KELCIB

you are right (by the way i was a 45b10 serving at the co level and it turned out very well training my guys so weapons don't go back to depot) as far as mags go i crushed all bad m4/m16 mags everyday. every guy i served with went to the px and bought new followers. m-9's wear out to quick

2008 task force legion, cjsotf-ap you know up in the nw corner where the ac-130's were parked

you are right. i could carry, a m-9 as a 2nd wep. never did. as a footnote m-9's don't handle iraq grit to well

buy the nra reloading, read it, then buy some bullet/ powder reloading guides online or books, go from there. you are thinking about reloading so many cals at one time. as per prev reply start with 9mm

bought a sig 238,went to the range,shot up to 50m at paper and steel pop-ups.called my dad,told him how great it was, never keyholed. he said "why should it. all the years you have been shooting with me have you seen a bullet keyhole, esp a jacketed round" isaid no, but m-9's with issue ball ammo keyhole all the time. why?

sorry, didn't know

THEIR ARN'T MANY PEOPLE OTHER THAN MY FAMILY, SOME FRIENDS, AND THE USO @ DFW THAT SHOWED ANY GRATITUDE KELCIB
