Can you remove the "stock" bar off the back? Looks great, I really like shooting my plr.

mag is different, you can't stuff a 9mm into a 380 mag in general and the 238 was made to keep it small, so they certainly did not make oversized mags for it.

it fit in my 238's holster which is a ramorra pocket holster for the general size of gun. I do not know if it will fit in a very specific molded holster, it would depend? I have the 238 sig plastic retention clip on holster, I can try it in that if you want. Most 238 holsters probably work if they have any give or extra room?

I will hand it to them, that was genius. Make it too big to read, and no one will. I do not think even the SCOTUS judges read it. I know the congressmen did not read the whole thing. People are still finding scary new things in there.

I dunno about my nano. The spring on the striker grinds and scrapes as you pull the trigger, and I have yet to find any way to make it smooth out. The trigger is the ONLY issue with the gun, it has a great take-down, is accurate and reliable, nice and small. Just try the trigger before you buy it .... it won't change from the first time you pull it either, just will NOT break in, at least mine will not. MSRP and actual price are about as related as the apprasial price of jewelery is to actual price: not at all. Of those I would probably go for the cm9 but the sig is also nice. I do not know the current prices, just saying MSRP is about useless. 99% sure the laser can be removed.

Wow.... you might want to seriously look into reloading in the long run. I can make a box of 9s for a little over $5 in about 15-20 min... you would have to make 2 boxes a day to feed that habit...

I have the grey gripped one, forget the buzzword for that setup. Its slowly breaking in, trigger is cleaning up nicely.

get it reported to the cops asap with serial number! If and when it is sold --- if a background check is done, they will run the gun's SN and it will flag. Getting it back.... maybe, maybe not. I have heard stories both ways, where it is indefinitely stowed as evidence and where it is returned .... I would kiss it goodbye and if you get it back, be happy.

It looks like the 19th may be good, need to get wife approval though, if so I will bring some slugs, loaded rounds, and the load data and all for you to do what you will.

correct, government corruption is actually probably good for the economy --- lobbiests get paid, it creates jobs, as does cronyism and other pork. Much as we hate pork, a lot of it goes to projects that do turn into jobs. What causes the economy to collapse is when there is a crisis of epic magnitude, such that food or gold or ammo or medicine etc are worth more than money, when things reach a point that people would rather not have the money because no one wants to give up items that help survive to get more scraps of potentially worthless and certainly useless pieces of paper. Or in short, the economy collapses when the money can no longer be used because it is not trusted to hold any real value. Typical corruption does not lead down that path, although some sort of military takeover of the government to annoint a leader for life might do it.

You would have to get everyone to agree to stop printing / creating (eletronic) money for it to work unless these values were always in flux. If always in flux, its already there: you can already exchange currency for other currency or gold. If everyone agreed to stop printing money, there would be an enormous incentive to mine up the untapped gold reserves (there are probably hundreds of thousands of tons of unmined gold that we have located but not yet dug up) and countries with the most undug gold would have serious advantages for a while.

A gold standard is great, but at the moment, we do not have the gold. That is, if everyone in the country wanted to exchange their physical and electronic dollars for real pounds of real yellow metal, the USA does not have the gold to do it, even at today's high gold prices. Swapping to a gold standard, then, would devalue the dollar MORE as they would have to take the existing gold and divide it by the existing and future created (money is constantly created) value. It would become clear that an oz of gold would be worth probably in the $10-25k range! In the event of a total collapse, which is an economic reset button, that is another story, but to swap to a gold standard today would be to devalue everything at an insane rate of inflation. Edit: we have billions of today's dollars in gold, but we would need trillions. 10X value of gold to dollars is not too wild a guess. They just did a partial inventory of the gold we have.

Apparently the beard+turban mode of dress is very similar and many people confuse them visually, at least the men. The women dress very differently.

welcome! Lot of people highly recommend the M&P sport for an inexpensive pre-built AR. I have a similar model, one or two grades "better" (I have the ever popular dust cover and forward assist, ooooo...) but basically the same thing. It has been excellent, accurate and reliable at a reasonable price.

Ask at your range if they have any instructors. They may have someone certified or know someone. I am neutral about learning on the glock. On the one hand, its your gun, you are gonna carry it one day maybe, and the more you use that one, the better you get with it. It isnt a target pistol but (and I dislike them... keep that in mind) they are plenty accurate. On the other hand, the trigger is unfriendly and the recoil is a bit stout and can lead to flinching. I will leave you with one thought: if you are serious, a .22 target pistol (not talking olympic here, just a ruger mark or similar gun, $400 or so) will pay for itself in short order and is much better for accuracy training. By the time you have pulled the trigger on that 9mm 2500-3000 times, the ammo cost would have paid for both the .22 AND the same amount of ammo for it.... or very nearly.

second on the credit unions. Its really hard to beat them --- there are a couple of things they cannot do that a bank can, but anything they can do, it will be better than a bank. If you can afford it, try to put enough money on the table to avoid escrow, which is just another fee/service that you pay but do not need. You have to get escrow if you don't put enough down.

pressing charges against known dope dealing drunk and violent people in a case where you have a low chance of them being put away for any real time? You want these guys mad at you/him, mad enough to do something even more stupid?? If you can't kill em then & there at least don't create an enemy that will kill you later. Let it go, but be alert & wary --- as you would be anyway.

