After my own loud thinking above I probably will not as I don't see how they could make me responsible for understanding that wadcutters cannot be used if only "expanding bullets" are mentioned in the law.

I'm not allowed to load my own self-defense loads based on the law, so this would not be an option for me either way. As I tried to explain, I'm not concerned by directly being covered by the Hague convention, but rather by the possibility that if anything happened (a defensive encounter) and...

Thanks for the answers, guys! I do plan to try and find someone who has the authority to give me an answer that has any meaning behind it. Probably I'll just need to write an official letter to the police to ask about this, cause I'm not sure there are any lawyers that specialize in firearms as...

Hello, everyone! I've been carrying wadcutters in my revolver as I'm from Europe and I'm not allowed to carry expanding (e.g. hollow point) bullets. And although after purchasing my revolver years back I got told by the police (in just "words") that wadcutters are allowed to be carried, I'm...

I already own an S&W 640 J-frame, which is what I carry. Semi-autos are more for home defense and maybe unusual carry circumstances where I think capacity is more important than the time needed to get on the target.

I'm original source for this "gadget" was LuckyGunner (see the link below). I haven't yet compared the original backplate with SCD in hand, but from what I understand and see in photos/videos, there shouldn't be any reason why this gadget should increase the trigger pull at all, really...

Thanks! Unfortunately, MidWayUSA doesn't ship to Latvia. If I could find it somewhere for $60, and the possibly cheapest shipping (USPS, $20), it would still end up costing me ~$97, as I'd need to pay 21% import tax on the total amount spent (goods+shipping), which, of course, is cheaper than...

I'll check out Brownells and my local stores to see what I can find. Great idea, I'll if I can find something that ships to Latvia and is decently priced. Interesting idea, will think about using it for my application. Thanks for chiming in. It seems that probably it would be a good idea...

Yeah, go figure, I'll probably try and measure the diameter of the live rounds and these dummy rounds tomorrow just to see is there any reasonable difference which may cause this.

Oh yeah, it is indeed easy to sometimes get so concentrated on the small things while totally forgetting the larger picture. As for the Latvian from Google, it is correct, although I'd have a hard time finding the "exact" words I would like to translate "the greater good" to, as "kalpot...

After your comment, I thought I'd check with live ammo (still haven't been able to go to the range and until I do, considering my small firearms experience, I do not keep it loaded at home, cause I just don't feel confident enough with it). Until now just had been doing some dry fire practice...

This indeed would be the easiest route to take. I wonder, though, wouldn't the recoil be hard on my shoulder then? I'm not sure how effective are recoil pads, thus, do they actually make any difference. Also, I'm not sure how the "butt plate" looks (I presume just a reinforced rubber "cap" to...

Hello! Wanted to ask a question - I've noticed that when I load up my Glock 19 (gen 3) mag with 15 rounds the round that I can see as the last one in the "round index" or whatever it is called (the holes in the backside of the mag) is #14, that is, kind of suggesting that I have only 14 rounds...

Hi everyone! Wanted to share the first video I made regarding a simple modification for a gen 3 Glock mag release. Made this video cause I did this mod and didn't notice anyone suggesting such a mod on youtube, so thought I share the idea, maybe it helps someone. Cheers

Thanks for the tip on masking tape. I also saw that Hogue 12" stock on Brownelss in Germany, the problem is that they're anything but cheap here (it costs $100 on Brownells Germany, +$20 shipping to my door). The Magpul costs $165 there, with the same $20 shipping, so, way more expensive than...

@CapnMac, indeed a good point with regards to reports from ER, which is just another thing that points towards a conclusion that most probably reliability + accurate and fast hits is above all (at least in the realm of 9mm diameter bullets/rounds).

Read the last post of that thread. Couldn't quite understand, whether the guy had bought a slimmer recoil pad or whatnot, cause on my Mav 88 the stock LOR trigger face to the back of the pad is arounD 13,8". I would need it at 12,8", so, exactly an inch shorter. Took off the recoil pad and it...

@golden, as mentioned before, unfortunately in the local shops there are no options like Ruger ARX or other similar rounds. As for our regulations, they're quite clear - no "expanding" bullets. So wether it is an expanding hollow point or expanding soft point it doesn't matter, as they'll both...

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I'll try to find the thread @Coyote3855 referred to (if he'll not provide the link until that) to look up more info. I've come to a conclusion that I need 1" to 1,5" shorter based on the recommendation of Clint Smith as to fit the stock so that with a decent...

Hello, everyone! Wanted to ask if someone has any experience with cutting the end of the original (plastic) Maverick 88 stock to shorten it? I want it 1"-1,5" shorted so that it'll fit me better. Considering the costs of a Magpul stock (considering I paid 115$ for my second-hand Maverick 88...
