  1. The felon could still be prosecuted for themself using a firearm in self-defense though; felon in possession is a federal crime. However, that comes down to the ATF taking it to a federal prosecutor who takes it.
  2. You really need a deadbolt in conjunction with that "entry lockset". They can still key bump a deadbolt, but it takes skills.
  3. Eray is correct, but I know that you have no control over the inventory. I would just tell people that quality is hit or miss, but it is better than not having a firearm. Just encourage test firing of all firearms.
  4. The 3" has a full-length ejector rod and is about like a g19/23 on the universal weapon scale. I have pocket carried the 65 a time or two but with different grips.
  5. Don't bother with a 2.5"; the 3" are the creme de la creme.
  6. Kahr's triggers are just different; they are not necessarily any better or any worst as far as the triggers go. I do not like some of the other aspects of the Kahr. My father has a 9mm PPS and the trigger is about the only thing similar to a Glock. I flirted with the idea of getting a PPS for a long time until the Shields came out and I no longer had te desire to own a PPS. I find the Shield's trigger kind of Kahr like and kind of Glock like, but better than both. The Shield also has less recoil than the PPS as far as my father and I can tell. They rounded the Shield in areas where the PPS should have been rounded and lowered the axis. I have shot a G42 and it a pretty good shooter. With it being slightly lighter than the Shield and slightly smaller, it recoils the same or a little less. I believe a Glock 9mm based of the 42, but the size of a Shield will shoot well. While I believe this to be true, I wouldn't believe just anything Lennie says.
  7. Did they say where the M&P 9's came from since they didn't like them?
  8. The grip looks like the same dimension as a G42 which would mean it is photoshopped. A 9x19 round is too long to fit in a G42 magwell and ejection port.
  9. If someone wants to spend a few more dollars, but have the chance to see it first, Buds in Sevierville has them for $299. They looked pretty good, but I think I would have bought a nicer S&W 5906 for the same price next door.
  10. I am quoting myself: "The M&P Shield is amazing".
  11. The Lee scale that comes in those kits is fine. It would be nice if it went higher, but I found mine to be as accurate as many others.
  12. You mentioned about not thinking that you need the 4 die set for the 9mm. I get by without one but I really wish that I had one.
  13. I would be willing to bet the Lee and the RCBS will last you more than a million pulls of the handle. If I were starting over tomorrow I would probably but the RCBS kit, but that is just how I feel today. Most people find out over time the equipment and methods that work best for them. It honestly is trial and headache to best determine your desired ways of reloading. I do not know why they just don't include factory crimp dies with every die set because everyone will find they like them. Also, the last time I checked .223 carbide dies cost big dollars, and unless you buy used, old 9mm dies they will be carbide.
  14. One of my grandpas was a sheriffs deputy some in the 60's and 70's; most cops thought you should carry the biggest gun you can stand. He had a guy at gun point one night when he decided to make a run for it straight at my grandpa. Grandpa shot him with a pencil barrel S&W .38. The turd said later that the gun looked small so he was not worried about it hurting. My grandpa could only carry a .38 so he went to a heavy barrel. Then turds cried at the sight of it and thought that it was a hand cannon.
  15. I regret not buying an authentic Enfield when I was in Afghanistan ten years ago. They were left over from the British occupation in the 1880's. The locals used to trade them in the bizzars for around $150, but it was a hassle to ship them back to the states.
  16. It was either out of battery or a hand was impacting the hammer.
  17. Yes, it was for sure a 40 and I believe that it was a 226 rather than a 229.
  18. This is no joke, a Baptist church that I went to as a teen used to call members who didn't show up on speaker phone in front of the whole congregation. The would often wish them well, tell them that we missed them, and sometimes ask them to drop a check in the mail. I think they knew about the stereotype and made laughs about it.  I would go back to that church every time the doors would open if it were the same people there.  It was a great group; even my wife, a life-long Methodist, thought the world of them.
  19. Squib loads are more common with factory ammo for sure. Separated case cartridges are more common with reloads. I have never seen one happen before me, but local police departments have had to stress the importance of ceasing fire when a pop but no kick occurs do to a huge amount of them over the last couple of years on the police range.
  20. How many has he seen get shot from a 9mm? There is a guy up in NYC, Angel Alvarez, that got shot more than 20 times by NYPD, and one of those was in the head, that could probably argue that 9mm ain't shit.
  21. I have had difficulties with it over the last 2 days.
  22. I don't think it is too ugly, but if you have never shot and handled a 3" revolver you are missing out. I saw a video of it on YouTube and it looks like it still has the short ejector rod though.
  23. Yeah, but there is a 50/50 chance that a potluck will occur afterwards.
  24. I am sure that you can take your LCR and learn a lot with it, but I would venture that this class is to teach semi auto drawing, reloads, and emergency drills that pertain to semis.
  25. Similar nonsense is said in every gun shop across the country. Eavesdrop sometime and you will hear.
