Thank you for all the kind words. I have been truely humbled by all of the positve responses to date. David [email protected]

Typically, You will need to go up two inches if you are going to carry IWB. This is especially true if you are going to carry a glock/xd and other "blocky" pistols. I would stongly urge yoou just cry one time and buy an IWB and a purpose made double thickness leather gun belt whose width...

Perfect practice makes perfect. Buy quality and you only cry once. A good shot fired now is better that a great shot fired at some point in the future (assumes the marksmanship standard is an 8 inch plate/COM)

That appears to be fobus style plastic stuff that Springfield was giving away with the purchase of their pistols. It has not reviewed well in most circles. If you are on a budget, look at Uncle Mikes or Bldetech injection molded series of Kydex. Both holsters and pouches should be arround...

I will be attempting to reload several hundred primed .45 ACP cases. What are effective ways to lube the case without contamniating the live primer. Thank you in advance.

Thank you all for your prompt replies. You all properly suspected that it was a mixed brasss load such that weighing them was not really an option. I will pull them in 100 ct batches, carefully inspecting and starting the process over. I intend to remove the depriming pin on station one of my...

So I am at a 5 day sleep away shooting class when I have a double charge go off on TD 2. This is my second in about 2000 rounds. My load (using a dillion 550) is 5.4of 231 pushing a 230 g RNL. Both times I had a bit of spatter back on my face that drew blood. ( I was wearing Oakley M -Frames...

1. Make sure you have quality lubrication and the proper contact point re the trigger assembly. 2. dry fire and/or shoot the weapon a few thousand times and the trigger will lighten right up... seriously.

While reasonable minds may differ on the propriety of the federal govt's regulation of firearms and narcotics, it is an incorrect statement of the present state of the law to say that "controlled substances are outside of the jurisdiction of the BATFE". Perhaps in recognition of the fact that...

I bought a used Colt 1991 that had been with a Sheriff Dept in rural az. I got it home, cleaned it, changed the recoil spring (which anyone can do if the can field strip the gun), changed the firing pin and safety springs (which you can do if you follow any number of how to detail strip thread)...

fleshette With all due respect, the case you link to is distinguishable as it is as a state prosecution and is only in federal court because the def, after apparantly exausted his state appeal rights, filed a writ of habea corpus pursuant to federal civil law. I believe the citations to the...

Fleshette Please tell me when you believe when the Felon in possesson law was passed such that it has been appplied to defs for conduct that took place before the passage of the law. Can we agree that the law was on the books for at least the last 19 years such that this def was convicted of...

Flechette I am not sure I understand your ex post facto argument. I believe it been illegal for felons to possess weapons under federal law for more than 19 years such that the law was already on the books before the def became a felon or committed the crime for which he was just sentenced...

bereslurpy Lopez is distiguishable because the def in question was not a prohibited person before his possesson and conviction. Lopez was a non felon who possessed a .38 in a school zone. Moreover, the Gun Free School Act that Lopez overturned did not have as an requirement that the weapon...

beerslurpy I understand your point. There is no question that interstate commerce has been an continues to be interpreted quite broadly. Nevertheless, the state of the law at this time, at least in the 8th circuit (MO, NE, IA, SD, ND, MN and AR), is that just showing the weapon crossed a state...
