I understand that. It would be interesting if they would give reasons. Why 10? Why not 11 or 9?

If you take Miller's statement at face value the military or police don't need more than 10 rds because they aren't terrorists or gangsters. I'd also like to hear from Mr Miller why going from a 15 to a 10 rd limit is the answer. I am all for more education regarding firearms but can't agree making it mandatory for a Constutional Right. Would the next thing be a speech writing or public speaking course to exercise Freedom of Speech? How about a religion course before you practice the religion you choose? I disagree with Mr. Fiamingo regarding "free" training run by the state. If the state runs it it is not free. What may be a $50 course at a certified trainer becomes a $250 course when the state is paying for it with tax dollars, far from "free".

My daughter and I both have Stoeger Coach Guns. Mine for 8 years hers for 2. No issues with either.

I have a Taurus 1911 that's run 100% for about 7 years now. All the bells and whistles at a very affordable price.

The correct answer. Given the same gun, not a 1911 vs your M&P etc, most people will not shoot any better with 5" vs 4". Longer barrels magnify the wobble one has so it may slow you down. Shoot your 4" a few times in competition and see how you do against shooters with your same skill level. Now if you're looking for an excuse to buy another gun that's a different story.

If you're shooting IDPA and switching long term comfort isn't one of your majoe criteria. Pants do have a loop at 3 o'clock and that's good. You take your OWB holster, thread your belt through the back slot, through the pants loop, and thenthe front slot and your holster is really anchored.

This is correct. There is no magic in Windex or ammonia. Windex is mostly water and I don't think it contains ammonia anymore. BTW what most of us call ammonia is actually ammonium hydoxide or very simply ammonia (which is a gas) mixed with water. Household ammonia became known to clean guns because telling soldiers to keep their rifles dry then cleaning them with water seemed contradictory. Read the section on corrosive salts in Hatcher's Notebook. Testing proved nothing cleaned better than water. There is an article on surplusrifle.com where they tested cleaners on corrosive salts. Nothing cleaned as good as water. Hot water works better as the heat helps to dissolve the salts. A bit of soap or detergent helps holds the salts in suspension. If you don't have water, household ammonia or Hoppes #9 will work. Nothing is better than hot soapy water though.

BLF the thing that clued me in to you had a Model 10 not a 64 was the barrel length. The longest barrel S&W made the 64 was 4". Pencil barrel the firsr year (1972) and heavy barrel after that. However to my experience the 5" Model 10 is a rare bird as far as Model 10s go and if that's a factory nickel finish even rarer.

I never found a paddle holster that was comfortable or was as good as a belt holster for keeping the gun positioned. People would tell me they're great for being able to get your gun on and off. I put my gun on when I leave the house and take it off when my pants come off. How many times does one need to take their gun on and off?

I've seen the same thing happen with Garands.

Who is the guy who was raided by NJSP? If he has a C&R FFL all the guns he gets are either through a FPID and COE and/or a P2P in NJ. They are not purchased with his C&R so what would his bound book have to do with it? IIRC a C&R FFL is supposed to list C&R firearms he already possesses when he gets his C&R. That is a Federal reg not state. A C&R FFL is a 03 and most commercial FFLs are a 01. NJSP know this. What kind of mismatch can occur if you have a C&R in NJ. Nappen is a lawyer. If you ask a lawyer how to avoid legal trobule he will tell you don't do it even if you can. Ergo, Nappen's response when questioned about Type 03 FFLs.

I agree. I've been carrying for 40 years and never forget I'm armed or where I'm carrying (hip, shoulder holster, ankle, or pocket). I agree with Jeff Cooper who said if you're armed you should be in Condition Yellow. If you forget you're armed you probably shouldn't be carrying a gun as it may likely do you no good if you need it.

The Constitution clearly states "citizen" where it needs to be a citizen and "person" or "people" elsewhere. Outside of voting and office holding the Constitution has been recognized to apply to anyone in the US. I'm not saying non- citizens should vote or hold office.

I'm not saying you should run filthy brass in your sizer but if dirty brass scratches your carbide die it ain't carbide.

What about legal permanent resident aliens who are on the road to citizenship? Do you believe the Constitution is only for citizens? Some of your punishment ideas won't pass an 8A tesr.

Don't be surprised if the FFL charges you storage fees unless you tell him what you really want to do. Hewould likely charge you more but it would be cheaper than paying a few months of storage fees. A safe deposit box makes more sense and is probably cheaper.

The guns were your stepmother's to do what she wanted to with them. She gave them to your stepbrother. He had to get rid of them so he gave them to the uncle. Even if the uncle is a prohibited person I can't see how you can make any legal claim to any of them. It may suck but it is what it is and unless your stepmother and/or stepbrother want you to havw one of the guns you won't. Why would you think you have any legal claim to the guns?

I've been reloading for over 40 years. Many of those years I've loaded 10K a year and at least a few of them maybe not quite but close to 20K. I've never had a squib or blown up a gun with an overcharge with one of my loads. I've never blown up a primer feed. The worst accident I've had is pop off a couple of primers when I pressed too hard on a hand priming tool. I just can't dismiss an overcharge with "it's just bound to happen". True, with some things, there are those that have had it happen and those that it is going to happen to but powder charges in reloads isn't one of them. That's a topic for another thread. The problem with comparing what this overcharged load did to this gun and what that overcharged load did to that gun is this and that. What pressure was this round producing vs what pressure that round producing. Then we would have to see what one sample of that overcharged cartridge would do to different guns. The CIP standard for pistols, accepted in most of Europe, calls for two 30% overpressure rounds followed by a standard round. Due to differences there is no direct comparing of CIP and SAAMI standards. True there are more Glocks than other makes that have kaboomed due to sloppy reloading practices but there is a reason for this. There are more Glocks out there. Last I saw, 65% of LE agencies in the US use Glocks. This naturally produces a strong following among civilian shooters. I'm not saying you didn't see what you saw but there isn't enough info to draw a scientific conclusion. Now for the third time I ask where are those torture tests of S&Ws, SIGs, H&Ks, and all the rest? A glock may not fare that well when you load it with ridiculously overcharged ammo but it sure can take a lot of abuse when you run it on what it was designed for.

You're right. I stand corrected. S&W made the 10-6 in 357 for the NYSP about 1973. They made about 3000 of these, about half of them going to NYSP. IIRC these were marked 10-6 on the frame and 357 on the barrel. After the initial 3000, they catalogued it as the Model 13 and eventually in stainless as the Model 65. If you had one on these it would be a rare bird as far as Model 10s go and worth substantially more to a collector. Another not so common M10/64 is the 64 pencil barrel as they were only made the first year (1972) and all after with the heavy barrel. One exception to that is the 2" M64 which was made for several years. You don't see these often but when you do they are going for a little more than the more common 4" and 3" HB.

Not a special Model 10 but its a Model 13 (65 in stainless). They are good guns also but won't stand up to a steady diet of full magnums just like any other K frame S&W. The GP100 is a lot stronger than the K frame. The Ruger 6 series, although the same size as a K frame, is also stroner to my experience.

Not a religion. My experience is different. I never said all the rest were junk. Right now I'm carrying a S&W and a Walther. Undoubtedly if others could stand up to the torture testsGlocks have survived I'm sure someone would have published them. I have seen plenty of S&W K & J frames explode in my time. These were under controlled circumstances where the gun's functioning had been checked and the ammo was known. I still would carry one though. Exactly what were the circumstances when you saw a Glock explode? Not saying it didn't happen just would like to know the circumstances.

Everything isn't equal. Glock's durability and reliability are legendary. If any of the other handguns could stand up to the abuses Glock has demonstrated it can take I'm sure you'd see torture tests of S&Ws, H&Ks, SIGs, and all the rest. Remember the Border Patrolman who had the grip break off his H&K when he fell on it? My opinion of Glock is based on personally overseeing a couple of hundred of them and having updated knowledge of several thousand of them in use by the agency I worked for. If you throw out the rare bad magazine, I had one stop shooting because of poor maintenance and one where I had to replace the recoil spring and guide because the guide rod broke. The gun kept shooting with the broken guide rod and it was discovered when cleaning. Some of the tests in vladtepes link are a bit ridiculous but the gun kept running. That doesn't mean the rest are junk. If you're buying your first 9mm and want to last it should be a Glock. If you want the best all around size get the 19. JMO.

I never liked the support thumb forward grip as it requires you to use a different grip for a revolver. Long ago I adopted a grip where my support thumb is on top of my shooting hand thumb keeping it out of the way. I use the same grip for all types of handguns. As far as which is better, push/pull, 30/70, thumb forward, etc you need to find which works best for you. If its safe and you shoot well with it that's what you should use. There are lots of incorrect grips and several correct ones not just one as some may say. The same goes for finger placement on the trigger. Learn the "standard" methods and adjust from there.

It was S2735 in the last session introduced by Van Drew. It isn't law yet just a proposal.

As long as your employer says its okay I see no issues. You can have ammo with you but need to keep the rifle unloaded during transport.
