Would be a hard sell to me.   Its small and hammerless design indicates that it probably has a bear of a trigger pull -- immediately making it much worse than my gp100.   Innovation ... seems to be a standard design except for using modern materials to make the cylinder smaller;  tougher better metals let them squeeze one more round into a 5 shot cylinder sized rig.  Its probably brutal in 357 max loads for recoil.   If its a typical kimber, its pretty outside and average/just above average/ inside.     I am sure its an awesome carry piece for some folks but its not likely to be anything I want unless it has a 3 pound short trigger pull somehow. 

the lee classic is steel and not a single stage.  But ^^^ is great advice.     I can't recommend enough the lee disk powder device if you go with it.   with those two pieces you can make a box (50) of anything simple (no brass trimming or case conversion or whatever) in 15 min once you get the hang of it.    the turret movement is something you deal with.   I have no trouble with 9mm but I am very careful with it and my loads are standard pressure shot in +P rated guns so if it goes up a little I am covered.  You *can* take the turret spinner out, convert it to a single stage, and clamp the turret down if you want to fool with all that for a precise load.     Its a good thing to know going into it though.  Its going to wiggle.

  ^^^ 50% is a good average.   Some calibers you do better (380 being one of them) and some you do worse (9mm is minor savings at best against bottom shelf 9mm bulk but yours will be better quality, brass cased, precise powder control,  no bi-metal bullets or other weirdness, etc).    

  sig makes all kinds of stuff and it varies from gun to gun, you can't lump it up -- they have DAOs and 1911s and glockish and many other flavors. CZ makes good stuff, but the majority of it is flavors of one design (like glock) -- the classic cz75.   They also have some awesome rifles.   Both brands produce above average quality and workmanship firearms and are excellent choices.    It does come down to preference, though sig probably has something for most everyone in their lineup.   Wife loves the cz clone, the EAA witness.  She now has one of their elite single action target models, and its a top shelf pistol.   One of those weird cases of a clone being better than the originals.  

  Which causes the trigger to be less good because the safety is coupled to the trigger.  This is why people bother to take out the safety.  Its not that it has the stupid extra un-necessary feature (annoying as that is) its that the feature directly impacts the trigger on a target pistol, which is a big no-no.     Mine looks exactly like that one, by the way, except for the red dot brand.   That wood grip that comes on them is AWESOME feeling and good looking to boot.   But it was the feel that sold me on that model.  

  its a bird watching telescope.

  um, 380 is one of the biggest money savers out there.   I reload it for under $10 / box; pre obama it was about $5/box.  Brass is free, primers and powder are pennies to the box, projectiles I use are like 4 bucks/box.   Come to think of it even now I probably pull 380s off for under 7.50 / 50 box...   45, I haven't made any acp in a while.    I use a lee turret.  It paid for itself in just over a year.  

Don't confuse morality with legality here.   Morally, if you are equipped to save lives and feel you can do so at some acceptable risk to yourself, you probably should.   Legally, its everyone for themselves.  If they were too stupid to carry a gun, you aren't obligated to save them.  

  Mine is fully loaded ...  got an ultradot matchdot on it and converted back to a MKII internally with a Volquartsen trigger system, disabled and sealed the loaded chamber thingy.     For a while I used a cheap window type red dot but they kept failing after a while.  Ive also tried various tubes and they hold up, so I recommend a tube over a window these days.   I think the majority of the electronics are made in just a couple of places no matter the brand, so like a scope, get one with a good warranty and forget about brand names etc.  Brand names and such become worth talking when going for higher end, but not really until then.  You just want something they will replace *when* the switch wears out.

interesting, but are those dinners and other ways to sample the membership valid?   Your 80 year old white guy members might be too old to get out and go to these things more often than not.   The counting method seems questionable.

  well the container said to concentrate and inhale...

welcome!   Its a little money but my wife likes to get the gun she wants then get it colored after, rather than try to pick and choose from the 5 or 10 models that have colors.  Of course if they make what you want in the color you want...   that's a win/win.

  yep, and his response was cold.  No tears, no compassion, and extra stupid to boot.  Between his lack of compassion and his crappy response, this should bite him.   If I were trump, I would turn that into an epic ad for my campaign.

