HD Shotgun Pump VS Semi
Anyone who relies on the menacing sound of a shotgun slide racking or the cocking of a revolver hammer is someone who is not prepared to deal with a home intruder. Have your shot ready, and the gun will take care of the scaring if the intruder is one not looking to get shot. The last thing you need to be worrying about is performing any kind of fast, desperate action before you have to pull a trigger.

Cherry Ridge vs. Range 14
Great suggestion. Free beats all.

Cherry Ridge vs. Range 14
You can only shoot at paper at Cherry Ridge if shooting centerfire. That's a deal breaker for me.

Primary arms micro red dots
In that case, my advice would be to do without an optic for however long you have to save up for a quality one. It will give you the opportunity to get good with iron sights. You should be able to hit man sized targets at 300 yards (or further) Don't let your optic become an impediment to becoming a good shooter. Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Tapatalk 2

Baby Eagle vs. Beretta M9
If you are looking for full size metal framed 9mm, check out the CZ75_B. It is a tried and tested design, and IMO the ergos are better than the M9/92FS especially in the grip. And I hate slide mounted safeties like on the Beretta because my thumb can't reach it and it works opposite to most other guns (i.e. up is live, down is safe).

Handgun caliber lever action for wife?
A short barrel carbine is perfect for home defense. I think people probably meant that 44mag is not a good home defense caliber. In most configurations, it has enough momentum to go through bad guys, walls, and can ultimately end up who-knows-where before it has expended all its energy. 44 Special might be a better choice for that job. I have a 357 Rossi M92 and love it. 9 rounds of 125grain JHP is formidable.

how DO you measure flake powder
I don't have problems with Blue Dot in my Dillon 550B. I do check every 10 rounds though to make sure the throw is consistent since it's a flake powder. To me, it just means I can't make top end loads with them for fear of exceeding safe limits. I used to have the same problem with 800X in 10mm. If you want extremely precise loads for consistency or maximum power, do each case b do each case by hand.

Your Favorite Whisky?
Not a fan of Old Laphroig. Tastes like a bottle of smoke. Love the Powers Irish whiskey.

ALERT!!!! APRIL 30th SENATE HEARING AT NOON not 10AM See SLP comte page
Politicians care about two things: 1) Getting re-elected 2) Not being hassled. Our pontificating about rights they don't care about or believe in does nothing but make us feel good. Until gun owners can muster the political strength to put a dent in #1 (let's face it, we haven't come close), we can only worry about #2. This has been said before, but making the technical points is the ONLY thing that will have any impact. Police departments being short-handed because of new Firearms ID paperwork requirements, extra state expenses because of proposed new laws, complaining constituents, lawsuits over poorly worded laws. All of these are hassles and headaches that politicians want to avoid. Unless they are crusading ideologues (and there are some of them), these hassles will give them more pause than any more bloviating on our part, no matter how many people we can get to dress up as Colonial era frontiersmen.

Jeanine was a pleasure to deal with. She drove to meet me, was prompt, had her paperwork, and was very nice too. What else can you ask for in a buyer?

ALERT!!!! APRIL 30th SENATE HEARING AT NOON not 10AM See SLP comte page
BLF, Since when is information tracked by the government not used by the government? Remember when we were assured that EZ Pass records would be kept private and confidential and never used to track a person's travel? They are used in court proceedings all the time nowadays. People have a legitimate reason to worry about this.

Go Yankees
As gun owners in a retarded blue state, we know what it's like to be the underdog. So how much fun is it to root for Goliath?

Another family hero from the last great generation passes
Sorry to hear about your uncle, Kevin. We are all diminished by the loss of these brave men. Hopefully the memory of them can keep their spirit alive in these new generations.

What semi auto to get
The important thing is to check out the different styles and find put what you like. For a general purpose AR, I like a light gun. To me, LWRC guns are boat anchors, suitable for a bench rest and that is about it. Obviously, other folks feel differently.

1936 - LASD Pistol Team
One of those shots came a little close for comfort. The one with a guy that had a piece of of chalk sticking out from both ears. Yikes.

I got my Rossi 92 in 357 for under $500 from Tony at TJ Sporting Arms a few months ago, but after Sandy Hook shooting. He is a site sponsor. Give him a call. Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Tapatalk 2
