Ruger MkIII Hunter
By all means, feel out the stock trigger for a while, there's no rush. Mine was a little wiggly in the frame and the trigger, plunger and disconnect didn't seem to mate well. All that made for a trigger that, out of the box, didn't reset about 10 to 15% of the time. If you're dry firing your new rimfire, what are you doing to protect the firing pin? If you've got that covered, try cycling the action before releasing the trigger and feel where it resets. CCI minimags are the best to feed her, but can be expensive. I like federal 500 bulk and winchester 333 bricks. The remington small game loads have me a ridiculous amount of misfire duds, and I've had to pick a couple out of the chamber because the ejector couldn't find the rim. Since break in, I can't say I've had any ftf or fte on any of the bulk (except the remington fte's), but the minimags never have me an issue.

Ruger MkIII Hunter
I like my Mk III Target. It's definitely a fun, accurate shooter, but out of the box, the trigger was a sack of junk. The single best mod was a new trigger. I used a stainless Volquartsen with adjustable pre and post-travel and it made a world of difference. Second best mod was ditching the magazine safety so I didn't have to rip the empty magazine out with my fingertips every time. Then on to a nice grip, but that's the easiest mod and all personal preference.

Probably why you should'nt open carry.
My take was that the incident in the op happened before Wisconsin passed concealed carry, so the guy didn't have the option. And he was actively advocating that option.

Somerset IDPA this weekend?
It was a good day. Tom puts together some interesting scenarios that can trip you up if you go on automatic pilot and forget the order. And as a bonus, every scenario was set on a caribbean island. Really, thanks to all the SO's for putting in the effort. For my second time, it was really relaxed and fun.

US LAW TEST
27, a few guesses panned out. I wasn't sure if women had equal rights or if we were more concerned about alcohol. I got that one right. Not much law, more of a civics quiz

It's nice out, whose going shooting today?
Right, nice day. I busted some clays at Mallard today. I'm glad it was so cold for the Lehigh meet last week or y'all would've seen what a nancy I am with a 12 gauge pounding my shoulder without a big winter coat. Today I felt it but good.

Anyone own a Berretta Px4 Storm fullsize and/or compact?
Yeah, I understand properly indexing on the frame, but with a manual safety like the type F, I'm less concerned. I'd seriously consider the Serpa. How well does the Remora stay on place between pants and shirt cloth shifting around?

Can anyone recommend a holster and mag pouches for the PX4?

Somerset IDPA this weekend?
Normally? So you just show up? That didn't work for me my first time. I know running through the setup and safety with a newb is time consuming, but I'd want confirmation that I'm on the list before I plan my day.

Why do you try to distance yourself from the remark and then write a much longer paragraph about why it might be a good idea What your friend recommended is wrong and will screw you. How long do you think it would take for the investigator to talk to your neighbors? When they get 10 witnesses to say that they heard three shots, a pause, and a single final shot... Maybe you can post a case of when a good shooting turned into an execution. (A pharmacy employee was found guilty of murder a couple months back after he stopped the attackers, reloaded, and finished them off.) Then you'll spend the rest of your life trying to make the justice system understand that you fired a warning shot after the the threat was neutralized. Honesty is always the best policy. If you do the right thing you can defend your actions. If you fabricate evidence and lie about the facts, you completely lose your defensible position. I don't know anyone that believes warning shots should ever be made. If I was on a jury, a warning shot would tell me that you did not feel you were in great danger since you had the time to waste on wild unplaced shots. And it wouldn't take 2 minutes for the prosecutor to convince everyone that the final single shot was an execution.- A588 and A1013 - follow up response from Asm D.O. Peterson

Here's the section you want. Page 5 at the bottom: Which also answers the detective's question about "what prevents you from buying two in less than 30 days". You are required to comply with the law. (And NICS would stop you when you go through an FFL.) - What would you do?
