I see what you did there. lol I'd love to be there but can only shoot one of the two days this weekend and I think we're going to shoot USPSA on Sunday. Less bending over picking up steel...

I dunno. Between the two of us I can hardly afford to shoot 9....I can't imagine how expensive 40 or 45 would run. This friken hobby is expensive. And to think I sold my boat and all but stopped fishing because I thought this would be cheaper. dope....

As a new shooter my plan was to mirror my 9mm platforms in .22lr, so that we (2 shooters) could practice with 22 and then compete in USPSA with 9mm. So far I've done that (92FS in 9 plus practice kit and M&P 9 pro and a M&P 22). And for us, that's really I'm I'm looking for caliber wise. 9mm provides a sufficent center fire load for events and 22 on the cheap and for steel. Our ammo is streamlined and our desires fullfilled. Naturally this may change as we get more experienced but for now 2 calibers fit the bill.

Good job noob...wasting bandwith like that. Everytime you post something bad Max kills a turtle. Think of the turtles...

Thanks Jon. You've got me thinking now. I was leaning towards kydex because that's what I've got for everything else, but your idea, or even just a cheap nylon pouch will work for my applicatiion. It would be nice to wear magazines while doing drills down at the range or for OBRams. This little M&P22 is a hoot. Such a fun gun.

Good Morning forum. Can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier for a double magazine pouch that will accept the magazines for Smith and Wesson M&P 22? I've found a Kydex holster so I'm set there, but since the magazines are thin...similar to a Browning Buckmark or a Ruger MK type I'm having a hard time finding what I think will work.

Even at 720 it's outstanding, but yeah...1080 is brilliant. Might have something to do with the shooter too. : ) What does a set up like that run? Seems like a fun toy.

Milsan...you did outstanding for your first match. It was a pleasure shooting with you. My kid beat me by in the pistol class by 1.05. Argh! I still smoked him with the rifles...but I'm going to get my balls pounded flat losing to him with the pistola. Alex shot some video of the kid in action.

I don't know if the match directors have any rifle restriction for Steel...they very well may, but Cowboy Action shoot pistol caliber rifles during their events. As well, the draw and fire "Special Use" badge allows members to shoot pistol caliber rifles in the pits provided the ammo is less than 1,000 FPS velocity. My advice ....bring the rifle and ask a match director.

We will be there. I got a M&P22 for the boy and he'll also shoot his Henry lever gun. I'm going to shoot the 92FS in 22 as well, and dust off my fathers old 22 pump action gun, and show the kid how its done...old school.

Nicely done, again. Bob wrote a great response last year in response to the Movie Theater shooting. Like this one, that too was spot on.

Letter of the law? No. Not at least according to my understanding after reading it. What was your opinion?

Welcome neighbor.

Always nice to meet nice people who are willing to extend themselves. MSG73 responded to my WTB thread and offered up his MP22 and extra magazines and once the deal was struck he even offered to meet me half way at Bullet Hole to share some range time and let me test drive the new toy. I ran a little late but we were able to spend a few minutes chatting. Can't say enough nice things about the guy.

I've been at a loss to discuss this at all. The sadness is compounded by anger at the uninformed and knee jerk comments that people make. The whole thing sickens me.

My town is generally overnight. Drop them off and you get a call in a day or so. I suppose if I knew that the Chief was in his office I could ask them to get them signed while I wait, but it's not something I've had the need to try.

We be out manyana. Sorry....

Muffintop...lolz That still cracks me up. : )

Game time decision Bud. I really hoped to have purchased the M&P22 for the boy by now. Meh...

He wanted to weight the dart with a copper BB which is less than 3/8's. It wasn't then something I was looking to debate about and certainly not something to worry about now. He's moved on from Nerf and now we shoot the real stuff. Reloading comes next.

Modding the nerf wasn't the issue. Using a solid BB as a projectile turned it into a firearm. We can debate it all day long and wind up right back where we started. The definition of a firearm is posted above. I saw enough similarity at the time to decide it wasn't worth it. And since then he's moved passed modding nerfs and now were doing the real thing. : ) I have to tell you...the modding stuff was pretty cool. He could get a regualr nerf gun to shoot a dart up to 50 feet.

You sure about that? Keep in mind that the Crossman BB gun we grew up with is a firearm in NJ... f. "Firearm" means any handgun, rifle, shotgun, machine gun, automatic or semi-automatic rifle, or any gun, device or instrument in the nature of a weapon from which may be fired or ejected any solid projectable ball, slug, pellet, missile or bullet, or any gas, vapor or other noxious thing, by means of a cartridge or shell or by the action of an explosive or the igniting of flammable or explosive substances. It shall also include, without limitation, any firearm which is in the nature of an air gun, spring gun or pistol or other weapon of a similar nature in which the propelling force is a spring, elastic band, carbon dioxide, compressed or other gas or vapor, air or compressed air, or is ignited by compressed air, and ejecting a bullet or missile smaller than three eighths of an inch in diameter, with sufficient force to injure a person.

I think you'd be out of your mind. But, I haven't read the laws with the intent of looking for an angle where I could build my own gun. What I will tell you is that a while ago I was on a quest with my son to find copper "BB's." He..my son...was active in modifying Nerf guns and he also made his own darts. Part of the modification process was to replace the plastic nerf barrel with a copper pipe..similar to what is used in plumbing...and the other part of the modification was attaching an airsoft bb's with some hot glue to the head of the dart to give it some weight. He...my son....figured that since an old fashio BB weighed more than an air soft bb his darts would go farther. Innocent enough, right? Well, when I mentioned this to the guy at the gun shop his eyes lite up. And not in a good way. Metal projectile in a metal barrel? You just built a gun. Hello ATF. Your milage may vary...

Jim mentioned something about this on Sunday. As I recall...VERY limited space....30 shooters or something like that. OB members w/USPSA membership had priority, followed by OB members who wanted to join USPSA followed by everyone else.
