For loading plinking/practice loads, I've been using FMJ or TMJ "pulls" from American for about 8 cents/round. https://americanreloading.com/product/45-230gr-tmj-pulled-500ct/ Also have found 9mm there for less than 4 cents each, but you have to get on their mailing list and jump on them when...

I ordered some primed 38 Special "mixed headstamp" brass from American Reloading recently and the headstamps were all AMMO INC, so they may have had some bad batches that they sold off to American Reloading to disassemble and sell as components. If that's what happened and they knew there were...

I've never bought a gun online, except for one of PSA's "limited edition" stripped AR lowers. I've bought all mine from local stores, pawn shops, or friends/acquaintances.

A Thunder 380 was my wife's first gun several years ago, and she still carries it almost daily. We both think it's a fun gun to shoot and it gets a lot of use at the range. Haven't had any problems with it at all, except a couple of misfeeds with Speer Gold Dots. Hornady Critical Defense works...

I thought this had to be a joke but a quick search turned this up. Apparently somebody is taking them seriously: http://www.shastadefense.com/CCWIdentificationBanners.htm From the link (bad grammar and all): "CCW Identification Banners To assist in avoiding mistaken identity shooting following...

I voted DOA, mainly because I usually pocket carry and don't have to worry about an exposed hammer snagging something. And I hardly ever shoot the one DA/SA revolver I own single action, anyway.

Back in the 18th century didn't the term "well regulated" have a meaning closer to "properly performing" or "in proper order" as opposed to the way people now see it as meaning "controlled by government"? Anyone have a 1789 dictionary handy? :)

This is the way I understand it, and if I recall correctly it's the way it was taught in my history classes, way back when schools actually taught history.

I have an LCR (not "x" because I pocket carry and don't want a hammer sticking out) and my wife has a Bersa Thunder. Both are great guns. The Bersa is heavier and has less recoil and is fun to shoot. The LCR is very light and you feel it when you shoot it, but is better, in my opinion, for...

Maybe I did misunderstand the question. I wouldn't take anyone that I didn't know to the range. I have a coworker that has shown interest in shooting that I offered to take sometime. We're not really friends, but I know him well enough to know he's a responsible person. I won't make him sign a...

I picked up a Heritage Rough Rider for $130 about a year ago for plinking and love it. True, it isn't a showpiece, but it's fun and cheap to shoot. Pretty accurate, too. My wife shot it for the first time the last time we were at the range and I couldn't get her to leave until we had finished...

This is how I feel, so I voted "No". If they aren't paying attention, acting responsibly and being safe, the session ends.

I've ran both Critical Defense and Gold Dots through mine without any issues, but have to admit that it's only been a few magazines of each. I usually start a range session by shooting the mag of defense rounds already in the gun, then shoot factory FMJ or coated cast reloads (so far they've...

Thanks! I'll order one. Dave

I've got an LC9s "Pro" model with just the trigger safety and love it. It's fun to shoot and I haven't had any issues with any kind of ammo I've fed it, including steel cased Tula and Wolf, several brands of commercial brass cased cartridges, my mid-range reloads, Critical Defense and Gold Dots...

Been reloading for less than a year and I've been looking at the Lee Taper Crimp Die for 38 Special for use with plated bullets, too. But I'm a little confused by the statement on Lee's web site that says "Lee 38SPL Taper Crimp Die, overcomes crimp problems caused by poor die design. Offers...

I've been lurking here quite awhile, so I might as well introduce myself. I'm Dave, from North Carolina.. i enjoy shooting mostly pistols but also some rifle and have recently gotten into reloading the pistol calibers. Nice forum you have here. I've spent many hours learning here.
