Are unfired guns worth more than fired ones?
I don't know for collectables. Probably impacts it a little more. Your run of the mill Glocks, M&Ps and standard production guns don't seem to matter that much since the difference between new and used is maybe only $100 at most to begin with.
- Any reason why ParaUSA lowers are so pricey?

Next revolver ideas - thinking big
Holy CRAP! 43gr, that's like enough powder to do 8-10 9mm rounds just to put it into perspective. 350gr at 1900fps is more powerful than the Hornady Slugs I just bought for my 870. Those are 300gr at 2000fps. That's just insane to have that much power in a handgun.

My new addition home from Heritage Guild Friday
Guys that own this, you have any pics with alternate grips? I"m assuming anything that fits the standard SP101 would fit. Seems like a great 22 revolver. I think they have one at ShoreShot for rent.

454 Casull! OK, I don't have experience with it I admit. But I was next to a guy shooting one and it was like a tank firing off each time. Sounded fun to me! I'm not 100% sure but I think it was the Ruger Redhawk Alaskan http://www.ruger.com/products/superRedhawkAlaskan/specSheets/5301.html

Have the recent events made you consider reloading?
I did not notice a spike in prices for bullets, powder. For pistol. Primers are a little more scarce and a bit more expensive.

Beretta 92fs "D" hammer spring is fantastic!
Mine is setting off Tula and Wolf primers which are hard. I get light strikes with the Glock sometimes with Tula/Wolf. But with my 92G and the 'D' Spring I have not had any.

Flu and Flu shots
Is that legal to penalize an employee due to not being able to perform work from an injury?

My new 1911
Check out your manual. It may mention a break in period. I have a Kimber and it said 250-500 which is a little ridiculous in my opinion. But I think typically around 200 is a decent break in.

James Yeager rocks you say?
I don't know the best answer to the question, but NOT telling people you will kill them is a good start.

15 round 9 mm Glock Magazines
Like HD mentioned the aftermarket KCIs are ok. I saw CDNN listing them for sale in the mailer they send me recently. But I dont' know if they have anymore in stock.

Wife got pulled over
I got pulled over and got ticket for "bad front tires" even though the wear bar still clearly visible. So yeah you can get petty tickets. I get them quite often. I've now just considered it the premium you have to pay to have the "privilege" to drive.

Outdoor range help (No membership)
I think skeet/trap is something like $6 a round (25 birds). Ft. Dix is great. Pretty much a walk on spot, but yes you have to pay $60 to join and $4/hour thereafter (per person including members).

9mm Ammo choices
The Ultramax stuff I find at Dicks sometimes is decent stuff. I think $65 for 250 rounds. Probably the best local price you can get.

Others shooting your reloads
I've let my friends shoot thousands of my reloads. The only time I will not use my reloads is when someone is letting me shoot their gun. In that case I will only use factory. It's not because I don't trust my reloads, it's out of respect for their property. Some people do not want reloads in their gun so I stick with factory.

Have the recent events made you consider reloading?
It is a very rewarding hobby that's for sure. I know it sounds weird, but I feel it makes you appreciate the sport of shooting more even though reloading itself is not a sport. I guess it's because it makes you understand the ins and outs of your ammo, how it works, why it works, why it does not work. You understand accuracy, recoil, and what makes your gun tick. It's more intricate than I think people really know or understand. It's much more than just shooting more and saving money

NICS still taking 8 years to transfer a firearm?
I mean more the whole process of finding off time to go to the shop, find it in stock, filling out the paperwork, then possibly having to drive back to pick it up. Kinda a PIA. I agree the paperwork alone isn't too horrible.

NICS still taking 8 years to transfer a firearm?
I agree it s pretty bad service. I suppose I have not because I am not in a rush and really dont feel Like going through the process all over again.

Have the recent events made you consider reloading?
So who here who does not currently reload is now considering it due to the Increase price and decrease in availability of factory ammo? I'm wondering If we will see more people enter into this sub hobby if things continue the way They are.

500 yard ranges
Kind of a weird question but how often do you change targets at 1000yds? I was changing at fort six at 150yds and getting winded. LO L!
