  1. Do it. A small space is just fine. I mounted most of my equipment to 2X4s and then just move them around my bench or inside infront of the tv with clamps. A larger bench seems to collect other things from other projects. Mine is covered in white pine right now.
  2. I use hornady one shot with my .30 carbine carbide dies as it makes it a hell of a lot easier. The powder does stick a little to the sides, but never had any problems so far and the rife / ammo is wickedly accurate.
  3. Are you using carbide dies?
  4. Mine has been passed down since it was bought new sometime in the early to mid 70's and to my knowlege a drop tube has never been used with it. I simply mount it to my bench using the clamp and drop it into the pan that came with my scale. At that point it either goes on the scale or gets dropped into the case. I've had no problems with this method so far.
  5. I've done just over 2k rounds on mine, but to be honest I've never used the auto index. I run it like a hybrid single stage / turrent and in this configuration its been rock solid. Lee stuff is cheap and in most cases seems to be of excellent quality for the price they charge, but there will be minor issues (If your using lee carbide dies for .30 carbine you'll notice that the sizer undersizes the brass to the point a 110 grain fmj will bulge the brass). I also have had a lee 9mm sizer that was damaged when I bought it and likes to crush brass if you don't hand guide it into the die. The auto indexing is another issue I've read about, but haven't experienced. Like most everything else in life: Cheap, Fast and Reliable. PICK TWO. Long story short, I'm happy with mine and think you will be too if you can get your press tuned in (or try to demand a new one from Lee).
  6. Thanks to Guns and Leather for letting us come out. It was great to meet a few of you and I really appreciate the brass.
  7. Looks like I'll be able to make it as they've decided my shift dosen't change until Monday.
  8. Except for the primer shortage. I ran out of pistol primers about six months ago and my rifle primers are almost gone too. Ammo shelves are empty. I bought factory ammo for the first time in two years, but only cause icehead had some ammo at a very fair price.
  9. Belly band (I think mine is uncle mikes). Works great, cheap and my G27 never moves.

    Dry Fire Help

    When you dry fire try putting a quarter on your front sight and then pull the trigger without it falling off. This won't work with many handgun front sights, but it will with a glock. When your at the range have a friend or fellow shooter mix dummy rounds(can be bought anywhere for just about any caliber) with live ammo in your magazine. You'll be able to tell really quick if your jerking the gun around. It's also great for malfunciton drills. For point shooting, you'll get much better at this as you improve your trigger pull and sight picture, but you can always tape over your front and back sight.
  11. I've flown multiple times with my Glock stuck in its hard case (a locked hard case is all that was required) from the manufacturer and a walmart padlock. Ammo only needed to be stored in a factory like box (box and foam) not a locked container.
  12. Glock 27 w/ Glock 23 mag (like the full grip, but too lazy to sell G27 and get a G23) Glock 22 mag Streamlight Scorpion SOG flash II knife Car keys Sony Ericson Phone (more lag than a dial up connection) Other keys Wallet ID wallet Pager Fossil watch not pictured as it currently needs a battery Six year old Oakley sunglasses(forgotten cause they're on top of my head) Cheap pen (forgotten in the pocket)
  13. I was wondering if it was me, the sights, the ammo or all three. I'd swear on the first target I shot that blazer ammo was hitting the target sideways. Thanks for the website, I'm sure it will get me in trouble with the woman.
  14. And the last two... Glock 22 .40 S&W: S&W mod 36 .38 spl (I must admit I shot this one single action the double action results were scary):
  15. Well, I went to Guns and Leather today with the collection and have to say it was a humbling experience. I shot two targets per gun and took the "best" of the two. Browning Hi Power 9mm (probably my favorite pistol until I put together a good load for my new 1911): My brand new first 100 rounds today Colt Commander 1911 series 80 .45 ACP:
  16. To toss some ideas around; There are very few officers that would approach an armed individual without backup, so figure two officers at minimum. You know you are a law abiding citizen and should be treated as such until shown to be otherwise, but do you think the officer knows who you are or your intentions? Assuming that you're a law abiding citizen can get an officer or officers killed. THAT IS A FACT. I think your underestimating how well handled your situation was by the officers, though not perfect. You could have been laid out spread eagle on the concrete at gunpoint and handcuffed until the "situation" was resolved. But you weren't. The questions you were asked about you date of birth, address, phone number, SS# ect. are all normal. I know this is hard to believe, but a great many people don't update their addressed when they move. Another hard to believe; people lie. A lot. I have personally seen DLs and IDs that have Joe Blow citizen's information, but ****head used his photo and did some laminating (holographs can be hard to see on the IDs) to get a new ID. The officer asking those questions can check your answers to the ID and other information to make sure everything adds up. Here is the big one; When officers are called to the scene for ANYTHING, ANY REASON AT ALL no matter how BS it sounds they are obligated, both by duty and morally to see that you are not violating the law and more importantly not a danger to the public at large. How would you feel if the officers had gotten the call, came to the scene assumed the guy with a handgun was a law abiding citizen (cause he looked normal), didn't ask for a permit(because only good guys open carry), didn't do a records check(because people with suspended or revoked permits always turn them in and people with warrants just jump into the police car to go to jail) and left after complementing his weapons choice only to have guy go nuts with a stolen gun, no permit and a long history of violence and kill YOUR family. Be thankful he was doing his job. No experience is going to be perfect, some cops are *******s(so are some doctors, construction workers and postal employees ect.), people should mind their own damn business unless something is wrong and you have every right to carry however in this state with a permit, but know that you will be the center of attention from time to time. Sorry for the long post, I'm going to Guns and Leather.
  17. No rifles at Guns and Leather, Shotguns with permission.
  18. Toss this one around: What about trading firearms between two residents of different states?

    handgun on a flight

    Don't forget you can go to the short line (can't remember what they call it) for firearms and such. Nashville has never given me any trouble, but Pittsburgh takes forever, both times now, between walking the gun across the ticket counter area and three tsa people staring at it for 5 mins. Disclaimer*** I don't know the legalities of this, but I field strip the gun in the case and carry on whatever small inconspicuous(sp?) part of the gun to keep it from working should it be stolen. In my case I carry on the recoil spring(glock 27) and haven't had an issue yet. It is just a spring after all.

    Taurus Judge

    Antioch, one died at point blank range. Another showed up at the hospital with shot in him, but survived.
  21. Great stuff! I've gone through just over 1k rounds of the current Greek surplus without a problem. Its very accurate and dirt cheap.
  22. If every robbery in Davidson Co. similar to this made the news, the news would be two hours long. On a normal day, not every day mind you, south precinct(east of I65 / west of Murfreesboro pke / south of I 40 / north of the county line) alone gets an easy 6 robberies and most days its closer to 10. And 99% of all these robberies happen just like the account above. Approached by 1, but usually more males, produce handguns when they have them, they demand money and then leave. Some are more aggressive or violent(shove the gun in your face or hit you with it) Be careful out there.
