I highly doubt it, you would break the 180 rule big time not matter what and cross everyone in the range on one side of you. They do have some bulldog holsters there that work for the P22 the last time I was there. Harry

Just ordered my new Comp Rig!!! Check it out
Just wondering, how often that really happens? I am new at this and did order up some nice stuff, but I usually do that with most things I do, I find that buying something that is quality and will last is actually a lot cheaper in the long run. I think if you can you get quality things, helps with the learning curve, and some times if it doesn't function as well as it can can discourage people from staying with it. Just my opinion. As they say, buy once, cry once.... Harry

Springfield 1911 Magazines from the Coupon When you buy a gun??
The SS = Single Stack not stainless steel and the other one is a double stack. It would all depend on what one fit your gun. Harry

Thinking about getting into Reloading
Thanks for the offer, I'll keep that in mind, but for now the money tree needs to grow more leaves, just planning for later in the summer. Harry

Haggling?
First I would factor in all the associated costs, transfer, tax, shipping (the total out the door price) vs. the stores out the door price. For 20 bucks or maybe even a little more depending on the total cost would be the deciding factor on haggling or not and probably not with a place I feel treats me right. I also keep in mind that a local shop, store, FFL is worth more to me than a few buck to destroy or not maintain a good relationship with. Harry

Thinking about getting into Reloading
I have read over a few pages of posts in this section and have been thinking about getting into this later in the summer, a lot of information to absorb and plenty of research to do before I do make any decisions. As far as equipment I have been looking at Dillan products with Hornady coming in a close second at the moment. Here is what i am planning to reload if I do this, Mostly 40 cal and maybe 9mm, both would mainly for USPSA and steel is my thoughts, and also practice ammo so I am used to it when I do shoot a match. Was thinking about 380 but I have a couple thousand rounds and I don't shoot it that often, so I think it would cost more to set up than it would be worth so I'll just plan 2 different calibers for handgun ammo. I may think about 30-30 being I also shoot that on occasion and for what i can get 7.62x54 for in bulk and the amount of shooting I would be doing, I'd skip that for now also, but I did want to mention the Rifle ammo being it would play a factor in what setup I would put together. Now here is 1 of the 2 questions, I have been thinking about shooting clays, I have never done it, but I know from watching it and I know myself, as soon as I do it I will probably have another money sucking thing to add to all the others I have. Now the second question, I mainly shoot USAammo new products, I was wondering if this was worth saving my old brass now and start being a brass whore with it. I also shoot WWB and Speer Lawman that I planned on saving. Also with the brass I save, what is the number of times you can reload it, I know it would be the condition of each piece of brass but on average how many time can you safely reload them. Keep in mind I would be planning to load for power factor to keep it as close as possible, not looking to start turning out +P+ stuff. Sorry if this has been covered before, but I have only read about 4 pages in this section so far. Harry

OAL 9mm...Usable ammo?
Caliper are ok for this application but if your not used to using one or you have not used one often just like shooting, you need to practice. Many people who use them can measure something 3 different times and get 3 different reading. Calipers are not really that accurate but best for this application. Same stands true for micrometers, need to practice. There is a feel that you need to learn to get the most precise measurement. A good way to practice is to get a bunch of different drills and measure them and see how you do, get the feel for it and see how long it takes to keep getting the same measurement. Harry

1st handgun purchase
If I could only have 1 gun it would be a revolver. Now that that is out of the way, being that you have been shooting a bit at the range I would also hope you have had the chance to shoot more than just one gun. The best first gun if your planning on getting more than 1 would be what feels the best and what you are most comfortable shooting, and it sounds like you have been using a Semi. For cost of shooting, I would recommend 9mm as long as a 22LR pistol wasn't also in the mix, than go from there. As far a a 9mm revolver I have not held one or seen one but haven't been looking either, but there are a few I have herd about, I think it was a Taurus. Either way, shoot both before you make a decision and shoot the gun you want to buy before you buy it, and Shore Shot is a good place to do that. Harry

Egg Shaped Bullet Holes
Well just to bump this up and report back, I have been unable to duplicate what happened so no pictures needed, we have all seen round bullet holes in cardboard. Could have been just an odd angle or something just with a few rounds that were noticed. No sure, but everything is good and I did learn a few things in the process. Thanks, Harry

DVOR
For anyone who has thought about these DVOR will have them available Monday. I just ordered a set of these this past week, no not from DVOR and I'll probably be very upset when I see the price on Monday but just the same, I have only played with them 1 day so far, but it is a very nice system. The ones I have are the type that you insert into the gun, not the one that goes in from the front and hangs out, I don't know how they work, but I can say the (I think the model number are LT-9 and LT-40) ones I have are great. DVOR Harry
