Oh ok, it's good to know that some ranges allow for this. They should definitely restrict glass targets because shattered glass in grass is quite the hazard. I really need to find a range near Providence, RI that will allow custom targets. Anyone with info? :)

I have to admit, I'm not really a fan of shooting at paper targets. Sure, if I want to practice my accuracy that would be nice, but for bringing friends to the ranges, it's much more fun for everyone to shoot at cans of tomato sauce or watermelons - you can actually see the bullet hitting the...

Well, I own a Glock 19 and am simply interested in understanding my gun even more. ...so you are incorrect ;) Now THAT is an answer. Thanks. Makes a lot of sense That wasn't my intention. I just wanted to understand the reasoning behind the Glock "safety" Yeah, the XD is just like the...

I'm trying to make sense of Glock's trigger safety. Can someone explain to me WHY it works? I mean, if something with enough force were to accidentally pull the trigger, then it'll just push the safety in, basically nullifying the whole point of the safety. Plus, for prolonged range...

Thanks for the great responses everyone! :) So...I just let them overpower me and have their freewill at me? That's a lot of headaches and money just so you can save your own life...

I plan on obtaining a CWC license in the state of Ohio, however there are questions of legality that have concerned me lately. I believe for the sake of simplicity, it would be best if I present my question through a rather exaggerated hypothetical situation: You're walking outside and 3...

yeah, the lack of a REAL safety on a Glock is a bit annoying. Why do you suppose Glock didn't go for a standard safety switch? I will invest in a quality holster and practice re-holstering

Great, thanks for the replies. And the echo's ;) So chambered + 1 seems to be the way to go. I'm just afraid of accidental discharge of if someone pulls the gun out from my holster, he'll be ready to use it off the bat. Do people usually carry a spare fully loaded mag on them?

I'm a beginner automatic handgun owner (Glock 19) and I have a few questions 1) When I do acquire my CCW license and I have the handgun on myself, do people usually chamber the first round or leave the gun unchambered? 2) Will the spring of a high-cap magazine (15 rounds) wear out if...

My friend actually has fired a good number of handguns and automatics. That's why the limp-wrist explanation is a bit bizarre We think it might be a faulty magazine. Could that be a reason? This magazine doesn't lock the slide once pulled back...but we did take the magazine apart and pulled the...

Does this limp-wristing jam cause any permanent damage? And 99% guns jam because the brass did not eject correctly, right? Sorry for all these questions...

:D Thanks for the responses and link :) I sure did not clean it after buying it. Should I do it ASAP? And how do you go about a first clean?

I just bought my first ever gun, a brand new Glock 19 :) The next day, I went to the firing range with my friends. One of my friends was using my Glock and he jammed it! He said a brass got stuck and he needed to use his fingers to remove it. We believe the culprit was the bad used magazine...

My final destination is my parents house which is in DuPage county. Chicago is Cook County. Will I be fine?

Nice. I figured having my gun entirely field stripped would be a good indicator to the airline and TSA people that the gun is unloaded. Is this the smartest method?

Thank you for the great and thorough responses. This forum does not fail! :) What about when I board at Midway airport? Do I have to present my FOID card to TSA or the airline?

Hello I'll be declaring one unloaded handgun in my luggage when I'm traveling this holiday season. I already understand the safety procedures such as how the unloaded handgun has to be in a locked hard case and the ammunition in a separate locked hard case I'll be traveling from Columbus, OH...

Thanks for the responses. Yes, I understand the ballistic fingerprinting method before I saw it on CSI. The purpose of this topic was to determine if a bullet can be traced to that SPECIFIC GUN that fired OR just to a general model/make of the gun :D

I was watching CSI and was amazed at how they can trace a bullet from a crime scene to gun that committed the crime. But that's TV In the real life, is it possible to trace a discharged bullet to the gun that fired it or is it just to the general make/model of the gun? Thanks!

Oh ok, it's good to know the double stack is stable since I can definitely see it's advantage. Thanks for the help! :)
