I see the same guys hogging the counter too. Step one: remove the stools, so they have to stand to "hang out". Regardless, I find equipment and powder cheaper at RB than anywhere I've been so far. Primers and bullets...not so much.

I fired another 100 flawless rounds through my Gen 4 Glock 17 today. This gun is starting to grow on me. After doing a trigger job, it shoots much smoother...I bet it'll be real sweet when I put a 3.5# connector and stronger trigger spring in it.

I've been thinking about taking some lessons to help me learn how the bumpy thingies on top work for aiming.

I'm not a Glock fan, but I have a Gen 4 G17 and I used to have a Gen 3 G34. Neither gun EVER gave me a moment's trouble. I did have a squib recently, but that was my fault.

How I knew they weren't REAL cops... When he turned around with siss-cotti hanging out of his mouth, I heard pistols cocking...real cops would already have their guns ready for action.

IMHO, this is the best advice you've been given. Handguns are harder to learn to shoot well than a long gun. Buying a Ruger Mark I, II, or III is going to make you a better shot MUCH faster for 2 reasons: 1) EVERYONE flinches from the recoil when learning to shoot a handgun. With a .22 you don't learn this bad habit. 2) Ammo is dirt cheap, so you can practice 5 to 10 times as much for the same money. Plus, when you're ready to get a self-defense gun, you can sell the Ruger for nearly what you paid for it. Let me add, however, that a Hi-Point is not a bad first centerfire handgun. Mine is accurate, reliable, and comfortable to shoot...very ugly, though.

Welcome, +1 on the search button...you'll find almost anything you're looking for

Here's how I break that down. First disregard tax, since you pay that plus some for factory ammo... 1) Powder: 7,000 grains per pound / cost per pound X grains per round = cost per round. I use 4.1 gr of Bullseye ($18) to load 115 gr bullets, so that's 1.05 cents/rd. 2) Bullets: I recently bought 1000 Berry's plated 115 gr round nose for $76 shipped, so that's 7.6 cents/rd. 3) Primers: I regularly find 1000 Winchester primers for around $38, so that's 3.8 cents/rd. 4) Brass: I saved up so much brass before I started loading that I ignore this cost, but you can buy 9mm for 4 cents/rd easy. So, you can reload a box of 9mm for $6.23 w/ your brass or $8.23 if you buy the brass. Hope that helps

Iggy, I shoot and reload about 400-500 rounds of 9mm per month now. When I first started (just this past spring, I did exactly what you did...I asked the experts. Jonnin and Dolomite helped me out a lot! I can't thank them enough for answering all my questions so patiently. I paid it forward and helped a couple of friends out when they wanted to get started. Because we all shoot pistols primarily, my friends and I settle on turret presses. Personally, I went with the Lee deluxe turret kit (everything you need to get started for about $115). I'm very happy with it and have no doubt it'll hold up well for pistol rounds. I don't think it would hold up to long-term use with rifle rounds, though. One step up is the the Classic turret. It is much stronger and costs about $110-120 (press only). The best things about the Lee turrets: they are pretty darn fast at cranking out pistol rounds, can be had very inexpensively, and can be used as a single-stage by removing the indexing rod (best of both worlds). Here's some decent starter kits: https://kempfgunshop.com//index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=190&Itemid=41.

I liked it too. The first sentence almost made me quit reading, but I'm glad I didn't. There was lots of spin, but it still had it's moments.

I shot behind him in the lineup, I think Allen was scorekeeping, but not positive. I know Adam was our SO

Hmmmm

Great match! Awesome turnout! Fun course design! Thanks to everyone that came out. Thanks for everyone that helped us set up, break down, and paste/reset targets! I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

Strong-side: CZ P-01 w/ CTL in a Crossbreed Supertuck and a Benchmade clipped in front pocket with iPhone Weak-side: Kel-Tec P-32 in front in a DeSantis pocket holster, wallet in rear, an 18-round mag from my Shadow IWB in a leather pouch w/ clip that I made myself and keys clipped to belt loop w/ a carabiner

Can I bring my Ruger Mark II and enter it as a 2nd gun in What's the Point? I don't want you to win uncontested!...although my shooting might count as uncontested, LOL.

I don't have a choice. I only own 9mm or less handguns. A friend is bringing his compact .45. I can't wait to see how 2 vs 1 turns out.

I don't like the idea of my employers being able to install a camera to watch me work, but I accept it as being within their right. That being said, I should only mind if I'm doing something wrong, right?

This whole story reeks of gov't bullying/corruption. The DOJ started all this to enforce an Indian law that protects its wood finishing union labor. Gibson imported 10 mm Rosewood and the foreign law states the "finished" wood must be 6 mm. This finishing (done in Madagascar) is ignored by other mfgs, including other guitar companies. The catch is that Gibson is the only non-union shop in the industry AND they're GOP supporters. How unabashedly unfair is that!?

I'm just sick of our gov't propping up initiatives like GW research et al. with money we don't have, just so lifelong congressmen can gain political favor, power, and money.

Besides ammo, holster, mag pouch, etc., I'd definitely water and a hand towel (wipe sweat/shooting glasses etc). Oh, and more ammo! I hope you make it out, you'll have a great time, guaranteed!

Was it a 1911?

I'm SO ready to kill me some Zombies!

Got kids? If not wait til you have dreams about all the ways you might screw that up. At least with most SD dreams, it's usually something out of your control or uncommon. To me it shows dedication and desire to do well/right. We all keep practicing, so we're as prepared as we can be. So it's only natural to worry about the things we can't control, even though everyone says not to do it. Too funny, Hipster! It would go bang AND it will hit what you aim at AND if you buy ammo with the money you save, it'll make you a better shooter

Nobody mentioned the best Zombie movie of all time...FIDO! "Timmy's best friend in the whole wide world is a six-foot tall rotting zombie named Fido. But when FIDO eats the next-door neighbor, Mom and Dad hit the roof, and Timmy has to go to the ends of the earth to keep Fido a part of the family. A boy-and-his-dog movie for grown ups, "FIDO" will rip your heart out." --IMDB

I think I found what you are looking for. LPA makes a dovetail adjustable rear sight to fit Glocks and others. When ordering you specify "Code 18" for white U-line sights. The item # is TPU32GL and here's the link: http://www.lpasights.com/catalog.html Hope that helps...good luck
