    Biggest Disappointment?

    I've had a few disappointments but the biggest was a Kimber Ultra Raptor. I sold a really nice Mesa Boogie guitar amp to buy this gun and it just would not feed hollow points no matter what I tried. I sold it at a loss, bought a Glock 19 and never looked back. Other failures were a Glock 30...

    two scales not reading the same...

    Which FA scale are you using? The Micro is pure crap. As the battery voltage drops it will read farther and farther wrong and it has no voltage indicator: The DS-750 is pretty good and comes with a check weight:

    Replacing 11-87 with 870?

    Look up some videos - the trigger group is really easy to remove/replace. It stays a single unit and there's no need to detail strip it. Don't let the pins intimidate you, they are designed for it. But most importantly to your question, the 870 trigger group is of a similar design and...

    Confused on this regulation

    and typically the prohibitions are broad and vague while the exceptions are very specific. Unlawful to carry any form of firearm (broad) Unless: you have a license to carry and it's a handgun and it's for personal protection and you don't do anything ilegal with it. (specific)

    Extreme "gunny" behavior

    Taking your gun into the can is not extreme - leaving it unattended while you dump would be irresponsible. My extreme gun behaviors are: I have a dress gun, meaning one that I wear with a suit. There are places that I WILL NOT go because I cannot (legally) go there armed. I refuse to do...

    I-40 to CALI Need Help!

    What about when he arrives on campus? I know it's currently illegal in my state to have a gun on campus PERIOD - locked up or not (that changes soon) so it's worth checking that out for Kali.

    Do you know how many firearms you own?

    I keep an up-to-date inventory of my firearm collection. It includes everything I know about each gun and how much I think it's worth. And yes, I know how many I currently own without looking but I'd have a VERY hard time telling you what they all are.

    Did you buy one just 'cuz "they" don't want you to?

    I bought one way before the latest threat was realized. I knew it was coming in some form or another and it would drive prices up. I bought because I wanted a rifle. Pissing off a liberal is just a side benefit.

    9mm powder/accuracy questions

    New to reloading + accuracy issues tells me to examine your crimp. It's pretty common for new loaders to over-crimp semi-auto rounds which can deform your bullet and seriously degrade accuracy.

    Your favorite trusted/avoided ammo?

    I avoid these two brands because I have had fail-to-fire issues in the past: Remington Golden Bullet 22LR Federal Hydrashock 9mm and I avoid any hand loads I didn't make myself.

    9 mm brass will not fully resize

    Sounds to me as if the shoulder of the depriming pin is bottoming out in the case. If that's so and it is NOT happening with other headstamps then you should cull the .FC. cases as they have a smaller capacity which may result in higher pressures when firing.

    Advice on Daisy BB gun

    The snakes are coming for food. If you prefer rodents over reptiles, forget the BB gun and get a shovel. It will be much more effective.
