    Private ranges in Phoenix AZ.

    I’ve done this in a couple different places along I-10 west of Phoenix. I just looked at the map for open space and a dirt road.

    Private ranges in Phoenix AZ.

    I have long skinny property, my range is 1000’ from my house. My wife can’t hear me shooting .22/9/.45 when she’s inside. Unless neighbors house is near backend I can’t imagine the noise would be a problem.

    SHARE YOUR HAND LOADING MISTAKES

    I managed to load a .380 case in a batch of 9mm. Pre tumble sorting, primer check, powder check, shoving it in magazine... never noticed. New to me P320 just went click. Wait 30 seconds, eject round, rest of mag shot fine. Look at “dud” round with light primer strike, notice it’s .380 ‍♂️

    California - Ownership vs Future Purchase?

    A big thing no one has mentioned is the CA roster of not unsafe handguns. Any semi-auto you're ever going to want you need to buy before you move to California. If you buy way too many before moving it's OK, you can sell anything off roster at a premium once you get here.

    Opinons on the Beretta 92FS Trigger

    I loved my M9. DA is long and smooth, much shorter than LC9. In the interest of preventing accidental first shots it's probably a good thing. SA has some take up but break is crisp as can be. My son "stole" it when he went to college so I haven't shot it in years... his first handgun purchase...

    You worry about Bears... read this!

    Hmm, either I can't go home or LA county sheriff needs to change his stance on issuing CCW's to normal people!

    Carrying Concealed Without ID

    BTDT. Wallet in console of car, wife drives away, doesn't answer phone. Extra screening process only added 10-15 minutes to get through security. Return trip was easier when I told the TSA agent what he needed to do to let me through.

    45 ACP for year round CCW in CA?

    If you can find one, the Taurus PT-745 is still on the Roster. If I didn't already have the PT-745 I'd be looking to SSE a XDs.

    Compact 45 for CCW that isn't a G36 or 1911?

    +2. I have a PT-745 (single stack) and it is much better than expected. I did have the "mag drop" issue. Taurus replaced the mag catch & spring less than a week. Since repair it has been flawless for 600 rounds. One of my sons little college co-ed friends preferred the PT-745 over a Beretta M9...

    US vs Italian made m9

    When given a choice I'd rather help out my neighbors in Maryland. I chose a USA made M9. Love it.

    One man's opinion of the Lee Loadmaster.

    About a year ago I started out with a Loadmaster in 9mm. It was finicky to set up and get running. After playing around with it and getting it dialed in it runs very well. In 9mm I'm currently running at about 1% primer failure (tipped/missing/crushed) rate. I recently set it up for 45acp and...
