As of 3/6/10, he has not. I can only assume the basis for his opinion is, indeed, prejudice supported only by anecdotal and/or fabricated data. His lack of a reply is confirmation thereof.

On this subject, the following article appeared in the Sunday, Feb 28 edition of the Huntsville Times: Senate gun vote makes it easier for nut cases Sunday, February 28, 2010 Huntsville Times Sports Columnist Mark McCarter From two short stories in our Friday paper, just a page apart...

Afraid I have to respectfully disagree with that, at least technically. I've conducted DOT HazMat training for 20 years and although 49 CFR is hopelessly complicated, my understanding is ORM-D materials are still DOT hazardous materials, and anyone engaged in shipping them are still required to...

I agree completely with this advice. I've had excellent service & prices from Bud's. Even though they've been EXTREMELY busy since the BHO election. But first, make arrangements with a local FFL that that you trust & which is on Bud's list of FFL's who can accept the weapon & complete the...

You might refer him to the landmark study by Dr. John R. Lott entitled "More Guns Less Crime" (updated 2000) in which Dr. Lott conducted the most exhaustive study yet regarding the impact on crime rates due to the proliferation of citizen-carried weapons. In this exhaustive study of crime...

In event you haven't already seen it, and for those who might appreciate a concise summary of the origins and strategy behind the DC v. Heller case from the perspective of the plaintiffs, I recommend the October entry in the Journal of the Federalist Society by lead attorney Robert A. Levy...

I carried the Charter Undercover in my front pocket in a DeSantis SuperFly holster for more than a year. I thought it was just fine. I practiced with it weekly and it always fired, shot reasonably accurately. No trouble at all. I can recommend it - particularly for the price. But I...

I've purchased two weapons from Buds in recent weeks, & received excellent service as well as great bargains. I don't know what else I could reasonably expect. When I received the above note & responded to the specified link with a comment, I received a reply from Rex literally within an...

Someone said: "Sure people are buying the lock revolvers, the people who don't know any better! I guess I must admit to being in that ill-informed group. I've had no lock-related issues (or any other problems) whatsoever with my M&P 340. Works great, lock or no. I couldn't care less...

I purchased an Undercover .38 a year ago & have carried it in a front pocket ever since. I shoot it at the range every weekend. I've probably put 1200 rounds of my own hand loads through it. Never had any trouble with it at all. Lockup is tight & cylinders well aligned; patterns are tight at...

I've concealed-carried & practiced with a Charter Arms .38 spl snubbie for about a year. While the CA is no where near the quality of a S&W, it will readily place shots within a 2" group at 20' from a rest (at least for me). Based on my experience, I have to agree with Clint Smith who said a...

I'm not understanding why you think open carry is legal in AL? My CCW permit specifically states it does not permit me to carry openly. The law says this: § 13A-11-73. License to carry pistol in vehicle or concealed on person -- Required. "No person shall carry a pistol in any vehicle or...

Bronson - You're right, I see now in looking down the empty hopper. Well fiddlesticks! Glad I didn't pay much for the charge bar. I've got 8 lbs of Unique to go through. Can't afford not to use it. Besides, I like Unique in .38 spl target loads. Guess it's back to the disks for me...

Thanks to all for the input. Bronson, I was afraid you would say that. Guess I'll either switch to HP-38/W231, or go back to the disk. I sure hoped to get the spot-on accuracy promised by the charge bar, but perhaps I was overly optimistic.

I'm loading .38 spl cases with 4.3 gr of Unique using a Lee Classic Turret Press with a Lee Pro AutoDisk powder loader equipped with the Micro Charge Bar rather than the discs. I'm finding very inconsistent drops of Unique with this equipment. About 1 in 7-9 drops is either way below 4.3, or...

I purchased a new CA .38 spl Undercover snubbie in black for concealed carry about a year ago. I practice with it at the range 3-4 times per month. I've never experienced a lock-up as you describe. Of the approx two thousand rounds I've put through it, I've only experienced two FTFs. And...

Lgbloader, I'll certianly bear that in mind - but don't hold your breath! Before the DC v Heller decision, I was concerned it might go the other way so I started hoarding .38 spl factory ammo. I've got 1000+ rounds of Remington & almost that much Winchester, and none of them have this...

Thanks guys. You're right, it is Remington & not Federal. My mistake. Thanks for advice, I feel better about using it. The Remington factory loads I've purchased recently do not have this crimp so I was afraid it might be a weird wildcat load. I collect about all my brass by...

I just started reloading very recently so please excuse or ignore if this question seems ignorant. I shoot/reload .38 spl & 9mm only and like most posters here, I usually leave the range with more brass than I arrived with. In scavenging for spent .38 spl cases recently, I ran across quite a...

I must agree with the other responders based on my recent experience. I, too, was on a tight budget when I bought a new CA Undercover .38 Spl for $295 late last year. Fresh out of the box it had a cylinder gap of .011". I don't have the capability of checking muzzle velocity, but I must...
