  1. The directions on my mid sized bag say 240 for 3 hours I don't think agitation is necessary the moisture will migrate out during those three hours
  2. S&W Shield in Theis IWB. Always with jeans, this weekend we'll see how it works with dress pants.

    I got one after contrasting it against the LC9 and PPS. I like it quite a bit. Come by SCFGPA and shoot it EDIT: I was on my phone earlier so now I'll add a little detail...I havent' shot the Ruger or Walther but I've held them. The Walther felt the most comfy in my hand with the grip extension but I didn't like that mag release that they use, and the Shield wasn't that far behind. The Ruger felt kind of like a toy. As far as shooting, the recoil is surprisingly easy to handle. I shot 115, 124 and 147 and they all felt pretty similar, I guess that dual spring recoil assembly helps out a lot because it felt even softer than my EMP which was a heavier gun. It was very comfy with the extended mag and even with the short one it wasn't too bad. Accuracy is meh, off hand I could get all my quick shots within 8" at 7 yards. If I slowed down I'm sure I could tighten that up but I was mostly making sure it would feed everything. It did feed everything although there was one FTE when I was shooting weak-handed and since it never happened again I will have to assume I limp-wristed it. With the short magazine it completely disappears in a Theis IWB holster (Supertuck clone), even leaning over as long as my shirt doesn't ride up.
  4. Yeah I was suprised to see an ad in Shooting Times saying "in stores now!" earlier today
  5. I just got a Theis holster, pretty much a supertuck but cheaper. And the clips don't have those stupid crosses.
  6. PICS is different And rubbing in how PA is better is just not nice

    Springfield EMP is ~3.25" barrel, alloy frame and slide (for 9mm anyway, .40 gets you steel parts). Costly though. IIRC Kimber has some similar models, for similar coin. The P238 is all metal I think, but it's .380. EDIT: no rails on these
  8. "please please look at me! I'm still relevant!" --Madonna
  9. Sell it here on the marketplace? You'll get raped if you sell it to a shop, maybe a little less so if you trade it in at the same place you buy the new piece.
  10. Since my son was born most months I only get to shoot at the one IDPA match that is closest to my house. Once in a while I'll get a chance to shoot one other time in that month. That's all the live fire practice I get and I still consider myself competitive. You can always practice drawing at home with an empty gun. (Once my wife doesn't need help with the baby all the time I intend to go back to shooting more...)
  11. "Flemington Department Store" We've been buying flooring and furniture there for a long time, albeit infrequently. It was only recently I noticed the area with tactical/duty gear.
  12. I use a 5.11 1.5" belt for IDPA but I'm no Expert. You're limited to 1.75" for IDPA by rule.
  13. 429 is the same price at heritage as it happens
  14. If I keep this I'm swapping the ambi-safety for a single sided. Someone save me the $50 and buy this
  15. I have my press bolted to a bench but I could have just as easily bolted it to a block that gets clamped to the nearest stable surface. But it sounds like a portable stand is what you want.
  16. Triggers and hammers can be swapped (along with almost every other part if it's standard - springs, spring housings, grips, extractors, safeties, blah blah) but they probably require hand-fitting
  17. Want an EMP? Kinda like an xds but pretty. And not an xds.
  18. I'll have to call Firearms Guild later this week then...Shore Shot is too far at my current level of seriousness. EDIT: RTSP had one, wow that thing is even thinner than I anticipated
  19. I am intrigued by this little gun but it seems to be a hot ticket and nobody has them on the shelf to handle. I don't want to have a NJGF vendor order one before fiddling with with it though. So does anybody have on that I could fiddle? Im not even looking to shoot it, just see how it fits me. I live in somerset and work in Morris. I'll be at SCFGPA on Sunday for IDPA if that's convenient.
  20. I recently shot an IDPA match where a guy was using WWII-era Ohlins ammo. He had a jam on pretty much every string.
  21. Perfect for the NJGF BUG meet if it ever became a reality
  22. I've read that rimfire scopes are adjusted for paralax at shorter ranges. So you just have to figure out how far away your targets will typically be.
  23. Pretty sure it only fired one cylinder at a time. The hammer has multiple pins but only one cylinder is under either pin at any given time or something. They had this gun on the Sons of Guns show a while back, I don't remember what they called it but it was a 20-shot revolver. I can find two-barrel versions of this with my google-fu but not three. I assume it's the same principle though. http://www.militaryf...mallarms_id=315 EDIT: Sons of Guns had a Lefaucheux Pinfire.
