I hope he goes for engraved derringers with gold inlay. That'll show the naysayers. Come on guys who wouldn't think that was cool?

If the brass you have is once fired from the same rifle you're reloading for it shouldn't need trimmed until a few firings BUT measure to be sure. The Lee trimmers are cheap and easy, so if you are ordering something else you might as well get them. You'll need to chamfer/debur the case mouth...

I had a similar experience with them. I bought some used dies, and needed a decapping pin. It's a wear part, they sell a 10-pack. I also needed some parts for my hand priming tool, from - umm yeah when I tried to seat a second primer, NOT a great idea. I told them what happened, they asked if I...

My first thought given the target price was Derringer. Why has no-one mentioned that? I have never even shot one, but it seems to me the perfect gentleman's pocket pistol, akin to buying them pocketwatches but more fun. I looked at Bud's and for just under $150 you can get blued or stainless...

You could do something like this, or just use paint, whatever color tickles your fancy http://www.forsterproducts.com/catalog.asp?prodid=700512

If you like the Galco IWB I bet you'd love a Crossbreed, White Hat or Hidden Hybrid type of IWB holster. I carry my Shield in a hidden hybrid. I'd like to try out the Crossbreed with a single clip eventually too though I just can't imagine having an IWB holster without being able to adjust it...

If you want a pocket gun, the kahr seems to be the hot ticket. I bought a shield 9mm and love it! I carry in a hidden hybrid, and I added big dot sights too.

What model# was the one you bought? I suspect it was one of the new SD series

While I haven't fired Tula specifically, the only time I had issues with my Sigma was when it needed to be cleaned. Oh and one light primer strike with a cheap box of RWS ammo Other than that, smooth sailing. Try a thorough cleaning, worst case different ammo

I'm planning to do the Apex trigger kit but I suspect the "death grip" is not helping anything (mrjim)

Google "m&p shield shooting low" and you'll see you're not alone. I just picked up a 9mm Shield and see the same thing (only ran a few mags through it). Lefties shoot low right, it's a combination of overcompensating for recoil, trigger control and grip. The common solution from reading other's...

I'm leaning towards the Dawson Charger tritium 3-dot or the Trijicon HD 3-dot for my Shield, either of these allow for 1-hand slide manipulation if needed. The Dawsons are about $30 less, but at this price $30 won't make or break the deal Any opinions?

I would swear the brass weight on the string of a 30 wouldn't fit down a 22, I'll have to compare the two now. Good luck but NO WAY I'd fire anything in it. I'm thinking cut the string and use a wooden dowel & hammer to beat it out the way it went in

Great more plastic packaging to blow out of somebody's truck and into my ditch... Waxed paper would be a better choice, assuming they still feel the need to package them in bundles
