No. Where did you get this number? If you look at rates of repeat offenders, it is more like 30%. It is higher in some areas and for certain types of crimes. As to cops, I've met a number of really bad cops (real scumbags with a badge) and also a number of good ex-crooks (one timers who are...

Sigh.............Unfortunately, the "reasonable restrictions" rarely do this (as evidenced by the Batman killer, Virginia Tech shooter, and the Newtown loony) and high percentage of all murders that are passionately committed by first timers with clean records. If society would allow it, I...

Nope. Just the Felons with Firearms law. Thats the only one we are talking about

I don't see any confusion at all. We just found some common ground is all. Your first few words said it all: "The danger from laws such as this........". And that is our point. Laws like this are dangerous, but they are also irrelevant as Sam 1911 previously pointed out and do not usually...

True. Several thousand rounds will smooth out a trigger as well. I like mine smooth from the beginning, but I have a fund for those costs! YMMV!

And this is my main contention!

LOL! Well said. However, the statute of limitations has long expired on these crimes or I wouldn't have mentioned them!

No one is suggesting lawlessness. Where did you get that. All crime needs to be punished. I am suggesting that permanently taking away natural rights is immoral and does not fit the crime. Prison for life, death penalty, caning, a specific sentence--whatever. Put them under the jail...

I probably buy a couple of ammo cans of 800-1000 rounds per year of cheap 9mm target ammo, since it is cheap enough not to reload. That's about $450 dollars. Then, I probably shoot 2000 rounds of 40SW and maybe 500 rounds of 10mm per year. At just under 15 cents per round to reload, that...

Yes, its funny what some of the add-ons will do. I put a Lone Wolf firing pin with a 4 lb spring in my G23 initially, and it ran great. Then I added a Guardian trigger system from Glocktriggers.com. Great system, but it works with a minus connector. Took it to the range and the striker would...

The point is that the restrictions do not usually work--the law is irrelevant! Let me play devil's advocate here. If my wife or granddaughter were brutalized or murdered by a known perpetrator, there was no legal evidence other than my knowledge that the assailant actually did it, and I had...

Well, I do that will all production pistols anyway, so its not like I HAD to add the parts. Since Sigs, 1911s, HKs, Berettas and CZs ALL have a little creep to the triggers anyway, extra money goes into any production gun I purchase. Right out of the box, they always go to Bill Springfield for...

For the record, I do NOT accept the "Three Felonies a Day premise. However, you don't seem to agree with me that there is a HUGE percentage of felonies successfully committed by people with clean records, including murder, extortion, blackmail, forced prostitution, child molestation and a...

Yep. A little more in keeping with the REAL Ten Commandments. Love the King James English!

No! It is the SAME population and that was one of my points before. Surveys show there are MANY more "felons" out there with clean records who are just smart enough not to be caught. Some of these are "felons" with CC licenses. Off the record, I am one of them. I have never been arrested or...

Yep, its a strange attraction. Cant put my finger on it!

It's really strange how I never thought much of plastic guns and didn't understand the hype and fanboyism from the Glock crowd. Then the Gen 4 comes out and I am turning them into $1000 guns. I could have had three really nice, accurized production 1911s or Sigs or two pretty nice STI 1911s or...

Well, I think we can just agree to disagree here. I have always been of the mind that the punishment should fit the crime exactly, and applying gun prohibition to non-gun crimes just grates on my sensibilities. Oh well.........it is what it is!

With the G20, yes. It was a 2013 model and ejects beautifully. To be honest, though, the first G23 was a 2010 model that didnt have the new ejector (probably why he sold it to me) and threw brass everywhere, including a few to my head! Once I replaced it with the new version, it leaves a neat...

Yep. I am using the G20 without any backstraps--very similar to the feel of the SF. Even though my hands are large, it just feels better in the hand!
