I resembled that remark.

There is no law about separating ammo from the gun. The gun is either loaded or not, the location of ammo does not matter.

-1 by accident, someone +1 him for me please?

Also a bit cheaper. Personally, I prefer the USP45 over the HK45, but you can't go wrong with either.

Anyone making a Solomon's run soon? I need a jug of W231.

Agreed. Guys, if you're going to post spoilers, please make them invisible by selecting the text and changing it to white.

This. They already get me for $2/permit, $18 for the background, $16.05 for NICS. They'd be lucky as hell to get more than $0.44 from me per envelope.

Yes, however you will definitely be kicking yourself for not shooting it. Disclaimer: This is assuming you are comfortable drawing from a holster and moving with a weapon.

Heh, I really need to post up pics of my POS ikea-esque loading bench.

I wouldn't be concerned. Also, it really doesn't have to take up that much room. If you have a desk somewhere you can bolt the press to a piece of wood and just clamp it to the desk when it's time to reload.

IMO, I think the best alarm would be some type of cell backup something-or-other as Nick said, but have the notification go directly to your cell. That way, you know if someone should be home or not, and can call the Police if you want. I would also couple this with some streaming video cameras, so you can get a description of someone going through your place.

Permit to purchase a pistol.

Yup.

FYI, Golden Sabers are a pretty outdated design with unreliable expansion, from what I have read elsewhere. Good price though.

The problem with walking around with an unloaded long gun is the catch-all of "possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose". Unlawful purpose is not spelled out, thus you are always in danger of being charged with it.

Given what most cops know about guns in general, what makes you think that a Forensics team is going to sit down with the gun you used in a shooting, and compare it to a new model of the same gun, and come up with any conclusion about how different it is? The Apex kit on my M&P consists of springs and machined metal with no stampings on them. You would have to completely detail strip the weapon and compare each part to see what was changed. Frankly, if they do anything more than test-fire the gun to check the rifling marks on the bullet, I would be shocked.

Skip to 0:35.

Their call centers take forever to get someone to the phone. They routinely call the wrong Police Dept for alarms. They never confirm proper phone numbers for the responding PD that covers the address in question. Their operators are rude, lazy, and usually not very bright.

Silly kool aid drinkers... Glocks are no good. Go HK USP40!

Good way to dry em out. I have seen some posts where people have done it and been okay, but they take extra steps in making sure all the metal surfaces have a light coating of oil before placing them in the case. That eggshell foam is terrible on metal for long-term storage.

I've heard this a lot, and I have yet to see anything backing it up. To answer the OP, I have tinkered with pretty much everything, and even my two go-to HD/carry guns have work done.

Way late to the party, figured I would add my $.02 as well. My Sig P226 came with a Serpa holster, and I use this gun for gun games only. The holster and gun will never be used for anything other than USPSA, Steel, or IDPA. If I get into some 3-gun stuff, I will not use either the gun or the holster. When I draw, I have a relatively heavy DA first pull, and my finger indexes on the frame. For all these reasons, I see no sense in getting rid of the Serpa for another holster. It would be an unnecessary expense. If my gun did not come with the Serpa, I would have bought a Bladetech or something similar. For carry/tacticool/3-gun type stuff, I want retention, and I don't trust the Serpa button due to the possibility of it getting gummed up with stuff, nor do I trust the design when drawing from awkward locations. For this scenario, and for the guns I would use in this type of situation(HK), my choice is some sort of thumb-break, and leaning towards Safariland.

I loaded up some of my Blazer SPP .45 last night with the same data as my LPP loads. I'll shoot them on Saturday and report back.
