Sorry to hear this. I know we will miss him here. Prayers for the family and friends.

No transfer required. Long guns may be shipped directly intrastate.

Would suggest wearing bicycle gloves initially. Try several styles to see what you like best.

Started yrs ago 1.0 M&P 9mm shield. 8 rd mag with 1 in chamber, thumb safety. Ameriglo front sight. Desantis Pegasus IWB holster worn appendix majority time. Occasionally, 1.0 S&W compact 9mm with slide cut/ Sig Romeo X in Whole Guns IWB appendix

Sounds just like my grandson in West TN. He lives in a small town which to me is preferred to the big city life of Knoxville. He has it made, still does well in school. He understands the dangers of lipstick and gasoline....so far.

Then I agree completely....for thee and me.

I have my father's 722 in .308 and it is a tack driver. High quality. Shoot it, like it, buy it.

deerslayer makes some good points, but I disagree on caliber selection as a blanket statement. Profieicency is of utmost importance. Lack of strength or skill may make a smaller caliber, even a .22 the most logical choice. If a new shooter, practice time and comfort with a smaller caliber with good shot placement is much more effective than a miss with a larger caliber. Once one is more experienced, a larger caliber may be in order. If one is intimidated by recoil, etc than they are much less likely to have any gun available for immediate use. Bad guys are likely to flee upon the first sight of a firearm regardless of caliber without a shot fired. If not accuracy is king. I have yet to have anyone volunteer to hand-hold targets for me downrange while I shoot .22's.

As BigK alluded, laser and irons is not an either / or choice and can be dictated by the immediate circumstances.

Maybe, but it also simplifies the shot. Simply paint the target with a a visible dot and pull the trigger; stance, body position, sight alignment, “finding the dot in a window” don’t matter.

Agree with the conditions of low light and close range can be very useful. For those that shoot a lot, especially from the draw, almost automatic hits under those same conditions without sights, dots, or lasers.

several yrs ago I spoke to Mr. Karl Rehn and he spoke in favor of lasers, especially for new shooters at close distances. This has been addressed previously to some degree here on TGO.

I believe the ejection port would have to be larger in 3”. Additionally, the 48 is ideal for a light weight bird gun, not so much of a fan for shooting heavy loads in it.

Well if I had known my Sig 320 came with an $11 million rebate I wouldn’t had sold it.

Well that's my thought anyway, especially in 9mm. Increases noise especially under a roof, building, car, etc. Increases muzzle flash. If added on, increases barrel length. Increased liklihood of malfunction. Increases debris and need for cleaning. Especially a concern if shooting from retention which may be likely in SD situations. This can result in hot gasses in face, possibly metal debris from lead or jacketed bullets. A likely decrease in velocity and even moreso in short barreled firearms. Well that's just for starters and given the rather minimal recoil produced by 9mm.....unneccessary.

I believe that is only true if the case is adjudicated, meaning it went to trial. If simply not charged or tried civil case can still be brought. My HO ins gave me an answer of “it depends” and given the endless circumstances, that seems right. That’s why I’m a CCA member. Better than depending on HO. If they simply pay for any cleanup and property/ medical issues I would be satisfied. Hope never to find out.

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.

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.

Try graf and sons

I’ll take it. I’m in Knoxville

Not certain that will work in all circumstances. Pistol loads may only use 3 - 4 grains of powder. Brass will vary more than that.

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.

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.

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.

That's because most if not all sheriffs are elected. Police chiefs are appointed, political positions.
