Number of rounds fired in used guns...Are sellers truthful?
I guess I don't have hard proof for this, but I would wager people are pretty honest about the round count. I would also say on average most guns are not shot all that much. The only guns that are shot a lot are competition guns. And most people don't compete. Even if they do they may not do it all that often. Even a pistol owned by a cop may not see that much action even with all the training. Guess it depends on what you count as a lot. LIke Maks said, 500-1000 is just about the equivalent of new in my book. 5000-10,000 is light/moderate use. Not enough to really do anything significant to the gun. Maybe a recoil spring change and that's it.

Glock 26 vs 27?
Good choice with the 26. I rented a 27 and couldn't go through a half box of ammo till I sent it back. It's just too small of frame for a 40sw. It's not impossible to control, but it's not pleasant. The 26 on the other hand you can shoot all day. The only difference between my 26 and the 34 is that the 34 has faster follow up shots. Accuracy I am actually about the same. That says a lot for such a small pistol.

Know Anything About These 2 NJ Gun Cases?
Did not hear about them but those are some crazy stories. Law abiding citizens who are pretty much having their lives ruined (at least momentarily) for absolutely nothing. I don't understand the first one. Why did they barge in in the first place? And how do they just put a man in jail for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for 30 days? He may lose his job he just got. I mean this action hurts a person severely from all angles. The second story is nuts too. I don't get how you can just make a statement that someone was acting up and suddenly they are a "terrorist threats"? So I can just call the police on my neighbor if I don't like him and BAM just like that police can confiscate all his guns, and take him in? It's THAT easy? All of this is quite scary.

REMINGTON R1
I shot one a couple times. Very nice 1911 especially for the price. I do think the trigger was a little on the stiff side. I wouldn't call it a bad trigger. Just a felt a little heavy for a 1911. I am used to my Kimber TLE RL II. That being said I wouldn't say it was hard to shoot or anything. Still very accurate. If I were to go with a Remington I'd go with the R1 Enhanced model.

STI Spartan 9mm
I'm kinda confused. Does the Spartan come with front serrations or not? I see some pics with and others without. Dawson site shows without, JoeBobs shows with. Which is it?

Would a comp at the end of a 15-22 even make a difference?
I saw that some models of the M&P 15-22 can take brakes/comps. If you put a comp at the end of a 22lr rifle would you even feel a difference? Edit: Now that I think about it I have shot 22 through my upper with a Dynacomp. I was using a conversion kit. But I never shot a regular 15-22.

Just sharing a story about a friend and former co-worker of mine.
Sorry to hear about your friend, man that is unfortunate and senseless. Gun laws definitely didn't help him. We have strict laws and it didn't stop that criminal from carrying ILLEGALLY and shooting your friend.

Safest way to protect your child
Never understood the whole "selfish" thing if someone chooses not to have kids. I find that a repulsive, ignorant statement. If you judge someone based on their decision to not have kids you are in fact a judgmental douche. So what if someone is not ready to have a kid for whatever reason? They don't feel they would give that child their best? That's selfish? I actually thing that is being thoughtful and having a bit of foresight. And in my not so humble opinion parents are actually selfish. The act of having children can become the most selfish, self centered act. Some people have kids and then expect those kids to be EXACTLY like themselves. They want them to wear what THEY want them to wear and become what THEY want them to become. It's like third party narcissism. It's sickening. And above all it's SELFISH! BTW I have two boys. Can't stand it when parents tell couples with no kids to have kids. Like they're life is incomplete and they are missing out. I love my kids, but it's a personal decision. Off topic rant over.

Done... Now I Gotta Shoot It!!
Is it comped? That is an interesting safety design. Kinda gives your thumb a lower resting spot. Let us know how it shoots!

Will NJ go to 10 rounds IYHO?
If you keep your 10+ mags if this bill passes where can you use them outside of the home? Lot's of ranges get a bit strict with compliance to NJ gun laws. If your'e spotted they'll either ask you to stop using it, leave, or worse yet notify authorities. I know Range 14 has asked me bout my mags twice. I'm not saying to give up/comply, just gave it some thought and realized regardless of what you choose it's a major PIA either way.

How frequently do you shoot your firearms?
Lately just two to three times a month. Kind of good thing cause it ensures my reloading supplies will last till the end of the year and then some. Hopefully by then all this nonsense will blow over.

keep Your SA Up......
I'd agree. A lot of my friends that live in more rural areas do this. It's pretty common really. Lot's of people leave loaded guns in cars as well and of course lock up the car. What's the difference? I'd just say as others have before that the one major risk is theft.

Woman allowed to board plane with tazer
I'm sure plenty of other things get on the plane and get missed. I've gone through court metal detectors and every single time the cops miss the knife on my keychain. Not exactly the same thing though. But in all seriousness have you seen the people that work for TSA? Are you really that surprised?

It's a good channel and he has good info. I think that should be a positive project.

Gun Pictures question
I use google picasa to upload a lot of my pics and just link the pics to the album. And like DSD said, the pen/shell is just to prop the gun up. Personally I like to use objects or methods that do not detract from the picture itself.

What would happen?
I agree with this. Though maybe the quote you responded to was sarcastic.

TSA to allow small pocketknives back on airplanes
I'm surprised some people find this a step backward. If you're against this then why are you for CCW laws? How can one be for carrying a gun anywhere, but not a knife (and a small one at that) on a plane? Personally I like the new regulation cause I forget my Spyderco bug on my keychain all the time and would hate for that to be taken.
