Houston I think I have a problem
Funny. I entertained the same question. Our young friend seems to be quite adept at the internet's equivalent of a drive by shooting. Several flurries of short,frequently ill composed posts seemingly designed to incite then silence only to be followed by another short flurry of posts.

Brand new and looking for some advise
"REVOLVERS have long triggers but are easier to load at the range & you can shoot 38 OR 357" You wrote it so read it back to yourself and put yourself in a new shooters shoes....see why I asked?

Need advice for future handgun purchase
BlueLineFish uses a P250 as a off duty gun and likes it very much from what I've gathered. I on the other hand purchased it as a primary HD firearm and thought it innovative with the ability to exchange calibers,frames and whole platforms as well as the Sig reputation. My wife found it difficult to rack the slide,the long but admittedly linear trigger took practice to consistently get tight groups and the mags,caliber/chassis kits rare and expensive. I fear the P250 will be the considered a grand experiment that failed and regulated to the discount bin.

...so ALL revolvers accommodate solely .38 and .357 ammo? and 9mm shoots like or slightly above .22 caliber pistols?

Weapons World Ammo Sale
I wish it was that simple....I have a history of going perhaps a bit overboard {my current collection of chef's knives stand at 32 even after giving some away} so she found the 4k of 9mm in my closet but has yet to find the .38s and .357s in the garage.I'm a man under constant surveillance.

The Sig P250 is a good bedside gun but not much else IMHO.

Need to carry pistol permit whenever you go shoot?
This applies for the FID and I do also but I believe we're discussing carrying your P2P pink sheets or a copy.

Winchester White Box (Walmart Easton PA purchases) lengthy.
I figured as much but as you've already guessed, it offers me an excuse to buy a set of calipers and poke around HF.

Is there a simple way to identify such ammo? I've already shot 300 rounds of this white box ammo without incident on both of my 9 mm but trying to understand what could have happened and what to do if it does.

Suggest a Smartphone
Nope. same connectors as the Iphone and Ipad can use either plug connectors to at least recharge devices. the Iphone 5 will have a completely different recharge mini plug set up where all previous charging bases,radio/stereo interfaces will be unusable for the next generations of phone/pod/pad electronics.

In the market for a work knife
I now alternate between the Kershaw 1970 Burst and the 1830 Oso Sweet ,both excellent knives, ever since they discontinued the 1730's Zing models.I paid $19.95 each with the shipping,they are sharp,strong and reliable, at less than 20 bucks a piece I'm not overly put out if I should lose or break them as I'm in the habit of doing.

Suggest a Smartphone
One of the issues with the new Iphones is that they are supposedly going to be released with a new Mini Plug making all other iphone accessories obsolete.

Treating Range Accident?
In addition to a basic first aid kit, I also carry a eyewash kit which includes a sterile saline solution and a eye cup.

Need to carry pistol permit whenever you go shoot?
Like the Wombat, I carry copies of my pinks in my range bag but I tend to agree with Woodentoe also. If it's come to the point where I'm in the position of having to pull them out to varify ownership or legality chances are the shit has already hit the fan.

fingerprinting every 5 yrs.?
I just put in for a round of P2Ps last week in Monroe and the detective said it was every 5 years in this township. I did have to get refingerprinted when I moved from East Brunswick even though it was only 8 months before that I had them done for my initial FID.So we'll have to conclude that as is so often the case each township's CLEO makes it up as they see fit......Laws be damned.

Were We Warned About Holmes Before Aurora Shooting?
Yet precious little is said about the Psychiatric community and the apparent shortcomings in diagnosis,treatment and managed care for such individuals. But the authorities and anti gunners fully expect some salesman with little more than a gut instinct and a cumbersome background check to weed out the crazies.......Trying to wrap my head around this concept makes me fear for my sanity.

My prediction-handgun ban/higher restrictions
Your point is valid and I agree but regardless of the strides we've made as gun owners nationwide and we've definitely gained ground,I think it unlikely that at least an attempt will not be made,If not on guns, at the very least on the peripherals.Ammo is an easy target.
-
My prediction-handgun ban/higher restrictions
New York Times article basically saying it's unrealistic to believe that guns can be gotten rid of but bullets on the other hand can be taxed to the point of ridiculousness. "Guns don't kill people...bullets do".
