Well, you could probably find about as good of a deal online as in stores. Some of my friends bought some of the Glock 22's from sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com. As previously mentioned, cdnnsports, budsonline, and a few others should be able to get you well under the $375otd price on several models.

If you ever want me to decap and resize your brass because you have a large amount just hit me up.

The cw45 was one of the worst recoiling handguns I ever shot. My S&W 360 with magnum cartridges is probably softer in recoil.

Craig's is hit or miss. I have seen them have some of the best deals imaginable and then not have anything. Is there anything specific you are looking for as far as police trade ins?

I know I am a minority but I have many purposes for derringers. I just ask that the derringer be 100% reliable. That is actually less than I would have thought.

Who wants to bet that they think it's worth more than any of us would even consider paying.

No, of course not. For the most part we set speed limits based on a principle known as The 85 Percentile Speed. Basically this is the speed 85 out of 100 vehicles will not exceed. Unfortunately, not all streets get a survey; most streets will get set a speed limit in accordance with other surveys. Studies have shown that when a maximum speed limit is over or under this speed it results in considerably more traffic concerns.

I bet you could make it work. You could probably tape some small dowl rod down in the top machine work for molding in kydex. I don't think leather would give you any problems.

I tried a box in a Glock 26 and had one weak primer strike. It fired the second time in my Shield.

I believe someone with the name KahrMan would know, but I thought the pm 40 slide was shaped a little different than the cm40. But, I bet you could make it work.

I believe the cw9 and 40 have the same slide profile as their little cm counterparts except being shorter.

I don't think you completely get the gist of the difference. We have tried on a test track to to stop a crown vic from 80mph in less than 200 ft. It just can't be done. From the point you witness danger, or we yell out danger, you have already traveled over 100ft before your brakes start to grab. If we reduce the speed to 40mph we can stop that vehicle in almost the same distance that was previously the reactionary gap. We are never going to eliminate all traffic collisions. All we can ever hope to do is reduce the amount and reduce the severity of collisions.

I know why you say that, and to an extent you are correct. However, it took some formal training and testing scenarios for me to realize some things. One, it takes nearly three times the distance for a vehicle traveling 80 to come to a stop as one doing half that speed. Even if you are paying attention and have a sharp mind you have a .07 sec reactionary time as opposed to the average person who may have a 1.5 reactionary time to witness danger, decide to take evasive or defensive measures, and then act. Regardless, when you are driving 80 mph, you have traveled a minimum of 111.73 ft from the time that you perceived a threat until the time you have first applied the brake if you have a 1 second reaction time. Another point I like to make, and I learned this from a trip to the morgue, your internal organs become mush when you go from 80mph to stationary instantly. Remember, speed never killed anyone; it's coming to an immediate, complete stop that will get you.

I recall the cm/pm 45's being a thicker gun. I can't recall if the cm9 is the same width or not. Edit: The cm40 is .04" thicker than the cm9.

This one was very similar and it cost the buyer close to $1,000 after sale price, shipping, and transfer. It is any mans guess if these classic Smiths will continue to climb in price. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=553665178

The Blue Book is worthless now! That gun would bring more than $700 on gunbroker.

I can't imagine how difficult your situation must be. The only thing more difficult must be losing a child, but both are so unimaginable neither can be measurable. All we can ever do is make the most of our time with our loved ones and cherish memories, all while hopeing for their eternal peace. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I have seen some Smiths double in price over the last couple of years.

That's a 2.5" barrel. The 3" will have the full length ejector rod and may exceed $1k.

They have went up a lot and I would say $600 would be a safe number. There are several similar that are well over $700 on gunbroker.

Where I have worked the company pays overtime for the officer to sit, retrieve, review footage, and show for court. I imagine there are some places that the officer's entire job is to work cameras , but then I don't know how that works.

Actually, there are a few 64's that came as 357's and a few 10's that came the same way. The majority of those 64's were for Oklahoma State Patrol.

I have heard that quote from him before, but truth is even if you went to court and lost you were no longer bound by even the $50 max fine. If you pled your case and was found guilty it was the typical $50 fine (because our city court judge was appointed and not elected), plus court fees, and it was a moving violation after that. I didn't see this happen but a few times. Most cases were dismissed, and I agree that most should have been. Our court clerk was the one who submitted the form to the department of safety and it was no different for a photo enforcement ticket or a standard ticket. I met two people who came to visit concerning a notification from the department of safety about their suspended license. Believe it or not, but they were both very corgel and just wanted to know how to fix the situation. Both stated they had paid online and felt the payment must not have been received, and I actually believed them. If I recall it only took a few days after missing court for the suspension to take place. Edit: I text a friend and asked if he knew why or how we were able to suspend a license and he brought up a good point. The accused had their license suspended for failure to appear and not for the citation itself.

Not true, they suspend the license of the registered owner after so long. I know for a fact. I did hear of an interesting event. A woman got her ticket in the mail, went in and plead guilty, but stated she did not have the $50 to pay. Since at this point it is still considered a civil violation they decided any action to take was going to cost them far more than $50. I never heard what became of it but the last I heard they just forgot about it. That city that I worked in no longer has traffic or red light cameras.

No, the magnums have a longer cylinder. Those are somewhat common, but they are still pricey and desireable. Now it is the three inch 66 that is highly sought after.
