Let me toss in some 2 cent stuff, just for what it's worth. When I buy any tool, I tend to try to go with the one that will require the least amount of time and effort if the tool is going to be used a lot. If I can save a LOT of time, and wear and tear on my hands over the life of the investment, then I will generally always take the "cry once" attitude.   I started with a Hornady crank trimmer (works great), and a motorized Hornady Case Prep assistant (also works great). When I got 2000 Lake City cases to be converted to 300 BLK from David. I said hell no. Paying a few hundred dollars extra to make me stop hating brass prep was worth it for me. I get a little back from that investment with every case.    When I was just doing 458 SOCOM, the fiddly prep setup worked just fine. When Obama gets reelected and you start looking at thousands of rounds, the high volume prep solutions start looking real good. Sometimes a little laziness can be a virtue. :)

  Yes. So does my RCBS with the 3-way cutting heads. Did I mention I HATE brass prep? :)

  You're more diligent than me. I did 700 Blackout cases, and used an RCBS power trimmer with a 3-way cutting head. I hate brass prep, especially when the tool has a crank :)

  Conscious reholstering is always a good idea. 

  A 9mm won't even hurt your nuts. A .45 will blow them plumb off

Use the right holster. Don't pull the trigger. 

Raymond needs a swift kick to the cojones. THAT will put a 230 pound man on the ground.

  I would have seen it if I was close enough. But, I've been in broadcasting all my life. Anybody moving toward the talent with an open microphone will have my attention. And, I'm reasonably sure I would have shot the fat bastard when I saw that Glock come out. Wouldn't be the first time a broadcaster was threatened by some nut job from the crowd. You never know what you're gonna do until it happens. Just trying to put myself there.

Congrats!

  Even though the cop damn near missed him

The rules changed when he pulled the gun. I'm guessing the leg shot was a donut getting in the way of a center mass shot :)

  A crumbled up body in the middle of the highway is a real traffic hazard too. Don't be a pussy. Shoot yourself like a man :)

  Those are both from the TGO group receiver buy. Whole different kinda budget. Both in 6.5 Grendel.

Congrats, man. You won't ever regret taking the leap.

May need to shoot these first. They're way over a year old...

I was surprised

Took longer to get a damn picture up than it did to build the lower. ####! Carry handle shows up tomorrow. Unlike some zombie hunters, I need a rear sight before I can call it a gun.

  Generous grease on the parts, and had to hunt down a hex driver for the grip screw. It's done

Works good!

This stuff looks great! Let me slap this lower together and I'll be right back.

  I'm not worried. I expect it to be functional, and look pretty good. I have plenty of high grade rifles. 

  I have been pissed at them for years, but never about quality. It was about Charlene taking 3 weeks to get off her fat ass and waddle my order back to the shipping table. This recent two orders shipped as fast as BCM. I'm anxious to see how crappy this PTAC stuff is. Should make a great truck gun.

  I reckon I better catch up :)   So... why is it that the more AR parts on the UPS truck, the later it shows up? I got my punches all lined up.
