I dont get the "now" part of the comments. This sort of thing has happened since the dawn of time in one way or another. When was this mythical time where people did not rob and murder one another? I cannot seem to recall it in my lifetime. I wish the worst on this guy when they catch him, though, pretty low down.

My para ssp had similar issues and they were caused by the poor factory magazines, swapping mags cured it.

moderately easy. The smallest stores will not have it. Its pricy, as much as $25 / 50 and even more for defensive ammo. Actually defense ammo probably normals out at the standard buck a round levels of every other caliber.

Collector item, not much of a shooter. I have not seen one in many years. The kel tec 22 mag is supposedly coming along now, after a rocky start, if you just want a 22 mag auto for a shooter that might be the way to go.

I know they are here so if you want one its yours. It may take me a week to find them, but they cannot have gone far. If you buy one just toss me a PM, and I will find them over christmans regardless.

I am 175, that has little to do with it. I cannot fire any of the DAO 9s or 380s because I have carpel tunnel. Well, I can fire them, but if I practiced with on at the range I would be unable to use my hands for 2 days after (did that once, ouch!). My wife is near 6 foot tall and weighs more than yours (not giving any numbers..!) but her wrists are not strong enough to avoid LW these little 9s, its got nothing to do with her weight.

Caster, I have some extra glock barrels floating around for a 19. Somehow my dad had 2 or 3 extas for it, and he didnt even shoot lead rounds. At least one is new in the package but I doubt the gun has 5 boxes total thru it on any of the barrels. It may take me a little time to track one down but I can work something out with you if you go this route. I think one of them may be ported, its been a long time since I looked at it, the gun is with my sister and the barrels are who knows where.

Plenty of people have survived multiple gunshots in major calibers. Plenty of people have died from being stabbed. Plenty have died from mouseguns too. Mousegun is not even meaningful anymore; I have a 9mm that is not much bigger than the old .25s. But 30 years ago the small guns were small caliber, its a rather recent trend of the past decade or so for guns over 380 in small platforms, apart from the 2 shot derringers that is. Lot of old timers just keep to their old guns, which are still the smaller calibers, seeing no need to "upgrade" to a .40 "mousegun". I like the biggest thing I can get into a pocket, so this trend suits me and I have changed guns 4 times in 10 years because of it. Calling it lazy to prefer a pocket pistol is a little harsh. There is a reason for the trend I mentioned, and its because they SELL, and they sell because people want small, potent guns. Because they are easier to carry or deal with; I find a large pistol a huge aggravation at work as a desk jockey, its always pushed into me whether my back or side from the chair or my belly from being bent 90 degrees. In my pocket I do not feel it all day long, that is a winner. Carrying a 22 or something when a 9mm is the same size seems odd to me, but I am not going to go into that deeply. Keep in mind a lot of the small 9s and 40s are hard to shoot, with terrible triggers (my nano for example is borderline unusable) and stout recoil. Not every shooter is a 250 pound bodybuilder with wrists of iron and a grip of steel. Some people need a weaker gun as they cannot control the little pocket rockets, whether that is a recoil issue or a 20 pound 2 inch long trigger pull issue (exaggerated, but as one person put it, the trigger should not weigh more than the gun).

And you will not, because not every .45 pistol made since 1860 or whenever can withstand that. The better modern ones can, but the ammo company has to keep to what the worst/oldest gun can handle, which means... cowboy loads. You can load a 9mm up to "magnum" levels too, with say A #2 powder at 7 - 8 grains, but you won't find that on the shelf either because it would break most pistols after a few shots.

Once you pay the fine its no longer a pistol and not usable on HCP. Just grab the magazine well with a 30 round AR mag in it for a grip, its pretty comfy to hold that way. Rumors of a 300 blackout model in the next year or so are appearing, if that interests you.

one of those is a bokker, which tend to be 50-100 new and are generally high quality, esp the older ones. The red one looks to be fairly old and in good shape, but not 100% sure of its value. The coke one may interest someone but there a jillion coke themed knives and which ones are of value is beyond me, most are not worth anything. Of all that the bokker is the only one I would say is worth over 50 if you found the right buyer.

I really liked the "who reads the rules, not me" thought. Very macho, like trying to put together the kids christmas gifts without reading the instructions, I am proud of his stubborn refusal to give in. Proud I tell you! I wish him well on his next road trip when he refuses to get some directions, and the rest of his life, which is undoubtably going to have a lot of very stressful moments if he sticks to this manly path.

tru glo has been reasonable on my pistol -- it broke, they gave me a new one, no questions asked (I think I actually wore out the switch from use). It has held zero for over 6 months and I shoot it 2, 3 times a week. For the price I have been very happy with them. Only real complaint about it is the dot is huge.

I would think that unloaded and or taken apart is not "carrying" it. At that point you are looking at the transportation rules, which are different from carry rules ... right? It would be like going through new york with one taken apart and unloaded in the car, its being transported, not carried, and I think there was a ruling on that a couple of years back (one of the lawyers will know). But this may lead down that grey area rabbit hole... where you may be in the right but still end up paying a ton in lawyer fees and time and aggravation that could have been avoided --- a determined cop or prosecutor can make your life miserable for a decade even if you didnt do a darn thing wrong.

good point, ive been in open so long I was not thinking about it. I want to try one, but so far have not even seen one for sale...

