    Mag for Jennings-CA 9mm?

    I don't have this gun, but a relative does and I know absolutely nothing about these. Well..I do know the -CA meant it was once a California gun with a 10rd mag. My brother-in-law needs a mag for his. Can someone point me to one? I think I saw a 12rd mag but wasn't sure if Jennings did...

    How Many Rounds Till Failure

    500 and 600? Yikes. I've had well over that in my custom STI 2011...very good fitment and no issues. Runs great. I'd expect 1K or more out of a quality handgun. Guess I need to run my Nighthawk and Wilson to failure and see.

    FN SCAR, at what price is it worth it?

    They are dropping. SCARs were $2150 at the last show in Raleigh. Getting close to good enough.

    I Attended A Police "Gun Turn-In" Today, And Feel Like Crying

    Nothing illegal but don't expect a good response. Those nice guns that show up aren't turned in by someone that knows the value or what they are. I expect those same types of people would also feel very uneasy selling them to you or going through the hassle of meeting someone they don't know...

    I Attended A Police "Gun Turn-In" Today, And Feel Like Crying

    I don't like gun buybacks or turnins either...but no one is being forced to do it. Someone doesn't want a gun and this is a way they can turn it in with no hassle or worry about legalities. If they go to a well-meaning non-LE group they really don't know if it's right or wrong. You have to...

    TSA explosive sniffing

    When I used to fly a lot through Atlanta they would ALWAYS pull my bag after detecting explosives. It added about 5 mins to security...they'd pull it and wipe it down, then check the wipe. I always figured it was residue from shooting.

    Gun show complaints

    You answered your own question. They have lower prices than even online..yet you want them to absorb another 3%. It's not a myth, taking a CC does cost them a percentage. So either bring bash or pay the extra. I used to own a retail store and hated taking Amex... Plus, most of these gun...

    plastic strength vs. steel

    This is a great conversation...20 years ago. Get over it people. Poly framed handguns are very tough or we'd be seeing Glocks with cracked frames everywhere. It's lighter and far easier to shape..plus cheaper. If you don't like the feel (like my wife) that's fine..but questioning strength or...

    How would you check for leading at the range?

    Yeah..just let them know. I alert other shooters even when an RO isn't around so they don't think I'm nuts.

    Pistol Grip v. Thumb Stock on Kalish. Rifles

    I have some thumbhole AKs that I'd never convert. To me a lot of the converted AKs lose the style or history or whatever it is from the original country. Go look at a nice Hungarian SA-85M or even an original thumbhole Romanian. Quality is far above what we see come in now. Even the MAK-90...

    AR fads

    Sometimes it's fad..sometimes it's just that new product/technologies hit the market. New brands with better quality hit so people move that way. A lot of AR owners own multiple guns..so it's not a fad...it's just adding new variations. You couldn't buy a good piston two years ago..now there...

    Bushmaster is up to something...

    Remington already has military contracts going..probably easier to roll this in where as Bushmaster doesn't.

    Is the economy affecting your time at the Range?

    Business for us is booming and that's cutting in to my range time. Plus..it's so cold that right now I don't mind as much.
