chances R

20 shots at 3 yds, 20 at 5 yds, 10 at 7 yds. Passing score 70 or better. Center zone of target (yellow zone) hits count 2 pts each. Peripheral hits ( blue ) count 1 pt. With basic, minimal skill one should pass before the target gets to the 7 yd line. Register with state online before class and obtain confirmation number. Mandatory for class and score submission.

22/45.  sig is trouble.

Magnet is painful as primary tool and you never get all the SS pins.  Remaining pins will be found at your deprime station and that will gum up the works.  You may want to experience all of this by trial and error, but I've done a lot of that for you already.

Rotary separator. One with a cover preferred. Magnet to pick up strays but a lot of work to use as primary device.

One of the Henry rifles in .22 would be nice. Useful at any age, less likely to be affected by political winds and more portability between states. Nice well-made rifles.

  It's a Taurus!  I my experience subject to go belly-up at any time.  QA has been terrible.  Service takes forever.  Would not want my life to depend on it.  Otherwise, when they work they seem to do well.  This is based on my personal experience.

M&P 45 until your 1911 issue is resolved.

My last visit a couple of months ago.....was posted.

Was a good choice. Already happy with the platform so why change? Now he can ponder on which 1911 to buy for some variety!

If it gets so bad I have to use all I have loaded...........well, you all can have it!  I don't want to be here.

If you are set on a pump hard to do much better than the Wingmaster. An older model Winchester 1200 is a smooth, dependable choice as well.

Some have trouble in progressive presses with feeding issues.  Try a few hundred before jumping in.

They evidently teach firing warning shots all the time in New York  http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/cops-fire-84-shots-at-robbery-suspect-hit-him-once-police/ar-AAdWWsv?ocid=iehp

I have the DW Specialist. No regrets. Couldn't imagine anything smoother or more accurate.

.....and maybe it was the perps lucky day, the good guy should say he was so shook up that he simply missed with the shot. That may have sobered up the attacker and the threat ceased. Best result for both parties.

Sort of stupid to bring a club to a gun fight.

M&P compact .22

Been there, done that. I prepared by donning full face shield. Yeah went pop but no damage. It is a little surprising that the wooden dowel ignited the primer. I hate surprises like that......load on

I hope most people who take the HCP course are told by their instructors that it is NOT a shooting class.  The primary goal is to inform the student of the current Laws of the State of TN.  There should also be a significant emphasis on gun safety.  I do give some very basic gun handling/shooting instruction, but nothing that I would consider adequate to a basic shooting course.  There simply is not enough time in an 8 hour course.  I do strongly encourage all shooters to seek out training; preferably at least once a year and shoot at least once a month.  Unfortunately most are not 'gun' people and never do so.  It really boils down to the responsibility of the gun owner, but as noted, most simply just don't know what they don't know.

The best and most important info you have been given on this topic

Another happy LNL user here.  I would jump on Hozzie's deal.  I thought about it even though I own one already.  I am perfectly happy with mine, and I use to own a 1050.  Customer service has been 1st rate.  I do not use a case or bullet feeder.  Really no need.  I can load more than I can shoot easily.

In my experience dawn doesn't add any benefit. Agree with minimal amount of lemishine.

Not near as much as shooting and reloading it,.....No.

I have used it for 4 yrs now.  One time purchase of the SS media.  No dust.  IMO no need to deprime  before tumbling unless you are making truly match-grade ammo and I am not sure that would make any difference.  There is no cleaner brass and it is simple to do.  Plus has to be healthier as there is no dust to breathe.  Would not change if someone gave me any other set-up.

Gander Mtn. has a nice line of flashlights.  I have several that rate 220 lumens.  Not expensive and have used them for 4 to 5 yrs. now.
