How would a 10mm stack up in a pin match. I have a .44 special that my dad shot a pin match with decades ago, but I also have a 1006 S&W that I'd like to take out more often. This sounds like something it could do. Hk mtbr, how many rounds was it tking you to clear the table on average?

Warp, Do you order them direct? And, if you do is there a minimum quantity? What is their price direct?

Thanks for the info guys. Now that I got the straight poop from you I will look elsewhere. Here's what I'm after; I want the best price on 125 gr. 9mm FMJ or plated bullets. I typically order them 2000 at a time. I want them to be fairly accurate but we don't shoot MOA in our sport anyway. Let me know where you are buying yours and why. Thanks you guys have been a great asset in my first year back at reloading and shooting. JZ

I love the bunnies' rear naked chokehold. That was wicked!

Priceless

Searching the web for cheap components, I came across these guys and liked the prices. Has anyone purchased ammo from them and were they satisfied with the products. Thanks, JZ

That music is almost 30 years old. Think back to what your parents were listening to when they were your age. Was it the music of their youth or music that was new? Chances are that you are starting to sound like your parents did at your age. Yes, that's right, you are the grumpy old fart now who thinks that the kids these days listen to crap! It happens to most of us because it is the music we listened to as impressionable youngsters that can still get us charged like it used to, while new things just sound foreign or lame. Welcome to the club

I did talk the wife into letting me buy more bullets. As of now that's where all my side-job money goes.

Sounds like business as usual for an American company in South America. I know that sounds awful, but even the CIA has been party to such things before. Not trying to bash anyone or such, just had a close relative that was party to similar things. After talking with that relative for a few hours one evening, I didn't want to know anymore. Corruption and payoffs to the people with the guns is typical in any country where the state does not control the countryside 100% therefore giving other factions room to breath and grow. For all we know, Chiquita may have seen this as the cost of doing business in that country. Fruit, oil, timber, minerals, they are usually in the heart of Indian Territory or outside zones controlled by the state completely. In such cases, the companies usually are paying both sides to allow them access to their feilds/mines/orchards/railheads/etc.

Limited, It's what I had to shoot when I joined USPSA.

Live long enough to see my girls out and living on their own so I can go back to chasing their mother around the house like I did in my 20s Realistically? See another part of the world in an un-miltary fashion. Like with family and out of the elements while sleeping. Previous trips abroad were all courtesy of your tax dollars.

I was bullied at an early age. In our neighborhood I was jumped and beaten by the other kids when I was four years old. This in turn made me a bully when I reached public school in the Third grade. This issue was rectified by a short nice kid named Chris whose parents thought it good to have their small boy learn Karate should he ever come in contact with a bully. It was the quickest lesson I have ever learned and I later became friends with him hunting rabbits and coyotes in the dunes around here through Junior High and High school. While I have been in fights since then, I have never provoked another person since. We have since grown apart and I still think of him and wonder how he is doing. Here's to Chris Carlson for teaching me a life lesson that I will carry to the grave and which made me a better person INSTANTLY!

That was my Summer when I was a kid. I can remember the day we went up to the Circle K and there was an Astroids game over by the magazine rack. I went home with my Icee or Freeze, but not my Jolly-Ranchers. I just had to try that Astroids. Thanks for the walk down memory lane

Bay 4 again with the plate rack. This time I e-mailed a fellow shooter who I really think has a good attitude and he showed up. This was to say the least the best practice I have had yet. I practiced for a half an hour before he arrived on draws, first shots, reloads, and weak hand. I seem to be improving with the first three, but not doing the greatest with the last. So I shot sveral hundred as a southpaw until my hand was dead tired. When shooter #2 showed up with his timer, we did Virginia count timed drills from the 10, 15, 20, and 25 until it was getting dark Drill #1 was clear the rack at the starting signal. Two strings one left to right, the other plates 1, 6, 2, 5, 3, 4. Drill#2 was draw and fire once at the signal. Do that six times from each distance. Drill #3 was Draw and fire from about 35 yards. This was showing me that I need to re-sight my pistol for about 25yd. Did I do good? Well let me just say that I need to spend more time dryfiring and more time livefiring. Still, it was fun and educational. Thanks Dennis for showing up and being a pusher when I needed it. Chris, I hope you get out there next Thursday and we can put up some different things to really tune it up for this months match. JZ

UPS on my SH&* LIST now! Seems a scope is not much different than any other optical evices one would ship.

Does it come with GPS, Garmin, or those cool liquid filled orientation gizmos of days gone by? I think they were called compasses.

This will change the way you look at range brass forever. You will find yourself picking up calibers you don't load so that you might trade it for brass in your caliber, powder, bullets, primers. I usually find the desire to dryfire after I reload, or reload after I dryfire. I only have a SBD, do you have to get a 1050/650 to get the wife to leave?

Many happy years to you and your wife!

Buddy, my Wife's family is from Central Texas, and North Western LA. They may not be healthfood poeple, but they are FOOD PEOPLE. I like fried meat pies, gumbo, roundsteak rice and gravy, pork chops and dirty rice, jubalaya, and chicken-fried steak mashed potatoes peas and gravy....oh this list can go on and on. I just wish my wife knew how to or liked to cook like that. That leaves me, a culinary school dropout, to cook for our family. I find the best recipes by word of mouth, hence the questions on food here. If you want to get a good recipe, ask a friend or acquaintance what they like. You usually get a no-frills down home answer that pleases the palates of both adults and children.

Nik, The girls thought yours sounded best so I will be mking it tomorrow. I will let you know how it went and thanks y'all once again. I think you people are the BEST!

Back to competition, first time in a looong time. Today was the USPSA match at Palm Springs Gun Club.I was squaded with the match directors and several great guys. I wish that IPSC had been this way back in the day. I am all for high round count run and gun. This has bitten me hard. If you ever get discouraged about dryfire and practice, you need to go shoot a match. That was just about the most fun I've had ever. I did well for a newbie until I got to the classifier where I promptly choked! I failed to seat the magazine on LMR and drew and fired on an empty chamber. This threw a 48" wrench into my game plan and I proceeded to get a procedural, two or three mikes and several other things that I've forgotten or chose to forget selectively. Needless to say, if I had shot the rest of the match as poorly as the classifier, I may have had a worse time. But being a newbie to this angle on practical shooting I feel that my feloads and draws were good and that I was able to move and shoot well for my level of proficiency. I just want to thank Chris and Hartman for putting on a good match and for being such good hosts. They are great people and I will be back next month. Shooting steel is fun, SC is cool, Stock Gun and Speeding Zone also, but the IPSC match at PSGC ROCKS! Now, planning on practicing strong-hand and weak-hand only on Thursday. The qualifier has shown me my major weakness and I want to push to plug up that hole in my game. To all of you who have given me humble and sage advice, I want to say thank you and thanks for giving me a place to inquire about this sport without fear of ridicule. Like Merlin Orr has said, "I love you guys."

C'Mon GlockSpeed. I just said chicken. You give me the recipe and I'll make it. Me and the kids like chicken( baked, broiled and fried) I was online looking and didn't find anything interesting so I came here 'cause I've seen good recipes on this site. That's the cool part of this forum. Tightloop where are you?

I have skimmed two good recipes from this website. Seems shooters know how to cook. Mus t be because we know how to eat. Looking for a good chicken recipe for tomorrow night. Thanks, I await your brilliance ,JZ

I so need to work on that more! But yours looked great!
