What an awesome Christmas present! Best of luck with it. BTW - I have a EMP 40. and it's also a sweet shooter.

I don't bring copies of anything. It is not required by law. I was on the way home from Cherry Ridge and had the police look into my car at a random seatbelt check point. I did have my seatbelt on. There were rifle/pistol cases, ammo boxes, and targets in full view. I would say there was a full load in the car if you know what I mean. The police just waived me through no questions asked. If you spend the weekend in jail something else is going on. It's not for no pistol purchase permit in hand.

"Assisted openers" are not considered switchblades in NJ.

I have a Walther PPS and it's a great carry piece. It's very accurate and I've had no problems with it. The back straps can also be changed to fit your hand.

I did the same thing to a forster case trimmer. Just removed the handle and attached an electric drill with a 1/2" chuck. Works great.

Alcohol and guns don't mix. A combination for potential disaster.

What does "all brass must be marked when removing from range?" I pickup my brass since I reload.

Same here. I have a tablecloth I've been cutting up for the past couple of years. I think paper towels would rip a part.

$3350 They may be able to tweek things but it may be close to totalled. If the frame is bent or suspect, I say totalled.

The imperial sizing wax is the best I've used. One tin lasts a long time and use sparingly. I only use on rifle brass.

The RCBS Chargemaster 1500 is an awesome digital scale. I have 3 RCBS scales, 505, 750, and 1500. I like the 1500 the most. The 750 is also excellent, but needs some warm-up time to stabilize. The 1500 has a larger display and no warm up time needed. Check out some online reviews.

Redhawk owner here. I'm a reloader, .44MAg is fun to reload. I make medium to high power loads and it's inexpensive to shoot lead. For the most part, I shoot medium strength lead nose.

I've seen many lights popped from birdshot so it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't allowed.

+1 Taper crimp semi-auto and roll crimp revolver. Even in revolver I don't go to a heavier crimp until I hit magnum loads. You only need a slight crimp to take the flair off the case mouth. The case should not dig into the bullet. I've loaded thousands of 9mm like this without fail. Like Tim said, the cartridge headspaces off the case mouth.

Yes - I have a PPS 9mm and it's one of my favorite 9mm's. It has a thin grip and comes with different backstraps to adjust the grip. It has been rock solid with 1500 rounds through it, no jams, easy to take down and clean, and makes an excellent CCW piece. Accuracy is excellent for a sub-compact. It's on the more expensive side, so that may keep it from getting much play. I think they're in the $625 ballpark, but it was worth it to me.

The best that I have used is Ballistol. I also use Kroil, but I think the Ballistol is a little better.

Happy B-Day Sir!

I'm also using Slip2000 and TW25B. A lot of Slip2000 fans here.

I have one and it shoots minimag and bulk pack federal ammo fine. It's well made and have no problems with it. It's not a precision shooter, but is a great plinker and fun gun.

As someone suggested, go to Shore Shot and rent some different guns. Do you want a revolver or pistol? A ruger GP100 4" revolver is a great gun to start with. 9mm or 38SP is a good starting round and fine for home protection. A revolver is great for home defense, especially if you're not that gun savy yet. Just point and pull trigger. A pistol may be a little more complicated to a beginner because of safties and knowing how to clear a jam or failure to feed.

Yes - the shotgun range is covered. We shot in rain before, but they'll close it if the lightning starts. The silhouette range is not covered.

Happy B-day brutha. 30 - still a youngster

Dan If you're set on trimming pistol brass, get a case gauge and check it first. Maybe the crimp is more affected by case length when using wadcutter bullets? I've loaded thousands of pistol rounds with no trimming, but have not used wadcutters. I only trim rifle brass when it needs it. I case gauge all rifle brass first.

Exactly - more propaganda to show us how much we need our governments protection. Lets give them more reasons to create government agencies and have more control over us. We wouldn't have half the problems we have if the US would stay out of everybodies buisness. Who elected us as protector of the world? How about securing our own borders instead of worrying about everyboby else.
