I'm flying in so no guns for me. Staying downtown, near the convention ctr. Find any good food?

I'm also heading to Houston for a training class next week. Interesting info here.

Mine shoots great, though it doesn't like non-jacketed hollow points. I've never made the mistake of tearing it down to clean it.

The grip and stance become much more important as she progresses to more powerful handguns. Best to make sure they're both correct now. My wife requires occasional reminders to shoot off her front foot, rather than her back foot. Next time you go, have some simple practice drills prepared. It'll help keep it interesting, rather than mindlessly perforating paper. You might also talk her into signing up for the "Women on Target" course. My wife took it a while back (before the staff shake-up) and found it fun and informative.

I take mine to the range every time I go (which has been quite infrequent lately ). I'll typically fire 20-100 rounds with it, depending on what I'm working on. Since my 9mm is a little cheaper to shoot, it tends to get the bulk of the work. I also practice drawing and dry firing at home occasionally.

Perhaps you've already seen this... http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handguns/45568-taurus-owners-i-have-question.html My personal experience is limited to my PT145, which I really like. I've had it for about 5 years, 800-ish rounds, no problems.

Greetings! I'm not a hunter, but I wish I was. Too busy with kids. I'd like to get into it in the next couple years.

Did you have city sewer service at your old house? If you had septic and your new house has sewers, expect your bill to approximately triple due to sewer charges.... your $40 bill becomes $120. Beyond that, have you moved to a different utility company? Rates can vary considerably.

Plastic media is commonly used for grit blast type cleaning operations. It's great for light work. I'd say the BB's have a similar effect.

The only way to truly stop the corrosion is to sand/polish the affected areas to bare metal and apply a corrosion resistant surface treatment (bluing, parkerize, etc.). The trouble is that the tiny stuff in the very bottom of the pits is what's causing the corrosion to continue. Until you remove it and put a barrier in place, you can't stop it. It could also be that the bits of rust you see is foreign material that's sitting on (or embedded in) the surface and corroding. Again, they have to be removed. If you don't want to do any of that, you can stop the corrosion by putting it in a non-oxidizing environment (a sealed container full of nitrogen, argon, or other inert gas).

You'd need to know the powder charge behind each to determine for sure. But I doubt it's enough difference to matter.

Also be aware of 922® compliance issues when building a kit gun.

I have a Taurus PT145 and love it. Had it for about 4 years, accurate and reliable.

A little chafing in sensitive areas can be quite the motivator. Walking funny because your muscles are sore is one thing, walking funny because other things are sore is something else entirely.

I received this via email from my sister. She received from a friend, who is the author's aunt. Thought I'd share...

Congrats!

Based on the 2" barrel data given above, you get approximately a 26% more muzzle energy with a .357. The energy difference increases to 38% with a 4" barrel and 50% with a 6" barrel. The difference with a 12" barrel is also 50%. So that tells me that you're only getting half the possible benefit of using .357's in a snubby. The rest of the energy is lost as muzzle blast.

Blocked again for me as well. Odd. I'm sure the boss will get it squared away shortly.

It showed up blocked for me on my first attempt monday morning. I read the thread saying Google had fixed it after lunch today and found it to be fixed immediately. I may no attempts with Firefox between monday morning and this afternoon. That said, just keep trying.

If the weather was such that I really needed that 4th season capability... I'd stay home. But yes, depends on where you intend to go and when. It can get quite cold up high in the Appalachians when it's balmy in the valleys. Backpacker Magazine - Gear Finder: Tents

It may have already been mentioned in here somewhere, but you might also look at a belly band.

This. I carry a PT145 and I've no issue with the recoil in the relatively small gun. .357's in a snubby? Not a chance. And this. Accuracy (under stress) is far more important than caliber. Use whatever gun you shoot well, period.

I wish I did, does that count? My 2 yr old likes to ride around the neighborhood occasionally in his toddler seat. That's about all I have time for these days. Years ago, I rode the road bike lots.
