It's all semantics. It depends on what you're sniping. This is where PETA will enter the anti-gun alliance.

In the past 18 months I've put about 17,000 rounds down the pipe of a few guns. My P220 has about 4,700 of them. My P226 .40 has about 5,000 of them. My G17 has about 4,800 of them. Those are my autoloaders. The remaining rounds went through revolvers. So let's divide this into rounds that...

I think it’s naïve to think that he will leave the topic alone, particularly since YOU’RE not leaving it alone. You say that you don’t want a confrontation and yet your reloading bench is the stage that you‘ve set for precisely that. It’s okay that you leave it up but don’t kid yourself (or...

That's my thought too. Have a better skilled shooter try it precisely when you start to have problems. The gun should not be running that far out of spec after a few rounds. I routinely shoot 350 - 500 rounds through mine in a session with NO changes in accuracy. s

An instrtuctor once gave me an interesting tip. It's helped me with focus. What he did was he asked me if I was seeing the muzzle flash with each shot. I tried a couple more rounds and realized that I was not. To shoot accurately you must focus on the front sight. If you don't see the...

Correct or not a wage of $2.13/hour will be self-critiquing in one form or another.

While I agree that they changed their experiement midstream I do not think that this materially changed the performance of the rounds tested. The reason the 9mm did best was simply because it remained intact. The others did not. Shearing force has nothing to do with it. Once the bullet...

And so, the point of the lesson is lost on you. That point being that the effects that you're told to ignore are acutally VERY significant and do indeed change the ideal physics that one might find in space. Hopefully the lesson should impress upon you the difficulty of predicting a...

I have plenty of fun with my 629 5". I don't find it to be all that hard on me - 50-100 rds at a time is really no big deal. But I'm a pretty big guy and I can understand how one might get a little beat up if the gun flies around a bit more on discharge. Come to think of it though, I did...

Okay Warren, where in NorCal are you?

1. Sig P226 (.40) 2. Sig P220 3. S&W 686 (deal too good to pass up $300) 4. S&W 586 5. Glock 17 (cheap to shoot) And just for good measure I added a S&W 629 last month. Gun was cheap ($400), and only had 50 Rds through it. Ammo, unfortuantely, remains expensive. Oh well. Still...

The bear was French? Wearing makeup?:D :D :D Sorry - I know you meant "rogue" but I had to. s

The DOI was a diplomatic and political statement. It proclaimed that those who created it had had enough and that things needed to change. It is incorrect to believe that it was created in a vacuum. The colonists waded through years of a growing tide of resentment about their treatment at...

No, not exactly. "Americans" considered themselves to be largely anonymous. They simply wanted to be left alone to do as they pleased. They believed in such as their birthright, as second or even third generation "Americans." Throughout a good deal of the war only those colonists who were...

It's open for debate because the original assertion was that the colonists did not view the Crown as their government and you claimed that you have seen nothing to support such a belief. The DOI is proof positive of such a belief. It's not semanitcs. As of July 4, 1776, the colonists...

With all due respect, I think you might be having a can't-see-the-forest-for-the-trees problem. There was this little thing called the Declaration of Independence which is the very epitome of a source document that indicates support for the notion that the colonists moved stridently between...

I only saw it once - in response #86 by fastbolt - but the most important thing in this whole debate is not the ammo. It's shot placement. I think anyone who really knows the facts about using a pistol in self defense wil ltell you that you can stop somone with a single, well-placed .38...

In some cases this is correct. However, it is not in this one. The question is whether it is a reasonable thing for you to own a gun. Other aspects of the issue are not relevant to your girlfriend. Just ask her. She doesn't want you to own a gun and she'll be more than happy to tell you...

Two things. First, it is essential that you understand the true nature of compromise. Compromise is the abandonment of your principles in favor of the adoption of another's for the sake of reaching agreement. Thus, compromise is not something one should undertake lightly for it represents...
