If you can afford to shoot large volumes of 9mm and you're 100% sure you'll never start reloading, saving your brass is barely worth your trouble to pick it up. That's not to say I don't save brass in calibers I don't reload too. Difference is, I'm already picking it up, hauling it home, and sorting it out. If I've made it home with some odd pcs of brass, I hang onto them until I get 500 (if they're valuable) or 1000 (if they're something fairly worthless). The problem with 9mm range brass is that it's hard to find somebody willing to give you more than 3.5 cents each for them. Arranging a sale for $35 is barely worth all that stooping, sorting, and driving to me. :) There's better reasons to reload than to save money and they make it much more worth it. It makes shooting more fun IMO. I agree with gregintenn, you ought to consider it.

These are the VZ Tactical Diamonds. They are G10, which keeps me below IDPA's weight limit. They're the same as Sonny's, but his are the tiger stripe pattern, mine are the plain black.

Loved the bit about the 1911 in a Crossbreed Supertuck too.   I hope "they" keep these coming, I love them.   I liked this one too..   [media]http://youtu.be/QCuqFi6DgHY[/media]

I was pretty disappointed this morning when I saw that email too. What D3vo said is pretty crappy too, no way later orders should be filled first.   I guess it's just a well that I don't have any .22 ammo...I'd just waste it having fun at the range anyway.

  I have a .jpeg copy too, just in case.

A friend of mine showed me the same thing on his target at a class a couple of weeks ago. He loaded 115gr bullets w/ 4gr of Bullseye and was shooting them out of a Taurus 24/7 Pro DS, which I believe has a 5.25" barrel. Too light of a load is probably what it was, but I didn't ask him the diameter (.355 vs .356), which I think could have been the problem too.

I freakin LOVE those rifles too. Even at $99 on SOG or Bud's, they wind up being $125-130 shipped to my house. I know that isn't much cheaper than a 91/30, but the T-53 is a lot more fun to play with.

Oh, it was a joke? Then I need to take my "like" back.

That's the kind I have too. Mounting was a pain, now that you mention it, but it was worth it.

I bought bicycle hoists at Harbor Freight for $8.99 each. Work like a charm.

I just did some reading over on VZW forums. I HAD to see what they think about all this. I was appalled at how many people agreed that the wireless companies should just roll over and give the feds unlimited blanket access to all customer info. I was equally disgusted at how many people had no problem with it, since "it's for our own good."

I put one on mine too.I agree, what a difference! I can't imagine going back to the regular stock grip now.

Loved the trick shots! I think I'd have the hardest time shooting the gumball off the golf tee. That's a hard shot off-hand.

Well, that settles it, I'm a believer.

Like this?

The blame is on the event coordinators for choosing the site of the stupid pageant. I guess they thought they were being "progressive" by choosing this place.

  No different IMO than when I see a somebody drop $1300 on an ACOG for their $800 AR to punch paper on the weekends.

If the price were right, I'd buy one just to lug my crap to/from the rifle range. Beats the monstrosity I built:

I liked the show pretty good too. Looking forward to seeing how things play out.       One of favorite things about Comcast's DVR is that it remembers my series recordings from one season to another. Fairly smart of them to think of that.

I once hit a 18"X12" steel silhouette target from 100 yds at a handgun class with my CZ P-01 shooting WWB ammo. We gradually stepping back 20 yds at a time until we got to 100. A miss put you in the losers' circle. On day one I was out of the mix after the 60 yd shot. Only 1 student made it TO 100, but missed. On day 2, I made it to100 yds too, but we both missed. He hit on his next shot, but I needed 2 more shots to hit it. I still don't think my 3rd shot was luck. On a side note, which is a more fair comparison: on day one I was whining b/c the instructor made me shoot DA, since I brought a SA/DA gun. At the end of the drill the instructor asked for my gun and proceeded to put his very first shot on target from 100 yds with my gun, which he'd never fired. I was floored and do NOT believe that was luck either.

Yeah, I figured guns would catch up to demand faster than ammo. Still nice to see.

If you believe the mainstream media and C.A.I.R., I'd scream vulgar anti-Muslim epitaphs and demand the terrorist be removed from the ceremony...b/c that's what all white male Christians would do, right?

sure does! I'd like to meet his parents, so I could tell them what a fine young man they've raised. Clearly the village and the school system failed to brainwash this one.

I thought shooting out the tires of the getaway car only worked with Hollywood guns. Luckily they didn't have that kind of gun, b/c we all know that Hollywood bullets would have made the car flip end over end with a 1/2 twist and explode, injuring God only knows how many people. I hope they lose their HCP, at the least...freakin' mall cop wannabe guntards.

About the most impressive shot I've ever seen. My first instinct was...fluke. Then I thought, you can't really say it's a fluke, he did exactly what he was trying to do. Repeatable?
