North meets Central meets South!
Go to public land wheree people put up their vote for (enter crook's...errr... I mean politician's name here) signs and use them. They stick in the ground easily and are abundant. Just take them all so you're not appearing biased.

Anyone else here love the smell of.....

Spike's Tactical ST-15 Mid-Length LE
You're right Pete. I misread that description. It is a poly chrome steel barrel with chrome lining. I know you can use heavier bullets in the 1 in 7" twist. Are you still able to use 55 grain ammo?

First an AR then a Glock... Our intrepid leader is losing it!

Spike's Tactical ST-15 Mid-Length LE
I prefer a chrome lined barrel to a chrome moly one. It's more resistant to corrosion and has a longer wear life. More info here. I prefer the 15/20 configuration for shooting from a bench. You'd need a real high sandbag or rest to have enough clearance for the bottom of the magazine not to hit the bench. 15/30 is good if you want to put them in a tactical vest as most have pouches for a 30 rd mag. The 20 tends to get lost and slide to the bottom making it difficult to perform a quick mag swap.

Finally bought 1st Hand Gun
Maybe it says unjamming in your PX4 manual. It's just a cleaning rod when it's a Beretta 92. Edit: It's a 90-two. Hmm maybe it is an unjamming rod. I'm just kidding. Congrats on the new purchase.

Officer cleared in fatal shooting during January traffic stop
Yea too much force when someone sticks a .41 magnum(?) out the window at you and fires at your face. That should have taken 3 minutes to decide and not 3 months. Why was it a jury of 6 women? Prosecutor loading the jury for a guilty verdict? I'll never understand the jury selection process...

my 3 PP & FID are in!
I have a Glock 22 in .40s&w and it has a lot of recoil. If you're looking for a compact try out the Glock 19. It's the gun I should have bought. I also like the XD service. It has a 4" barrel like the Glock 19. Just make sure you shoot the model you're looking at before you buy it. Mods this thread should be moved out of bucket 3.

5.56 15 round mags
If it says 30 on the side it holds 30 though. EDIT: I just had an epiphany! I have the same problem with the magazines getting lost. I'm going to get some sort of foam to put in the mag pouchso they dont slide in all the way.

springfield xdm
The XDm in .45 is sweeeeeet. Very little recoil. I'd rather have 10 huge bullets than 15 medium sized ones.

Some one elses gun
You can transport it, but you can't use it at the range. She has to be there for a temporary transfer. Already covered here: Read here

As a new pistol owner, what do I need?
They make safety glasses with a plastic frame & plastic lenses. They must be cheaper as my employer has switched to these instead of traditional wire framed ones. Plugs are good, but(with rubber reusable plugs)if you start to sweat & it gets in your ear it lowers the noise reduction somehow (they don't seem to fit as well). I prefer muffs for pistol shooting. Cleaning supplies recommended: Solvent (I like Hoppes 9) Appropriate sized cotton cleaning patches (9mm, .45, .357, etc.) Nylon Brush (I get tooth brushes from Costco) Gun Oil (Hoppes, Slip 2000, etc.) Silicon Cloth to wipe down firearm (I like Kleen Bore) Appropriately sized cleaning rod, jag, and bronze brush. Like previously stated Hoppes makes a felt rubber lined mat for cleaning. You could just put newspaper down just don't do it on nice furniture.

Bi-Weekly meetup at Bullet Hole
Oddly enough I have problems getting a spot when I get there early. Ray Ray shows up at his normal time and always gets a spot. Go figure. I'll be there for 6:30 perhaps with a coworker.

Cherry Ridge Meetup 10/10
Matt I expect some deer jerky. Thanks to Malsua, 67GTOnut, dpas1973, and Old School(brief guest appearance) for coming out. Thanks Malsua for bringing the H&K. That P30 fits my hand nice, but I seemed to be dropping my shots for some reason dpas thanks for letting me shoot your collection. I might be a .45 convert yet! Although I'm getting better with that Walther P22. Some minimags and an ankle holster will be good for a backup to my backup's backup. :ph34r:

Cherry Ridge Meetup 10/10
So far: ChrisJM981 Malsua 67GTOnut imperialfish (maybe) dpas1973 I'll be at the pistol range for 9-9:30 with my white NJGF shirt on. It's going to be cold early AM so dress appropriately! There is a frost advisory till 8am. After making your first left and you go down the hill the towards the range the next left is for the parking area. There is a gravel road just past that entrance between the lot and the range. Take that road and it brings you to the pistol area. we'll be all the way down on the left.

UltraMax sucks
Ray it's a Kel-Tec what did you expect? I'm glad you didn't shoot it through the Glock though.

My 2nd best catch of the season.
Now why didn't I think of that! Great idea Matt. Is it too late in the year to go fishing? Maybe a late spring trip?

At this point I'm not. I may have family stuff to do so I might not make it to trap afterwards. Anybody who can't make it I will be there the 30th for the whole day. I'm bringing the gf as well so we can sign in non-members.
