Wgat was the ammo that you were using. Some of the steel case stuff is notorious for weak strikes.

No that is how Dawson got the light that was already on him cranked up to full wattage. The gun used to kill the Sgt was bought on a 4473 only 45 days prior by Dawson at a pawn shop. I was told by a ATF agent the intent to make a profit is what really makes it a crime. Felons with firearms and NFA items are what the ATF really focus on but sometimes without even trying these guys fall in their laps. All four of these guys were idiots, Dawson the biggest.

Since I have seen the evidence from that case, how a jury failed to to convict is beyond me. More less for the fact the brothers stories cannot be supported by the evidence at all. It's been a while but I seam to recall a hung jury on one and they were both found guilty in a civil trial(multi millions).

Go to Fugates. I have always had great experiences there and a few days into the New Year I stopped in and prices were right where they should be and were 6 months ago.

Correct but I believe this started in 2010. Wow that has been 3 years.

You can get a factory 19 barrel for under $200 from Glock or most anyone. Most don't value a factory barrel any different than a aftermarket. My opinion is just shoot lead but clean it frequently.

You can buy cast bullets.

Unique is probably the best. Supposedly it used to be dirty but I bought 1lbs last year that I have just about used up that burns as clean as any factory ammo I have ever used. W231, bullseye, and 2400 are very common pistol powders. Yes, and Titegroup.

At a Walmart this morning some guy that looked like Charlie Daniels was itching about the lack of .45 ammo saying, "All they ever order .40 ammo and no one buys it".

Really there is so many, I like Unique, Universal, and Power Pistol in the Alliant brand. I have been recommended Accurate No. 5 because it meters well though. My recommendation is to use the One you can find the most info and load data for. Truthfully most any powder can be used in handguns and shotguns.

As a LEO, I really don't care if people carry illegally as I just assume everyone I come in contact with has a weapon anyway. But there is one huge problem with this: the way a jury persieves you carrying without a permit when you supposedly acted in self defense.

Old, small, and weak hands has me worried that a auto could be challenging. My FIL has a Glock that he can longer load the magazine on and he has a hard time racking the slide but it is doable. Don't feel bad because I also know a athletic female that can't rack most slides without the use of a hard object. If this isn't a carry gun then a Glock 21 would be good option, it weighs so much it may recoil less than most all othe center fire autos. Of course 1911's with their weight recoil smoothly.

In the 9mm flavor I have a Shield(40) and it is the smoothest handling pocket pistol I have ever handled. The recoil is so mild even with the .40 I am anxious to see if a 9 handles better. I have not shot a compact or fullsize M&P but S&W did a outstanding job on the Shield.

In 2012 it was reported that DHS purchased 450 million rounds of .40s&w. The LE shortages as more .45 than .40 though.

I have for years been trying to find a .45 that I could enjoy. The M&P 45 particularly a compact really catches my eye. M&P's can have triggers inconsistent from one to another though. All the H&K's in .45 are just too big and expensive. I have shot a Sig 220 and I can tell you it's still a little large but just a pleasure to shoot. A Bersa .45 is actually a interesting gun if you ever get a chance to feel one. What works for one doesn't work for another. You need to handle as many guns as you can before making a purchase.

Amazing how the two undefeated giants did not beat a SEC team in 2012. Alabama, Georgia and Texas A&M lost to SEC teams. Once again the BCS bowl system...

Here is what I can tell you about Indiana and carrying in a TN HCP. The restricted places are about the same as they are in TN. I would recommend just staying away from child care centers regardless because that is about they only grey area of carrying there. There gunbuster no weapon signs don't really carry much weight. The way I understand it the responding LEO makes the decisions on charging, ignoring or asking you to go way. I do advice concealing you carry weapon in Indiana, your legal to OC there but people just don't do it. You will get checked if OCing and it will take a long time for them to establish that you are good to go because they gave not always accepted TN HCP.

Does everyone know the difference in Notre Dame and Lucky Charms? One belongs in a bowl and the other doesn't.

I'm sure they are pounding out as many hi capacity magazines as they can for now. I once lived in a state that restricted magazines to 10rds and just getting those were sometimes difficult. I actually suspect that 10rd mags will be a hot commodity for months to come regardless.

According to my wacko neighbor, who i think hates guns, it was done to cover up Ghazni, the fiscal cliff, and something else. I wish I would have listened. This guy is so against government.

They are saying he was a bullying victim and was disarmed by a teacher who was wounded in the incident.

Normally a j frame, a M&P Shield, a LCP or a Glock with an IPhone on the other side. I don't carry a 101yr old phone so why carry a 101 handgun design?

I took my reloading money and bought 4 boxes of that bonded JHP Winchester 180 gr at Walmart in Dayton today for like $100. I left 2 boxes for someone else. It's the repackaged PDX stuff with brass casings.

I know Notre Dame was happy to just be there. I knew the true National Title was awarded when Bama beat the Dawgs for the SEC Title. It was obvious the Irish were in over their head after the first series.
