While I agree that if you want the .357 sig, you can go with .40 and change the barrel but the sights will be off. Since, sig is now standardizing the frame to the 40 frame, I wonder if you can just swap the barrel out of a 9mm, to the .357 sig barrel. The sights would be dead on since both calibers use the same sights. If you go with the .40 and swap the barrel, the POI will be off as a result. Of course, You could get the barrel swap the front sight and be g2g. I like the .357 sig round a lot and I am thinking of switching to it as a defense round. If you look hard enough, you may be able to score a case for $300 every now and then. That make it almost the same price as 40 costs nowadays.

Generally I don't care about things like thiss but it just goes to show how technology might seem great, it can be used against us. Also, I don't have anything to say because my job pays for my bberry and I know the monitor it, so.....

I can also. I would put hogues or something else anyway.

I have to say that I shy'd away from the aluminum grips because the cold weather would radiate the cold. I don't get that with the g10's. Same goes for heat. They are great and I don't wanna say they shouldn't be tried but I prefer the g10's. Lristen uses the old school sig aluminums. She may be selling em as I am trying to convert her to g10's lol

I never got that email from you btw. Dan, You can get used guns at good prices. I tend to shoot the 229/228 more just because I like the guns. When I shoot the 226, I am generally a better shot as the sight increase helps. SRT's are easy to come by now that TGS has them, but you have to wait sometimes to get them in stock.

I have a 226 elite with the alloy frame and I like it. Should you decide to wanna go the .40 s&w route, I think the stainless steel route is a little more forgiving. If you don't want the stainless look, sig is now making the stainless gun in a nitron finish on both the slide and frame. That is a sweet offering. The beavertail is nice for a firm positioned grip every time. I do prefer to have a gun without the beavertail though. Like Daniel said, you can get a higher grip on the gun. I will also say that the compact sigs are my favorite guns. The wood grips I could do without. The look great but they make my hand sweat more and do little to help the grip I use Hogue g10 grips.

Also, when you go to SS over the weekend, you should get there early. The place fills up quickly over the weekend.

Thanks Frank. I have noo issues with my gen 4's althought I did get the recoil spring update.

Eddie, I have a Sig p226 classic 22. It's a great gun and allows your to go either 9mm, 357 sig or 40 cal in addition to the 22lr upper. I believe a local FFL and vendor of the forum TJ Sporting Arms has one in Stock. They are really great gun IMO, but I am a little biased. Glocks are great guns and have their place. You have to really try each gun out to see what you like. I prefer a SIG every day of the year but do shooot competitions with glocks.

I posted to FB. That is awesome.

Sighewa has a lwrc, pof and a Abcor. They are really nice and I can attest to the lack of need of lubing etc...Really are nice rifles and if I was to sell my colt, I would go to a piston AR. I may do what Pizza Bob did and just get an upper.

I would get a copy of the person's license and I would also keep a copy of the ffl info. Package the long gun up, tape the package like fort knox. Then I would get a receipt of delivery to ups. I believe you can ship ground with a long gun. I would also get a signature confirmation and also insure the gun.

Eddie, I think that 9mm is a comperable to the recoil of 38special. It is alos cheaper than most calibers. I suggest you looking into pistols in this catergory. a 22lr rifle is one of the funnest rifles in the world. I have more of those than anything else and have more fun with 22lr's. The ammo is cheap and usually harder to get good groups. That makes it more fun to me.

I have somehow aquired one checkmate mag. It is a range mag that we use and usually only get's 5 rounds, max 10 rounds per string. It is fine for what it is. I have a lot of Mec-gar mags. I highly recommend the anti snag finish. I would keep the CM mags as your likely to get low balled for them. Just use them for the range and only for like 5 rounds at a time.

Sounds great, where is the pics?

Jon, can;t you get a all around permit?

okay, so you cannot be in possesion of ammo in your vehicle? Let's say I have a box of ammo in my car and go to work. That is illegal? I honestly did not know that. I ask because I was under the impression it was only handguns and not ammo.

I have done transfers at all sorts of crazy locations. Granted, I was prepared to not bring attention to myself. Parkway rest stops, I've done a few at Harolds. lol

I have an american defense mount on my colt. It's great and very ease to take off/on for cleaning. Palmetto state has lpj's for $44.

Not sure if this is mentioned, but have you thought about using the foam ear protection and then you regular ear protection? It may be that you need more protection from the noise.

I have a kimber 1911 in 9mm. It shoots great and has no issues. Depends on what you get. I would be more inclined to buy a used kimber 1911 then new. At least you'd be able to try the gun out. Also, is there a reason why you limited yourself to just those guns? What abouut SIG?

I usually store my stuff and label all my stuff so I know what stuff is. I also check my powder charge to be sure how many gn's is actually going in. Then I load like a madman. I like the idea of the cans for simple stuff. I label a lot of stuff so it's no biggy. I would load 2k of my recipe if I had the materials.

That sounds good. I still have to set mine up. My plans are to load the same and get some seperate powder measures. Just easier imo. I just ordered some ammo cans to store reloads after I set them up. What did you store the 10k rounds in?

Good for her. Groups look good.

Tony @ Tj's usually handles my transfers. I wouldn't hesitate to go to him. On the other hand, I think you SOL. You purchased 4 lowers and should expect to pay at least $100 in transfer fees, plus $15 for nics.
