Old School

Dont know. Thats why I want to see it first hand from someone else.Being that I taught myself from books and the internet...maybe I am doing things wrong. Maybe I can learn some tricks of the trade. Maybe I picked up some bad habits. Safe - Yes.Accurate - Yes but probably could get even more accurate.Saving Money - thats a tough one. -Yes & no...always buying equipment & components.But if I had to buy the ammo that I have loaded, it would been a hell of a lot more. Definitely shooting more. Efficiently? Dont know for sure...dont have anything to compare it to. How do you guage efficient? You never know, have to keep an open mind. Maybe I can help someone as well. Excuse me if I came accross as an A-hole. Any help I can give you I will. I guess I've been reloading for about 35 years so I take a lot for granted. PM me and I'll give you my phone #. I'll answer any questions I can and chat about your equipment, procedeures and quality checks. Yes I have formal quality checks throughout the process and record them. Just incase I ever get a Ka-boom and I survive I can go back and investigate. Frank - at the HELP line

What do you expect to be taught in a class that you can't read in a book? Is your ammunition safe? Is it accurate? Are you saving money? Do you think you are reloading efficiently? Ask you questions here. You won't learn anything in a class.

Silly laws! I know Loads of Kids that run around with machine guns an no problems! They are called our military. And excuse me, they were kids. Now they are MEN and WOMEN. Love those kids!

Dave- It all makes sense now. Thanks! Dunkleburger was extorted, obviously. Though he may have buckled under too easily. He was bitching last time I saw him about some local mayors signing on to the Bloomberg BS Group. I guess the Groucho mustach, nose and glasses next time I go in to buy primers.

At this point, most places I go have primers available for $34 or less. Of course, at Dunkelbergers your purchases are recorded, videotaped, and the records are sent to the NYPD. That's why they are getting nearly boycotted by the PA gun guys these days.... Are you pulling my chain or what? I thought Jerry was a stand up guy. I never had a sale recorded. I'll ask him next time I'm there. If this is true please provide some proof.

Target shooting has developed into a nice activity in our family. My wife and daughter both shoot and we even teach the grandkids firearms safety and to shoot. I'm shooting since I'm 10yo and My wife was career military so we're very comfortable around firearms. The important thing to me is training the next generation in firearms safety and sport. Maintaining this American Tradition is what will maintain our firearms freedom. Sorry for hijacking the thread

You're right all the current RO's are good eggs. The restictions at CR are what has kept it safe for the last 50 years. So, I just suck it up and follow the rules. BTW double taps have never been a problem as long as you notified the RO's first. Or that's what worked for me anyway. Question? When you referred to the "silo range" are you talking about the plinking range to the right of the 2-300 yd? Are handguns allowed on the plinking range? That would be nice... I'm glad you had a good time and I like you value CR as a great resource. Give me a shout on your next visit my wife Kimber and I are there often and I always like her to see other women shooting.

As a first 9mm? A sub-compact? Glock 17, SR9, XD9 Service, M&P mid size Your right Ray! I would even say a G19, a medium sized frame.

XD's FOOL :hope:

Tony, what model, caliber is it? I can't tell.

I've come out of the closet! Yes I'm gay for GLOCKs. Budget is important to you? Brand New Glock 17 or 19 for under $400. Join GSSF for $35/year and buy a GLOCK for $382 with 2 or 3 mags, if they like you 3. Who cares if the cartridge rattles in the chamber They are good as entry level pistols and for other things

Give me a yell about Monday. I would like to stop up.

I'm not available on the weekend but limited days during the week.. Was up there with another newbie this week, good guy. I can show you around next week if you want. Monday, Tuesday of Friday.

You're a gentleman and it's my pleasure to promote the shooting sports. Remember it's an American tradition.

I love the hell out of them too. They're a ;ittle expensive out of the gate but in the long run you can't go wrong. Ever see their miniguns? So make us cry. What is your total cost, acquisition and refurb for as new press?

I sympathize with you guys,LEO. How can you act and know you are doing the right thing? If you're not given enough info to know the specifics of how to enforce a law what do you do?

Bump

Dan, Matt, Sigman--- I picked up the Media. We can meet up at CR. PM me and I'll give you my phone# Frank

I'm scheduled to make a trip to Cabela's tomorrow. The trip could wash out though. PM me with your phone # and I'll give you a call as soon as I know. Probably about 8pm. BTW the Utah course imprsses me. .. I took it as well.

PK- This detective I've dealt with a few times and is pretty cool. I asked for two and he said "you sure you don't want three?" I said Ok give me three. I did this over the phone so I owe him $4. But since I pay his salary he knows I'm good for it.

All for it!

NO need to call the lawyer! I talked to the detective in charge of issuing permits and I am being issued three (3) permits.

No abuse here! :? [/size] Announce when you go to CR and we'll form a welcoming committee. Which means you can buy the coffee. Welcome aboard!

I just came back from the Jefferson Twp Police Station. I feel sorry for these LEO's as they are only doing what they are told. Well now they only issue one Pistol Purchase Permit at a time. Is this consistant with all towns? It's a financial burden even with the one gun a month thing. $18 for the State Police each time you want one permit. Then you pay for a NICS on top of that. Tomorrow morning Gary Needleman gets a call. This is crazy!

Ray-Excellent advise. J-frame size is great for a woman with smaller hands and weight if a 3 or 4 inch barrel is decent. K frame if she can handle a little more size. An old defense load was 147gr HBWC loaded upside down at about 900fps. Little recoil and expandamundo! Back on topic- No BH for me Thursday- Going to Cabela's
