Getting rid of a serious flinch
Although there's not many of them, some people will flinch with a 22. The solution is one has to be mentally convinced recoil is going to happen and just let it happen. A consistent 3" low with a group could also be: Sight Alignment. Dots on the sights? Many mistakes align them. Trigger Control. Mashing the trigger will create a shooting low condition. @High Exposure brought out a very valid point. Using a DA revolver with a smooth pull. Smooth is more important than light. @Zeke if this doesn't work out let me know. I'll show up for your next session with the tools.

shady new pistol sale @BH!
Partly your friend's fault as one needs to check and see they're getting what was advertised. Complaining to the manager may help. It's a case of he said, he said so if your friend doesn't win there is little recourse.

Survival "Eats..."
Can't say I've ever eaten dog food but I have eaten Milk Bones after seeing Arthur Godfrey do it on tv.

Survival "Eats..."
Survival and your mental state are two different things.

Survival "Eats..."
You would eat all your survival rations out of boredom due to lack of discipline. One needs to be disciplined to survive. No matter how hungry you may be dogfood might make you vomit. Creates a extra concern for dehydration.

ruger p85 magazines
I have an 89 and a 95. They and the 85 take the same magazines. Mecgar makes 10s at a reasonable price. I bought some from Midway on sale. Search around. You can get them for less than the Mecgar website charges.

Retired/Active Duty LEO's - help me understand this...
Mutual assistance agreements for public services have existed from at least the mid 1970s to my personal knowledge. The legislature passed a law (1977?) which gave municipal police full police powers and immunities responding to crimes committed in their presence anywhere in the state.

Retired/Active Duty LEO's - help me understand this...
@Mrs. Peel smaller towns often share radio frequencies with am adjacent town or towns. There are also county wide and state wide police frequencies. I didn't look at the bordering towns but the town this happened in has a patrol division of 27 officers for its 10 square miles. They probably only have 3-5 of those officers on the streets at the time of the incident. The incident appears to have been called in as taking a report of suspicious activity that had occurred. Most likely one officer responded to the call. The suspect car went by as he was taking the report. I looked at a map and the distance from where the chase started to the Route 46 exit from I80 is about 2 miles. At 60 mph that takes 2 minutes. I'm sure that speed was exceeded. The short answer to your question is many police departments have fewer people on the street during late hours. That plus the fact they had maybe 2 minutes to coordinate "heading them off at the pass". A combination of officers available, officers close enough to get involved, and time. Hope this answers your question.

Is it worth saving $50 to buy new from private seller?
That $50 saving would be eaten up by transfer fees. Although having to pay sales tax on a new gun would add to it. The manufacturer's warranty comes into play too. Ruger, Taurus, and others will fix the gun free no matter how many have owned it. Some manufacturers only for the original owner.

When Common Sense Legislation Fails
Keep in mind the frame or receiver, the serialized part, is the firearm. If you have your guns completely disassembled it makes no difference if they aren't being properly transported. NJ gestapo? Have the police hurt your feelings in the past? Try dealing with police in your favorite socialist country.

If You’ve Always Wanted a Colt Python...
A lot of people think a Python is the best DA revolver made. I am not one of them. I've seen Pythons since the 70s. I remember when they were $200. A S&W Model 27 was $190. I saw several Pythons that has problems new from the factory. When you consider the numbers the Python problem rate was higher than S&W Model 10s (the most manufactured revolver). If you have a 3 1/2" Model.27 S&W I can be suckered into a ridiculous price!!!!!

switching over to 9mm
FWIW studies showed that only about 20% of infantrymen in WW2 fired their rifles in combat. The mental aspects of combat are the toughest. That's why training for SEALs, SF, Rangers, Pararescue, Delta and other Special Operators focus more on the mental than physical aspects. Yes, you have to be in great physical condition to complete this training but many who are in top notch physical shape drop out or get washed out. Then LTC Charles Beckwith started Delta he adopted about the same selection course the SAS use. The SAS Regimental commander came to Ft Bragg to help Bechwith. Beckwith asked him why this selection course of complex land navigation problems and long force marches weeded out the right soldiers for the SAS. His response? "I don't know why but it's been working for almost 50 years". Shooting ability is a very small part of fighting.
