And just to confuse you even further, some .38 Specials were actually marked ".38 S&W Special".

Let's see, your user name is "NYC rules U", you have an anarchist symbol as your avatar, and your signature block says "The Revolution is coming". And you are asking people to show their ARs and AKs to you on a machine gun thread. Sorry, I don't think so.

It's been out of print for some time. The last I herd from Dan Shea was that it would be possibly some time this year that a new edition would be out.

I have a Victor, my wife has a DuraMatic. They are far and away the best bargains available in a .22 pistol! They are both capable of much better shooting than I've ever been able to do. Aside from cleaning, all I've ever had to do is change the recoil springs about every 10K rounds.

Our Founding Fathers were not believers in Democracy. To them, it was a dirty word. There was a reason why they restricted the vote to only free male property owners over 21 years old. They believed that those who were settled and had something to lose would be the ones most interested in adhering to the principle of liberty and upholding the Constitution. Personally, I can't see any reason not to restrict the vote to only those over 21, and requiring a one-time $500 performance bond in order to vote. The bond would be lost in the event you voted illegally. That would stop a LOT of the fraudulent voting!

Considering that probably ten times as many gun owners know about this 'boycott' than anti-gun liberals do, I fully expect Starbucks revenues to spike on 2/14. These turkeys are probably looking at the website visit numbers and rubbing their hands thinking about all the huge numbers of people that will be boycotting Starbucks. I doubt that they realize that 75% of the visits are from pro-gun folks. There are a lot more of us than than there are of them!

Sarco has been around a LONG time. They have stuff even they don't remember what it is. Be careful, though. They tend to be a little bit optimistic in their descriptions of condition. 'Excellent' may mean it doesn't have any major dents or scrapes. 'New' means that nobody has used it. But it may have been in their warehouse for sixty years in a big box with a couple of hundred other items. Still, when you order something, they WILL send it to you, and their customer service has gotten much better.

We have a Neos, and my son loves it. We've had it for about five years, and it has easily seen several thousand rounds. My wife likes her old High Standard DuraMatic better, but enjoys shooting the Neos as well. The Neos grip is smaller than a Ruger, so children and women seem to like it better. Ours has been very reliable, and has no trouble with cheap ammo. It is very easy to take down and clean. Magazines are well-made , inexpensive, stainless steel, and reliable.

I had a .22-250 that started opening up the groups after only about 2000 rds. I also have a CZ-75B with an actual 24,000 rounds through it that is no where near worn out. And like was posted earlier, I challenge anyone to show me a .22lr barrel that is worn out just by shooting it. All of the 'worn-out' .22 barrel I have seen were either just leaded up, or were worn out through running a cleaning rod through it. Heat and pressure are what usually kill a barrel. Hotter, more intense cartridges usually wear out a barrel much faster than slower, cooler cartridges. Other factors are the type of rifling and the quality of the bore material. More surface area from deep rifling can cause wear more quickly. And it's pretty well known that a chrome-lined bore usually lasts twice as long as a good-quality steel one. Chrome has less friction than steel, and is also much harder, leading to less wear.

Nope, I certainly don't want to be shot with either one! I do know that I have hunted deer with a 6" barrel .357 using 158gr JHP. It did the job very nicely out to 100 yards. I don't know that I would attempt this with a .45acp. People have their preferences. If someone wants to be able to reliably shoot .357 mags with an automatic, now they have a decent choice. That's the great thing about a free market. Ideas come to market, and if people like it, they buy it. If they don't like it, you don't have a bureaucrat telling you that it's the ONLY choice! You can even get a .500 S&W designed for CCW! It's certainly not MY choice. But if that's what you want, go for it! Product: Model S&W500

Yep, this has been happening for years. Interestingly enough, most of the stories seem to have a 'Brady Bunch' slant on them. It's kind of like they are trying to drum up some outrage that anyone would have the audacity to actually think it might be legal to carry a handgun! Most of the comments are anti-NYC, though! I know that I sure won't be spending any of my money there!

