As I look back at the whole thing, I was more dissapointed than anything else. Rage might be the wrong word. Yeah, dissapointed and embarrassed are better. I will be calling and checking all the other suggestions too. Thanks everyone.

Yeah.. I didn't read the post well.... Only 3 mags there, and they were the 15 round capacity each. Sorry for the confusion. Training dictates that as we reload and fire, mags are not placed nicely in a pocket or held. We fight like we train, so we train like we fight. In a real gun...

Evening all - Got a small problem and I'm hoping someone can help. I am an LEO in the SE PA area. My department requires we qualify with non-issued weapons we would like to carry. So we go to the range to qualify last night. The range is very cold, and has a concrete slab floor, which is...

Lancaster PA also... City of Lancaster also recently passed a similar ordinance. They also passed an ordinance...get this... that makes it ILLEGAL to discharge a firearm within the city limits. There are no exemptions for self defense, accidental/negligent discharge. It is also punishable by a...

Resolution... Well, I found the auction and the pistol. It was an 1892 Model French Pistol, and from the serial number, I believe manufactured around 1915. It's in VERY good condition, with the original holster. A bit of clean up, and it'll be a nice piece. I WILL be selling it, if anyone is...

At the least, I will be able to view and examine the pistol before bidding. Of course I would never buy a pistol of any kind sight unseen. We'll see what it looks like tommorrow!

thanks.. Actually, I DO think very highly of the folks on this sight and their expertise, thats why I came here, and nowhere else. I knew if anyone could give me any idea of what I might find, I would find them here. I wish I had more of description. but it's all I have. I'm just looking for...

That is what the auction says, that, and that alone. I've checked the auctioneer's website, and he has no picture, and no further description of the pistol. I am somewhat familiar with the Walther line of products, but I know if it's manufactured 1892 year, it's well before Walther. Auction...

some info on OC Having been trained on OC and been sprayed before, I'll share some facts about SHUs, and percentages. All OC sprays have 2 designations or numbers. One is the Scoville Heat Units or SHUs, and a percentage. How SHUs are determined is NOT up to the manufacturer, it is...

Thanks Thanks, I can always count on you guys for an quick answer!!

Hey Guys - I just bought a Sig 2340 Pro on a buy back program from my department (old duty weapons). I just recently started with the department, so I never carried this pistol, just the newly issued Glock 23. The pistol came with everything except the manual...:fire: Can anyone point me...

The department will supply all the .40 ammo I need. I do need to qualify with anything I choose to carry off duty, which would possible include the new BUG, and my P99. All good suggestions so far. The G27 is out for price. I'm pretty much limited to the $300. I'll look into the others...

I've just accepted an offer for an LEO job here in SE PA. I'm looking for a piece to possibly serve as a BUG for on duty, and an alternative for off duty. I currently shoot a P99 9mm, and my on duty issued weapon will be a G23, in a .40. I would prefer this BUG/off duty to be a .40 as well, but...

Good buy... This is a good buy, especially if it is a 1999 or 2000 model. Those pistols are all-German made, and built to tighter tolerances than the S&W collaborations. Don't get me wrong, the newer Walthers and the S&W cousins are good, and probably worth the $400 anyway. But a 1999 or 2000...

Got 'em down in PA too I've seen at least one coyote up close and personal here in SE PA, Lancaster County. He ran across a rural farm road my wife and I were on in seperate cars. It ran from right to left, trucking as fast as it could. I'm thinking the farmer on that side probably just took a...
