I never could get my Kimber to run right. In all fairness I did pick it up used. I have a friend that has a whole closet full of 1911's but no Kimbers.

I have been wondering wh we don't have those. Oh, I know why. Because rape is already against the law.

That's true, you could sell that be brass and buy enough factory ammo for a lifetime.

^NAA will upgrade older NAA free so you can safely load all 5 chambers. I would love to see pictures of a older, well worn NAA.

I am going to throw out some personal experience here. When I first became a cop, the first homicide I ever went to was one. Shot to the head with a .22lr. I think of it everytime I drop my NAA in my pocket. I also have read the story of a SC Trooper who shot a suspect 5 times wit a .357 mag before the suspect shot the trooper once with a 22mag killing the trooper. The suspect is now playing basketball and lifting weights in prison. I figure I am up close and personal if I ever need to use a BUG. What are the odds that I will need a BuG as a off duty cop or civilian anyway.

I'm pretty sure it is the state qualifying them but what is important is the officer can not testify that his k-9 is certified to find money. I know some of the traffic interdiction units have dogs but most do not. They rely solely on intuition and intel which finds them a lot.

It is and on paper it shows. However, putting a baby Glock in my pocket and then the Shield, I could not really notice a difference. OWB I still had a hard time noticing a difference if I partially unloaded the baby Glock. The Shield shoots a lot better and feels better than a Glock. Ultimately the Shield not be small enough and the safety is what turned me away from keeping it. That and my personal love for j frame revolvers.

I keep thinking of things to say. The NAA's have had a huge price Increase, a reasonable price for a new .22lr version would be $215 and the std mag version $245. These prices are about $40 more than 1 year ago.

A couple of things, I am more accurate with a NAA Mini than my LCP, P32, or j frames. My Cobra derringer gas actually been 100% reliable firearm but it takes some planning to deploy and fire it. It has Heavier trigger pull and a heavy hammer to pull back. Honestly the Cobra (.32H&R Mag & a great round) is about as big as the p32/LCP. The NAA is a lot smaller and I carry it almost all the time. It is very seldom the NAA is my only firearm being carried. It is very easy to learn how to effectively pull and cock the NAA and fire. I actually don't even think of it as a single action because it is such a second nature. I really miss my 22lr version, I sold it to buy the magnum. A lot of people buy the short and cut the tip off of .22lr bullets to shoot out of the short. I knew a guy that carried the short in a pack of cigarettes. I know someone that has a friend wearing a .22lr mini velcrowed inside his hat.

I can hit milk jugs at 25 yards with aNAA 22lr. They are great quality, very easily carried, and a blast. Unfortunately I sold my .22lr to buy a 22 mag version. I miss the .22lr, I think it was a little bit more accurate than .22lr out of the magnum version. I strongly recommend the slightly longer berrels.

Sure, but it is not on qualification standards.

dlm37015, a dog will sit on any substance that has traces of drugs on it to include clothes, money and even possibly metallics. However dogs are not trained to sniff out money and it is not part of their qualification. My brother's friend's, second cousin's neighbor, Yadayada.. I do not know those landscapers nor do I know those cops. I try not to watch the news at all because they will present all the facts from one side of a case and not the facts of the other. I grew up around nurseries and have been landscaping on and off most of my life. Most of the landscapers I have met have used drugs, that's the reason they are a landscapers, but anyway I am sure there was more than just the fact they had money that led the police to believe they were rotten.

^He probably didn't even care what you said, he was evaluating your speech, smelling for alcohol and such. I have asked a drunk at 2am where they were going and they told me church.

I can't tell much of a difference either in the same Glock in 9 or .40. The shield in .40 is a lot milder than a Glock 26, maybe even more suttle than a G19.

The only disappointment in the Shield was I found it was only a fraction of an amount more concealable than a Baby Glock. The Shield is actually taller.

I don't know how S&W did it but the .40 Shield had less recoil than most .40 fullsize pistols. I have a LCP that has a lot more snap than a Shield.

I really don't have any experience but do you really think a loaded canoe would weigh anywhere near what a loaded bass boat would weigh? I understand a loaded bass boat ~3500lbs would only be going a couple miles a hour under trolling motor power.

I do wish I would have stocked up on 22lr. I really focused on .40 s&w more than anything, which was stupid because it is the easiest to find.

They make them for the 30, I tried to post a link but it failed.

I had not noticed there wasn't one for a Glock 30. I know they make them for Glock 20/21's though. They even make them for J frame revolvers, I would love to have one for a j frame.

They aren't bad, I have seen a few break away from the platform under pressure. The safariland ALS is about the same price or even a few dollars cheaper and a lot stronger. I had one but gave it to a friend that had a lot more need for a daily carry retention holster than I did.

I am going into a grey area but if he had a criminal charge he is not entitled to legal fees. If all they did was seize money and did not have a charge it is a civil forfeiture. If he wins the civil case he is entitled to every dime of legal compensation. It is crazy but that's the way the legal system is. The good news is you have good odds of reclaiming the seized money. I have heard just showing that you are employed making $xx a year, is enough to show you could have that much money, especially with bank receipts. A unemployed guy driving a Mercedes across the country with $50k would not cut it. The Clinton administration did a wonderful job creating an unjust act.

I wouldn't be too suspicious if I stopped you and it was your car(wife's, mother, son.etc) and you could tell me where the money was and how mic was there. These people get paid $300 to drive a car from FL to NY and are not told why. They do not know $32k is hidden under the spare tire, if they did they would take it. Story time; I had a California Hwy Patrol friend who responded to a fatal wreck in southern California to find bales of marijuana and money blowing across the hwy from where the car was loaded. The driver pulled through but could give no explanation as to why they were driving the car or who the owner was. Police found out the owner of the car was paid $500 to register the car a mont before. She lived in the projects and was on welfare for her three kids. The driver was a SoCal University student, the passenger was ejected and died but had several convictions for narcotics violations. This is a pretty typical story. Nowadays 18wheelers are the big targets and what drug runners are using. Putting a loaded car on a transport trailer is common also.

That is because we do respect your rights. A stop of a car with out of state plates, a driver with no relationship evidable to the cars owner, weird story of why they are going to a place, and a large amount of cash is a once in a career event for most of us. I am sure I have had one or two drug trafficers escape from my stops but most of the time these guys are really unlucky and really stupid.
