  1. Many of us have multiple guns in different calibers. This is just a reminder to be careful that you always load your gun with the correct ammo. Some have advised to not place different caliber guns and ammo on the same table while at the range. The reason for this is that 9mm will feed into a .40 cal chamber as will .40 cal into a 9mm chamber. The results can be problematic to downright dangerous. Yesterday at a shooting match a person accidentally loaded a round of .40 cal into his .45 cal magazine about midway though the load. Fortunately the RO heard when this round went off and stopped the shooter. The casing in the picture below was found in the chamber and we had to rod it out. This could have been worse as it is possible to have a squib in the barrel and have the casing extract which would lead to the next round correctly feeding an possibly blowing up the gun in your hand. This has been a public service announcement, you can now resume your normal daily activities.
  2. Again Dave is 100% correct by the letter of the law. Problem is many FFLs don't follow the letter of the law and they DEMAND a driver's licence with an address that matches your FID card and will not sell to you without it. I once tried to use my US Passport Card which has my photo and I was refused and they demanded a driver's licence. Heck we all know there are many FFLs that will demand your FID just to take a gun out of the display case (not required) and others that even demand to see a P2P before taking a gun out.
  3. While Dave is correct on the gun laws, I am not so sure what you are stating is true with regard to your driver's license. You need to verify this, but I believe you are required to have your PRIMARY address on a driver's license. That means the one where you spend over 183 days per year, or the majority of your time in the even of more than two residences. This could cause you a problem at dealers that "require" a driver's license with an address that matches your FID. Could you get away with not changing your driver's license, probably. However it could become an issue if god forbid you got in an accident and someone sued you and their lawyer started doing research and somehow managed to get your driver's license invalidated on this technicality which could lead to your insurance being ruled null and void.
  4. That is what I said - If he has not changed the FID nor the Driver's License they will both match even though they may both be in violation of state law depending how long ago the move was. When they are run they will match and not throw up a flag, even though they should have been renewed/replaced.
  5. If you don't tell the FFL about your new address and your driver's license and FID card have matching addresses then you won't have an issue, BUT.... technically your FID is null and void and you need to apply for a new one at your new address. What you decide to do is up to you.
  6. If anyone wants to sell Srecs I can hook you up with the broker I have been using for about ten years who is very good
  7. That is exactly what I was saying on the gamble of a government program. When I installed mine SREC were about $100 but then went up as high as $650 and then dropped to as low as $25 and are now around $200 I believe. My average SREC price over time is slightly over $400.
  8. Elon Musk, you said enough there. One powerwall would not provide one-third of my usage. We have a much better system here in New Jermany with net metering. Why would you want to spend the money on battery packs when the utility acts as a battery for you for free? The only thing that system does is provides power during a short term power outage. Much cheaper just to buy a gas generator.
  9. I have had a 10KW solar array on my home for 12 years now. Best investment I ever made. It paid for itself in three years and has been a cash cow ever since. The only issue is much of the economics is based on the SREC program which is run by Trenton and there is no telling what might happen to it in the future. If you go solar I would highly suggest buying your own system not going with one of those plans where they effectively rent your roof and claim you are getting them for free or for a low monthly payment - you can really get screwed with those and if you want I can give you details. If you want to talk more pm me your phone number and I would be glad to give you a call. BTW just got my electric bill for last month and it was $8.99. Could not find any pictures of my set up quickly but I found this video from my old drone of the house with the panels: https://www.flickr.com/gp/kirbinster/B6150r
  10. There is a SIRT that has two lasers and each does what you are suggesting. But the software is designed to operate when the hammer hits on a gun.
  11. Yes it is just software, but you need something like a laser SIRT or a laser cartridge in a double action gun. They also sell stuff so you can use a non-visible laser.
  12. Just set up my L.A.S.R. software and am really enjoying it. This is going to make dryfire fun and it gives lots of feedback. While I used to be a Grand Master in dry fire, now I have actual feedback and see where I was cheating and not getting the full value out of dryfire. With this tool you get immediate feedback on your hits and you can even set it up to do scoring and hit factors. With a second camera you can have it video both the targets and you so you can see how you are handling the gun. This is great for practicing for #USPSA, #IDPA or any other shooting. The built in templates let you easily apply overlays for realistic scoring. Here is a video of it in use, excuse the poor lighting and other visual distractions.
  13. Are you sure about the insurance? I thought you could only write off insurance if you are self employed or have a business that files a scheduleC. I will admit I have been wrong once or maybe twice before . This could be another example why it is bad to get legal or accounting advice on the internet. Guess this is the answer: http://www.healthedeals.com/articles/are-health-insurance-premiums-deductible
  14. You can only itemize medical that is over 7.5% of adjusted gross, has been that way for years. Insurance is only deductible if you are self employed.
  15. Should be on 10 round magazines. Just don't have them in your possession when you have 15 round magazines otherwise you could be charged with constructive possession of a high capacity magazine.

    Check your pm.

    Yes they still make it and it is a hot gun, lots of people buying them. It has some sort of Apex trigger and mounting plates like a Glock MOS. I actually like the trigger on my M2 better. Mine is a much lighter pull, especially with the trigger return spring changed. Some like the Q5 as the pull is shorter and crisper, guess it is all personal preference.
  18. Howard replied to sroc112's topic in Handguns
    Yup, love that 5" M2, it is my IPDA standard gun now.
  19. Howard replied to Underdog's topic in Gunsmithing
    Not sure what you mean by repaired? It is just a plastic slide with a spring. If you need parts just order them from a place like Brownells, easy to do yourself. If not anyplace with a gunsmith can easily do it in about two minutes.
  20. I actually did try comeback10, but it did not work
  21. Freedom Munitions still has flat rate shipping of $7.50 for any order over $99. I left some stuff in my basket the other day and they wanted me to order it so they sent me an email with a code good for another 5% off. The code is COMEBACK5 . I did not order that stuff but did use it successfully for another order, so I bet it will work for anyone. Got some new 124gr HP ammo, 1,000 rounds for only $197.50 net with the coupon.
  22. Howard replied to sroc112's topic in Handguns
    I have a collection of only five guns, all glocks (43, 19, 34, 22, 35) They sit all nicely together on one shelf. All my other guns are in a separate collection on lower shelves
  23. Howard replied to Moose11872's topic in Handguns
    I have a four once brass plug attached to the magwell on my G35 in that hole - guess it acts as a plug.
  24. Wow I got the postcard in the mail too. Since they already paid me off for mine I am going to get a coupon good for $22.50 off a future EoTech purchase - like that will motivate me to spend over $400
