I have researched the Windicators and they are decent for the money. I think one day I will own one.

My 2.5” S&W 19 w/ 357 magnums outshoots every handgun I own with longer barrels.

Here lately I have been putting guns on consignment at a gun shop. While I know the guy well, most shops offer consignment programs. The rate at my place is 10% or $35 if you are asking less than $350.

The HST in 45acp is about the most common LE load for those of us toting 45’s. The perform well in all the test I have seen. It’s also a very affordable round at normally less than $30/50. https://www.sgammo.com/product/federal/50-round-box-45-auto-federal-hst-230-grain-hp-hollow-point-le-ammo-p45hst2

The biggest weakness of 38 spl, and other low pressure and velocity cartridges, is the lack of expansion. The 110gr DPX and the old Federal Nyclad are about the only two that will sometimes expand at standard velocities.

I don’t really understand what you are trying to say. Are you saying there are -1’s that are not 3” barrels or that 3” without a full-lug lug is not rare? I looked for years for a 3” pencil barrel, or one without a full-lug like the 60-4and 60-10 has. Edit: It looks like the 60-1 is actually the adjustable sight 2”.

A 60-1 is a very rare 3” model. I have a non pinned 60 no dash made in 1983. The no dash models ran from the begging all the way until about 87. A mint in box, pinned 60 no dash is probably worth up to $650. One without the box and with signs of minor carry wear is probably worth as much as $450. The j frame market has went down some over the last two years. I am seeing lots of nolock j frames for around $350 right now.

I too have come close to spending the six Benjamins for the stainless shopkeeper.

Pretty much my story. I always shoot 100% on quals with my agency issued gen4 23. I don’t even own a Glock in 9mm. I just didn’t see the need to keep a 9mm Glock around when I get tons of free Glock 40 Mags and 40 ammo. I do have some other 9mm guns though. I asked our chief if we were sticking with 40’s, and his response was he just bought another 100 cases of 40. I would just assume keep the 40’s.

I will sometimes purposely hit a zombie thread with an AED for giggles in forums I don’t visit too often. Some websites never archive their discussions. There is nothing like finding an 18 year old thread. Oh, and 327 Federal for the win!

I don’t remember the specifics, but I shot tons of bunny fart loads out of a Glock 23 Gen 4. It was something like 775fps with a 180 gr bullet, and it never failed to cycle.

I am really only surprised by the Keltec PMR -30 and the 938. The others are exactly what I expected to see.

It seems like up till a month ago I never saw much of the 32-20 and pretty much ruled it obsololete and all guns chambered in it sitting in private collections that never got shot. Well, I stumbled up a fairly honest Police Positive for $200. I kept thinking it was a nice candidate for a Fitz Special project. I passed, but it seems like every gun shop I go to has a used 32-20 something or at least a box of ammo for it.

It seems like they have had H&K 45’s for close to a decade now.

I really don’t feel a difference with an 11oz 342 compared to a 15oz 642 as long as they have the same 38spl loads. It is nice to have the 357 options. It has been a long time since I’d fired a full powered magnum in a scandium j frame, but I lived to tell the tell. I will admit though, I tend to like recoil. Does 45 win mag in a derringer interest anyone?

What he said.

Well, he is a redshirt freshman, he should not be expected to be a team leader. It would be great if he was, but QB or not it’s a lot to ask. I personally don’t think Botch Jones has control of his own team. He has fed them too many of his vacuum cleaner salesman speeches and they no longer have confidence in him.

It’s not that I am a huge TN fan, but I am a huge SEC fan, todays game made it obvious to me that there are a lot of athletes on that team without any leadership. I didn’t think this until today, but TN needs to find anyway possible get some sense of direction into that team. I don’t know if it means finding a new home for Jones, or if someone can find some team building measures. I think at a minimum TN needs a new offensive coordinator; I have never seen so many missed blocks and busted plays this late into a season.

I fondled one at GT's and I am considering one now. I have to say though, the trigger was the best I have ever felt on a Glock. The cut out in the bottom actually didn't bother me as much as it does on a Gen2; weird I know. The slide finish may actually be as great as it once was, but only time will tell for sure. The improved night sight I could definitely live with. I could tell the gun was wider in the flared magwell and the because of the ambi slide release. I am curious how many holsters the gen5 will not fit because of the thickness of the ambi slide release.

We had a woman show up and plead guilty which was only a $50 ticket. She stumped the courts and the attorneys when she said she wasn't going to pay it. There was nothing, not a thing, that the courts could do. They weren't going to sue her for the money. They were hoping the accused would either pay or not show up. Pleading and guilty and not paying was something they never could figure out.

So here is my experience with speed cameras. I worked for a small town outside of Chattanooga that had a representative come to us and give us the spill on how their company worked. They supplied the camera which was on a 4x8 trailer and they gave us the training on how to use it. Officers set up the trailer and watched the trailer and traffic throughout the day. We, POST Certified Officers, reviewed the offenses at the end of the day, and dropped the disk in the mail that went to St. Louis. The company mailed the violation notices back to the officer who then signed them and mailed them directly to the offender. The violation gave the offense, time, date, and two photos of the vehicle committing the offense. You also got a link to watch the violation on camera. There were some various directions on options to take such as paying, calling, or appearing in court on xx-xx-xx. On xx-xx-xxxx date the accused could appear and state their case. A failure to appear resulted in a registered letter with a new court date. On that court date if they didn't show the registered owner would get a license revocation sent to TN DOS. We occasionally got people who would stop in complaining that they never new of the offense and asked for help getting their license reinstated. People didn't get their license suspended for not paying but for failure to appear. I don't know how other places do it. I know the City of Chattanooga actually has officers in the vehicle with the camera. I don't know if a private party is involved at all.

The p229 and p226 handle the 40s&w catridge wonderfully. Otherwise welcome to one of my biggest gripes about Sig; they have too many different variations. Unless that gun is prestine, I don't think $600 w/crimson trace is that smoking hot of a deal. There are tons of p229 40's out there below $500, but you do have to know what you are buying.

Where did you have to go to find those?

Maybe a single action Arminius. Good luck finding one in a store local; they haven't been made in probably 30 years. You may find one on Gunbroker though. They are normally good shooting guns.