I got to play with the Coonan .357 a bit last Fall. I have a serious case of 'want'. To me a Desert Eagle feels like a brick. The Coonan feels right. It's on my list for maybe next Fall unless I see a real bargain on one. Ballistically: .357 Winchester 158gr JHP - 1235fps, 535 ft/lbs .357 Winchester 125gr JHP - 1450fps, 583 ft/lbs .45acp Winchester 230gr JHP - 880fps, 396 ft/lbs In what way are they similar?

Typical liberal thought process. Instead of treating those who need help, let's just punish everyone by banning a potentially-useful drug. Same as the logic that says "instead of locking up and punishing violent criminals, let's just ban guns for everyone else."

This is why it is more important than ever to continue to get rid of the non-conservative people in Congress. Quite frankly, the current crop of Presidential candidates are ALL anti-gun except Ron Paul. Whether you support him or not, he is still a very slim prospect to be President. IF BHO wins, we will need a very strong pro-freedom Congress that will not let BHO get away with anything like our current Congress will. If a RINO wins, we will need that pro-freedom Congress for the same reasons.

Very strange! I'll vote for a sloppy chamber. It might be that the finish reamer didn't get all the way to the end of the chamber. I notice that some of the cases appear to have marks on the case mouth that look like they might have had trouble getting fully chambered.

A R-D said above, just contact NFA Branch. There is a very slight danger that they will not have THEIR original. In that case, you now have no proof that it is legal. Many times when this happens, if you can show them some other proof that it is a legal suppressor (sales receipt, dealers records, etc), then they will re-create the original Form4. Most of the time when the NFA Registry is screwed up, it is with NFA items that were added to the Registry prior to the 1990's. Before then, ATF didn't have electronic records, so if the paper was lost, destroyed, or mis-placed, you could be in trouble. There has been evidence that a disgruntled employee at one time destroyed some records. FYI, I keep the originals in the safe, a copy in the container with the NFA item, another copy in the file cabinet, and another copy with copies of other critical papers in my bother's safe. I also keep another copy in my briefcase of every NFA Item I have with me when I'm travelling (Knob Creek, shoots, etc). I'll gladly kill a tree to keep my valuables safe.

Lighter bullets typically produce less muzzle rise (flip). Try some 115gr bullets with 4gr of W231. That should be enough powder to work reliably. If it isn't, add to the load gradually until you get reliable performance in your pistol. Lighter springs will also allow reliable use of less powder with light bullets.

"Alcohol was present" is a meaningless phrase purely intended to make you prejudiced against the two fellows. There is little doubt that the death was caused by some act of stupidity or carelessness. But whether the men had actually been drinking is not something that you will know from that news story.

I'll go for it. PM sent.

It might be explained by the difference in the bearing surface of the two bullets. A bullet with more surface in contact with the barrel develops higher pressures than one with less metal in contact with the barrel. It may also have to do with the test firearm. Minor differences in rifling can lead to higher pressures. Or, it could just be the amount of liability each company is willing to risk if your pistol has an issue. That is why you should always start at least 20% below max and work up slowly.

In normal cleaning, you do not take out the slide stop. It sounds like someone reassembled it incorrectly, and the slide stop is not being held in place by the trigger spring like it should be. Ammo may still be a problem. The Remington UMC bulk pack ammo is notoriously weak and will not cycle these pistols reliably. The standard load for these is the NATO-spec 124gr cartridge. Try some Aguila or S&B 124gr and see if it still fails to cycle reliably. The sights are also calibrated for this load. A weak 115gr cartridge would shoot low.

TN is a 'must-sign' state. The Sheriff MUST sign your Form 4 unless he knows of a real reason why he should not. Not liking suppressors or machine guns in civilian hands is not a valid reason.

Another factor people ignore is that different cartridge loads often have different point of impact. My CZ75 has the sights adjusted to shoot point of aim at 50ft with the Remington 124gr HP loads I use for self-defense. With the S&B 124gr FMJ it shoots about 3" low and left. Aguila 124gr FMJ shoots about the same distance high and left. My 124gr FMJ reloads with 2400 powder shoot 4" to the right. I do not adjust my sights when shooting practice ammo. I merely try to keep my point of aim the same and keep my groups small. That is why it is important to use the same ammo to sight-in with that you will use for self-defense.
