I'm not sure on the numbers but Glock does make a full size, compact and sub compact. I have a Glock 19 gen 4(9mm compact) and it is one of the best shooting pistol I have. I do shoot .40 S&W in a S&W Sigma and a Sig P250. They shoot well. I at one time wanted a 10mm but I have read that there is very little difference in the 10 and the 40.

I have read that the CZ 75 is very accurate. It is another one on my list to ad to my collection.

Let me know how you like it.

There are lots of stuff that I'm not into either. I would never tell some one they should start any hobby they are not comfortable with. The way I see it is that different folks like different flavors of ice cream. No big deal. We just like different things.

The Desert Eagles are way cool. Thought many a time of buying one but never pulled the pin. The Baby Eagle in .357 has me wanting again.


If the AK is full auto it is not illegal for civilians to own. You just need to do the paper work and get the federal tax stamp for it. It does cost some $$$$'s but beats going to the big house if your caught.

I almost bought an XD on more than one occasion. My youngest son bought an XD 45 5". It dose pretty well.

I really like the Sig P250. I am an old double action revolver shooter and like the long double action feel trigger. On the P250 the only thing serial numbered is the pull out trigger assy. It pulls out and swaps into another frame and barrel assy. You could get caliber X-Change kits for just over $200 when they first came out. Really cool in that you can just swap stuff around. Full size barrel on a compact frame or vice versa. Or compact barrel on a sub compact frame. Not to mention the different calibers.

I played around with black powder and firecracker fuse a time or two. Nothing major like that though. Just some homemade fireworks.

Just depends on what bullet you want to use. I like Hodgdon powder as it is a Kansas company and Missouri Cast Bullets as they are close so they cost less as per lower shipping costs. I use H110 for warm .357 loads. Hodgdon's site lists for a .38 Super +P load only data for WSF powder. I had that same thing with heavy 147 grain bullets for 9mm. If you stay under +P loads then there are a lot of powders to choose from. If you want to figure cost, There is right at 7000 grains of powder in a pound. Primers cost me $27 a thousand. How I get cost down is I order low cost lead bullets. I bought a 8lb. jug of Clays powder. It burns fast and I use under 3 grains of powder for a .38 spl. Case's are free after you buy them the first time. Or when I go to the range I ask others if they are going to keep spent brass and if they say no I ask if I can have them.

This is the place near me that I buy from: http://powdervalleyinc.com/

I use Hornady Critical Defense factory ammo in all my concealed carry handguns.

Just one.

Double post

No. I do not like changes to guns as a result of regulations made by folks who do not like guns.

No and no. Just not my flavor of ice cream.

I remember the bowling pin competitions. What I was told was that you need not only the proper shot placement but also the proper ammo. To hot a load would go through the pin and leave it on the table. To light would leave it on the table also.

I used to be ok and could compete. I was out shot by my share of women and kids. But I did out shoot my share of folks also. Not no more though. My eyes are not good enough. As I said I do love to relax with a box at the range when I can.

I am really lucky in that I can purchase reloading components at very low cost near by. I avoid shipping cost on heavy bullets and haz mat fees on primers. 9mm and .38 cost about $4 a box of 50. 45lc are about twice that. .357, 40 S&W, and 45acp are some where in between.

Black Powder cartridge is about the most expensive thing I load. Special lubed bullets is a bunch of the cost and large quantities of powder.

I used to plink a bunch at the outside place above. But they closed it off and made a weekend only supervised thing out of it. It's a lot nicer now but also way more crowded.

I have never shot bowling pin in competition or other wise. I did compete in Cowboy Action for a while. They have steel targets and most you just "ring" with a hit but there are some knock downs.

Hey Rob, my range only permits pistol caliber rifle and rim fire under 2k fps. It's an indoor range. There is a public outdoor range about 45 miles away that I could shoot bigger stuff at.

It does happen some. As far as why, I really don't think about it. Just one of them things like why folks like different flavors of ice cream. I have never dated anyone more than a few years either way of my age. I have no want or need to do so now.

Rifle, pistol, shotgun, air gun, or something else? Do you compete, hunt, or recreational?

For me I like target shooting. I have a membership to a local pistol range. I do not compete, except with myself. For me to shoot well I have to slow things down and relax. I really enjoy time at the range. I load my own ammo and shoot revolver most of the time. I do shoot semi auto but tire of chasing fired brass to reload. I shoot both right and left handed.

Me, I keep thinking that there is either 50 year guy who smells really bad smoking a 3 cent cigar or a 17 year old high school boy on the other end. Both looking to scam me for money. So I just message through this site. When I get a face to face then I will see about giving outa phone number. As noted even if as advertised there are lots of crazy's out there.

I don't care much for telephones any way. I do like my computer.

I am a Male. Really. Trust me.

Where I am from you have a right to protect yourself. That is the test for if charges are filed. Not really enough information to apply that test to this. I have read that some places extend that to your property. Of course this would be in regards to criminal charges. Civil charges have different rules. Looks like folks are getting in line for the lawsuits.

It was her house so she had a right to be there. Were this to have happened in my home town the focus would be on the confrontation and if a reasonable person would feel in danger of great harm or death.

Had she been home at the time of the break in, the laws here say that alone is enough to shoot.

I have to agree with msharmony in that the info posted dose not have enough info for us to know what happened or what is legally permitted.

I hold a Conceal Carry License in my home state. But different states have different laws. So folks from different states will see this different from a legal point.

I need to lose more weight, and build more muscle.

I want ice cream, BBQ, a good cigar and a glass of fine bourbon.

Oh man the conflict.
