Looks pretty good; especially for a first attempt. An ajustable groover and a stitch marking wheel would help make the stiching more professional.

If they fit as good as they look, I imagine he can sell all those grips he wants to make.

Monteagle Mountain is closed due to a rock slide!!! I didn't see that one coming.

What is the difference?

Because more than a few I know would prefer to shoot someone than to draw their next check. They need very little provocation to do so.

Seriously, I'd think you'd be best off to stand there, dead still with the gun pointed at the ground, don't make any sudden movements that could be considered threatening, and follow instructions.

Classy, indeed! Did you just get one, or an entire set?

My neighbors' response to me in the driveway with a gun is "Good morning, Greg", or "What kind of gun is that one?" The entire neighborhood's response to a police in the drive would be "WTF is a police doing here?"

I suggest you spend about as much on ammo as you did the LCP, and shoot it, shoot it, and shoot it some more.This will help you to build familiarity with it and confidence in it. I really like my LCP, and I'm not a fan of plastic guns in general. I can shoot it pretty good, and it sure is easy to conceal and carry.

Congratulations. Did you shoot it in the rectum with a load of stove wood, or just have trouble with the field dressing?

WHere is Dand T Arms? I wouldn't mind fondling one. They look great.

Sexy! I love those grips.

As I see it, this would cause the opposite to be true. As mosinon stated earlier, all objects fall to the ground at the same rate. That being the case, the lighter bullet should reach the target in less time than the slower, heavier bullet. This means it has less time to fall, so the lighter bullet should strike the target higher than the heavier bullet. That's the gravity part. As for the wind resistance, usually, a heavier bullet of the same caliber has a higher ballastic coefficient than a shorter, lighter one, which would decrease the amount of wind resistance in comparison to the lighter bullet. That leads me to think that wind resistance may have something to do with it. It's a lot to think about, isn't it?

He has a hi point for a small summer gun, but wants a larger gun to carry in the winter. Now that I've said it out loud, I don't really get it either.

Nice stuff!

I'm not doubting you, but can this be proven? I can't dispute that theory.

Kind of like a cordless drill, huh?

A few flurries with a steady stream of scared idiots driving on the interstate.

That's very interesting. Thanks for posting.

That's what I heard!

I love this type of discussion! I should have went to college in pursuit of an engineering degree.

I'll buy that. And take away the effects of muzzle rise and recoil, and I'll agree with your earlier post. So I guess now the question is whether this is caused by a slower bullet taking longer to leave the barrel allowing for more muzzle rise, or it is caused by the increase in recoil, causing more muzzle rise. I'm betting on a combination, but I simply lack the education to determine which is the case. I'd be interested to know, however.

I agree with this. I disagree with this. Without ajusting your sights, a 158 grain bullet from a 38 special WILL strike a target higher than a 110 grain bullet from the same gun; same sights, same distance, within reason. I'm talking 7-15 yards here; not 1000. If muzzle rise isn't the culprit for this, I'd like to hear a valid explanation. I am no physicist, and I am not intending to challenge your education. I am simply stating the results of actually firing a handgun. I have not noticed this same effect with a rifle; or at least not to a degree that one would notice.

I don't suscribe to the theory of women's and children's calibers. A certain caliber either works or it doesn't. I hunt with the same calibers my children hunt with. Surprise, surprise! We all kill deer with them.

The heavier bullet is more difficult to shove down the barrel, therefore it allows more time for the burning powder to create pressure than a lighter bullet that leaves the barrel faster. The higher pressure results in the need for less powder. Same theory at work here. The faster bullet leaves the barrel at an earlier point, allowing less time for muzzle rise before it's out and headed toward it's destination.
