I have the P85, predecessor to the P95, both tanks but the P95 is more like a Sherman and P85 is like a M1 Abrams (medium duty compared to main battle tanks). You should also look at the Sig SP2022. Not much more than the Ruger, comes with night sights, a decocker, and 2 grips for different size hands. Very accurate, and mags were readily available and about $23 ea before the SHTF. I would put that against my Ruger any day!

The 06 and the 308 are almost the same. The 308 has a little less recoil. If you are a hunter the 06 can be used on larger game and shoot a slight bit flatter at longer distances, but either will do the job. Shorter stroke on the 308. The differences are negligible.

I like it very much! What's better is my 21 year old daughter also likes shooting it. The sighting system is like some European pistols, 12 0'clock, hold, you have to cover the bull with the dots. My Walther PK380 is the same way. I heard that some Sigs are that way also. Don't let that be a deterrent, it is a fine pistol. Shoots well, and accurate. If you lived close I would have you come over and check it out.

I have the Bersa Ultra Compact Pro in 9mm. I bought it last year & paid $390 + tax, & NICS. OTD $440.

Check for gun shows in PA. Theres a show this coming weekend at Allentown Fair Grounds. (forks of the delaware)

How about a Bersa Thunder in .380. They run about +- $350 if you can find one. They resemble a Walther PPK. (think James Bond)

Done!

I picked up my pistol on Thursday. It was exactly 16 days.

I just picked up a pistol today. NICS took 16 days.

Did yours clear yet?

Picked up my new Nine today. 16 days for my NICS!

Buds as a couple of used model 10's, police trade ins, with case, for $279.00. Free shipping.

aedubber, pretty sure I seen that exact gun yesterday at Cheyenne Mountain Outfitters in Robbinsville. Not exactly in your back yard, but if you give them a call and give them the model number they can tell you if they have it.

Very interesting videos!

I know that my work received paperwork to fill out for proof of employment. When my daughter filed for her FPID she put her place of employment (at the time) on her app, but when she applied for her pistol permit she wasn't working and put down that she was a student and they (as far as we know) didn't contact anybody. The first time I applied for a pistol permit while working at my present job the paperwork was lost somewhere in our HR dept. I had to have the Police dept to fax over another copy. That added a couple of extra weeks to my wait. Now I attach a business card from the HR person in charge to my applications so that doesn't happen again.

GAPP is certified for both Florida and Utah, They give you extra fingerprint cards just in case the first set is rejected. Jersey uses electronic fingerprinting and that is not excepted.

I took mine last September, I was told it wasn't necessary to include your occupation on the application by the instructor, WRONG, I received a sheet that had to be completed, notarized and sent back. It took almost 4 months for mine. It was about 70 days when I received the notification of the error.

I think if were mine I would try to contact the American Rifleman magazine and ask their opinion as to weather you should refinish or not and the rifles worth in it's present condition as opposed to you refinishing, or even cleaning it up. I would also try http://www.winchestercollector.org and see if they can help. I understand you would like to clean it up for your kids and future generations, but also think what it might be worth in the future if you didn't refinish it. In most cases, even though the gun might have some surface rust, it could be worth substantially more untouched. There are places that can professionally refinish antique firearms (namely Winchesters) and they will be worth almost as much. I would seriously consider all of the options first!

All I can say is don't count your daughters out! I don't have a son, but my youngest daughter (21) has the bug! I couldn't be happier sharing my shooting sports with her!

Very nice, I'm extremely jealous!

Did you try another magazine? Does the magazine spring feel week? Does the slide close completely but fail to peel off a round? Could it be a week recoil spring?

To my knowledge it is not necessary to register it. This is one of the arguments with this stupid proposed "universal background check", that even if you hand down a firearm to a relative you will still need to get a background check. Also, if it is a Winchester and it is only 70 years old, there should be a serial number. It is located in front of the chamber and often also stamped on other major parts that can be discovered upon field stripping your firearm. Sometimes old or refurbished firearms will have different serial numbers on different parts. An older weapon with matching serial numbers throughout will be more valuable than firearm rebuilt with parts from different firearms.

A friend gave me 1lb of clays. I loaded 150 rds of .38 with it but I haven't made it to the range to see how they shoot.

I have an 1891 Argentine Mauser that shoots fine and some of the ammo I have for it is from the early 1900's. As long as you don't see pitting in the bbl or key holing on the target it should be fine.

I wish I could help more, but you might want to try, http://www.leeloadmaster.com. I have a Lee Turret press and my setup is different. I use a 4 die carbide set for all of my pistol cartridges. Good luck!
