On a similar note; we had a recent " Day of Rage " demonstration ( a small one ) here in Knoxville. During the course of the demonstration; a long time ( and beloved ) Arab member of the community ( there is a pretty old n established one here, along with a pretty good Jewish one as well ) who runs a long time mom n pop restaurant here got carried away; opened his pie hole too loudly, and evidently did a bit of resistin when the KPD called em down and told him ya go home. He wuz charged with " resisting arrest " ( I think ) and booked. He was ( past tense ) a respected and even beloved long time restraunteer here. His zeal actions may have destroyed a business it took 40 years to build up. These encounters are, indeed, a tragedy... leroy...

RE:.." Freedom of expression "... This country is built upon freedom of expression and freedom of association. The hippie generation of the sixties took this " freedom " to the extreme. They and their children are now concentrated on the left; and " freedom of expression" has morphed into " hate speech "... If they don't like it; you can't speak it... They have become the very image of the thing they hated in their youth. Ain't that interesting..? leroy...

WHATTA truth Brother... leroy...

I'm sorry to hear this... The country is being Balkanized and the state of Tennessee is being over run with idiots in lotsa places... They have no notion of manners nor the ability to keep their ignorant mouths shut. SIGH. leroy .

Poon... Accuracy of both is excellent... leroy.

I would recommend sticking with the glock if ya fixed the trigger and like it. I own both, and the Apex trigger in the 43x is just about like my cr 920. I like em both, but they ain't gonna make an MR 920 trigger. I think the smaller frames make the trigger geometry a bit shorter, making the trigger pull harder...That said, I do like the size and magazines on the cr better... Hope this helps. leroy...

RED and Krunchnik... Thanks a bunch... Ima thinking I'll just keep a spanner wrench n rawhide mallet in the kit bag when I take em out. I wuz worried about my 300BO pistol... Thanks again. leroy....

I understand... I had one back off in the long ago.... I guess I'm just a bit apprehensive. It's the " Old Goat Worryin Syndrome"... Ima guessing that if I wuz 30 years younger n a bit stronger, I couldn't worry either. Thanks a bunch. leroy.,,,

Brothers n sisters... My hands ain't as strong as they used ta be, and my aim with a center punch n hammer ain't real good now. That said; Has anybody used loktite on the castle nut to buffer tube connection to lock down the tube without staking it...? Thanks in advance... leroy ...

I would love to, but I'm just too gimped... I'm a great GOA cheerleader. They are good folks... leroy...

dp... Have been thru this reworking 36 navies for the son. Ya may want to order some new nipples and fit em to make the #11s work. I'ma thinkin that night be a viable, less aggravating solution. We also used ta crimp the caps a tad if we could; or put a dab of Bore Butter on the edge of the nipples to help hold the caps on. The son used the pistolas to shoot black powder CAS... Hope this helps... leroy .

Ain't seen one of these in 40 years... What a great little pistola... GLWS .!!! leroy...

One thing ya might want ta do is to look at the shotgun forums to pinpoint the most reliable makers. Lotsa these shotgun guys put a bunch of rounds thru these guns and have a pretty good handle on the reliable brands. Havin said all that; I'm partial to the " American " makers. It's mostly a nostalgia n history thing for me. Ya can buy pump guns for a reasonable price for the most part, but the semi autos are a bit more pricey, and that's the lure of the Turkish guns. I'ma thinkin ya can find aftermarket handguards for Mossberg n Remington 870s pretty easily... Ya might want ta " home build " ya a trench. I find myself likin the old riots the most. There are several in our safe; all old timers.. Hope this helps ... leroy...

To chime in a bit late; I think the big deal with mags, no matter the flavor, is to make sure they work if they are used in your self defence pistola. Mags are mechanical devices, that means they can be built in a Monday or Friday. Check their function in your pistola with the ammo you intend to use. leroy ...

Omega... RE. Encrypted bank accounts... Very interesting stuff. At this point, I'm able to entertain most anything from criminal incompetence to collusion; to the " Manchurian Candidate " to outside " Hit Man " bought by anybody... Antifa, the DNC, or the Star Trek Klingons... All this smells to high heavens. Thanks for posting this. leroy...

Check your messages... Thanks a bunch leroy.

If the case is completely sized and flared just enough to get the bullet started, and you use a good crimp die; ya should be ok. The bullet friction to the inside of the case is just as important as the crimp. I always full length size new cases before loading them... Another good check is to try to push the bullet into a dummy case after seating.... If it slides in, it will slide out. Make sure the crimp is heavy. By the way, H110 has got to have a heavy crimp and bullet pull to burn well. I've had a hangfire or two with 296 and 110 on heavy loaded 45 Colt Ruger loads in the old days. I'ma fan of 2400 n a good crimp for the 357... Good luck leroy.

Wish ya were closer... GLWS... leroy ...

We used to use reloadable brass shotgun hulls for CAS black powder loads. I'ma thinkin ya may be able to find some 410 reloadable brass. Try looking at Buffalo Arms first... The reloading process is easy with the brass hulls. leroy...

Got a CZ75 Compact... Same problem. Fixed with a good belt ( Kore ), good OWB holster, and a loose fitting shirt ... leroy...

Amen... I've got his brother, a round butt 3 inch heavy barrel model 13. It is undoubtedly the best " K " frame for carry n shooting I've ever handled. He is now in honored retirement... leroy...

I'm reading some very thoughtless, evil, and incendiary posts here. The usual suspects have started the baiting. I would recommend that the moderators turn this thread off and let things cool down. This stopped being about news about page 3 as near as I can tell; and has been the usual " resident know it alls " against the exasperated and agitated from about page four on. You resident know it alls are doing nothing other than inflaming tensions and doing what they always do --- that is to put on a full show of know it all commenting and baiting, bantering words, and belittling those who don't see things their way. I for one, do not understand why this thread has not been shut down and these usual suspects warned. The truth is that a very high profile public figure has survived an assignation attempt and bystanders are dead and wounded. This also appears to be very stinky to most folks, and I'm one of em... That is the take away and my thought for the evening. leroy...

For what it's worth, I've tried the comp idea on my MR920, a Glock 43x, and my trusty Smith MP EZ 9 With defensive loads from 124 to147 grains. I can barely tell any difference. These are excellent comps and my hands are 78 plus years old. I would simply buy a " non comped " gun. They are cheaper n easier to conceal. I'm like several others have opined. There simply ain't enough gas generated nor velocity to have a very meaningful recoil or muzzle rise reduction. leroy...
