Shocker

Nice now you just need some Logman flush mags (my next purchase)

No, they're using very high % or almost pure ethanol in most cases

Last time I was at Lou's in Raritan they had one, that was a little while ago though

There's a crapload of color available http://www.lauerweaponry.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=610 and unless you're buying an uncommon color you can frequently find the kits cheaper from other vendors for some reason. I put a trash bag over my rifle, cut a square around the work area and taped just the edges with duct tape. I knew the tape wouldn't ruin the finish and I wanted to be damn sure there was no seepage under the tape edges.

Then mask and airbrush would probably look better than paintbrush anyway. Get yourself some of that masking paper that will feed through a computer printer and x-acto it in place? If you are working your stencil on the computer you're 90% done

For color fill I've seen people using nail polish, crayons, all sorts of things. There are many tutorials out there, look for "ar color fill" or something like that. But none of them will be as durable as Duracoat. But now that I think about it, the reason you can't brush it on is that its extremely thin. But maybe that would make it great for color fill? Use an eye dropper and let it run into all the grooves? Just a thought.

Congrats, she'll serve you well

1k SRR 1k SPP I don't shoot enough Wow, ~40 boxes already. You'll probably have to call ahead to make sure he has enough stock

Looks like $1-$2 more per 1000 at T&T. Gas from somerset would only cover half the hazmat, so if PV charges shipping you'd still have to order a lot of stuff but it's probably doable with this crew... EDIT: price list: http://www14.inetba.com/tandtreloading/productCat4435.ctlg?orderId=&custId=

I need primers, is Powder Valley worth it over driving to T&T (considering Hazmat and shipping vs. gas and time)?

I would be down depending on particulars. Springfield is working on the slide for my EMP but if I get it back in time she'll make the trip.

There's a bunch of Somerset-ers on here now. Welcome aboard.

My carry holster (supertuck) has hooks to go over your belt, they could just as easily hook on an elastic waistband, it would just be tougher to draw since your pants would stretch. EDIT: and unless your pants were snug the weight might pull them down, haha

Get a .40. Problem solved

True dat, plus if it has a 5" slide and its not labelel "L" its a pro. I don't know why S&W doesn't have "Pro" in the descriptions but if you click on it you can see the wording on the slide in the picture. And in regards to the mag safety, you can get a regular without that, you just have to make sure you have the right SKU. A non-pro will come with and without a thumb safety, with and without a mag safety. Mine is without/without.

From what I was reading Colt will stamp the frame that it's had factory service and that won't devalue the gun. I was considering it for mine but not any time soon.

The Gunnuts guys tried to "accidentally" activate the safety and they couldn't, FWIW

Defense or gun games? The gamers seem to like Dawson and Warren and I like Trijicon for defense/low light. Also looking at Truglo when I eventually upgrade.

No laughing here, but Hoppe's will strip krylon. I think that stuff is mostly Kerosene but regular spray paint won't stand up to it.

I wonder how much Norinco had to do with this

I used the Duracoat tactical black to make my stainless barrel closer match the anodized aluminum. My suggestion is to do it outside or use a mask

Huh, I though it looked tiny. But its supposed to be a single-stack, super thin piece, right? I'd like to see the thickness. And then I will buy one

Wow, .357 vs. .380?

I don't know of any upper that will lock the bolt to the rear on an empty mag (it will rest on the follower). Dedicated .22 rifles will be less finnicky about ammo. M&P15-22 are plentiful used. I sold my ST-22 and went with that. EDIT: S&W isn't the only choice either. Ruger's SR22 rifle is a tarted up 10/22 which gets good reviews and Sig has the 522. I only say that because the market for tactical 22's is flush with choices which makes everything cheaper.
