Neat! Thanks.

Interesting interpretation I hadn't heard before: http://www.9news.com/news/article/323800/339/True-scope-of-gun-control-bill-questioned Time to write another letter. Just like any other bill drafted in haste to capitalize on people's emotions, this bill is a turd.

Corrected e-mail for Senator Tochtrop: [email protected] * It's correct in the first post, but not in post #6.

Thanks for the information Vern. I've got only an auto loader at the moment, but plan on getting a revolver or two in the future. I think it would be best to keep technique consistent across handguns, and I'm going to try and develop a good smooth pull in double action without staging the trigger.

Well, After detail stripping the pistol for the first time, I was amazed at the amount of gunk and grit that was built up in there. After cleaning it well, I just polished the parts by hand with some Flitz. The DA trigger pull is a bit lighter now, but I can definitely notice a MUCH smoother...

OK, thanks. I can say the trigger has smoothed out a bit since new from the dry-firing I've done. I'll look into getting the internals polished. After reading this and dry firing a bit more - it looks like that helps. If I have too much finger on the trigger I tend to jerk the front sight to...

You know, I thought about that after I posted. I suppose the only time I'd really need to be somewhat accurate with a DA shot is in a self-defense situation, which would be at close range. So I should work on a consistent DA pull. Any other situation this gun would be used for (like target...

Ok, hadn't considered that. Thanks, I'll take a look at Ruger's site. Also worth noting that I have about 1500 rounds through the gun and another 2000 or so dry-fire shots.

Looking for some input on technique for trigger pull on a double action shot. I've got a Ruger P-95, which in double action has a fairly long, heavy trigger pull, and I suppose this would apply to any double action handgun. I had originally learned that it's best to have a smooth...

TSA took my knife! Fixed the title for you. "The airlines" have nothing to do with the incredible incompetence of checkpoint security, other than being somewhat willing accomplices. They are just doing business under federal regulations. The TSA is a federal entity created under ****** *...

Cosmo Removal I had a long narrow plastic storage container which I put mineral spirits in, then disassembled the rifle and put everything in the mineral spirits and let it sit. This let me get everything out of all the nooks and crannies. To clean the accessories, which also had a little...

Mine looks very similar. Has 1000 rounds through it without a problem. I just figured it was unfinished and it seems common from other takedowns I've seen.

Man, sorry to hear about that. I second the freezing / hot-water-over-the-barrel method, partly as something new to try and partly because it makes sense. Whether or not the ~100deg difference will be enough to shrink the brass enough... you'll just have to crack a beer and find out. You...

Even if you couldn't beat $120 with a transfer, it'd be worth it to get the bayo and accessories. And the $100 price point is definitely what sold me on the 91/30. Someday I'll have one of those carbines but $100 for a piece of history is hard to pass up. Edit Although, remember too the time...

Don't like the length of the 91/30? Try the carbine! http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=635606

Packed in cosmoline. at J&G you can pay extra for a "hand picked" rifle, or even for a "hand picked for the bore" rifle. For the OP, keep your eyes out; I'd think you could find a run-of-the-mill 91/30 for not much more than $100. I paid $90 for mine at a local Big 5 and couldn't be...

Just wanted to add an anecdote to this. A couple years ago my brother had his apartment robbed and among the thousands of dollars worth of stuff stolen was our grandpa's .357 revolver. The Maplewood, MO police department filed a report for my brother, then promptly gave him a citation for...

Why do you want the pistol? Do you just eventually want to get into pistols for plinking or do you have a pressing desire / need for a self defense gun? If you want a self defense gun sooner rather than later and $200 is what you have, go get a Hi-Point. They just got one vote above from a...

Hi dbrown, Look around for a used (or new) Ruger P95. Retail depending on your location would be around $300-350 new. It's a very solid, proven pistol. The only other full size pistol that comes to mind for that price is a Hi-Point. I've never shot one; they tend to be a little...

Sounds pretty accurate to me. :banghead:
