Were You Surprised
Yeah @JohnnyB but I have short fingers. The hand and finger muscles were developed long ago in my teens (like 100 years ago) when I was doing Karate and Gung Fu. Helped me learning how to shoot.

Now that shooting has become so expensive
Boats are for people who like to do things you need a boat for. If you like Fishing, SCUBA diving, or cruising you need a boat. It's an expense you take on for what you like to do. Like ammo and guns for shooting, clubs and green fees for golf, airplanes and maintenance for flying (that really gets expensive). When I was doing a lot of wreck diving in the old days I couldn't do that without a boat. It also gave me overnight accommodations so I could go diving Friday after work and Saturday and Sunday. It worked for me. A friend had a double ender sailboat to cruise the Caribbean for a couple of years after he retired. It worked for him. Most people buy too much boat and spend a lot more than they need to.

@JohnnyB I've exclusively used std CCI srp in 223 for over 45 years. Nothing else. NEVER ANY PROBLEM. Do what @CAL. .30 M1 says. I've always hand primed.

I've always carried factory loads. However if they're getting in to what ammo you used you've got bigger worries.- Were You Surprised
Saw it coming. Been stocked since 1992.- Colt Bought by Czechs
I was at the Colt factory in the 90s. Impressive building from the outside. The factory floor looked like it was from the Civil War. Plus the Teamsters Union represented the workers. So unlike the S&W factory I visited about the same time. S&W had diversified and was producing among other things police bicycles and premium golf club heads. Colt was trying to survive back in the 90s but was dying. I'm surprised they lasted so long.- Colt Bought by Czechs

I started dealing with Jim Flynn about 25 years ago. Great guy, good prices. I wish I lived closer so I could deal with him more often.. If he sold it I'd be pretty confident its okay. He doesn't sell crap. My only concern about shooting it in a Glock is it needs to be jacketed or plated. Lead bullets are bad for a Glock or ant polygonal rifled barrel. Don't let the mixed headstamps bother you. Very common with commercial reloaded ammo.- Jim Flynn’s truck repair reman/ reload Ammo quality
Yes they do. I remember seeing them in East Berlin. Plume of white smoke from the exhaust. They also had a plastic body- Personal Ammo Inventory

I agree with you. Most people should make no statement to the police. Once you ask for a lawyer the police should not question you. Contrary to what many will tell you, you don't need a "gun lawyer". You need a good criminal defense lawyer. A "gun lawyer" is what you need for technical issues. Is this a muzzle brake or a flash suppressor? I remember seeing a video by Masaad Ayoob about what to say after a shooting. Yes, he said there were some things you could say without admitting you shot the bad guy which will start to establish your justification for the shooting. Most people haven't don't prepare themselves enough to do this. I'll post a link if I can find it. Another suggestion is tell the police you need to go to hospital.

I agree the Democrats realize the dangerous precedent if they pack SCOTUS. I think many of the Biden "voters" will pull their head out the the orifice where the sun never shines in 2 years.- Who can legally use a firearm?
These are the correct answers. Do you think any prosecutor would charge someone for preventing someone from killing them? Do you think a prosecutor would pursue a case where someone used somebody else's gun to shoot someone that was going to kill them? Okay NJ is one of the worst states for gun laws. We all know that. However, show me a case where someone is charged with an illegal transfer for saving their life with someone else's gun. There are too many people perpetuating the myth you will be charged in NJ no matter what.- NJ Gun Laws strike again...

I was not impressed by the people working the counter. iIrc correctly, a woman has the FFL there. She wasn't there when I encounter the buffoons behind the counter.- Ruger Mini-14
I've had always had a Mini 14 around for over 40 years. Before the late 70s if one wanted a military style semiautomatic rifle you had 3 choices. The Mini 14, Colt AR15, or M1A. I bought my first in the middle 70s for about $160, about half the price of an AR15 at the time. I see it as a modern version of a M1 Carbine using a more effective round. We had them a work back in the 80s and 90s so I probably shot a few dozen of them. Never saw one that couldn't shoot 3-4" at 100 yards.- Budget Bolt Actions
BTW, I shot a 0.6" group with that rifle a year ago with Federal 149gr fmj. - Legal self defense ammo in the home
