lot of competition pistol shooters use dots at up to 50 yards and can make amazing groups.   They are considered identical to iron if not magnified.  4x will tell you a LOT more though, scope is just easier to use for precision.

that top one is very well done.

For sure go down with the charge, rather than up.  While a little stout they are not likely dangerously so, just extra wear on your gun and consume more powder per.   Again, more than fine accuracy --- I doubt you can improve it without a better optic or a way to mount the gun immobile.

they make a nifty looking knife as the base of the spike can be a handle but the metal is too soft for a great piece and they will rust like pure iron.  A neat novelty but not your best choice ?    I am not a blacksmith so I can't say if a home-smith has what it takes to harden the metal to a usable state or not.  Maybe?

Opinion on what lol?    Considering how you shot them, they seem plenty accurate, but its hard to say under those conditions.   If they all went bang, were not overly powerful, and you can put a bunch of them in the same hole (and you did) then they seem to be fine.   Wouldnt be a bad idea to do the same shoot with PMC or something to compare, but IMHO you can make a few thousand of those and blast away.

I have had several brands of LRN commercial cast bullets in 9mm specifically jam up in the rifling when loaded to the correct depth, and this continued past the min depth and into the danger zone.   My solution was to buy shorter 380 bullets instead of true 9mm bullets and that cured my issue 100% and produces an excellent target round.    I was unable to find any solution to the issue for the 9mm bullets that I had bought.   The only solutions are to try other bullet shapes until you find one that works or to run the bullets thru some sort of squeezer/shaver to knock off the excessive diameter that is causing the issue.     Some guns will shoot these bullets fine --- this is a gun specific issue, really a chamber/barrel specific issue.  A smith may be able to modify your barrel to take the rounds (basically extend the chamber about 1 mm).  ????   My less "exacting" ruger p89 will shoot them, as will my 92, but my cz and witness will not.

  You may not want to go there lol.   The world would probably be better off due to the decreased population.  90% of our problems stem from overpopulation and specifically the massive, multimillion person ghettos like NYC, LA, etc. 

Oh, that is code for "all guns".   I thought everyone knew that.

poke salad has toxic levels of vit A, in case of radiation maybe eat one? 

The supreme court is not responsible for any of the stuff you listed.  It has no influence on who we bomb, how we handle NK, or the rest of it.  Their job is to evaluate how much of the constitution we can rape today, and what should be left for tomorrow.   So I say no, its not the same.  If congress is playing around with stupid crap like gun control or quibbling over pork,  that is like nero.   So, we are in the nero situation, its just not the fault of the court?  

  Welcome!   SAO is like any other, a choice/tradeoff to consider.  I prefer them, but my hands are in bad shape and pulling a 15 pound 2 inch long trigger to shoot isnt in the cards for me anymore.   pros: same trigger pull every shot short trigger usually lighter trigger pull   cons: requires a safety cocked and locked design creates irrational fears for some users can fire too easily if finger is on trigger in a "situation"  (say you trip for example).   If you like the size and feel of the sig 938 but the action design bothers you, consider the M&P shield as an alternative.  It also has an excellent trigger in a small package.  Most of the other micros have difficult triggers.   my 938 is always here to try if you are in the area.

A police officer, of course. 

  Who, besides biden who recommends blasting without looking at the victim, is using a double?  Mine holds 10+1.  Most hold at least 6.   I do not care for the AR for my home but given a choice between an AR and a 2 shot or a blunderbuss, the AR wins THAT debate handily. 

It seems to be factory new, brass cased.  I have shot 223 HSM and I think also a box of pistol (probably 9mm?).   It went bang, it was cheap, I can't recall any problems nor anything special about it.   Sportsman's warehouse has it from time to time.

