Doc, read you're comment and said to myself at 82 years I'm slowly heading down that road. Thinking back when I was a youngster (70 years) I was still heading to Colorado for my annual Elk hunt and got my first inkling of issues. AFIB creeped up on me and although I fought it I found altitude...

Charlie, within the last year a NJ Supreme Court decision straightened out the hollow point issue and also qualified LEOSA retired non resident police officers carrying within the State. We can thank the NJ police officer's association for getting this issue straightened out. You can now carry...

You are correct Bruce. We can thank the NJ police officer's association for getting that passed in addition to allowing "any" police officer (not just a Jersey Police officer) who is qualified LEOSA to carry in state without getting harrassed. The only sticking point left is the 10 round...

I use the Berry's 124 Grain for my 9MM's. Been through more than a few of them. I do all my shooting outside at this point. When I was a range officer on the PD the Town had built us a new indoor range and tried to save some money by putting in a recirculating air system and of course myself and...

Bruce, you'll be interested in this. I qualified for my HR-218 yesterday and shot my P365XL to insure that I could carry that particular gun. I spoke with the Sergeant in Charge and asked him about the restriction of only carrying the gun you shoot for qualification. Very knowledgeable person...

Jim, my Neice has lost two horses over the years both of which served her admirably. It's a big part of your life that can't be replaced. I've lost animals I have considered part of the family and it's like a piece of your heart leaves with them.

Thanks Bruce, I questioned it because I originally was being certified by an individual who did not use a specific firearm. Now that I'm being qualified by the Sheriff's Department it's a specific firearm that is written down on your card. This is Florida.

I've been reloading for many years with a single stage press. In the past I loaded a "lot" of 45's but now I'm strictly with 9MM. I know it's a lot slower process with the single stage but I normally load 100 rounds at a sitting which takes roughly 1 1/2 hrs. The advantage is when I load 50...

Good shooting Guy. That will keep you warmed up for your HR-218 qualification. Question for you. I did not know that the gun you use for qualifying the HR-218 is the gun you have to carry. I always assumed it was any semi auto firearm. Tucked back in the rules and regulations is a comment that...

I switched from a Red dot to a Green dot and find it is much better during the daytime. Where Red dots will fade the green dot stays very visible. Night shooting with a light is even better and the Green dot sticks out like a sore thumb.

Guy, WW244 is available and shoots very clean with 125 grain bullets. I use it exclusively in my 9MM and have found it is not dirty at all and the amount you use enables it to go a bit further than other powders.

I picked up a box a while back and tried using them for Deer which I found to be disappointing. They act like solids and would be better used as such. Going from a Revolver to a rifle would I'm sure definitely help in the velocity department and may make a difference in performance.

Sorry, meant to say Colorado Fees.

Jim, My first hunt in Colorado was 1999 and the person behind the counter asked for my Driver's license. She checked my DOB and said "you're good to go" My hunting buddy who was considerably younger than me had to show his Florida certificate (which was valid in Colorado) He was ok'd also. Just...

Jim, if you're in the market for primers and you have a Bass Pro in the area give them a yell. I picked up 1000 Federal small pistol for $59.95. The Mag primers were about $3.00 more. Saves Hazmat and shipping.
