If you can find 9mm, just buy it. I believe what you are seeing is 2012's .40 ammo that is still on shelves compadres to 2013's 9mm that has cost the retailer a premium. I have noticed hoarders like 9mm, 223, and 22lr. I confirmed this when I went to GT Distributors a while back and they told me I could buy as much .40 S&w ammo as I like.

I have time as an active duty MP and time in the guard as a MP. Active Duty was the experience of a lifetime to see stupidity amongst all MOS's. Of course I have seen MP's get stupid, I have seen them all. I can see it now, these guys thought that no one knew those magazines were there and that no one would miss them. I am not saying it is was right and I would not have taken them, but I have known plenty of supply Sgts say they don't know what to do with" x" item, I am not supposed to have those, go throw these away in your trunk. The military has a redicilous way of wanting/not wanting some items. I have said it for years, I wished the military would just pay us less and give us all the equipment. It would have made life so much easier. Obviously firearms would/should be heavily accountable. However, the likely hood that this was just plain theft is very likely.

From what I gather you can pretty much use your regular powder and use the min. amount and weigh the shot to how many grains the bullet in your data would be.

Knoxville Police Looking at New Pistols
Patton replied to Moped's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
When THP switched to Gen 4 G31's about a year ago they could buy the Gen3's for about $400 not really a huge savings verses a blue label for $431 OTD. KPD and KCSO, until this year, have been using G22's for about a decade. -

Could you imagine if something happened to the big O and we had that idiot. -
I have never done it myself but I have heard of a lot of others making their own shot shells like that.

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. -
Just How Long Will It Take To Reload This Batch
Patton replied to runco's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
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.

Co-worker says it's illegal to have more than 10,000$ on your person?
Patton replied to timcar86's topic in General Chat
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.