I think you could do it very easily with an old top-break designed revolver.  File off the lip that holds the cylinder in place and when you open it *should* throw out the cylinder (instead of operating the ejection device), replace, shut, and shoot?   And I have seriously (and still am) considered doing this to a top break 38 special (replica, of course, the old ones only come in 38 S&W).

according to that document, all hunting and self defense ammo is also illegal.    (B) any bullet which is designed to change into a particular shape upon entering the body

I do not believe that the round exists that will stop cold in drywall but stop an attacker.  I have shot at drywall with a variety of things, its been a while, but I am *firmly* convinced that anything that will stop an attacker will go thru it and continue with lethal force. Maybe a 380 or smaller pistol will slow down enough in drywall to not kill, or a .25, but I would not bet anyone's life on it!   That said, if you do not live in an apartment complex, your bullets should be passing through exterior walls of a home --- once to exit your home, once to enter your neighbors.   I do not belive any reasonable defense weapon will penetrate that, with the exception of a shotgun using slugs and magnum loads, which I do not recommend. A big rifle might do it too, a mosin with steel core, or a 308 AR 10 or something.  If its a problem, don't use the big stuff in your home.   The noise and bulk make an AR in 223 a questionable choice for defense indoors for most homes.   The flash too, for standard guns, but you can hide that or reduce it with specialty ammo.  IMHO its not a practical choice -- its main advantage, high capacity, can be achieved with a number of more suitable guns, including a glock.

You are starting with a large, fat weapon.   Many, many people carry a large fat weapon, so that is not a big problem, but you do need to manage your expectations.  Its probably never going to be "not there" concealed (meaning, you will probably always be able to feel it a little as you move).  Its going to take spending a little energy on your clothing choices --- a little baggier, shirts a little longer and maybe untucked, or the like to hide any bulges.  There are tons of ideas already,  but no matter what you do it will always be a big, fat gun that is going to take a little extra effort to conceal and a be a tiny bit more uncomfortable.  On the bright side, you have a lot of rounds in a quality, reliable, shootable pistol, and that is worth a little aggravation to many folks.   I guess what I am saying is you can spent $500 buying 10 more holsters, and one of em might be more comfortable, but its always going to weigh what it weighs and have the height/width/length that it has, and those things will always be "there" no matter what you do, its part of the trade off for having this particular size of weapon.  

  Excellent way to explain the situation.   If he could prove he were not an idiot, I would be happy to send anonymous photos from a disposable, one time use email account.  However, the burden of proof is going to be stout, given the fairly idiotic request and his living in a police state that is known for twisting things into propaganda.

We need to sticky the differences between our bordering states and keep it current.   The web has the info but it also has 10 year old stuff that is wrong and incomplete info and so on if you do not read each law from the govt sites which is tedious due to the wording.  I know law school keeps them busy but they really need a course in english.

  IMHO you can cover the bases for under $2k.  One abused milsurp rifle, $200.  One used shotgun, $200.  One used pistol, $400 tops.  One semi auto rifle, $1000 tops hopefully half that.  One .22 pistol or rifle, $200.  Not the best stuff, but it will cover every need.

  if only it were that easy.   Sensors are very good, but thankfully very expensive.  Unless we go north korea on our population and spend 98% of our "budget" on military grade goodies, it is intractable to scan all of the USA before having to start over due to the decades long process.  A single home, yes that can be done easily. 

I have the same username on chess.com if anyone really wanted to play.  Decent site, free play but they really, really, really want you to pay for extras.  Or if you have some other way to play, even PM moves for all I care.

  If it exists, which I think it does, you are asking about  hard object scanner which is a combination computer, metal detector, and some other penetrating sensor like ultrasound or something.   The computer has AI and image recognition software; between it and the user you can determine if a gun is in a suitcase or something most of the time.     I do not know the current state of sensors or what people have bothered to build, but I can tell you that I do work with some sensors and you can take this to the bank: if someone is willing to spend the money to build it, a system like this is 100% possible.            All sensors can be fooled.  But a fake wall won't do it.  You either need to go deep (10 feet of concrete for example) or you need to jam the sensor somehow (depends on the type) so all it gets is static.  Or you shoot the guy with the sensor, if it has come to that.

heh.  I think I have been banned from saying what I think about atlanta, but yea, that seems about like what I remember.
