They had 2 left as of last Saturday. Your chances aren't bad...they had 5 last Monday and had 3 left by Saturday. Odds are they may still have one left, if you hurry.

Are you kidding? You guys are "enablers" of the worst kind! LOL

I'd buy a Hi-Point first. LOL

I had a great time shooting it this weekend. I am very happy I didn't walk out of there with some stupid ol gunpowder Plus, I've had pleasant dreams every night of all the cool stuff I can get for it...holster(s), mags, sights, grips!

There shouldn't have been any LOADED firearms in the classroom.

I had some Cerakoting done by a guy at The Armory in Lebanon. He did a real good job and I'm happy with the final product, but it took almost twice as long as he quoted me.

I never know if the guys in these testimonials are paid and/or believe in the product or not. Either way, Ken Hackathorn makes a pretty good case for the GFA in this video too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDd2M-It1b4&feature=youtube_gdata_player

At a class I took once, the instructor did this demonstration...only he sprung for a fancy Galco Matrix holster instead. The Fobus video could've saved him $30, LOL.

Dang! That's impressive work.

I've only shot a 1911 once until this weekend. I see why folks like them so much. I was able to pull off about a 2.5" to 3" group at @ 10 yds by the middle of my first box of ammo.

I swear I just went in to look around...maybe pick up an extra pound of powder at the most. But, I walked out with one of these instead: It's not my fault, who'd of thought they'd even have one...let alone 3 of them?

UPDATE: Turns out, spinning the cases while applying the stain didn't work. When the dyed brass falls onto my drying mat, whatever it touches takes the stain off the brass. I tumbled and cleaned the brass well with denatured alcohol and put it in a gallon-sized Ziploc. Splashing in about .5 to .75 oz of dye and shaking the bag worked better than anything else I tried. The problem is there's still splotchy areas on the brass (often an entire side of a case) that won't "take" the dye. It looks/acts like it's oily, but the alcohol should've fixed that. Also, the dye DOES come off during tumbling, but not all of it. Applying more will only lead to build-up that could make the brass too thick to be usable. So, I had to clean the brass with alcohol after tumbling to apply more dye, which I WON'T do after each use (too much fuss). All-in-all, I'm NOT considering the Dykem idea a complete bust. It works as well as a Sharpie, but is messy. I'll just use it to mark the headstamp to make my sorting easier and go back to hoping I find it all before someone else sweeps it up at the range.

I've seen Jerry Miculek use a red dot mounted at 45 degrees in 3-gun on TV. I've never seen iron sights like that though. Great idea!

I have a P-32 that I've been carrying as a BUG for a couple of years now. I put a couple of mags through it about once a month to be sure nothing's wrong. I don't have a single complaint about mine. In fact, I liked it enough to put a Crimson Trace Laserguard on it. They ain't cheap, so that's a decent sized commitment I wouldn't have made if I didn't trust the gun.

i entered my email address at 8 or 10 websites that will notify you when Hornady 9x18 was back in stock. Funny thing is 4 of them emaied me the same day saying it was in stock, so I got to be choosey about price...a little. Starline brass is top notch stuff, but it's about 18 cents per case. I know I can reload it many times, but that's too pricey for a cheapskate like me.

Wow! When do you ever have time to shoot? LOL

As far as reloads go...I try to keep 500 rounds of 9mm Lugers ahead of my shooting pace. Likewise, I keep 200 9mm Makarovs on hand. I just keep these in 100 ct MTM boxes, since I rotate through this stock at least once per month. When it comes to store bought...I panic when I open the last 550 round box of Federal 22's. There's always at least a box or 2 of .32 ACPs and .380s in my ammo cabinet along with a couple hundred 12 and 20 gauge shells. My wife thinks this is too much...I wish she realized how much others keep on hand, so she'd get off my back about spending so much time in the garage reloading.

4 more years of that last one and this place will look like a junk yard.

Nice! That looks like as sturdy a bench as I've seen. Did you build it? That's an awesome setup. How many calibers do you reload?

This is my main bench for 9mm Luger The small one is currently setup for 9mm Makarov. That's one of my dogs, Layla, photo-bombing my pics. It also has a small press dedicate to depriming with a little trap under it to catch spent primers. I can lift the little metal gate to clean them out.

Oh great! Another "Martin" gets shot. Please tell me Moffit wasn't a white guy. The last thing we nees is Jesse and Al up here starting protests and screaming for Moffit's arrest.

Same thing is happening to me too on several forum threads. I had to use Tapatalk instead of web browser just to read/reply to this thread.

I wanted to make trimming the brass as painful as possible, so I used a Lee Zip Trim and case trimmer with ball grip. That way I will be more careful to find all my brass to avoid doing it again for a long time. Staining them with the red Dykem was easier than trimming more.

Heck yeah!

The reason I did it that way is because some guns may "prefer" a different OAL than others to cycle well. I've got a gun that will jam every time if my OAL gets over 1.135 to 1.14", because the bullet is too long to make the angle up the feed ramp. Likewise, if too short the bullet can stovepipe when rounds are stripped off the mag. I'm not saying it's scientific, just a starting point. Rarely do I find a listing in a manual where the test rounds were fired in a gun similar to mine.
