...a sure bet that it will poke through a heavy coat. You do realize that hollow point bullets go though sheet metal and auto glass and still get 12" penetration in gel. I can't believe that a winter coat will stop a bullet. If anything, it may clog a non-robust expanding HP and cause further...

I don't think its legal. I scanned my drivers license and CCW permits and keep them on my phone. I may or may not have my wallet with me. I always have my phone with me. I do it because it just may buy me some good will with the police although I must say I've had 8-10 police interactions...

I'd love for someone to explain to my why I need a permit to CARRY in my house. This whole argument makes sense only if the license or permit allows carry outside of the home.

As long as the new mags look different from the old ones, I'll be fine. FWIW, I downloaded a camera app for my phone and took a date stamped photo. I then took that digital file and saved it to a DVD I have important documents on. The date stamp on the photo matches the date stamp on the...

Thanks

I am relatively new to gun ownership and live in Oho so I've never had to worry about ownership of "hi cap" mags. Let's assume that a 10 round limit in enacted but current ownership of hi caps are grandfathered in. What did everyone do years ago to be able to prove they owned pre-ban...

I've had the gun out with 3 different shooters. As best I can tell it's only the first shot of the day but I'm going to really keep track now. I'm sure I've shot later mags DA for the first shot and I know others have as well. I'll really start paying attention. It may be a while before I...

481-you caught me. I'll try and clean out the barrel. Just can't figure out why it's only the first shot of the day. Maybe it's the DA first pull but I'd have to imagine I started other strings DA and I don't recall it being an issue. Guess I'll have to go back to my .44 so I can't limp...

I always load from the mag. All my other guns are Glocks and I am told dropping a round into the chamber without loading from the mag is a no no. I'm stumped. If it was a problem with .22's, I'm just surprised I haven't read about it before but the SR22 is only a month old and my only .22 so...

I don't use bore butter but I'm sure I tried to clean the barrel with CLP after one or 2 of the shooting sessions. I strongly suspect all of the first shots are double action but it has happened with 3 different shooters. It's always the first shot of the day and not the first of the mag...

I'll give them a try. I don't clean after every session but I do run 2 mags of mini mags through at the end of a session. Gun has only 4-500 rounds through it. I'll see if any of those thoughts make a difference. Since it's only the first shot of the day, it's hard to whittle down the...

I have a Ruger SR22 and am having issues with the first shot of the day. I have owned 10-12 handguns in my life. When the barrel is "cold" the first shot is wildly inaccurate. I have only had the .22 out 5 times but it has happened all 5 times and with 3 different shooters. It happens on...

As far as underpenetration, the HSTs do in fact penetrate less than other 147s. Therefore, as far as 147 JHP bullets go, the HSTs underpenetrate. OK? That's a funny way to use the term "under-penetrate" That's why I asked. Under and over penetration are usually referenced in terms of a...

Why do you say the 147 HST tends to over expand and under penetrate?

Thanks. I'll remember to quote this next time there is a BPW discussion and someone tries to trash the findings of Fackler and Roberts
