"ya know what we need man? some rooope."

You're talking FMJs, but I mentioned JHPs. The MG JHPs come out to about $80 per k while Precision Delta JHPs cost $84 per k. Either way it's just personal preference and even paying $95 per k would be far cheaper than buying new ammo.

Not to sound too repetitive, but welcome.

"Sigma thanks for link just order 1k 9mm 124gr my 92fs loves that bullet let's see how these work" nonononono! The key here is to buy in bulk. MG 124 JHP's sell for $100 per 1000, or $303 per 3750. That's a savings of 2 cents each round, which adds up. Once you find a powder you like, buy at least 4 lbs of it because it's cheaper in bulk and paying $20 once for 8lbs of powder is better than $160 for 8-1bs containers separate times for hazmat. Buy primers when you buy powder, if possible buy amounts that jive together so you can continue to do this. Buying in bulk feels like you're spending a lot of dough, but it's the aspect of reloading that really makes it worthwhile financially. If you use a program to calculate your costs be sure to add in hazmat and shipping to the values to get an accurate assessment of what this is really costing you. According to the app on my phone, each box of 9mm costs me $5.60 Buy once, cry once. ...until you need more components.

I have a factory 226 e2 and the slide failing to lock back is caused by your thumb riding the slide catch lever.

Yeah it was, I only wish I had a MORE offensive shirt to wear!

So yesterday, while I was buying lunch in between my classes a middle-aged woman standing behind me, interrupted a conversation I was having with a friend. This is what happened, verbatim. Hippie: That's a very controversial shirt you're wearing. (I was wearing my Peace Through Superior Firepower shirt) Me: Can't argue with that. (polite smile, continues conversation with friend) H: Yeah I'm just one of those old-school hippies who would be happy if all the guns in the world disappeared. M: I gotcha, I know lots of people who feel similarly (polite smile) H: Really, that's disgusting and appalling. M: Agree to disagree right? (polite smile, getting irritated) H: Yeah that's just my opinion, just how I feel. Can't believe people think they're a good thing. M: Do you have any experience with them? H: With what? M: Firearms? H: *eyes increase to 3x normal size* wwWWHATT?! Why in the hell would I ever want to be near a gun! M: Well, you might enjoy it. H: WHAT THE fugg!? How dare you! I would never blah blah *something intelligible to herself* Have you ever seen American Beauty?! I learned everything I needed to know about guns from American Beauty! M: Wait what? What are you talking about H: Blah blah just like the nuclear blah blah in japan blah blah M: WHAT? I'm sorry but you're clearly very confused H: *lots of swearing and unintelligible mumbo-jumbo* GO SEE AMERICAN BEAUTY AND THEN COME TALK TO ME! M: I HAVE seen American Beauty, what in the world are you talking about? H: GO SEE AMERICAN BEAUTY AND THEN COME TALK TO ME! M: Ok, this is a lost cause. (like I didn't know that from the start) H: *More swearing, something about guns and dying* M: You know, for someone who claims to be from a generation of self-proclaimed free thinking and open-minded individuals, you're really quite ignorant and bitter don't you think? H: GO SEE AMERICAN BEAUTY AND THEN COME TALK TO ME! M: Come sit down with me and lets talk about acceptance and understanding (this drives her through the roof) H: You motherf*****(&@#@!#@!(*&*#@!(*&)_)!@*&!@##!!!!!!1111111oneoneone!!!11 M: Drop bombs not acid! H: *somewhat explodes mentally/verbally* I walk away and since she has backed up the line to pay for food, the 12-15 people behind us clap as I exit. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! I see her in the hallway today, and she says "Ha! Glad you listened to some reason and got rid of that shirt you little punk!" I reply with: "Well not being a hippie I'm obligated to change my clothing and shower regularly, give it a try!" This was really quite entertaining, and certainly made a long two-days much more enjoyable.

Please explain how that's NJ legal. I only see a BATFE letter indicating it is approved by them. I smell something akin to an Akin's Accelerator brewing. That last sentence sounds funny.

Yes we do, it's just neutered compared to other states.

Nope. While the .17HMR is under the max caliber, it DOES however fall under the "Cartridge that makes use of smokeless or black powder" clause.

Assault Manager, sorry if the replies seemed harsh. Please keep in mind that anything we say that seems overly harsh is only because we care very deeply about our firearms, and don't want to provide the Brady Bunch with any new ammunition (pun intended). It just 'cause we care brother. How about a hug?

