    List of pistols with JM Browning-format controls?

    H&K USP H&K Hk45 eta: mag release is technically at the corner of the trigger guard and grip, but its the lever type and not a button.

    Handloading .40 S&W

    Lee sells theirs as .40SW/10mm. :)

    Federal .45 FMJ ammo

    but can throw you off as a reloader since they don't use large pistol primers.

    Blackhawk Serpa Holsters - Opinions

    Sounds more like a problem with bad habits than gear.

    Have a CHL? Skip the metal detectors in Austin

    Already like that in VA. You still have to go through the metal detectors but you just show your CHP to the Capitol Police officer and they wave you through. And this includes Open Carry and Concealed Carry.

    3rd gen S&W steel pistols are underrated.

    I like some of the 2nd gen versions as well, like the 659 and 645 for example.

    Wolf small pistol primers

    Good to hear. I just didn't want anyone to think it was a good idea to shoot lead through a factory Glock barrel and never clean it. THAT will not end well. I'm not a Glock basher either, one is on my hip every day, that I trust my life to.

    Wolf small pistol primers

    well, that sounds like a winning combination, if you like blown up guns.

    Unique Powder ?

    I use Unique for almost all my handgun loads (9mm, .38, .45, and sometimes .357mag though I sometimes use 2400) In 9mm I use FMJ, the rest I mostly use cast lead. It's a bit dirty in .38 and .45, the 9mm is pretty clean actually. I thought it was because it was a higher pressure cartridge...

    7.62X93 ammo obsolete?

    How can a cartridge be obsolete if several countries still use it as standard issue? Czech Republic, Slovakia, Finland, etc. all still use 7.62x39 last time I checked.

    Under age handgun on property

    Sure thing. First, here's the applicable federal law from the ATF website: http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/i/atf-i-5300-2.pdf And the applicable VA laws: http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-309 ("Minor" is defined as someone under age 18)...

    Under age handgun on property

    You're fine. I bought my first handgun from a friend when I turned 18. In VA you only need to be 21 to buy a handgun from an FFL holder (dealer). Private sales, min age for handgun transfer or possession is 18. When transporting it in your car it has to be either in plain view (and can be loaded...

    First Shots: S&W Model 64-3 w/4" HB

    thanks for the report :) . My 64-5 4"HB wears the same Pachmayr Gripper grips normally. It's amazingly accurate with the same 158gr Plated flat points from GA Arms :cool:

    .38 +P+ Question

    I prefer them to the LSWCHP if I'm loading my .357mag up with .38s since I believe it will be a little better at barrier penetration due to it having a jacket. It doesn't recoil any more than my Federal 158gr LSWCHP +P which I use in my .38.

    HANDGUNS overbuilt for the caliber they fire?

    stainless steel S&W autos...they weigh as much as a 1911 and are very easy shooting due to the weight.

    Pet Peeve about guys who carry and dont seem to realize they are wearing a gun.

    I'll admit I've whacked my gun into the steering wheel when getting out of my vehicle, and into a wall when I first started carrying. But I've learned to watch what I'm doing and it stopped happening. Now I naturally keep my strong arm over my handgun when traversing close quarters, also helps...

    Glock 21 or XD45?

    I went with the XD. Having conventional rifling was a big plus as I shoot LRN .45acp ammo a lot since that's what I reload in that caliber. If I went with the G21, I would have had to buy an aftermarket barrel, adding at least another 120 onto the cost.

    Frommer: Arizona off travel list after guns seen outside Obama speech

    I would LOVE to see them try to ban OC here in VA...there would be a thousand-plus people in Richmond the day after the bill is introduced to let them know that if they pass it, they'll be voted out.

    This happened...in Texas of all places.

    they can't buy back what they never owned in the first place.

    What About The Colt Python in .38 Special?

    Not completely true...some police depts. / security companies were required to use a revolver chambered in .38spl, NOT .357mag. This is the same reason Ruger made a .38spl version of the Security Six, etc. when in the exact same gun they also chambered in .357mag. Now, the real question is, why...
