Got a used 2022 in 40S&W for under $400. I love shooting it. Very accurate.

HOWARD J - I will try that. Thanks, Glenn

Try to explain more: 1. I was using my progressive Lee press as a single stage press. So I was just resizing and depriming. 2. When it became 'sticky' I disassembled the resizing/depriming die and took out the decapper. It is a Lee Carbide die and I don't use any lube since it's 9mm brass...

I reload using a Lee Classic Turret Press. I have used the same 9 mm die set for the last 3-4 years. Not sure how many I've loaded - maybe 2-3,000 a year. Tonight it was very difficult operating my full length sizer - I was just using the sizer to take out the old primer and put in a new...

I have to agree it must have been a squib. I learned quite a lot through this experience and thankfully no harm. I guess the 'big guy' was looking after me. thanks for all your input.

HKGuns - you are right the slide did not lock and I had to manually lock it. I believe the brass came out so I thought it was OK. I also looked at the ramp area and did not see the bullet. twofifty - I took a thick hex wrench and just tapped it with a hammer. Popped out easy. Very grateful...

I'll have to inspect the bullet when I get home tonight to learn more. I double check my powder loads: (1) load powder and put in tray; (2) using a stick I measure the powder level in each brass (I mark the stick to a level commensurate with the amount of powder I want). Very lucky to have...

Was shooting my SA RO 1911 .45 ACP today and shooting lead, RN bullets - loaded with 4.2 grains of Bullseye, 230 gr bullet (can't recall primer - I'll check when I get home). Loaded 8 rounds and thought I fired all - target was shot up so I could not count. Changed magazines and the first...

I live in Washington state and will be visiting our daughter in Madison. I wanted to check to see what kind of ammo is available and where. Is the supply any different than it is here in WA?

I love the sound and feel of a 40S&W leaving the barrel. It gets the wrath of being a 'middle child.'

Looking at a used one - listed for $200. Just for fun. Any thoughts about the gun?

You think people bash Taurus (they still do) but don't want to admit they own one and they are really reliable?

I follow our local gun trader website closely (OK - daily). Lot of glocks, springfields, sigs, etc. for sale. With all the Taurus bashing why are there not more used Taurus pistols for sale? (would love to buy a used Taurus 1911)

Saw a 24C for a reasonable price. I already have a G22 that I enjoy shooting. Thought about getting a G35. Any thoughts on a G35 v. a G24C? (I shoot in a Action Pistol League and mostly for fun otherwise).

There is a shooting range about 10-15 minutes from work. Shooting a few magazines does wonders to relieve a stressful day. Clears the mind.
