The only time I've ever given a thought to barrel make is if it has polygonal rifling-Glocks, mostly-in which case lead bullets aren't recommended. Otherwise, I don't think you'll find it matters Barrel length is mostly there as a reference. If your gun has a longer barrel than what they used, you have potential to get more velocity. If you have a shorter barrel, probably less velocity. But that will also depend on the powder selection-some are better suited for shorter or longer barrels Personally, I don't worry about the safety of a published load if I'm shooting it out af a barrel a few inches shorter or longer than the reference barrel. As always, start low in the powder charge range given, and work up if there is a reason to. For target/plinking loads, there is no reason to go to a max charge weight, but you can tweak the loads for accuracy.

The longer barrel also allows the powder charge to burn inside the barrel, where it can do some good, and not out in front of the barrel, where it produces a spectacular but useless fireball.

I'm a fan of the S.A. xds 3.3 9mm. Freakishly accurate for it's size, I shot it a LOT better than the G26 or the M&P Shield. 7, 8, and 9 round mags available, depending on how much length and capacity you want. It falls between the Shield and the G26 in terms of thickness.

Help her get a cute FID and a cute P2P in her own name, then take her to a store, preferably with a rental range, where she can pick out a cute gun to purchase using her cute permit. This avoids all of the potential legal problems cited previously in this thread.

That's generally been my experience, though I once had problems with a 9 mm Glock keyholing badly until I took OAL out to the max. Bullets had apparently been jumping too far before engaging the rifling ( though the loads were fine in other 9's).

0.00007158 Is correct based on the numbers cited, but you need to multiply that by 100 if you are going to put a % behind it, as was done in the motion. It's still a friggin' small number.

You may not be looking at anyone as far away as Morris County, but if by chance you are, stay far, far away from Febbi Renato contracting in Boonton. The tale of my bad experience with him is here: http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/67275-septic-system-inspector/?p=853934

Some unicorns have wings, if google image search is to be believed. Or it could have been a griffin. Eyewitness accounts are notoriously unreliable.

Two years ago it might have been the honorable thing. Instead she waited until after she was indicted, after she lost her law license, after the Governor and the legislature both called for her resignation, after she was convicted on all counts, and until just before the sentencing hearing at which she was legally required to give up her post...at about the same time she would have been voted out in the general election anyway. That's far from honorable. That's hanging onto a lucrative taxpayer-funded job for as long as humanly possible. That's despicable.

Long overdue!

Perjury was a felony charge, so she's now been successful in reducing the number of people eligible to own guns in PA by one.

Thanks for the kind words, Mrs Peel. No, I'm not an Olympian; just a big fan of those who are. I did spend 12 years trying to make an Olympic team. I shot 3-position free rifle in college and got as far as the final selection round for one Olympic team, then I switched to free pistol and air pistol and managed to get to the final selection round in those events in two more Olympic cycles. I did finally make the US Team in a non-Olympic year, and got to compete in a World Cup, which happened to be in Rio de Janeiro, so it's been very cool watching these Rio games.

The shooting events of the 2016 Olympics have concluded. It wasn't a great year for Team USA, but we can celebrate Ginny Thrasher's Gold in Air Rifle, Corey Cogdell-Unrein's Bronze in Trap, and Kim Rhode's Bronze in Skeet. The results of today's Men's 50m 3-Position Rifle (Free Rifle) Gold: Defending Champion Niccolo Campriani of Italy, who earlier in the week won the Gold in Men's Air Rifle Silver: Sergey Kamenskly of Russia, who finished just 0.3 points behind Niccolo! Bronze: Alexis Raynaud of France The two American shooters failed to make the finals. Matt Emmons finished 19th, and Dan Lowe finished 28th in the field of 44. That concludes my coverage of the games. I hope I've given you all some useful background on the shooting sports (tell your friends!), and just maybe inspired a few of you to try out some of the international events.

Clint is NOT a Glock guy.

Men's Skeet Final: Gold: Gabriele Rossetti, Italy. The Italians have won 6 shooting medals in these games. Silver: Marcus Svensson, Sweden, who lost to Gabriele in the final shot of the final event. Bronze: Abdullah Al-Rashid, Independent Olympic Athletes (He's from Kuwait, but 2016 sanctions prevented them from fielding a team. Vincent Hancock, Eatontown, GA was the top US finisher. Vincent was the Gold Medalist in this event in 2008, and 2012, but he didn't qualify for the finals today, and finished 15th. Frank Thompson, Alliance, NE Competing in his second Olympics Frank finished 21st in the field of 32. Men's 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol Gold: Christian Reitz, Germany, who shot an Olympic Record score to will the Gold Silver: Jean Quiquampoix, France Bronze: Li Yuehong, China Keith Sanderson, Colorado Springs, Colorado, in his third Olympics, finished 10th in the field of 26 Emil Milev, Tampa, Florida finished 12th. Emil won the Silver Medal in this event for Bulgaria at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Here is video of the FInal in London, 2012. It will give you a flavor of the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VAZ9zGjcHY Up tomorrow: The final shooting event of the 2016 Olympics. Men's 50 m 3-Position Free Rifle. Matt Emmons from Browns Mills, NJ will be going for his 4th Olympic Medal. http://iwtsa.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/010861.png

