Am new to the 1911 platform and .45 cal also. I dont think this is normal but just want some opinions. When i rack the slide after initial mag loading it sometimes doesnt close and I can see its because the rnd is nosediving. I'm pretty sure its the mag because holding a full mag I can push down the bullet of the top rnd , thus making it dive, as there is a substantial gap between the top rnd and the one under it. the lower one is more level than the top rnd which seems to be angled up appropriatly. The gap is such that a stick from a Q-tip easily fits in with room to spare. And thats just at the brass case, not the bullet. playing around loading/unloading the mag I see that the gap doesnt kick in till about the 5-6 rnnds, getting larger till #8. I can see how the rnd can dive as its being pushed into battery and the space allows the bullet to want to dive and thus jamb. Am using FMJ ball 230 factory ammo not HP and the ramp is nicely polished, the bullet actually isnt even reaching the ramp...Also going to try 5 rnds in a mag but havnt yet. None of my other semi mags display the prob and the rnds are all packed tight so like I said thinking its the Act mags. Is this spacing common or should I just go ahead and get some better mags( Wilson, Chip Mc...)?

Well yea, kind of. And it startled the crap outa us. My son came home early on leave one night when he was supposed to arrive in the morning. Drove straight thru to "suprise us" us and popped into our bd room doorway at 3:00 AM and announced his arrival. We jumped up and instantly new it was him but it could have happened another very bad way. Needless to say I reminded him ,in very strong words, that my HG is next to me in the nighttable and it was not smart of him.....Now of course he had a key and was very quite coming in but in retrospect it was scary when I think of how easy a stealthy BG could sneek in. And now thinking about a home alarm system. Come to think of it and not to hijack but how many of you actually have home alarm systems?

still got mine , somewhere, that I made in late 60s. Lime metallic green(like my dads 68 Cougar) old Grand Prix style.We did it right, dad looked and made suggestions, was the first thing i probably built with tools. Also did it again with my son. he wasnt into it and it showed! Some(most?) of the other cars where most definatly not built by kids. I also remember the dads crowding out the kids during race time and hooting like they had money on the races.

The Archies !!!

Must be your imagination- the hotline says its open till 4

My goal is to drop about 15- 20 yrs, everything else will come easy after that.

Thus the lack of the OP's envelope.

What I like about SG is they dont (or havnt yet) hit me with a separate s/h charge if I order something out of stock if its part of a larger order.Unlike Midway and others. SG just sends seperate shipments and thats that.

I guess technically for NEW memers they go up Monday Feb 6 as the next membership Sunday is March 4, after the price increase. So you pretty much have to go to the Feb 5 meeting to join before the increase. Mark those calanders and set your alarms now.

Show me where it says that. The term "locked" isnt there.

as of my vote now the numbers are pretty clear- suburb/hg= 23 votes each rural/lg=14 votes each

wouldnt hurt to dbl check that your references did their part too.On my last round of pp's my Lt called me after 6 weeks to say everything has been done for several weeks but still waiting on one reference! Weird cause he was always prompt before.

Haha- let me guess, you're gonna start a thread so everyone can post their valuble jewlery, or maybe their fine art?

My concern here isnt that you (OP) got sand kicked in your face. You're a big boy and will get over it, but that the cop sat in the parking lot for two hrs (unless an exageration?) instead of patrolling his turf rounding up BG's.

no- its always a good idea to keep abreast of the laws, yesterday, today and tomorrow

Wow- you really dont get mad!

whats the suprise- you thought the would keep going down?!

How much ammo is enough? For me I flog myself if I get down to 1,000 rnds. Srart getting nervous, bitchy, kickin the dog.Thats per calibor.

I second that emotion. So maybe we're in contention for the tin foil hat award?

maybe OP throwing a swing at the PPD themselves

What he said.

I believe a qualified distribution from a Roth is not taxable.after your 59 1/2 and have had the acct open for at least 5 yrs.

You sure about that? That would mean that money is being taxed twice since the Roths are funded with after tax dollars to begin with. BTW, the principal can be tapped anytime without consequenses.

No house. At the end of the street is a long driveway to a large industrial/warehouse type bldng that he uses a small part of.

All the more reason to get to know the NJ firearm laws and your (lack of) rights under them. As long as your guns AND mags are NJ legal your "worst" fear is to be hassled by ignorant leos, biased judges and opportunistic prosecuters.
