 3 identical buildings in a row, I lived in the middle building. I was home one night with my door unlocked, I know, not smart, I noticed my door knob start to turn, I jumped up ran to the door opened it and confronted the guy on the other side of the door. He said he had the wrong apartment building and was sorry for the mistake. His key went into the key hole and he turned the key, since the door was not locked the door knob moved.  So I know mistakes like this can happen, usually firearms are not involved.

    Did she commit murder, I don't think so based on what I have heard. However, I am not privy to what the jury knows.

    I think that it should be either second degree murder or manslaughter. I also think that she was just made an example of and she has to pay the price of past injustices, real or not.

  5. I have 2 px4's,  .40s&w in sc and 9mm compact.  I like them both.  The 40 is extremely accurate for a sc.  I should probably get rid of the bat wings as well.  I also added a mag extension to enable it to accept the compact mags.  Now I can carry 15 as opposed to 11 rounds ( 1 chambered 14 in the mag).

    I too had FTE issues at first and sent it back to Beretta 3 times before they figured it out.  I finally sent them a video as to what was happening.  Turned out to be the follower.  They replaced the mags and no issues after that.
