    Got Boarded by the U.S. Coast Guard...

    Kinda funny to see squids and coasties get into a "who's more hardcore" debate. LOL. Trained and served with both, and the coasties get my vote. Hard chargers, they are.

    dumb question - do soldiers go deaf?

    Played in garage bands in the 80s as loud as possible. Been to hundreds of concerts, including AC/DC in 1982 (I remember because it was the loudest) Had a flashbang go off right next to my head in training Fired Dragon missile in USMC (wore earplugs, but they didn't help all that much)...

    A guy I know claims he's a sniper.

    My favorite military poser story involves a guy claiming to be Delta Force. I was going to junior college in yet another of my failed attempts at a higher education. This had to be the first or second day of class. I was wearing a short sleeve shirt and the sleeve had creeped up enough to...

    i don't compete in 3gun competition because...

    I voted too much equipment, but I probably should have voted other. I have most of the equipment, but I don't have a lot of time due to my commitment to IDPA shooting. I think the one local 3 gun match day in my area would clash with my favorite IDPA match day, and I am not willing to give...

    Not an autoloader, but it is the last one that I bought... S&W 625JM

    Have you ever shot anyone?

    Here is an answer that is a little different: Yes, I've shot someone. Made 4 holes in him (entered in left calf, exited left calf, entered left forearm, exited left forearm). It is hard to admit this, but I have come to terms with it - it was an accident, or negligent discharge. Thank...

    Like the look of these a lot! I am seriously considering getting some for my SW 625JM. Thanks for the pics!

    S&W 1911 or SIG 220 SAO??

    While I love both guns (I have two SW1911s, not gunsite though, and I have a 220 Carry SAO), I have to say go with the 1911. The Sig is great, but the 1911 has many parts/upgrades/customizables and they can be found very easily. The Sig? Not so much. I know what you are going through, though...

    Tumbler Question?

    I've had really good luck with the Cabella's Tumbler Kit (comes with media, polish and a separater bowl). Not a bad deal at $57.00. I suspect another company makes these for Cabela's to sell with their name on it, but I have no idea who...

    My new Taurus 92

    I love my PT92 AFS... I just don't use it for competitions. I use a high thumbs forward grip, with the strong hand thumb resting on the safety - OOPS! I mean the DECOCKER... RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A STRING! :cuss: Other than accidentally decocking the gun while shooting fast, I love the feel...

    What is in Your Reloading Library?

    Just curious to see what people have for manuals. I've only been reloading for a month, but actually bought several manuals before I bought one piece of equipment. Here is what I have: Chevalier "ABC's of Reloading, 8th Edition" Lee "Modern Reloading Second Edition" Loadbooks USA "45...

    I think I'm addicted!!!

    Really? I thought those things were full of sand... learn something new everyday. I guess sand wouldn't really add too much weight.

    What six months' time has brought me...

    I just recently started reloading and I love it! One thing I find interesting about reloaders is that they are so willing to convince non-reloaders to get into it... like the two gentlemen that helped the OP - that is pretty cool. It is similar with shooting to some degree, but reloaders really...

    could i shoot idpa?

    Sure you could! Go for it, but be good to yourself - don't overdo it! I think with your medical issues, you wouldn't have to kneel if a stage called for it, you could probably get by with a low squat behind cover. Just let the RO know about your bionic leg before a kneeling stage starts and...

    Reloading accidents

    I am relatively new to reloading, and have not had any accidents. To avoid squibs and/or double charges, I clipped an LED booklight onto the frame of the press and pointed it down at the bullet seating station so it lights up the inside of the case. This way, I can see the charge very easily...

    Ruger 10/22 As Home Defense and SHTF rifle

    In a SHTF scenario, I will use my .22 rifle... I will hand it to my girlfriend and tell her to lay down some cover fire while I advance with a better weapon. "Oh, and baby, try not to shoot me in the back.":uhoh::D

    Show us a picture of your reloading bench

    Thanks for all the nice comments on my Roll-Top Reloading Station! :) 308sc - good on you for getting all that stuff yourself! I am new to reloading, but everything I've read says that primers and powder should be stored with some distance between them. Other than that, your setup looks...