I agree with Glenn. Teach kids how to avoid situations in which they might be threatened, defuse/deescalate a situation, and defend themselves without becoming the villain. As a freshman in highschool a senior in my woods class broke my work everyday, and did the usual shove me into lockers thing. Eventually he broke one of my friends ribs and dislocated my shoulder, so the next day when he came over to our bench I picked up a 2x4 and said I was going to break his jaw with it if he tried to hit me. He laughed and tried to hit me so I swung it into his face and "ruptured his septum" or something like that. I figured I'd be expelled since my school was quite p***yfied, but when I sat down with the principal they pulled out the kids file and it was at least 1.5" thick. I got a slap on the wrist and he got suspended. It worked out surprisingly well, and I'm still shocked I didn't get kicked out.

Count me in. Missed last month and now I'm all achy and feverish.

I hope he doesn't decide to take the law into his own hands, as much as I would approve of it morally. If the dad kills him and goes to jail, the murderer has now ended two lives. Understandably if the father said the his life ended when his son's did I would understand, but why leave the mother even more alone and isolated. It's not fair to her. It's easy to take the high road when you're not involved, I'm sure if I was the father I'd be camped out in a certain backyard right now.

+1 to Bullseye (surprisingly), Vihtavuori N320, and Titegroup are popular.

Sorry if this is a repost, and I realize it's a week old but I thought it was still interesting. Link RARITAN — A Police Department request that Borough Council allow officers to carry rifles in patrol cars has been put on hold until Chief Mark Ciesla delivers a report on the topic to council members. “They’re doing a study and checking into that,” Councilwoman Stefanie Gara told the Messenger-Gazette. “So everything at this point is on hold.” Gara is the council liaison to the Police Department, “They have to do some more due diligence on that before we really explore it,” she said. “They’re letting us know what other municipalities have and what they’re using. We’re trying to get very detailed information.” At least one law enforcement agency in New Jersey — the Rowan University police in Glassboro — has purchased rifles to enhance its ability to respond to on-campus “active shooter” situations. The purchases were made in 2009. Chief Ciesla told Borough Council on Feb. 8 that the experts in the field are recommending the use of rifles when dealing with an active shooter instead of shotguns, which are currently carried in Raritan police cruisers. “Trainers feel that the shotgun is not the type of weapon of choice today,” Ciesla said. “It’s no longer you sit outside and wait. It’s now you go in,” he said referring to how police are instructed to handle an active shooter. A shotgun fires a load of metal pellets and a rifle fires a bullet and is effective at a greater range. Ciesla said his department is checking on the cost factors for trade-ins of current weapons. “We’re not looking at taxpayer funds to do this,” he said. “We’re still in the exploratory stages.” Gara said during the Feb. 8 Borough Council meeting, “My fear is the power behind a rifle.” She also questioned whether the Somerset County SWAT team is available in situations that require the use of a rifle. The SWAT team responds primarily to hostage situations, Ciesla said, while in emergencies involving an “active shooter,” local law enforcement is trained to act immediately. No date was given as to when Ciesla’s report would be delivered to council. The meeting must have gone something like this: Alright guys, the experts have established that rifles are a better choice for their increased power so if any--- Yes Ms. Gara? "I'm afraid of their power" EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR POLICE LIASON.

10/10 A+

I'm pretty sure the difference she noticed was due to the increased powder charge of 9mm NATO, and not the bullet weight.

I have just one sticker, the letters RKBA in an oval like the OBX stickers yuppies have. Actually had some woman ask me if I vacationed on like roakbohah island or something.

Congrats!

CLP will get the job done. Being a 2 in 1 product it will never be as good as a stand-alone cleaner/solvent or oil/grease, but it is certainly enough to keep a handgun running. I personally use MP7 Solvent to clean, a whisper of Militec on a patch through the barrel and SlideGlide on all moving parts.

I think we should consider not "modding" based on abortion stances, as they are just that... stances. No one here is providing facts or lies, so "modding" based on opinions might as well be modding based on popularity. I shouldn't be modded for being an atheist and he or she shouldn't be modded for being gay or pro union or anti-war or pro forced induction or anti vinyl siding etc. I like this forum because it's generally very free of such absurdity. Disussion and disagreement is healthy and should be encouraged, but no one should be modded because of it. We're a small demographic to begin with, why help divide it? With that said, he shouldn't be killed because then he couldn't be abused by the prison inmates regularly for the next 40 years.

Ugggggh I was really looking forward to this, but I'm not so sure I can make it. Taking the GF to a concert (xmas present) Saturday night in Wilkes-Barre. I think she wants to get a hotel to celebrate V-Day (we don't live together a night together is a treat)... but I find myself hoping she'll decide against it. When I know for sure I'll post, looking 50/50 at the moment. Oh lord I think I just chose IDPA over tits.

We should be careful, if the Brady Bunch and Peta get wind of this we might have an "Improving Working Conditions For Wildlife Inside Deadly Firearms Act" on our hands.

You don't need to lube your mags, although I would highly recommend disassembling and cleaning them with a bit of CLP and a nylon brush. Sometimes the factory leaves some weird oily-gritty gunk in them.
