We used to have Tapatalk. Getting rid of it was one of the better things I've ever done.

Update again: my stamp is approved for my m16!!!!!!!!! I'm so freaking happy!!! The stamp hasn't arrived at my dealer yet, but ATF said it is approved!

Yes, I have several, a couple M9s and a couple L9s. They are interesting for sure. What I like is that they use the same Glock grip angle but they also angled the trigger guard to be perpendicular to the grip angle. This means your trigger finger can ride more naturally. I always hated the Glocks because my trigger finger would always drag the frame and the bottom of the trigger guard due to my grip. The Steyr design completely fixes that. Shot-to-shot recovery time equals that of the Glock, in my experience. I'm not really fond of the pyramid-style sights but it's something you get used to, if you shoot it exclusively for about a month. The triggers tend to be pretty good, but the reset is difficult to feel, if that's something you care about (personally it doesn't make a lot of difference to me). Accuracy is good, better than most comparable similar service pistols that I own. Reliability is 100% with hot ammo; with lighter loads (example: minor power factor 9mm), I get the occasional stovepipe. I think it would break in and become a little more forgiving once the springs take more of a set. What I don't like: the slide is awfully wide, makes IWB carry a challenge. I also don't like the magwell, which is not beveled or funneled in any way, making reloads more cumbersome than necessary. They have the M9A2 out now, but I've held off buying one because they are so ugly

I keep hoping that Ruger will come out with a 3" LCRx in .357. I've heard rumors they are, but have yet to see one.

Some time back I come on line whining about how stick powder was a pain in the backside to get in 223 cases. Somebody, and I don't remember who, said to use my Dillon case tumbler and vibrate the cases to get the powder down. This is the first time I've loaded 223 since then and it works great.

S&W never made ammo. Yes, they sold branded ammo, but they did not make it.

As I recall S&W made Nyclad ammo. The configuration was HPSWC & was touted to reliably expand in short Bbl revolvers. I think I still have a few rounds laying around somewhere.

We are absolutely in for dark times. Look around at the number of people on this very forum that have said they won’t vote for Trump. No other Republican will be running, and no member of any other party will have a chance. I don’t like Trump as a person, but I think he has done a great job and is pro gun. Am I going to turn my back on him over a bump stock decision that he only had to make because some idiots at the BATF were allowed to be involved in decision making? Of course not.

I believe we are in for dark times ahead.

The economy was the #1 issue for Americans in the last election, and it was the #1 issue for Trump when he got in office. The economy is headed in the right direction, and if it stays that way until the election it won’t be the main issue. The main issue for the Democrats will be guns, opening the border will be #2. Should a Democrat be elected, especially one of the far-left idiots that is running now; we are toast. They will at the very least ban the sales of Semi-automatic firearms. Yeah, think about that. I would bet nothing is Grandfathered. “Buy back”? They try to make it sound like they would pay you for your gun. I bet they would; they would give you a $25 gift card for your $1200 AR. So…the dems would like to take away your right to defend yourself, and then allow violent criminals to cross the border. They are so ignorant that they think they will be safe in their mansions and gated communities. When they were showing the demonstrators the other night in Minneapolis, I saw someone carrying a sign that said “EAT THE RICH”. How stupid is that??As someone that has dealt with many violent offenders, I don’t think the Dems are aware of what is in store for them if they get their way. The SCOTUS will be the only protection we will have on gun control. But how long it would take them to act or what their decisions would be is anybody’s guess.

Assuming it is rated for +P, I use Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel 135g in my 642. https://www.speer-ammo.com/products/ammunition/gold-dot/gold-dot-short-barrel-personal-protection/23921gd

I personally loved Federal 125 gr Nyclad HPs, and still carry them in my S&W 442 along with 2 additional speed strips full. I thought this was the best standard pressure defense round going for snubbies. Sadly, Federal dropped them. I snap them up, whenever I can find the odd box, here or there. Now, I’d probably go with the HST round mentioned above or the Speer Gold Dot.

FTFY.

How about a coffee machine in the break room?
