bumpyti bump.

And at one point, CZ's were never heard of, the XD was a Croatian gun that was never heard of either. It is a CZ clone, hard to mess it up. =) Really really nice guns. I hope they are at media day. They are imported by EAA.

Bryan, will see what kind of deals can line up at shot show. I know extreme plated bullets were there, and Barrys.... but I would love to try extreme... i think I got some samples from last year.

Played with it last year at shot show. Plus, it is a cz clone. Military issued in turkey. I would buy it.

corrected. =P

Its a hammer that someone had fun with, was melted.

The FNP is a great handgun, but was not the 45 of choice for me. The gun is big. big, big, and hence why it takes 15 rounds of 45. For someone with smaller hands, and being that I like to have as high of a grip as possible on a gun, the safety was getting in the way of my thumb. The HK45 has much better ergonomics, even though the safety still sticks into the thumb. My two alternatives would be... S&W M&P 45 - Awesome handgun to fire, awesome ergonomics. AWESOME gun, and recoil was as smooth and managable as the hk 45. Sarsilmaz K2 45 - All metal, CZ based, hi cap 45. Best of all, totally amazing ergonomics, and 14 or 15 rounds of 45. better yet, the price. Sub $500.

no no, you dont. If target is close, and you go for headshot.... the angle of it, will hit the ceiling, and not the backstop. =)

PS, if your mosin is a POS.... please just give me the gun and give it a good home.

1. you were shooting a mosin nagant at an indoor range. i would not allow it personally, as most of the backstops are not rated for some ammo, including if you were shooting mil surplus ammo, it is 50/50 if it was hard ball steel core. 2. You were shooting a mosin indoor at a 23 yard range.... how was away was the target? 3. If you take headshots at a target close to you, the bullet does not then after magically hitting paper,, turns direction and go into the back berm. I would stop posting..... right now.

The USA is a crappy corporation with a crappy CEO. =P I think the USA is being run like a non for profit.... straight into the ground.

Personally, in my own FTF transactions, I keep a copy of the person's DL if I do not know them, and a bill of sale. CYA.

Probably. I have never been there. Just Ask.

Please name those owners and have them come here. Secondly, please start using proper English. Your Ghetto/Bonics is starting to hurt me. However, since you are an expert at presses, please name 5 ways the Dillon 650 is better than the Hornady Lock n Load AP, and state some of the problems the press has. The whole point of this thread was to inform someone of a great deal on the press, no one was asking for your comments, however since you replied adding your "expertise," please do share it oh wise one. Here is why I prefer the Hornady Press, over the comparable dillon 550/650. 1. I would hate to waste money on a warranty for myself and every press owner after me, as Dillon builds the warranty work into their prices. The Price of a 650 scares me, and quite frankly, the 550 is not equivalent to the AP. 2. The 550 does not have auto index, you have to go out to 650 to do so. Means more money. 3. Prefer buying the lock n load bushings over an extra toolhead. Shell plates and bushings are also cheaper. 4. Alot faster to change over the lock n load ap from small pistol to large pistol, vice versa. 5. Faster to change over the press from caliber to caliber. 6. Hornady is faster and easier to clean up when you miss a primer. Just pop the shell plate off and wipe off. No primers anywhere near there. 7. Case retention... Hornady uses a spring, instead of stupid little pin buttons that can get lost with each caliber. 8. Smoother to operate, requires less force. So what do you have? Besides.... "Its a dillon, and my friends switched over from hornady to dillon, so hornady must be a pos"

Mikey, That is a part of it, but those are just the extras, there really is a concern for sparking. I would venture to guess, insurance might have a say about it too. I know out in Vegas, I visited a range, and they had sticky pads on the range, when you exist, to trap all the unburned gun powder. Recently read about static electricity blowing up a full primer tube there too.

The other thing being, if your license is clean, the first two points typically do not count.... or go take a defensive driving course, and get the 3? points knocked off.

My mistake, was thinking MFS ammo. =) MFS, herters, etc. RWS is swiss and good stuff.

unburned powder on the ground, aluminum came falling and sparking. google it. bigger issue in dry areas. RWS is made in same place there, mediocre ammo.

Two things with S&B and Wolf ammo. Aluminum cased stuff has potential to spark. S&B ammo and some older packaged mil surp stuff, alot of it is steel core, or iron, with a very thin copper jacket (labeled bimetal), it will very easily tear up the backstop, and as a result, is not allowed at many ranges.

Yes.... Dillon stuff never breaks, and does not have any issues. The guy may be upgrading to a Dillon 1050, but no way anyone would go from a Lock n Load to a 650. No reason to. I have thousands of trouble free rounds through my AP, and no issues that were caused by the press or design, only my mistakes. Try the press yourself before making ignorant comments. Btw, Dillon just put in a price increase. Don't get me wrong, dillon makes good stuff, but it is wayyyy more than equivalents from others.

Yep, noticed it too. Loads should be the same, PD and MG. I have been using PD for 40 cal for the past 3k rounds, and all are extremely accurate, no issues.

One click and I get... "nwrknj.east.verizon.net" A few more clicks and I can get the city.... but too damn tired to do. Its pretty funny, if you use google search, gmail, facebook, yahoo, youtube.... they can come up with a very intelligent profile about you. Maybe it is the naivety in this country, or growing up in the soviet union.... but that is how intelligence is gathered. There is nothing private short of you doing your thing in the bedroom. If you are not doing anything to stick out, nothing to worry about, if anyone really worried, move to the boonies or a third world country and live off of the land. Anyone seen how detailed the photos are on google maps or better yet MS Bing?

Who cares? If you put out something in the public domain, are you really that surprised that someone has a copy? Government have always spied on people, the only reason you are hearing about it now is because of open access to many records. As far as facebook comments and people getting in trouble? Seriously? You make a public post to all your friends, and their friends, and the public to see, and you don't expect your boss to? When I was a manager at Ameriprise and helped hire at UBS, we would do a social media check on every candidate we were going to bring in for an interview. 1. Google the email address and phone number, then name. 2. Facebook search the person. Google is a better search than any criminal background check. =) Some of these people, wow. =)

Here is the question.... why are you so set on... 1. 45 ACP? 2. 1911/P220? How about stating what you want the handgun for? I have smaller hands myself, and what you will find is that there is more to overall comfort than just a thin grip.
