The XM thing is a federal thing, and no it doesn't mean it was rejected. It means it was overrun. I.e. it is not contract ammo and does not have to be pulled down and sold as components to be sold. PD is another matter. I haven't seen PD stuff in FOREVER, and when I had, there were some people having some odd issues with it. Last time I saw any was maybe 2004? Like I said, a while.

Primer depth should be just below flush. Also, alliant load data says 1.125 oal and a charge of 5.8 for 1180 out of a 4" barrel. Coming down 2 grains and adding more than a tenth to oal probably has you going really slow. My guess is high primers and the slide short stroking. Possibly with some help from the shooter, but my guess is you are down around 90pf. With my m&p .40, 115 is where things got sketchy with ejection and extraction. Anything resembling less than a rock solid grip and fte of some sort.

Sure there is. Build it yourself. I've assembled all my uppers and lowers myself. I visually inspect and give the bcg a squirt of oil when I put it away. They get cleaned when they need it, or if I've been shooting in the rain. Which might be why I like having a tool to scrape out the carrier quickly and easily.

Also, the gss is about 90 minutes long. I did a Gallup survey with a similar length to the gun ownership questions, and it is still a good 20 minutes of your time. Regardless of the topic, I'm going to guess employed people with kids are under represented in responses. Just saying.

I'm wondering how they do the gas system. The p7 was gas delayed, and it could get quite hot. Not sure that combined with polymer is a great idea.

I've got the cat m-4 and the Otis bone. My vote goes to the bone as of the three things they both clean, the one that matters most is cleaning the carrier, and it does that better than the m-4. It's also cheaper. Do you need one? No. But it's easier to pack with your gear for the range, and at home it's faster than chemicals and a brush.

I'm curious how the store owner can be so clueless. How did he not see that one coming.

And that's fine as long as the charge isn't so small the flash hole is exposed when horizontal. That, in theory, can cause flash over. I've used tac, which leaves a little room, and Varget which is a compressed load, so zero empty space.

It's less bad than I imagined, but not as good as I suspect it needs to be to be able to say that you can't do an apples to apples comparison anymore.

I don't see priemrs on the website, just primed brass. Primed brass is ORM-D and not hazmat.

Link to said commentary, because your short hand isn't doing anything good for me.

It's essentially the same case in terms of the legal question it presents. IMO it means that the court regard peruta as their current opinion and the appropriate vehicle for any dissent or challenge to that opinion. I don't think the AG is going to get to say "no you need to listen to me now that I ignored you!!" and have the court give a crap. What is going to have to happen is a member of the court eligible to call for an en banc trial will have to either stand up and claim the legal reasoning in the case is fundamentally flawed, or stand up and play politics from the bench despite the reasoning being legally sound. IMO it was also the judges basically double dog daring those that can to get any politics playing over with ASAP, that the extension to the en banc window of opportunity was to appear equitable and fair minded so they couldn't be accused of railroading something that the court didn't actually support through, and we are now in the phase of waiting for someone to jump. I'll also put some outside money on the court being right pissed with the AG's behavior, and all this may be the equivalent to them basically saying "you hear that silence? That's the sound of go F yourself. Remember that the next time you decide you don't want to answer our invitation." Or I might be reading too much between the lines.

Same.

I've held that opinion since the AG submitted it. When the court urges you to be in on the lawsuit multiple times and you tell them to go scratch, they usually don't want to hear from you again.

They could do complex tracking stuff, but they likely don't when you click al ink on a page, the page it takes you to is told what url you arrived there from. So at the very least, copy and paste.

Because he's degrading rapidly. I'll even make this shooting related. In trying to figure out how to get better at USPSA, one of the bits of information I came across is that your reflexes max out around 40 (give or take a couple years depending on subject). That's your peak in general, and more specifically in visually coordinated reaction time. When it comes to "but wait, I've seen old dudes improve at shooting fast and getting hits," the answer is how close are you to your maximum capability or making maximal demands on your reflexes. The answer for most people is not very close. Is suspect for a high quality NHL goalie, the answer is damn close to the limit every day you go to work. Why has Marty been getting injured so much? Probably because he is pushing it physically to try and outrun an increasing shortcoming that is neurological, and a normal part of aging. Add the injuries to the reflexes, and you have a real issue. He is going to get hurt more and perform less. IMO, I think he would be stupid to try to eek out another season or two with waning stats (or worse, more than that becoming cheap roster filler if he persists too long), than to take the devils up oin their back office exit strategy for him.

Uhh ok. Maybe I buy different underwear or pants or something, but I can safely say that for the entirety of my adult life, the uh.. frontal underwear escape hatch... has never really lined up with the zipper reasonably well, and given that, exiting past the mini saws that are zippers seems ill advised. Not to mention depending on the button fly in question, you can not undo the top button as well, and skip the abrasive surfaces in your wang-juggling endeavors. Note: Being a bit over 6'6" and having been over 6' since about 8th grade, there are decent odds I wear different clothes that fit differently than most folks who make up these rules.

I know what they are. I'm not seeing why they are Ccw unfriendly.

OK, I never heard the button fly jeans thing, anyone care to explain?

Sounds like it is compliant.

I somehow missed that one. For anyone else who did. I love how they say LEO are dying in droves. 50-60 a year? Really, that's your excuse? I'm all for someone is trying to kill you, kill them right back, but some of those targets have shoot through situations with small children. http://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/high-tide-and-turn/2013/feb/28/dhs-training-practice-targets-featuring-children-p/

That is confusing. So they extended the period to request en banc to the due date that already existed to request an en banc rehearing? Even so, I don't see how that extends the deadline. Near as I can tell, it just means these requests weren't dead on the 27th? Anyone have a good explantation of the wrangling?

gray is the new FDE. According to shot show attendees there will be a lot of gray out there soon.

There is one. It is 3-6-14. That is simultaneously the last day for the 9th circuit judges to call for a vote, and the date they are required to issue a mandate to the district court to issue the binding order on the county. So if we hear no news on 3-6, on 3-7 we should be done with the issue. If by 3-6 the court holds an en banc vote, we have until that comes back to know if there is a round two. I have no idea if they can do this on 3-6 and not conclude the vote until a later date.

Well viewing various statements on it, I read one that made some sense, whihc stated that 1195 were the number of permits issued for the year in question. Add up LEO retirees, the special folk and cronies, and armed guards and armored car drivers, and it sounds like that might make sense.
