Remember as we get older we don't bounce, I don't bounce and it hurts more than I remember when I was younger. Harry

If ya got to take a test, well just saying. lol Harry

If you really want to dedicate a handgun for HD only I would suggest a Highpoint for 2 reasons only. 1st after you break it in and clean it it is a very reliable gun, second if you ever have to use it and after the shooting the police take it for an undetermined period of time, who really cares it's a sub 200 dollar gun. Oops 3rd point, forgot if by chance it didn't stop the threat it's big enough and heavy enough to beat them down with it when you run out of ammo. Harry

Fantastic, great to see, keep up the good work. Harry

Welcome to the Forum. Harry

No, not needed and not a law, or even a guideline. Harry

Than you should be able to appreciate this: Harry

Puerto Plata is very good if you know where to stay but there are some crappy resorts and some times I have found out it can also be the time of year for some of them but with my wife being from there and she also owns her own travel agency she has the best info. If you try Punta Cana you will be surprised, it's more catered to the visitor than either SDQ of POP, and more isolated from the towns, most of the staff who work there like the other resorts live at the resort but when they go home to there families for the few days off a month they get, most have to travel quite a distance. I also say that area is probably the safest out of the 3 major vacation locations on the island and to add there are 2 airports servicing the resort location. Harry

Wow, all that explanation when you could have told me to Read it it's on the web page dummy, lol, have no idea how I missed that. Thank you I'll probably skip this time around but be looking in the future. By the way I would most likely be looking at 40 S&W as my first caliber when I start reloading but want to get more infor on bullet weights and powerd combos before I stick myself with something I may not like in my CZ. Harry

And if your single a lot of things to do. lol I go a bunch of times a year, have family outside of the Santiago area and can just relax at the house with no worries but we do carry when there, mostly my BIL and OL being they can legally there but not me, but have access if something goes down, that fully loaded drum mag on the Siaga 12 is a good for clearing an area. There is a funny restriction on firearms down there, Military/Police are the only ones allowed to have a 45's, all we can own is 40's and smaller. Harry

May I recommend the Punta Cana area on the east end of the island in the Dominican Republic, never had a bad time there, good food, top shelf liquor at most places, good entertainment, facilities and music. I do have an advantage there, my OL is from DR and both my daughter and wife speak Spanish, I know enough to know what they are saying but don't let out what I do know to keep that advantage. lol Harry

Lather machining seems to me that it would be too touchy with keeping them in tolerances, I'd bet they are just saying lathe but actually made on a Swiss Screw Machine, much more precise and a lot quicker in production, cheaper also being as soon as you have the machine setup it runs itself and the operator only need to check a part here and there for spec as well as change out for a new bar of material. ETA, just checked out their website, I may be wrong but with CNC this and that it still may be a cross bread of a lathe and Swiss Screw Machine. things may have changed in this new age of CNC controlled machines, a lot different from when I would be at my fathers shop making something inthe 70's and 80's. Harry

I always have a blast in the Cancun area, While I do prefer the Dominican Republic any place away from work and the daily grind is good for me. Especially 99% of the resorts at both locations are all inclusive. Harry

Stupid question but I can't find it on the site and new to any reloading supplies but I see a box is 1k but how many in a case? I'd assume 3K but you know what they say when you assume. Harry

Pic's or it didn't happen.... lol Really nice pick up. Harry

I'll see if I can work it out, I just might take a ride over there on the bike just to say hi if I am free at 1500. Harry

Like jOn said , no link, but one thing is to remember is you might not want just hid a gun if kids are in the house, kids will be kids and the law is the law. ETA: Now that I see the link, very nice and I want one. Harry

One more thing, these days a lot of battery's are maintains free, well that what they say but if you remove the covers you can still see if any cells are low on fluid, you can top that off with distilled water and see if that works, but also if the battery is 5 year old or more than it could be going anyway, all the advice I gave is free to do, the cheapest way to isolate issues, you can get methodical after that. <G> Harry

Moe than likely if is just cropped up it's probably a battery going on you. One thing to check first is the battery connections, especially the neg side, make sure the connections are clean and tight, also the ground connection off the battery. Also before you go and start thinking about replacing anything other than the battery get our your meter, see what the battery has with the car off, then check with the car running, if is at 14.2 to about 14.8 that;s good, below that or above that and you could have an under or over charging situation and a new battery wouldn't last long any way. One more thin you can do and this is also free to do like my first check, is a load check at an auto parts place, 99.9999% of them do it for free and that will really tell you if the battery is good or not. Keep us posted and let us know how you make out. Harry

If they are legally his yes he could but he would be bound by the rule of the airline he is traveling on. I think many airline may restrict the number of firearms that you can transport so I would check on that before you used that option. Also reading down the thread, why is it that I can own a gun and ship them via FedEx or UPS and not use a FFL, why would you not be able to ship them to yourself the day you fly, you would beat the package home, right, also probably cheaper than the check-in charges the airlines would change anyway. Harry

Maybe after I get off of work I might stop by the range but that won't be until after 1500 and that depends on if the wife and kid want to shoot outside or indoors. Either way, I will get out there, I want to meet this kid your are mentoring, he sound like a good kid. Harry

I have one of them keepers also and understand. Like they say if momma ain't happy nobody's happy. I think I figured out the problem, mags are for a CZ 75 TS, Had a little play with the top bullet and figured the top ears of the mag weren't holding well enough to only feed one round at a time and was allowing a second to get try and get chambered. Tightened them up a little and it worked fine on the next stage. Harry

More boating accidents, huh... Harry

Jon, How did you like the LnL before the case feeder, I have been flipping the coin on either the Dillon 650 and the LnL. Also if you have any knowledge of the Dillon 650 vs LnL I'd be interested in hearing your view or anyone else who has this knowledge. Harry

Mine 39-A has a production year of 1983, the other one that will be passed down from my father was made I think it was 1956 or 58, can't remember but both are in perfect condition and will stay that way when until I pass them to my daughter. If I have rifles at the range it will be one of the ones I have and you are welcome to shoot it anytime. Harry
