  1. Looks like some cratering on some of the loads over 4.1 grains. Usually that's a sign of high pressure.
  2. Buy a shot timer. You can tell what techniques help your speed and which do not. You can track your draw time and split times between shots.
  3. I've owned Glocks for over 25 years, 9mm and 40, all four generations. The only factory magazines that have given me any feeding problems were the ten rounders for a Glock 19 (purchased during the ban years). Those mags wouldn't feed the last round if it was a hollow-point. FMJ fed fine. Ten rounders for the Glock 17 worked with everything. I've successfully used 357 SIG mags in .40 pistols.
  4. I dryfired mine thousands of times. Smoothed up the trigger and good exercise for trigger fingers.
  5. Do you have a source for that? The S&W 1076 had technical problems that caused it to be withdrawn from service and replaced with a 9mm SIG. Eventually the 10mm pistols were modified and many returned to the FBI. But by then, I think they had lost interest in the pistols. After the .40 Glocks were adopted, the 1076s were recalled and agents had to carry the Glocks.
  6. Pandora is 50ish. She is an excellent representative plaintiff for this suit. I believe she also has a law enforcement background.
  7. Several years ago (10+), also in Knoxville, a clerk used a shotgun to shoot and kill an armed robber, after he left the store.  No charges ever made, state or federal.    The US Attorney has bigger fish go after than a felon who shoots an armed robber.
  8. It's not just the green tip 5.56 they are panicking over.  Go to SGAmmo or AIM Surplus, very little of the other bullet styles remaining.  7.62x39 also wiped out, too.  And just when prices were coming down!
  9. That guy somehow was blessed with the ability to predict the situation where he might have to draw a gun.  A nicer way of saying he doesn't know how much he doesn't know.    I once heard a handgun permit instructor say the first two rounds in his pistol were FMJ, then JHPs.  He wanted to give an attacker a chance to stop before using "serious" ammo.  As if you can shoot someone 'a little bit'.   Ah, the wisdom of firearm professionals....
  10. Looks like the bullets as the green box Express ammo.  No idea about bullet performance.  Back when some semi-autos had problems feed JHPs, Remington was the brand to use. 
  11. There were similar rumors around the time of the 1994 ban.  I was listening when a guy mentioned it in front of chemical engineer, who went, well, ballistic.  I didn't really understand all the technical reasons, but engineer explained all the problems with ammo that was designed to last a short time.  What stuck with me was that if ammo was designed to only last two years, some percentage would fail after a year and some percentage would last for several years.   Maybe we should promote the rumor that the government started with .22LR and it's all going to expire by the end of the 2015.  Maybe the hoarders would be the ones panicking..
  12. The extended slide release is standard on the Glock 34 and 35 (and maybe some other long slide models).  I really like it.  When reloading, the left thumb is positioned perfectly to release the slide.

    VZ2008

    A friend bought one and I've gone to the range with him twice.  Fired about 300 rounds.  Only problem he had was with a very heavy soft point round, like 154 grains, that was too long for the chamber.  No problems with the 123-ish grain FMJs and HPs.   It was much more accurate than the Chinese, Egyptian and Bulgarians that I've shot.  Not a bad trigger.  Handguard would get hot after a couple of magazines.  I liked the bolt hold open feature.  The safety is more convenient than an AK.   I didn't care for the folding stock, but I think a piece of plastic tubing for a cheekrest would make it much better.   Overall, if I was looking for an AK-type rifle, I would be very tempted to buy one.
  14. Since the notice applies to all lots, it may be a bullet issue.
  15. I've had a PRO with the factory mount for about three mounts. Haven't used it except at the range and one carbine match. So far, so good.
  16. A Colt HBar. I don't remember the powder, it's been several years. May have been IMR 4895.
  17. I never shot over 200 yards, but they were quite accurate. Maybe the most accurate of the 55gr soft points. Depending on your rifle, you'll probably have to go to a match bullet to find something more accurate.
  18. Old??? Some of us remember the days when Model19s had pinned barrels. Don't make us think were THAT old. Nice looking pistol. Enjoy!
  19. They've tried that. Too many times the vehicle wasn't worth the cost of towing, storing and selling it.
  20. Actually, they could.  The double jeopardy clause only protects against prosecutions by the same government.  The Supreme Court has said a state and the federal government are "separate sovereigns" and each is entitled to prosecute for violation of its laws.  If someone robs a bank, he can be prosecuted for armed robbery under state law and for bank robbery under federal law.     Plain old murder is not a federal crime, unless it is on federal property or involves a federal employee, etc.  But, there are other crimes, like using a firearm that has moved in interstate commerce to commit another crime.  Of course, there are violations of civil rights laws that may come into play here.

    G19 advice

    Or a member of GSSF.
  22. A lawyer I know, who specializes in employment law, said that he had several calls from employers who were previously unaware they could prohibit employees with carry permits from having firearms on their property.
  23. The American Rifleman had a story 20+ years ago that pretty much debunked the "detonation" theory. H.P. White Labs could never get powder to detonate. The conclusion was that explosions were caused by double loads, enhanced by too deeply seated bullets.
  24. Ruger Super Single Six, with .22 LR and Mag. cyclinders. Still have it.
  25. Remember, these state legislators are the same liars and/or idiots that want the exclusive right to nominate candidates for  U.S. Senate.  Does anyone think that on this issue they will suddenly have a revelation of common sense?
