How many rounds can you load per hour?
RCBS lock out die for the win. I load about 400 an hour with various stoppages to refill primer tubes and all, with case feeder on lnl. Separate seat/crimp, 5 stations. Resize, powder through expander, lock out die, seat, crimp.

Serious question about CCW training...
Voted. I am for a required class to attend, however with no pass/fail, if you can't show up, then it was not that important to you.

Yet again a new requirement for PP's/FID
the way I see it... they verify employement... now... Option 1. You hand in a copy of your paystub with all personal income stuff blacked out, only showing that you work there and be done with it. You deal with the fact that it is one extra form that you need to hand in, which while illegal, does help speed up the process and does not get you unwanted attention at work. Option 2. You tell them to pound sand as handing in a pay stub is not required. Your Pd will then send out a letter or call your boss to verify employment. Even if they say they are only verifying employment, do you really want someone from the police department, calling your boss, at work, to ask about you. There is a difference between being right, and being effective. This is one of those cases. I would rather be effective and choose option 1.

First Purchased Handgun
If there is a small gap the thickness of a credit card, dont see an issue. Are you loading a full mag on a closed slide? is it wobbling in place? stay in place?

Bass Pro Shop in GA No Sale to NJ
Legally, you can purchase, might be store policy. (unless there is some GA law that prevents this)

Caliber question
Remi and Westinghouse made Mosins for Russian civil war. =) The two I am still looking to find in good condition. Canada made high powers too.

Caliber question
Wow, did not know about Ford making Jeeps. I knew about Eastman Kodak making grenades iirc.

Caliber question
... and some calibers are solutions to problems that never existed.... 45 GAP. Created by Glock to pack 45 stopping power into a medium frame. Too bad Glock was the only one suffering from it, and other 45's mostly had thinner/smaller frames than the Glock Large Frame guns. (45 ACP/10mm)

Caliber question
7.62x51 ok in 308 win but not the other way around

Caliber question
9mm, 45, 38 refer to bullet diameter, you still have different cases. 9mm typically refers to 9mm luger aka 9x19, but there is also 9x17, 9x18 Makarov, 9x20, etc.

Company says the gun I want is illegal??
They used to be 15 round mags, then cz figured out how to stuff one more round in the mag for 16 rounds now being standard. You can buy 15 round mags from cz, just have to find them. Ctd does not ship handguns to NJ as someone else pointed out. Don't forget to add shipping, transfer, nice, tax to the purchase price of anything online. Where do you live? When did you do the price request, if north jersey, we added 2 vendors up there recently, might want to try again.

Cheaperthandirt--experiences?
Cheaper than dirt is a bunch of douchebags. Many will know them as More Expensive Than Sh*t. A year ago or so, when there was the ammo crunch, CTD was raping people with ridiculous prices, charging $30 for a box of 9mm.
-
Company says the gun I want is illegal??
Nothing illegal about the CZ 85. If it comes with 15 round mags or less, no issues. Stop wasting your time with buying from CTD, use the firearms price request feature here on the forum, get in touch with a dealer and they will get you the gun and provide the service.

USPSA @ Old Bridge 11/27/11
Is this true? He is finally making it to one event?

Shot an M&P 9...
The stock trigger of the m&p is a little gritty, especially on the older models. $100 parts kit from Apex makes your trigger either a sweet 2.5 lb competition trigger, or a 5 lb duty trigger. Clean, shorter reset, almost non-striker fired feel, and leaps ahead of any Glock trigger.

USPSA @ Old Bridge 11/27/11
It is normal. The application is sent to USPSA along with the classifier scores. Once received, it takes a few weeks to get your number. OB was a little behind last month submitting scores, and thus why the wait. When you go to the match, just tell them/pre-register and in the number box, select "pending". All uspsa scores will be matched up to you once the number is established by USPSA.

1911 problem/question
I meant to change out all the springs. Detail stripping a 1911 is one of the easier if not easiest guns. No tiny parts, and everything meant to work. This is not a CZ or anything else with a bazillion tiny pieces. Extractor/spring, and all else, cheap and easy, ensures reliability.

1911 problem/question
How used? Change out the springs on the gun as you should anyway. Don't know how many thousands of rounds the previous owners had.

EEA Witness Combo 45/22 or 9/22
Is the last round bolt hold open really that important to you? Your other options are 1911 clones, such as Browning 1911-22.
