the slide stop does lock back on the final round, yes. It is a walther, not a clone

It was happening with 2 different magazines just the same. I don't think it's the recoil spring because the slide slams home completely it's a ppk/s .380

I am taking it to the FFL to discuss with them and see what they can do. Even if it means getting store credit or something. When I say fail to feed, i mean if you load a mag, pop it in the well with the slide open, and then release the slide, it will not feed the round into the chamber. And the trigger stays pulled all the way back. Even if I tamper with the slide so that I force the round in myself, and then fire, the next round will not be chambered by the blowback. It basically will only chamber if you feed the chamber manually, or once and a while, the slide will catch the round strongly enough to push it in. It's an old PPK/S when it does fire, yes, the spent casing does eject properly. but the next round won't feed.

Do stores permit returns of used gun purchases? i imagine it varies store to store. I don't want to mention the name of the FFL, but I bought a used firearm and just go to the range about 2 weeks after the purchase to try it out (due to there being NO ammo for it) Gun absolutely fails to feed every single time. I am lucky if one round goes off. If it does, the next round absolutely does not feed Are most FFLs reasonable with returns? Or are typically used gun sales final? I can't imagine that being the case- there is no way to test fire a gun at the store

13/13 . Funny how drawings my teacher made in bio on the chalkboard 12 years ago vividly came back to my mind. Whatever he did, he did well, because it came back

All this talk is making me want to go back tonight as well...I think I might have to after work..

You should automatically be put up to the 2nd spot in the queue as a Gold member whenever you walk in. So I can't imagine your wait would ever be that bad, unless a ton of Gold and Platinum members happen to be at the range that day

you and I need to become friends..fast. Not just because of the USP.....I'll go halfsies with you on a lapdance from Ant

I don't quite understand the above argument..but I hope what I said is not what inspired it. i was not trying to sound like a dick, just was confirming that what I heard is what some other people had heard as well. Wasn't trying to speak for the employees, was just trying to help someone asking a question. The place is phenomenal. Broke in the new membership card, got to know some of the staff, and played with some new toys. Everyone was in great spirits. As someone else said, the ventilation was such that you never were breathing lead. You can feel the air actually blowing past you keeping everything moving. I will without a doubt be there every chance I get. Looking forward to making new friends.

Well, I can vouch that while taking the tour, one of the instructors specifically told the whole group public walk ins would be allowed after the initial 1200 sellout. After that, they would create a wait list and allow small batches of additional members to join(while still allowing walk ins) but that the ultimate goal was to gauge the "sweet spot" of memberships and take it fully private..that was the story both at the tour and upon a second visit as well. I don't think people are spreading rumors, they are just reiterating variations of this logic

no for maryland. go to usacarry.com. click concealed carry resources, and then maps. Click Utah, and then choose "non resident". it will tell you where the permit is valid.

My dumb face is in those photos! (No not the pig one) What a place, I'm really excited to make new friends with this community. Ant puts on a great get-together. If this is what the comraderie will be like going forward, I already can tell it's going to be great Plus , convinced my lady to get her first toy (snubbie wheel gun) next door at ottomanelli's before we headed over to the barbecue. Thanks Michael Jr, the great demeanor of you and your staff made her feel very comfortable. She was admittedly nervous and slightly intimidated but was laughing and excited about the purchase by the time we were ringing up. Will wear those tshirts you gave us around town! Already have people excited to shoot with me there tomorrow night. I have a feeling this is going to become my second home ...

how does that refute what I said?

the "independent" vote is a sham. There is no such thing as this amorphous group of voters that swing from election to election. All there is are two blocs, and one of the two becomes less enthused than the other to actually get out and vote. Trust me, the last two candidates were chosen under that exact prescription "they can appeal to those middle-of-the-road people!" instead what happens is they fail to excite a solid base and they are the ones who in turn don't show up. Think about it: how many people do you actually know that legitimately vote for an R today and D tomorrow, and back again? That's absurd. Anyone who thinks they do that and are "enlightened" are morons. As far as I'm concerned there are no good democrats and maybe 2 or 3 good republicans. the rest are forgettable. Reagan (ran as, key word) an ardent neo-conservative. He was unapologetic. He crushed his opponent. This coming from a person who is sympathetic to libertarianism: Moderates are a farce. Republicans and democrats are a farce (to me you are either a statist or proponent of liberty, the party labels are just nonsense) But the fact is republicans lose because every time they castrate themselves trying to sound like compassionate progressives, and that is not in fact what their base and libertarian outliers want to hear. They haven't seemed to learn their lesson in 10 years, except briefly in 2010 when they latched on to this "tea party" movement and saw wild gains. They would be smart to continue down that path of liberty and reject large government and statism at every turn.

HAHA. worked so well the last 2 elections. That's been the same exact justification for McCain and Romney

Can you link to existed thread before lock please

Ant, is the range going to be open for use on the 20th during your grand opening party? And the next day, sunday, as well? I had heard somewhere, not sure it's true, that you wouldn't actually open the physical ranges until monday the 22nd. Can you clarify?

Is there any new info from the Circuit and Gura?

No need for friction...it's the glorious free market. They set their prices - the market will decide. From the looks of it during my tour, everyone responded really well. Ant knows what he is doing. The place looks incredible and I can't wait to share it with our community and make new friends. If anything, the cost insures that dregs who don't take the property and community seriously will be priced out. No sideways shooting going on here. If the price was truly too high, the patrons wouldn't sign up. Capital is king Good luck GFH. I and mine will be frequent guests

They do everything for you. I think they were expecting a 2 month turnaround. I did the class about 3 weeks ago

thinking about the same silver/gold debate...I don't really get out enough to warrant the gold. Silver would be sufficient. However, the case for laying out the extra cash for the gold is the ability to skip ahead to the 2nd person in line. Ant structured that perfectly...he's got my number Most public ranges around this state are a sh**show with wait times. I don't want to pay a membership to wait 45-60 minutes to shoot, which very likely could happen with a silver membership. You will wait in line just like all the walk-ins. Unless the club goes completely private, silver membership may be obsolete. You would basically need a minimum of a gold membership to actually get your turn with any sort of speed. Maybe Ant can clarify on whether he intends to go all private with enough memberships?

Because when you shoot trap you go up to the line, and then you back away far enough that the sound of the shots aren't bothersome, and they project downrange. You are hanging around talking to people waiting for your next game and you can't hear them with them in your ears. I always take them out. Indoors however yes, I never take them out.

the problem with disposable one is you have to mess with them, roll them, squeeze, etc every time you put them in. And especially when shooting outdoors, you constantly take them on and off. I would be doing about a 50/50 split of outdoor trap and indoor pistol shooting.

Since joining this hobby years ago I bought a cheap pair of remington ear muff-type protection. They are bulky, get hot, and can be uncomfortable. However, it drowns the noise out pretty well. I am looking to transition to ear plugs, but not the disposable foam kind. Can you guys recommend a reasonably priced ear plug product? Something that does a good job of dampening noise but isn't too uncomfortable.