The packages tend to have poorish scopes; if you want to take it past short ranges (past 200 yards or so), buy the rifle and scope seperate. If you just want a 100 or so yard gun, they are a good bargain. I did not get to play much in this area, was looking when I found the browning lever 308 sold by a member here and have been happy with that so I stopped looking. That savage is certainly a nice gun, I looked at those but did not get to shoot one. I put an inexpensive BSA 6 to 24x (I think, maybe its 8-24) scope on mine, sort of silly looking since its "tacticool" looking but it delivers.

Are you letting it cool between shots? Some rifles are very wild if fired hot, others it makes no difference. If it has copper in it there is a chemistry solution that will not ruin the bore... and a copper brush as found in any cleaning kit will get most of that out too. Avoid mr drill & brush, that is overkill and may (most likely will) damage something. A gunsmith can check the crown and bore but honestly if you can see rifleing and the crown does not show any wear, its probably ok. Its very unlikely to be nice looking and worn out, as its rather difficult to wear out a single shot gun, that would take decades of serious shooting. It could be internals in the scope, very cheap scopes, esp very old ones, can work loose inside even if the mounts are tight, though this is rare and usually when it happens the crosshairs are off center or obviously messed up. It could also just be a lemon, time to call H&R.

the 10 mm is pretty close to a 44 of the same barrel length, 180 grains at 1400 fps and a 44 can be in that same ballpark. But the 44 is more versatile, over 100 grains of variation in bullets and loadings, 44 is a better round, so it comes down to the old revolver vs auto decision. Hollow points, not soft points, for a bear? I would have said the soft points but I have never had to shoot at one and never even seen a grizzly in the wild.

I would not trade my old kindle black and white for this thing. It has 3 major issues. 1) No 3g global wireless, it only works if you also buy a wireless router to go with it, increasing the price if you do not have one of these (I do not, and besides, half the point is car trips or airplane rides). 2) The color screen does not display printed text as cleanly as the B&W and is more reflective and 3) the touch screen is a touch screen, it gets fingerprinted as you use it constantly, I hate that. I have checked it out, as one of my friends got one right away. Its better if you want to watch movies or play games, but its far worse if you want to read a book. If you want to do movies and games, why the heck did you buy an ebook reader, its not made for it and there are better choices. It also costs a lot more, more than double.

gift card for sure. Buying a gun for someone who has not expressed a desire for that model is a good way to buy something that is difficult to return if the person does not like it. If she has shot one and loves it, thats another story. Worse, your ability to sell or trade a pink gun is reduced: most gun buyers are men and many of the women do not care for pink, its a very small market. My wife finally got a pinked gun, a ruger 10-22 variation, but she rejected all the pistols we have seen so far even though she loves pink.

I couldnt do it either but my wife managed 2-3 times per magazine until we finally gave up & sold it. Its not common, I agree, but a very weak person can certainly manage it. Same gun, same ammo, I could not make it happen.

I didnt expect the exact subspecies but any more info would really have helped. Indoor? Outdoor? Many or few? Anything at all; you really didn't give us much in that first post. If it isnt fire ants, the fire ant killer or firebombs on the nest are less than practical, for example. If they are indoor, its a 90% chance they have found their way into some food and locating that food source and removing it is the winner, combined with either a spray or other treatment to discourage them. Also the most common types puts down a chemical trail to the food, which the ants will follow for WEEKS as it is a known and marked food trail, so you have to scrub the floor between the entry point and the food source to kill the trail so they stop coming back inside. Basically, a combination of what wyattearp said + a pet safe (or not) posion will likely solve the problem. Fire ants have been in north ga and south tn border for at least 15 years, so I would not be at all amazed if they had reached nashville by now, or even farther up, they move fast.

If you can fire a 44 mag snubbie or midsize 6 times, you are a skilled revolver shooter. In the time an *average joe* can fire a revolver 6 times, the same *average joe* can probably shoot 10 or 15 from his auto, assuming that drawing them takes the same amount of time. Which extrapolates.... if you can fire twice with the revolver, you might get 5 off with the auto. It just takes a while to pull those long triggers or thumb the hammer back, while an auto with a good trigger takes very little motion and effort. I can empty my 1911 before I could pull a DA revolver trigger twice, for example. Now, if you had a heavy DAO semi auto, it wouldnt make much difference at all, it depends on the guns in question. I could empty all 8 or 9 or whatever it holds in my desert eagle before I got to shot #3 in my blackhawk, though, of that I am sure.

I hate glocks***, but I will give them their due. They do not jam if you use quality ammo and you do not limp wrist them. Now, they are very easy to limp wrist if you have very weak hands/wrists/arms, and they have strong springs so weak/cheap ammo can fail, but those are not problems with the GUN. *** Its personal, theres not a darn thing wrong with them, they are simply the exact opposite of what I like best in the most important categories.

good to know, I didnt realize they were locked breech but its been a while since I held one. Having shot both, I wonder why the kel tec and lcp have so much more felt recoil than the sig then? It could be imagined, but or just the feel of the grip, /shurg. I just know the sig is the only one of the bunch that didnt sting my hand after a box of ammo.
