And once again, it was more know-it-all, I'm absolutely right no matter what, gun shop clerk-type unsolicited advice and opinions that got us here.

I'd rather have the 9mm; $13/100 rounds vs. $20/100.

I am in the market for a 9mm AR, and looked at a Bushmaster Carbon 15 today (the only 9mm AR Bushmaster makes). Anybody have any experience with one of these? Anybody heard/read good or bad things?

:D blasphemy

Hmmm...I wonder what the rest of the story is. Did the cops simply knock on the door to ask a couple questions, or were they there to serve a warrant? They have three suspects in custody as a result, and they had five guys, so I suspect they weren't there to make a simple inquiry. In such a case, wouldn't they have handguns drawn and long guns nearby?

And only then does it even begin to be a very realistic test, IMO.

I agree. I just shoot and carry what works for me, and ALWAYS keep my mouth shut

Thank goodness I don't have one of those...

Good, it gets old.

For the record, I did not mention Glocks.

Not sure if I should put this here, but the Ammo Can seems to be more about reloading and finding good deals. I don't usually put a lot of stock in shooting gelatin blocks, milk jugs full of water, etc., but this test is more interesting than some. What I really find interesting is that the guy says the next phase is shooting through denim before hitting the milk jugs. http://frag.110mb.com:80/

A couple companies are beginning to produce 10 round 9mm mags for single stack 1911s--Tripp Research and Metalform (most 9mm 1911 mags are 9 rounders, I think). I have have two friends who recently purchased each. One more round is not a big deal, unless you are using a 9mm 1911 in IDPA's ESP division. Then, you are evenly matched with the Glocks, STIs, XDs, etc.

The best I've found for WWB 115 FMJ (my personal favorite) is Bass Pro Shops--every three or four months, they put it on sale, usually for $13/$13.50 per 100 rounds.

9mm/ wonder if the price went up between your purchase and mine. I have a Wal-Mart gift card...I thnk I will go back and see if their prices have changed. If not, poof goes the gift card.

That video is hilarious.

Hopefully, the guy will be ok. He was plainclothes, so who knows for sure what he was carrying, but Memphis issues DAO SIGs. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2008/jan/05/in-brief/

This is from a post on the Tri State Shooter website: Happy New Year! This year's Regional will be held March 29th at Memphis Sport Shooting Association near Memphis, TN. 13 stages, 13 bays, 200 rds, great facility with camping available and hotels nearby. Prize table includes 2 Glocks and lots more. Col. Jim Shearin of Nationals fame will run the chrono and scale. T-shirt included with entry. Lunch available, prizes and awards at the covered Sporting Clays Pavilion. We had a great turnout last year. If you were there you know the facility is excellent! See the link on the IDPA web site or contact me directly, twoalpha@comcast.net. Hope you can make it!! Myrin

It gets even worse if you start to shoot competitively.

Todd Jarrett is a bad SOB, but I don't like some of what he teaches. A Weaver stance has always worked better for me, possibly because I am right eye dominant, but shoot left-handed. On the other hand, I can't shoot like him, so what the hell do I know? BTW, here is an even faster el presidente drill: [ame] [/ame]

Hope you have thick skin...

I shot two XDs and was not impressed. Nothing against them, I just didn't understand all the hype after I shot one.

I shot a friend's STI 9mm 1911 last weekend and I though it was SUUWWEEEEETTTTT! until the extractor broke.

+1 This is my main reason for not telling, unless I'm asked or instructed to get out or whatever. The less gunplay the better, in my book. Besides, I carry one of those highly dangerous Glocks--it would probably go off just by handing it to the cop. On the other hand, if some cops really will cut you some slack, like Marswolf suggested, I'd reconsider.
