    22 LR

    I’m a big fan of Hornady clean and lube. It is a dry lube with no left behind oil to gum things up. Great for cold weather, especially semi auto shotguns. I think it may help your problem.
  2. big fan of your process.....I too start new shooters with .22. Nothing wrong with crawl, walk, run process. Proficency and safety is the key. Nothing wrong with buy another gun as one progresses at their own pace and interest in firearms. Surprising how many instructors as well as students don't understand how tough dbl action revolvers can be to shoot.
  3. Not certain that will work in all circumstances. Pistol loads may only use 3 - 4 grains of powder. Brass will vary more than that.
  4. Thought I messed up and double charged a 9mm round. Talking on the phone instead of paying attention. I was having a little temporary issue with my LNL reloader but had a system to measure each round…. just did not recall specifically doing so on one case. So I had about 50 rounds to check. Bought a RCBS collet bullet puller. Great product pulling coated flat nose bullets. No damage to bullets, full recovery of all components. As it turned out…no double charge, but better safe than sorry. I’ve always said one can’t save money reloading if you blow your gun up and/or injure yourself and accumulate medical bills along the way.
  5. Had one. Gave mine to my son, but this was a very reliable, good shooting 1911. Shot it a lot, took a couple of classes with nearly 600 rds fired in each and never a malfunction with standard 230 gr ball factory ammo.
  6. They are a lot of fun especially with friends/family. Even more so if one owns and runs a well-trained retriever. Don't over gun the thing. Medium powered #6 or #5 shot should do fine.
  7. That's because most if not all sheriffs are elected. Police chiefs are appointed, political positions.
  8. I've used quite a bit of BE-86, worked just fine. It has a flash suppressor which I think makes it a little more smokey and dirty. Became hard to find and went to Tru Blue and then it is made in Belgium and no telling when more will arrive. Went back to WSF. Works well and reasonably priced. Stocked up, doubt that I will change unless forced.

  10. Parabellum ammo in Knoxville makes good ammo…. But has gone to commercial accounts only now.
  11. As mentioned, the citizen defender has some protection from criminal prosecution by the legal doctrine of 'transferred intent". In turn this may provide standing for liability for civil charge, depending on the state. Of course nothing protects the individual from a lifetime of regret.
  12. OC is like showing your cards when playing poker….makes in harder to win. secondly, it’s like a gay pride T-shirt, it’s offensive and I don’t care or want to know.
  13. I think Tiffany and Aqil both are top notch. However, I think Royal Range has RangeMaster grads as instructors as well. Done correctly, the specified State curriculum has to be followed but a good instructor helps. This will generally consume the 8 hrs as dictated. I think the state also has a $30 rebate program. I highly recommend the training and then proceed with additional training.
  14. Personally, I don’t buy from gun shows. Blowing yourself up or a gun is not the way to save money. Some long standing reman companies are different. A smaller one here in Knoxville, Parabellum ammo makes quality ammo but now no longer sells to individuals.
  15. Control the law-abiding while the criminals do what criminals do.......the Democrat way.

    Tactical?

    Very similar to “assault “. Magnum however in same calibers generally means increased velocity and increased terminal energy. Not necessarily interchangeable.
  17. If you are running a shotgun with one in the chamber....remember they are NOT drop safe. Best to store gun cruiser ready in case it gets knocked over.
  18. Capacity is a minimal concern with auto loaders. Only one recorded event where a person required a 2nd dose of 12 ga 00 buck and this was due to bad aim. Reduced recoil 00 buck in 2 3/4" is plenty of stopping power in the 12 ga.
  19. There has been a powder supply issue for at least 4 yrs.
  20. Very nice event with continuous panels and forum discussions as well as class-room events. I would guess over 200 vendors. Not a gun show, more along the lines of a NRA convention. Will go again is available.
