Walther P22
I have one that my son shoots a lot. I've been using the .22 Federal bulk pack ammo from Caberla's with no problems. The gun has been very reliable, no FTE or FTF. I find it easy to break down or assemble.

WTF? Comcast Bill went up 6.5%
Mine keeps going up, but I have Cablevision. I think they're passing the buck onto us to keep Fox in the channel lineup. Fox was taken off the air a couple of times over the past couple of years because they want cablevision to pay them lots of cash to keep them on. Anyway, that's what we're told.

.38 SPL.
I'm shooting 158gr LSWC over 4.2 gr. of Universal Clays. I don't think jacketed bullets should be a problem.

Not a fan of network TV
Yea Ken - I'm with you on this. The ignorant public gets a lot of its firearms knowledge from what is portrayed on TV. Hollywood and its lib friends help out the gun control fanatics all the time in getting their message across.

Bi-Weekly meetup at Bullet Hole
I'm heading down to BH tonight if anyone is interested. I should be there around 6:30 and shoot for an hour. Dave - are you around?

New Production SW Model 10
The model 10 is a work horse. I have a mid 70's heavy barrel in excellent condition. Try to find a used one like others have said. Double action is heavy, but it's a sweet shooter.

Welcome aboard. From the north as well.

FFL Dealer : World Class Steel LLC - experience?
Just to be on the safe side, I would have some form of contact with a dealer before placing an order. God forbid something happens to the person health or whatever. Websites aren't always updated promptly. I'm not trying to worry you, but I would play it safe.

Question #26 - Oh the confusion
Mark - that was pretty funny. Nice job.

Custom Stainless Forearm/shroud..Sub2000.Pics
I have one plain jane stock in .40 S&W. It takes the glock 22 mags. It shoots very nice. I've had a couple of FTE's but the gun may have been dirty or I didn't have a solid hold on it. My lead reloads were flawless last time out. I was hitting a pie plate at 100yds. I guess that's not bad for a pistol carbine. Perfect home defense or plinker. Superbee - nice job on the update! Very different.

My first Sig
Very nice - I shot a Sig P220 stainless elite and liked it a lot.

case prep machine
I check every case and only trim the ones that need it. I use a Lyman Easy Case Gauge

Recommend me some hearing protection.
I have the Howard Leight also. I paid close to $40.00 and they work great.

Super Bowl shoot out
I haven't been to CR since December. Does anyone know how much snow is there? Do the ports need to be shoveled out? There was snow there before the big storm after Christmas. It was great shooting there in Dec. I was at rifle a couple of times with only half a dozen people there. The pistol range was vacant one Sat.

NJ Income Tax Filing..
Yea - since I get reimbursed through health insurance, I never meet the mins. I believe the state is lower than the fed % and I still don't make it. Not even close. You need to have a pretty severe health problem and bad (or no) health insurance to benefit. I've been using Turbo Tax for years and it makes tax prep cake. I have basic write-offs from owning a house. For $49.00 Fed and state, it's well worth it. Free electronic filing with fed.

case prep machine
This has been working pretty well for me. I usually do about 100 cases at a clip. First I wash the brass in hot water and simple green. This gets most of the dirt off. I let them air dry in a pail for a couple of days then lube and deprime. I wash again to get the lube off. I don't want lube in the cleaning media. I then tumble the cases. The primer pockets come clean. Some primer pockets have media that I easily clean out with a piece of guitar string. I then trim if necessary and debur. I can debur a case in about 2 seconds with the hand tool. The washing of the brass keeps unwanted debris out of the dies and keeps the media clean longer. I don't mind the extra wash cycle because the brass is very shiney ready to load. But that's me, I like reloaded ammo that looks new.

case prep machine
Are you doing rifle or pistol brass? If pistol, I just tumble the cases and load. No need to trim and prep pistol brass. For rifle I have a Foster case trimmer and use the hand deburing tool. I also have the case trimmers that you can chuck in the end of a drill. These also work very good. I wouldn't spend the money on a case prep machine like that. What type of case prep are you doing and how many cases do you do at a time?

Chris - you have to admit the Sig stainless elites are pretty hot. I do like some guns blued or black.

M&P340 no lock
How do you like the model 60 pro? How is it shoot? I was checking one out and may be on the list. I shot an LCR and it was pretty stout with 38's.

It would be 1911 for me and if you want Springfield, the TRP is pretty sweet. BTW - I have a Trophy Match and it is an awesome shooter.

What should my next pistol purchase be? Need your help!
.45 ACP is a nice round to reload. If you plan on reloading and want a different caliber, then .45 ACP would be my choice. My first .45 was a 1911 and if I had the choice, I'd do the same. They're easy to take apart and maintain. Every gun collection should have a 1911 at some point. I'm actually checking out some 1911's and may get another in the near future.

Daily commute to NYC
I worked in midtown Manhattan for about 10 years and went to JFK to do work. I took the A train straight to Howard Beach and then took JFK Air Train if needed. I had free transportation with this route, but was like an hour train ride. You're best bet like posted above is NJT to Penn Station, then LIR to Jamaica, jump on Air Train. Do you have to pay for travel? It's an expensive ride.

UPS = THE SUCK!!
WOW! - alleged theft, that's pretty bad. Over Christmas my packages were being delivered to the wrong house up the street. I'm lucky that the person was nice enough to bring them down to me. The boxes had the correct address on them. I called UPS to finally get it right. How do you deliver a properly marked package to the wrong house? Isn't this supposed to be a professional delivery service?
