Bullet Tumble out of PX4
Rarely hear about any problems with the PX4, on any level. I would try some factory 9mm (speer, Winchester, federal, etc) and see what happens. I willing to bet it's the ammo.

WTF ...want a glock 25 , "your killin' me smalls"...
They were never imported to the US. I forget exactly why, but it had something to do with import requirements. Anyway, forget the Glock 25, its just not going to happen. How about the Walther PK380?

You want light recoiling .380? Try the Beretta Cheetah. As big as the Glock 19 and all metal.

Shopping for my first Beretta
The M9 has that classic straight dust cover. The 92FS has the slanted dust cover. I like the straight dust cover look much more. The M9 also has "US 9mm / M9" on the frame and slide, and a unique M9 serial #. Also, the M9 has no lawyer mumbo jumbo warnings on the on the frame, the 92FS does. The new 92FS Inox models use the straight dust cover M9 frame. Beretta went to the straight dust cover M9 frame for the Inox once they discontinued the 96Fs, which required the slanted dust cover for extra strength. Real nice looking if you want something a little different.

Glock 19
Glock rates the factory stock trigger at 5.5lbs, the NY1 spring is said to make it an 8lb trigger. I have a couple Glocks and a Lyman digital scale to measure pull weight. I find the average stock Glock trigger to be around 7.5lbs. With the NY1 spring installed it bumps it up to about 10lbs. Just an FYI.

Striker Fired Guns: Which have springs that are fully or half cocked?
PPQ = Quick Defense Trigger (fully pre-cocked, fairly light pull at 5.5 lbs., extremely short trigger reset of 0.1" between shots) So they call their trigger a QDT. It "is" a SAO only pistol with no decocker or manual safety. Now I know why everyone raves about the trigger, most if not all SA triggers are fantastic. I like it! BTW, it would be no different then carrying a 1911 cocked an unlocked (1911 still has a grip safety though) or a Beretta 92FS/PX4 Type F with the trigger in SA mode.

Question for the small engine experts
Carb float is probably stuck. If you have the skills, take carb apart, clean everything, reassemble. Should be good to go.

Striker Fired Guns: Which have springs that are fully or half cocked?
Can anyone confirm the PPQ is 100% fully-cocked? This would make it by definition a SAO only pistol. It might be the only SAO pistol around with no manual safety or decocker. I'm interested at this point.

I pretty sure all modern striker fired pistols are pre-cocked. They have to be to be considered DOA. If any where to be fully-cocked, they would be a SAO pistol.

DC Handgun Carry Ban Overturned!
Yeah great, be reasonable and fair to the completely unreasonable and unfair. It took 5yrs for a decision, now Guara wants to be accommodating?

DC Handgun Carry Ban Overturned!
I'll apply. But it would make more sense to get 1,000 or so to apply at the same time. A 1,000+ denials will make a court case much stonger.

DC Handgun Carry Ban Overturned!
I like the part of the ruling that DC has to recognize all out of state permits. That could be used against NJ's scheme. That could be positive for us.

Coyotes in Parsippany
I think that might be the same one that ran across my front lawn in Whippany last week. At first I thought it was a dog too. Then I thought large red fox, but it was a little too big for a fox and it was out during the day. I do know it was fast. Now my neighbors cat is missing....