Ironically,  my emails are intact and the account still functions.   I canceled my account back when they banned gun stores from advertising with them... but they were too inept to figure out how to kill the account totally.  

  My dad did this.  A few others I have known as well.  Its not terribly common, but I can think of a billion other more important things to worry about than what that moron does with his middle finger.   It could be intentional, it could be a bad habit, and either way, I don't care.   If he did the right things for our country and flipped people off on purpose, we would be better off.

  That was rush's point exactly.

  This interests me too.  Will people give 'bama the finger and ignore the EO, and no new ffls will be obtained?   Will people get their easier to get (hah??) ffl, and buy direct for less putting the smack on the biz?   A mix of the two?   Its going to be an interesting time BUT having talked to my fair share of gun biz guys, most profit isn't in the guns.  You can't beat buds, etc, in pricing so you sell almost at cost.   Your profit is in ammo, range if you got one, services (hcp class?), accessories, ...   but that is just hearsay and observation.   I could be off the mark... but ask around.   note that if ppl follow the EO and get FFLS they have to do background checks and that is more taxes on our rights.  Until the background checks are free, they remain illegal in my eyes.

email settings matter.   Could be a local problem, for example if you are using the settings to store it locally and delete it from the server after it is downloaded to you (common for people that check mail on a single machine).   In that case, its a problem on your pc.    Could be the reverse (common for people that check it on multiple devices) ... a problem over at Comcast.    Could be a combo (and still a problem on your PC or device, but fixable since its stored in both places).   Etc.   In any event,     if it is stored at Comcast it is highly likely they can restore you from a backup.   if not they can still restore recent stuff, but old stuff may be gone for good.     going forward, I advise using a client that can store it locally on one of your machines (whether you leave it on the server or not) and periodically backing up the files that it generates.  

  well, again, if you used hydrogen or one of the propane type gasses as your powder... it wouldn't leave anywhere near as much.   Its not practical to do this and I am not sure it would generate the power we need.   Its possible to burn clean.   it would be interesting to try to make something cleaner in a powder, but it probably would end up costing like $100 / pound or something.

Rush ... usually too much of a windbag & blowhard for me,  but he nailed this one.   Read his transcript on it from his site ...  boils down to  "the whole point of the ex order is to take guns from people and he admits it won't stop crime,  but you are paranoid that he is trying to take guns from the law abiding folks".      I was amused at his observation.. democrats "guns too easy to use, makes violence easy" obama "you need extensive training to use it  (to the rape victim)"   here..http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/01/08/cnn_town_hall_didn_t_go_well_for_obama

  fire, chemically speaking, is actually a reaction that produces only water and carbon dioxide as "residue".   Other "residue" isn't from the fire, its left over from the fuel.   Not that this helps any in practice, but the fault is the fuel, not the fire.

if you could seal it up with something like hydrogen instead of powder....    seriously though,  a lot of gun gunk is caused by 2 things... first is partially burnt powder, which can be solved by a better crimp, a faster burning powder,  and other ways most of which are out of your control when buying it.   And the second one is too much graphite/lube/otherstuff in the powder/bullet or on the bullet case or whatever.    no idea what store brands burn cleaner.  PMC last time I used it seemed pretty good for a cheaper brand.   An issue there is that brands change powder from time to time. 

It is rare but dogs CAN be allergic to people.   But it is even weirder if he is not allergic to all people, only the one baby??  That seems off.   For example, take a person allergic to cats ... its all of them, or nearly, not just one specific cat.      If he isn't allergic to anyone else, its more likely a product on the kid or stress.

I be wondering if its a browser cache issue, and they are blocked but it didn't know to refresh the page with the posts? Try running ccleaner?

  Of course you are missing things.   This is just the tip of the iceberg.   I will only add one in the interest of brevity, a personal favorite:   we borrow billions from china each year and give away billions to countries we do not really like all that much as "aid".    Not one politician ever has said "we love you guys, but why don't you go borrow the money from china yourself??"
