I have been in and around one type of shooting sports or another for most of my life. I have found LEOs from various departments and organizations to be no better nor worse than most folks at large save for some basic firearms instructions. Let's not turn this into a bash the cops because they know little about firearms thread. I'm sure we would all like for them to be GM to the last person, but that is but a dream.
To the OP, I would gather that you would not find anyone LEO, or other wise who is on this forum who could actually answer your question. This is after all a shooting sports forum

I would like to see an open 10 division for the old guns and 8 shot revolvers with dots and comps.

That would be cool.

Set of keys wired to my chassis where only I know, and you cannot see without really looking. Will not drop off period. Car, house, and shop on that wire.

Just heard that the Tavor will be offered in 9mm eventually too. Interesting.

Prayers from our family to yours Jaime.

Yeah, at least you were wearing shoes.
Just looking at the bright side.

Gearing up for dryfire is awesome with double belt system. Only you can decide if and when you will get tired of a single for this.

Awesome people.

Here's to your new addition. May she live a long and prosperous journey.

I just pass them along. Never liked the things.

Alright, even though between us we have been there many times, our youngest has not, and we are never disappointed when we go. Kauai for a month in winter. Do the north shore hike with the kids and camp in the rain. Trek in the boogie boards and eat star fruit and ride shore break on deserted strands save the sea turtles. I love hiking the islands. My favorite place on earth. All the benefits of the sub tropics without the poisonous stuff. Until you go into the water that is.

Please expound as the the blingage.

The SDB is great providing YOUR hands and fingers are SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED.
The SQB is smaller than the 550's overall size and a little cramped in the working
area for those with LARGE HANDS OR FAT FINGERS.
The SDB can load up a bunch of ammo for you.
The SDB DOES have a smaller workspace, but I have gorilla hands, and I have NO problems operating my SDB. It makes GREAT ammo, and does so pretty quickly.
I ran an SDB for years and it rocks if you keep it dedicated to a single pistol caliber. Don't even think about changing calibers - way too much of a PITA.
It's just like any other Dillon press. If you have an extra tool head and powder measure, changing calibers is quick and painless.
Pull the 4 tool head bolts, switch tool head, replace bolts, start loading.
Seems to be my experience.

I had similar problems being left eye dominate and right handed.
Back in the day when I shot a bunch of skeet and sporting clays I would put a small sticker on my glasses directly in front of my left eye. Looked silly, but it fixed the left eye dominance issue while still allowing me to have peripheral vision.
I am just getting into some local steel matches and it seems to work with those also.

This is just about the best way to do it. This may eventually lead to your eye being used to it even without the tape. Either way,there is little to no training involved this way, and it just works. Do it for my daughter and other friends that I have brought to the range to shoot.

I ran 4 mags through it at the gunsmith to test it out and very nice, recoil is still next to nothing but trigger is crisp and light as can be
not much else can be done other than threading the barrel and having a comp made but that will wait for now. I want a second slide that will have a barrel comp for major loads
I hope that I don't come off as an A.H. Just love the looks of it and only desire to either see it run or actually shoot it myself.

Want to see it run. Another example of a bad ass pistol that looks fast in the box. Where s the drool emoticon?

If that pot moves........ well you know what to do!

went fishing one time. Is a different boat than the ring incident. Its a 25 foot walk around the cabin with twin 150 Yamaha. Well we got done fishing and we're heading back in she decided she wanted to learn how to drive the boat. We get close to the dock, I get the boat pointed towards the dock, moving slow, and bump it into neutral. I go up and stand in the pulpit, to jump out, so i can stop the boat. I tell her, when I get out, just back the boat up, and I'll go get the truck. All is going well, until she decides we're not moving fast enough to the dock. She puts the boat in gear, and now we're picking up speed. I've got my hands on the bow rail, real close to the floating dock now. ..going too fast... I tell her to put it in reverse, to stop the boat, so we don't slam into the dock...Forward is throttles forward, reverse is throttles back, right? She slams both throttles all the way forward, launching the bow out of the water, onto the floating dock, crushing it. I'm hanging on for dear life, cause I was expecting to be going backwards, not forwards...there are people fishing on the dock, btw... I estimate about 10' of my boat went onto the dock. Realizing what she did, she does the most logical thing in her mind...slam the throttles full reverse. This instantly somersaults me over the bow rail, landing face down on a pelican and seagull crap covered, broken floating dock, with people coming to see if I was alright. I regain my footing (and composure) look back at the water, and the boat is 50 yards offshore, backing in a semicircle, and moving away. I tell her to put it into neutral, and I'll be back in a few minutes with the truck...she's crying, sobbing, said she thought she'd killed me when I flew over the rail... I get back with the truck, by now there is quite a crowd, so instead of risking the same thing again....I dive in and swim out to the boat to bring it in. Not a word was spoken by either of us for at least an hour.....She doesn't want to learn to drive the boat anymore...
Grumpy,you made me cry.

The above is what you do first. Then, with many rounds down the barrel, you may find a load that recoils to your desired impulse. I found that after I learned to properly watch my sights, and track them in recoil, combined with stance and index, the load no longer mattered. (Within reason, of course) You will begin to have less issues with muzzle flip as you build up the three. Some might say that stance and index are not important to recoil control. I might agree if we are talking static shooting of a single target at slow rates of fire. Usually, though, we are not.

I was a career drunk driver. He will not change anytime soon because he still is in the blame mode. Until he decides to take responsibility for his life and the role he plays in it there will be little chance for change.
My DUI changed my life for the best.I am thankful for the CHP officer who pulled me over. I could be dead right now. Worse, I could have killed someone else.
I just think you should distance yourself from him asap. You will be a happier person for it.
