Any of you ever buy a bun solely out of cool-factor? Lately I've been buying a bunch of full sizes telling myself I should only get guns I know I will use in competition. But that limits you to full sizes generally and big ugly guns like the G34 (yes I own one). I stayed away from many guns I wanted because of this "gaming" mentality I developed. Now I'm thinking enough with the full sizes and time to have some fun. I'm looking into the XDS, the Sig 938, some type of snubby revolver, and just anything that is different and cool though my fascination is with small subcompact/pocket guns. What is on your "fun" gun list?

Is the re release of the 228 just a rumor or is it true?

What is "clogging" that they refer to?

Only when in transit directly to and from the restroom and I think you need a permit if said restroom is public.

Anyone notice it when he won in 2008? I've only been reloading a little over a year or so. Shooting for a little over 2. So not sure how the election/politics affect pricing on reloading components. Everyone is saying ammo prices will go up, so just seeing if this carries over to reloading supplies as well.

Thanks. And start reloading your own ammo, haha.

Pardon my ignorance, but did Obama do anything this time around that made gun laws stricter? I've only been shooting two years so I'm sure I've missed a lot. Was there any particular democratic (or republican) presidency that greatly affected gun ownership?

Hmm, Obama won so guess this hobby is gonna remain expensive? Is that how it works?

No matter what happens my addiction to guns and ammo will not change. Do crack fiens change their using habits when prices go up and laws get stricter for possession? I rest my case.

I'm sure they're not legal. And good point on the sunlight. Just seeing if it offered a distinct advantage. I never tried but to me it seems more like a night time/dark setting aid to target acquisition.

I save mine and it's probably a good few hundred now. Would hate for it to go to waste. It took entirely too long using a carrier unit built for large primers. It's not worth the time doing it my bootleg way. I'm hoping someone can confirm a hand primer is better. Though hand priming 300 casings sounds like a task as well.

For those of you who shoot competively regularly have you ever experimented with a laser to see if you can shoot faster or if it makes you more accurate? I was just wondering if anyone has ever run something like ElPres or a steel stage like smoke n hope with a laser and noticed a difference. Or does the laser maybe slow you down?

6Haha, that's one way to cut line. "My number is 223/556 so I'm good for both days."

Yes I've even heard in K frames it is rough on them. That's why I considered the 627 as it is an N frame and probably can take 357 without an issue as I believe they use that frame for 44s. One day I really do want a small snubby though. My thought is if you can't practice all that much with 357 mag does it make more sense just to get one in 38/38+p? They are much cheaper.

Is this the best solution for priming the 45acp casings that use a small pistol primer? I have been putting small primers into the tray on my Lee Pro 1000. You have to do some gentle wiggling and eventually they seat, but the process is far from smooth and you get frequent jams. I thought about getting a hand priming tool for all the small primer 45 casings. Is this a good idea? Will it work?

I heard the J Frames aren't really meant to take a lot of 357 mag. If you shoot a lot through them they start to get loose over time. For those of you with experience with revolvers, what do you think the appx round count is with 357 mag before you start seeing this type of wear and tear? Question two: How many rounds can you take in a range session of 357 mag in a small J Frame/Small snubby type revolver? I shot a 686 and it was pretty rough, maybe I can take a little more now as that was early when I first started shooting. Is it not practical to practice a lot with 357 mag in a J Frame?

I got a chance to shoot the 229. It was actually the older model with the half serrations. Maybe it was just in my head but I felt like I shot it better a little bit. I had not shot for a while and it was very accurately and it felt natural. Unfortunately I did not have my 228 to do a side by side comparison. I'm leaning toward getting the 229 but that would mean the 228 would have to go.

Alec, that's pretty insane to have a revolver with a 4.5lb/1lb DA/SA. Very nice. I don't like the idea of having to use a specific type of primer/ammo though. What do you think the minimum lb trigger pull you would need to fire off factory ammo?

Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! I don't know bout you guys but things sitting in my safe only make me happy when they're OUT of the safe!

Was it really loud? Or just sounded like a normal gun shot? Glad to see he is OK. Will the Glock make it? Any frame/lower damage?

congrats! Great gun. The D spring makes a difference. You will like it.

I haven't heard anything but that would be great if it were true. I've seen the paradox get modded to be a normal balisong but I've heard it's not worth the trouble. You're better off just buying an actual balisong. At the Paradox price range the Bradley Kimura is a much better buy.

Good intentions... Isn't that what the path to hell is paved with. Least that's what I heard.

Now I want to try this. Never shot +p before. I wish it weren't so expensive. I thought about reloading some hot loads but I'm a little nervous.

That makes sense, but seems to be effective in saving weight. I wonder how much lighhhter a Glock would be built like this. Also wonder if that design works on other calibers.
