Scott, we will not tire of your questions, that is why we are here.

I like this, esecially your points on being respectful and curteous. Name calling will not get us anywhere. I will have to look into it more.

Good points and well put. If we all could get one person to apply it would start snowballing.

Welcome, in Nj we are great at taxes and laws.

What are Big Boy Rules?

I load any brass I find with the following exceptions, CCI Blazer Aluminum, Wolf Steel, and Amerc. The Amerc is very inconsistent in its dimensions.

Of course I would, but I am not shelling out that much money for a press. The LCT is perfect for what I need and an upgrade over my single stage.

If I was spending the money on a Dillon for rifle loading it would be the 650. I would prefer the auto indexing over manual. I use the dillon powder measures for all of my pistol ammo and they work fine. I throw everything form 2.8 gr to 22 gr accurately and consistantly. I use ball powder and Trail Boss. No problems at all. For rifle I use a single stage still and a Uniflow Powder mearure with stick powder, which some have said is a no no. You have shot my loads, how did they perform? You will not notice a difference in .2 gr of fluctuation when you are loading 40+ gr in a round. At least I can't. My next press will be a Lee Classic Turret for loading rifle on.

I wish that was my backyard. Deer is good eating. I stopped deer huntig because all I can hunt is public land and I can't put up with the public anymore for deer. I stick with Pheasant and stay away from the crowd so no one shoots my dog. It's amazing how inconciterate some hunters are. All they care about is making their kill and the hell with anyone else. It seems the ethics that once prevailed in hunters went the same direction as their driving courtesy.

There are 2 kits. One for 45 acp pistols and the other for 9mm/40S&W/45GAP since they all have the same frame size. My wife hated shooting the XD until I did the trigger job. When she shot it afterward she would not put it down. I makes a huge diference.

I have no use for an idiot that takes a minor incident and elevates it up to this level. All he managed to do was create calls for stricter firearm's licensing in the state. +1

Very nice, I have the 40 tactical. If you want a nice upgrade look at the Springer Precision trigger kit. Takes the slop out of the trigger. very little pre travel, crisp clean break and no overtravel if done right. Easy to do if you are handy with a file.

I have heard this before with gunshops and "gun experts". But the truth is Taurus sells alot of firarms and not just revolvers. They come out with new and innovative stuff and have taken the lead in the "cool factor" in firearms. From the Judge and Public defender revolvers, to the lightest 380 in the market, and to using metals and materials not used before, and having priced them all at a point where anyone can afford them. Like them or not, they continue to sell and they ain't goin nowhere for a while. I am not debating their place in the market or the fact they have some firearms that are pretty cool looking. I am by no stretch a Gun Expert, I have had experiences that would preclude me from buying a Taurus. I had an issue with a brand new HK years back, sent it to them, 2 weeks later it was back and worked great. All companies have lemons. It is the response you get when you try to get them fixed that builds loyalty. And I have not been impressed by personal experiences I have had that coincide with other bad experiences I have read about.

It is a scaled down version of one. Not an exact copy shrunk down but similar.

The XD is a great pistol. All Manufacturers have an issue now and then. The thing that sets them apart is how they deal with the problems when they arise. Springfield does a great job with CS.

Stupid thing to do,yes but, how many of us have wanted to do something similar to the New Yorker who cuts you off and then gives you the finger. Even if it is ripping them out of their car and smacking their head on their fender. Common sense and a healthy fear of Bubba keeps us from doing it, but it would be fun. Something to make them think they are not the only people on the road. they will think twice the next time.

Congratulations, they have always teated me well too.

Taurus in my experience has been hit or miss on QC. Some work great, others suck. And their customer service is horrible. I was repairing a pistol for a friend and after one phone call to Taurus I knew I would never buy one. By the 3rd call after recieving the wrong parts it was confirmed. I will not buy a Taurus.

The 380 was a Colt Mustang. Sig makes a copy of it now with Sigs own flare added to it. It was and is still made in 38 super and one custom maker still does 38 special 1911's. I want one of those. JMB had several autoloaders under his belt before he made the 1911. 1911's are great to shoot, ask any questions you want I am sure we will be able to answer them. Anytime you see I am going to BA feel free to let me know if you want to show up I will bring one or two for you to shoot.

A 357 will kick more than a 45 especially in a snubbie. But recoil is subjective.

Very expensive ammo.

Was it Simon Peter?

Howell has always been very gun friendly and getting permits done quickly. I have not applied recently though. I will be this week.

My opinion is a New or Used Ruger or a Used pre lock 686. I would not buy a new 686 with a lock. The Smith will have a better trigger. With either one you can not go wrong.

Maks you are like a kid in a candy shop. It was a very nice shooter.
