I had all the ammo lined up in perfect groups of equal number with tiny paper labels on them. Unfortunately, the box came open in transit and some spilled out, thus the unequal number of rounds per group and the extra groups of mixed swc and rn on the last paper. I called a couple of those flyers, but didn't mention it. I figured with nothing but an upside-down bucket that's to be expected even at only 5 yards. When I get my hands on a real rest, I'll post some more scientific-like results at 15 yrds or 50'.

Ever tried AmmoSeek.com? They help you search the interweb for lowest prices.

I have to agree with the others, Mak ammo is cheaper. Of course, I don't see it at Walmart, though. I assume you want to convert, b/c the .380s are easier to find? Also, you're likely to damage the frame trying to remove the old barrel yourself. These blowback style pistols have the semi-permanently attached barrels, like Jonnin said. Seems like a lot of risk and extra cost (short-term and long-term), but it's your gun, so it's your call. I wish you luck however you decide to proceed.

Here's the results of my first attempt at loading lead bullets: I'd love to afford a Ransom rest to conduct better tests, but this is the best I could do resting on an upside down 5-gallon bucket. Think I have any keepers?

I love my Lee turret press. It does a fine job and is super easy to swap calibers. I don't think it's cheesey at all. However, I shoot a ton of 9mm and could never keep pace with my addiction without my Dillon 650. I wish Quickload was available for iPad. I watched some tutorials online and almost bought a laptop just to try it.

I wonder if this is a direct result of those "Occupy" idiots peeing/pooping all over the place and all the trouble it caused in several places? Regardless of their intent...it's a bad law!

I tend to get stuck on a brand or 2 that I like a lot. This limits my experience, but I know what I'm getting when I go back for 2nds. 1. CZ (P-01, Phantom, SP-01, Shadow, 52, 75B, 82) 2. Ruger (Mk II, SP101, GP100, SR1911, Single Six) 3. Glock (Gen4 17, Gen 3 34) 4. Kel-Tec(P-32, P3AT) 5. Hi-Point (C9) 999. Taurus (TCP) - only one I wouldn't recommend

While funny as hell, I hope this doesn't become a real issue for him. Last thing I want is criticism about something like this to shore up his base. His complete ignorance of economics and foreign policy should be enough to get his dumb a$$ removed.

Have you seen how mad dog mean a fat guy gets when he misses a meal? Then imagine how determined we'll be in a SHTF situation...just sayin'.

That one has some pretty cool added features, but I wouldn't pay $20, let alone $50. Those bracelets are just too easy to make to pay for. This is the coolest one I've seen in a while, though. If you haven't already seen them, there's some great videos on YouTube. Search for Stormdrane or TIAT, their videos are the best. Once you learn how the cobra weave works, you'll see how easily these added things can be added fairly easily/cheaply. The hardest part is probably drilling those tiny holes in the firestarter rod, LOL.

Sounds like you got some out of town takers, I'd be up for the carpool FOR SURE!

Sounds cool. Glad to hear you have more help than you need for a change. I just registered for the match this week. Can't wait. I'll look you up.

That sounds awesome, wish you were closer to Nashville.

Sadly, most of the folks I know on FB are family. If I tell them what I think of the crap some of them post, I'll get kicked off their Christmas card list.

Nice work wd-40! The snake looks like it's still alive. I really like the 300# boar too. I used to watch a TV show about a taxidermist in Alaska. Seemed like interesting work. Dumb question, sorry, ever been asked to do someone's pet? Seems creepy, but to each his own.

Interesting...I see them at the gun shows all the time and several internet knife sites will ship them here -no questions asked. Or so I've heard.

snakes, really?...this is so NOT what I was expecting to see Seriously though, nice snake. My dad earned his CB handle on Nat'l Guard duty by killing an 8' rattler with an entrenching tool. That same trip he won a CB radio in a raffle. He was known as Snake Man after that.

At least there's an up AND a down arrow here...Facebook really needs a "Dislike" button. How else are people gonna know they're idiots? Their friends aren't gonna tell 'em.

I like the 2nd choice! Very understated yet menacing. Looks bada$$! Ignoring the obvious don't ask don't tell possibilities, civies can't carry autos in TN, right?

Admittedly, most of my time was spent going back and forth between my tools and the mouse to be sure I didnt miss a step during reassembly. Guess I wasn't smart enough to print them out or study them before I started.

Despite the excellent explanations and first hand accounts, some still will insist that they won't do business with a company that charges a cc fee. It seems like you still don't get it. If the vendor accepts plastic and doesn't offer a cash discount, WE ARE ALL PAYING THE FEE. It's hidden in the price. Just because it isn't in your face, doesn't mean it isn't there.

Wow! Only 8 hours? The first time I completely disassembled mine was NOT my first time at the rodeo and it still took me that long or longer. You are now qualified to fix nuclear subs, automatic transmissions, and perform brain surgery.

That's more like it! Why do these internet sites think everything needs to ship UPS? Same thing happened to me on LA Police Gear. I wanted 2 patches totaling $10, but shipping was $15 more. NO WAY!

You still need RO's for the match? I could sure use another Glock, maybe a 36 this time. I'll be shooting the one I won last year at the match

What do they think these officers are going to do with the firearms that is so threatening?
