    Ever hurt by a firearm?

    Imagine using an M2 .50 cal barrel as a handle when climbing up on an armored vehicle after the weapon has had several boxes of ammo run through it. It becomes one big blister. Yep, that was me at my first .50 cal qualification.

    Looking for 22LR semi-auto

    I bought a Smith & Wesson 22A-1, for less than $200 new. It works and is as accurate as I am. I wasn't expecting much and got much more than I expected. http://thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=101545&d=1247610733

    I dont see moderator under your username. Really, it seems you called me out with: Ky Larry: I vaguely recall seeing something just like that on TV not long ago. It was on one of the shows on either Wednesday Night at the Range or Thursday Night Shooting. They shot ballistic gel with a 5.56...

    Divemedic, anecdotes? I simply stated what I had seen, the truth without embellishment. Good for you, I've seen a few myself. That means you're responding to calls. Did you at least try to stop him? I mean, you really saw him shoot himself in the head? Couldn't you just shoot the gun out of...

    Where do people get these goofy ideas?

    OK, real world here. About 10 years ago the fire dept. I was a member of was called for for an attempted suicide. When we got there we found a fellow who had shot himself under the chin with a .22 rifle. He had an entry wound under his chin and an exit wound on the very back of his head near the...

    "Primer & Powder Crisis" tonight on CNN!

    I'm in Lawrence too, saw the article. I'm having trouble finding bullets and primers, but no problem with my powder of choice, Unique. I talked to a guy the other day that is convinced the ammo mfgrs. are halting production because of pending laws on microstamping ammo.

    Issue with 45 auto load,Help.

    From the way I read the OP, seems to me the COL is too long. Bump it in another 5-10 thou and see what it does. I had the same problem with some LRN that had a shoulder on them (do yours?), pushed them back a little and was off and running.

    2A has been incorporated
