Taurus Millenium Pro in .45ACP?
I am not familiar with that pistol, but I would be leary about using a Taurus as my primary or CCW Pistol. Their QC is hit or miss( but the people who sent their lemons back to Taurus received them back in good workig order ), and their CS people suck to deal with( from experience )As a range gun sure, but I would no go Taurus if my life depended on it.

Sorry Mark, a brick to the head is not considered Deadly in California. Remember Reginald Denny?

Revolver Cleaning
DO NOT USE LEAD AWAY ON BLUED GUNS. It will remove the finish. After a good shooting session, revolvers just require some elbo grease.

SXP or Double Defense or 887
A SxS is a viable HD gun. I don't particulary care for the Tactical Double, but hey, it's your money.

Ammo in Vehicle
During hunting season my ammo never leaves my truck. There have been times where I find a box or two when cleaning out the fishing stuff for the next hunting season.

Introducing kids to shooting sports
One thing I fogot was to keep it fun. As I wrote, I never force them to shoot. And when they are shooting and want to stop I let them. Being tired will promote bad habits and forcing them may make them not want to do it. Ken feel free to call me if you have any other questions.

Introducing kids to shooting sports
Ken, I started when my kids were old enough to see introducing the to my guns. As they got bigger I let them hold them and kept repeating the 4 rules of safety. Whenever thay ask we would go to the vault and I'd let them pick whatever they want to look at. There was no mystery and it built up a familiararity with guns. I set up a small airgun range in the basement with a trap to practice on. as they got bigger i started taking them to the range and shooting 22's. I also let each kid pick out a single shot and we painted it custom for them. I never forced them to shoot and let them do it on their own terms. For a while they wanted to go every week, then they wane off a little. Indoor ranges can be scary for kids too with louder noises and rifle fire. When I set up targets I get the biggest one I can find, run it out 10 feet and turned it around with a clean side. I put a 4 in cirle for an aiming point, but at that close range the kids could not miss. As they got better I moved it out further. Two months ago Cody was hitting 4 oz juice bottles at 25 yds with his new 22, open sights, off a rest. I also let them shoot my scoped 22's just to give them a little taste of what is to come. Neither of my kids can wink, so I tape off one side of their glasses so there is no eye strain til they get use to it. If they can't wink as they get older, they will know the basic fundamentals of shooting and I will teach them 2 eyes open. I tried to make it as easy as possible for them to start, build their interest and teach them more as they get older.

Alcohol worse than heroin and crack
Unfortunaltely we have that now. That will never change. Some people will act responsably and some will not. The US War on Drugs is a sham and does not work. It only fills the jails with petty offenders.

Corrosive Ammo -not good
Did you clean the water out and oil it when you were done? I shoot corrosive with no problems.

North meets Central meets South!
No, the pistol brass. The 308 brass goes in my scrap bucket. Then of course he had all that commie crap too. I left that for Grumpy.