AR. The mini is far less accurate, uses nonstandard mags, is difficult to reload (you can put the mag in and it clicks but is not really seated, and getting it to hook on the post can be slow/aggravating), and has fewer accessories. The mini is a lot of fun but the ar, even the cheapest ones, are better in most categories.

In the USA, at one point the difference was the constitution. A liberal thinks it is flexible, a conservative would have it set in stone and ammended if a change is needed. Neither side fits THAT anymore. There is also a world-wide liberal vs conservative usage, and also a world-wide social (liberal, conservative) usage, and an economic version, and a couple more. these days both sides go against their own platform to cater to voters which makes it even muddier. For example liberals champion the individual and his rights --- until the individual wants to own a gun or be a christian or speak out against illegal aliens. The conservatives champion freedom and small governement, until the government wants to enforce "christianesque" morality, that is ok for some reason. Trying to make sense of it today is pointless. There are a few major talking points but people have become so polarized into one camp or the other that at times it seems like whichever side has any idea or stance, the other side takes the opposite stance out of spite.

I would argue back that if you had ordered anything else in the world, it would be the same thing. Say you ordered the model 1000 toaster but GE stops making it and now has the new and improved (more plastic, less metal) 1001 model. So they send you that instead explaining that the model 1000 is no longer made. You can return it or keep it, but that is how it is. Guns are nothing special and most companies will do this if they update a model and stop producing the old version. Often the new model is less good, sometimes its better, that all varies, but I would not say they did something "wrong" or different from most other places. I think something like this happens to me about every third time I order a computer part -- they ran out of the cheap part I was going to buy because it was cheap (because it was slated to be replaced...) and send me the latest one instead. It happens.... You have every right to be mad, and to return them, that is not what I am saying. I am just saying they have not done anything that is not pretty common practice in most other industries, and from the sound of it, they did their best to give you something that is of equal quality (though perhaps not equal value).

been using this in the .44 http://www.missourib...ry=12&keywords= and these in 380/9mm/38/357 http://www.missourib...ry=27&keywords= and have also used their 9mm, 30-30, 9x18, and some others. I would just try these for your project: http://www.missourib...ry=10&keywords= which is a SWC 158 grain 357. I would almost bet that any mild powder would result in no leading without a bunch of extra caution an worry over it. I have not tried this specific one, however. The only thing about this brand is they pick a hardness alloy that fits the caliber, supposedly. Maybe that is why the leading is not an issue. Also, the big draw factor for me here is the 9x18 + reasonable prices. If you want to try the 380s or 44s I could give you a few to try.

Hah, whoever wrote that one has some nerd rage going over it too. Glad she is gone --- its one thing to vote something down, its another to block a vote entirely. Topic could have been anything, what she did was wrong.

This sort of thing just blows my mind. I just don't understand how someone can think this would be a good idea, even if mad. It only makes sense if the guy has the mentality of a 4 year old, and if that were the case, he would not be able to function as an adult, or afford a tractor, or pot, etc. They should let him go so he can continue to work to pay for the damage, and garnish his wages and/or benefits until it is paid for. Prison just costs the repairs + his room& board. Would taking someone's money until the end of time be cruel and unusual?... It isnt in the case of divorce, so I am not sure.

talking CO2 vs O2. They have the same amount of O in both! O2 is more easy to break apart. I am not sure if CO2 would promote rust over time or not, but you would be far better off with helium which is cheap, get a balloon or 3. Rust is FeO, but to produce it, water plays a role due to an oxidization-reduction reaction which I have forgotten how that works but it is a multiple stage reaction instead of a simple one. What it boils down to is that water is the big enemy, while oxygen containing "air" or co2 or whatever is not as bad. However since the goal is zero rust, rather than just preventing 'bad' rust, getting the oxygen out too would be the best approach IMHO. I think "air" or C02 either one would cause at least minor rusting over a long period. If there is any hydrogen in the mix, it will get worse in a hurry. My chemistry is pretty rusty, (!!!) so I better stop there.

to trim the case, you can easily make one of the lee hand trimmers for a rilfe work, cut the "length" bar to get close then grind it a little at a time until it trims enough off. 303 brit & 7.65 mauser or something in 7.62 should be about the right case diameter so all you have to do is get the bar the right length. If the trimmer diameter is too big you can use sandpaper and the drill to reduce it just a little bit as well. I did that on my makarov trimmer so it would fit into 9mms more easily without a size before trim approach. Not sure what to say about the cases, anyone try 327 mag?