Yes she did, AND she is the only person to medal in six consecutive Olympic Games. Those records are likely to stand for a very long time Women's Skeet Final Gold: Diana Bacosi, Italy Silver: Chiana Cainero, Italy Bronze: Kim Rhode, USA Morgan Craft, Muncy Valley, PA, was the other shooter from team USA. The 23-year-old finished a very respectable 5th Two days of shooting remain. Up tomorrow, Men's Skeet and Men's 25m Rapid Fire Pistol

Essential stops when you arrive in Colorado: 1) Employment Office 2) Realtor 3) DMV

The Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs had a very nice range. The facility is open for tours. If you are near Royal Gorge and Garden of the Gods, they're pretty cool.

Men's 50m Prone Rifle results: the U.S. Shooting Team continues to struggle Gold: Henri Junghanel of Germany. Henri was a 4-time All American while shooting for the University of Kentucky Varsity Rifle Team, before returning to his native Germany. He holds the world record in this event, but struggled in the prelims, and was in 8th place going into the finals. Silver: Jonghyun Kim of South Korea, winning his second Olympic silver, just 1.3 points behind Henri. Bronze: Kirill Grigoryan of Russia. American Michael Mcphail of Darlington WI finished 19th, and David Higgins of San Clemente, CA finished 40th in the field of 47 The 10 ring on an international 50m (55 yard) rifle target measures just 10.4 mm across (about the size of a dime), and matches are usually decided by fractional points awarded for how close to the center of that ring each shot hits. Shooters use a sling-no bipods are allowed--and iron sights.

I wonder if the anti-gun groups are able to work with each other more effectively than we in the pro-2A community do? I suspect they can, and that may account for some of their success.

Women's 50m 3-position Rifle results Gold: Barbara Englader, Germany, This is her first Olympic medal, and her fourth and probably final Olympics. Asked what she'll be doing next, she responded "drinking a beer." Silver: first time Olympian Zhang Binbin of China, who finished just 0.2 points behind Englader. Bronze: Du Lin of China, the 2008 champion in this event U.S. Shooter Ginny Thrasher (Gold medalist in Air Rifle earlier this week) finished 11th. Sarah Scherer of Woburn, MA finished 33rd in the field of 37. Up tomorrow: Men's 50 m Prone Rifle, and Kim Rhode tries to make history in Women's Skeet. There will also be qualification rounds for Men's Skeet and Men's Rapid Fire Pustol.

What a great story. I wasn't aware of this. And now the world calls him an Olympian. Thanks to the Walmart air pistol, NJ would have prosecuted him as a criminal. BTW, if you are looking for a good, low cost, entry level precision air pistol, the Daisy 717 (or the slightly upgraded 747) has been the first air gun for a lot of competitors for the last 35 years. Nothing teaches trigger control and follow through as well as an air gun (thanks to the low velocity), and you can practice at home for a ridiculously low cost. You just have to burn a permit to get one in this idiotic state. www.daisy.com/node/70

There is precedent for that. You don't see any old cars on the road in Singapore, because government approval is needed to buy one, and when the car hits 10 years of age you have to turn it back in and reapply for another car. I'm not sure how or if drivers are compensated when they have to surrender their cars, but the locals did tell me that it's fairly hard to get a purchase permit in the first place

Men's Double Trap final Gold: Fehaid Aldeehani, representing Independent Olympic Athletes. Fehaid formerly shot for Kuwait, but Kuwait has been banned from the games this year. Fehaid won bronze medals in 2000 and 2012 Silver: Marco Innocenti, Italy. Two targets out of first place Bronze: Steven Scott, Great Britain The U.S shooters were Josh Richmond of Hillsgrove, PA, who finished 7th in the field of 22, and Glenn Eller of Houston TX who finished 14th. Tomorrow's event is Women's 50m 3-position rifle.

Not many caliber choices still in use in the Olympics, though some center fire events are still shot in other international competitions. Air rifle and air pistol use .177 cal pellets. The guns mostly use compressed air cylinders now, though older-generation guns used refillable CO2 cylinders or single-pump spring piston mechanisms. All other rifle and pistol events are .22 LR Trap and skeet are 12 gauge only-no sub gauge events in skeet Until a few years ago, rapid-fire pistol was a .22 short event; a recent rule change required .22 LR. There have been center fire rifle and pistol events in past Olympics, but no more. 300m rifle hung on into the 60's. No more team events, either. Running deer, running boar (both on paper targets) were Olympic events for almost 100 years, but they are gone.
