Im Neero

Looks like I'm the odd man out. I reload, and the biggest reason is because it saves me money. .45acp is up to 29 cents a round in the winchester white box. I reload and get it down to a little over 8.5 cents a round. Not to mention the fact that I reload with semi-wadcutters which leave that clean little hole that is so satisfying. If you reload for pistol and shoot a lot I recommend going progressive from the getgo. I'm still on a single stage and its sloowww, but the whole money thing is keeping me from even thinking progressive at this point.

Tungsten, you just made the new background for my computer.

I have a 1911 that I use as my primary carry weapon. When I try to carry my XD9 I just can't get over the feeling that I'm skipping a step and I don't feel right when I holster it without a safety. My minds feels fine toward both methods of carry, but my hands have made up their mind. Manual safety for me.

It's a tragedy when these things happen, but hopefully we can all use it as a reminder. Safety isn't a sometimes thing. Never get complacent. Never assume that there's no one over that way. Know your target and what's behind it. God be with the family.

Is there a list of weapons that will be available for firing anywhere yet?

The xbox was completely dead as a result of a burst water pipe. It seemed like a good way to send it off.

I've shot a lot of weird things in my day. I have a friend with some land and if we come across anything for free our first thought is "Hey, lets shoot at it!" Some of the more notable targets have been a few old pianos and a jeep pickup truck. The original Xbox is virtually bullet proof and stopped every pistol round we fired at it.

I'll do whatever I can to help. Keep us posted.

Is it weird that this thread makes me want a Mosin Nagant?

Thanks for all the replies! I can tell that I'm going to like this place already. Brian, where do you shoot?

I just found this forum by chance, and it seems pretty cool. I'm mostly a pistol shooter, but love all kinds of guns and shooting sports. Anyways, this seemed like the place to make a first post so this is it. JM
