Well, $500 would be the absolute Mac I would even think about. That equals about the most expensive I have seen it for on store shelves.

Since no one else will answer I would want to pay less than $375. Around $300 would probably be a steal.

I'm not saying that they have not but all the guys I have talked to say they love the gen4 31's. Some of their exact words were, "357Sigs are exempt from issues".

I have had some great Keltecs p11/pf9 for around $250. Kahrs come to mind but people sometimes have trouble or they need a break in. The Taurus Slim gets ok reviews. Me, I would wait until I could get a Glock 26.

If you pour the wax/shot mix back into the shell, can you cut it of into 2 3/4" so it can cycle in a pump?

It's hard to say. I actually found .22lr at a pawn shop in N Ga yesterday, but I decided I didnt need any. I thought about it and when I saw some at Sportsmans last night I bought a box. 100 Remington hyper velocity for $10

It has been slightly over 10 years since I was walking around the reception station. While it was not a bad 4 or 5 days, it was miserable. I had never had do much time to think about life, love, family, and just why I was there. Looking back I understand but yet I still don't.

You are about spot on. Truthfully there should be no restriction, except for being of age, about any store selling liquor, wine, or beer. This is my prediction, and I have some ties to wholesale liquor and wine sales. TN grocery stores will be selling wine in grocery stores within 1 year. Even on Sundays. TN Liquor stores will not be allowed to sell corkscrews, mixers, beer, and etc. Pretty much no changes for them. You will see 30% of package stores close in the next 3 years. Package store prices on liquor will increase 20%. The current TN laws were established to help small buisness' and communities. The revenue from package stores was meant to help the community. Did you know that in TN it is against the law for one person or incorporation to own more than one package store? Truthfully it should be all or nothing for these stores.

Pretty much, I have been looking for a particular gun. I will post a WTT add offering a piece that I will only want to get rid of if I find that specific, desired gun to replace it. If I sell my particular firearm but I am not able to find the one to replace it I am without.

I have read OhShoot's derringer experience before. I guess I got lucky, mine has always fired, top barrel hits POA, bottom a little low ~6" at 25ft. I can shoot 32h&r mag, long, short, and even 32acp. I have come really close to getting rid of it but I have had such good luck with it I don't know if I could ever get lucky and find another good one. I don't know which is better to have, 5 shots of 22mag or 2 shots of 32mag.

Old trick, penetration is less, and try to keep it within 20yrds.

The bonding of the military was completely different than I could have ever imagined. The military is really small when it comes down to it. I shipped out to basic with a guy from my hometown, we went to basic/AIT together, we went to Hawaii together, and were in the same squad in Afghanistan.

It was 10 years ago this month that I left Basic/AIT at Leonard Wood. I rode a bus with about a dozen of my buds from basic to Ft Benning for Airborne School. I never did KP but I did just about everything else a soldier could do and then some, seriously. I don't believe most people believe me when I tell them all the things I got to do in 5years of AD and just 1 year in the guard.

And sometimes after getting an answer, we realize how wrong we were for so long.

I often carry a NAA mini-mag, not quite a derringer but along the same lines. I do have a Cobra 32h&r mag derringer that I have carried a few times. It is really a stash gun and a gun to keep around just to have something to shoot 4 different chamberings of .32. The .32H&R mag in a locked breech chamber without A cylinder gap makes for a very controllable but hard punching round. My dream derringer would be a DA American derringer or DA Hi Standard. All of these guns are BUGs obviously.

I have yet to see any 9mm since December. I have seen everything else at one point or another. My 9mm's have gotten cob webbs from sitting so long. I never had a reason to reload 9mm because it was so cheap. I only started reloading 40 because I was getting so much free brass. Like someone else pointed out, 9mm has risen in price. I went into GT Distributors and saw a sign for steel case 9mm for something like 100 rounds for $34.99. I said I would have bought it if it were brass case, the associate said it is all gone. Their cheapest brass case 40s&w was only 16.99/50.

Yes, Silvers is excellent.

Wait a minute. Where are you finding 9mm? You should get an aftermarket extractor for Glocks experiencing BTF. The Lone Wolf extractors seem to be the best. A few people have used older non-dipped extractors from Glock with semi-good results.

From looking at the damaged areas of that 19 it looks as if that was a seperated case from stressed brass. Nothing to do with lead. We have seen as many cases of factory ammo failing lately as we have seen reloads failing. I feel my reloads have better QC on my single stage press than some guy worried about getting off work running a progressive press in a factory.

Kahrs are some of the roughest recoiling pistols I have ever shot.

He should get a Glock 19 over a Glock 23 so he can drive all over town looking for 9mm ammo. I find 9mm ammo to be almost extinct. If he would like to shoot my Gen4 Glock 23 before he buys one he is welcome to. Tell him to bring the ammo.

Deleted, I was confusing the problem for something else.

Do you have a link for those stories? The fact is HCP holders are still human but less likely to commit crimes than nonHCP holders. Yesterday a 18yo in Chattanooga chased a 16yo from a school and shot him dead. This same 18yo was already a murder suspect and has been arrested for carrying deadly weapons. Obviously he isn't following the rules. Carry to protect yourself from those who do not follow the rules.

Hey, it's Walmart, there should be some encintive to work there.

I got a heads up from a friend that NAA revolvers of all things went up in price dramatically. I was able to score one in another shop for $20 cheaper than a new one would cost a dealer. My buddy has said people are buying revolvers for every imaginable reason. Some people fear that all autos or autos holding more than 6 rounds could receive a ban, looks unlikely now.
