They are nice cars, I know my car is fast could not imagine how fast that ZL1 is.

Did I mention I love to fish!!!!

I love to fish!! use to hunt but getting soft with age, plus wife is a animal lover. I collect and consume Jack Daniels products. I have a love of cars, I own a 1968 Camaro and recently bought a 2010 Indy 500 pace car Camaro that was used at the track, take it to car shows, have a lot of fun doing that. I also ride a Harley, that is my mental health time. But my best hobby is my family!!

Amen to that!! welcome to a great site!

Welcome, good people on here with a lot of knowledge.

I went to CVS photo or Walgreens for my photos, I believe it was $8.00 for a set, Ask for passport photos. Good luck with your form 1, the worst part is the wait!

I reload thousands of rounds, I wish I had the time to do what you guys do , I need to be able to perform volume annealing, that is why I am leaning towards a Giraud. this thread has been very informative, some good reads out there.

Don't be a hater!! <lmao>

ACOG TA11E-G , you should have seen the look I got from the wife! when she read the email confirming purchase oh boy!!! she'll get over it! <laughs>

Love Sigs, carried a 229 for years before we switched to the M&P's, I still have mine along with a 239. Nice pistola Po-po!! Enjoy!

This is Winchester Ranger LE Ammo .40 180gr Bonded, You LE guys make sure you check your ammo if carrying this stuff. Be Safe!

This was transmitted today to our agency; The FBI is working with Winchester on a potentially serious condition affecting all recently produced .40 S&W, Winchester, Q4355, 180grain, Bonded SERVICE ammunition. Some of the cartridge casings were produced without a flash hole. This condition completely eliminates the ability of this Service cartridge to fire – this is a “silent killer” in that no visual inspection by FBI personnel can detect this manufacturing defect and it would only be known at the time the Agent attempted to fire their handgun. A limited number of problems have been reported however this is such a dangerous condition immediate action across the FBI is necessary. Affected ammunition will have a four character “day code”, two letters, two numbers, i.e., FA 42. All Q4355 with day codes beginning with the letter F and any Q4355 with the two letter combination of EN are included in this recall. This ammunition must be removed from FBI service weapons and magazines IMMEDIATELY. Again, boxed ammunition with the following codes must be removed from service IMMEDIATELY: Product Code: Q4355 Day Code: Any code beginning with F or EN See attached file for photo identifying the location of these codes on the ammunition box. . This recall only affects Winchester ammunition Q4355, 180grain, Bonded SERVICE with day codes outlined above.

Just wondering how many of you guys anneal your cases? I was considering purchasing a Giraud Cartridge Case Annealer, but the price is making me question the need for it, I do alot of .223 reloading but .223 brass for me is not a problem, 308 on the other hand, I do not have the ability to get it for free so wondering if the investment is worth my while?

Thanks for the info, I am aware that it goes from lot to lot, thats why I like to buy 4 jugs at a rip.

I have used Gray engraving for some work, he does Laser engraving and the turnaround time is fast. Here is a link; http://www.graylaser.com/

Well put, I have been a Colt fan since I was a kid dreaming about owning one and I feel it's a time tested company that makes a great product. I own 5 of their rifles and numerous handguns and have never had any issues with any of them. I also collect old Winchester lever rifles and love them as much as my Colts. I guess I drank the kool-aid then, and I would not have it any other way. When other cops ask me what my preference is in Milspec rifles, I say "Colt" And by the way I like Grape Kool-aid!

Check out Tactical Link, they make some nice slings also but pricey. http://www.tacticallink.com/

I order my powder from High-Tech, I know they have some in stock, recently picked up 4 8lb jugs of WC844 all the same lot, considering splitting the next order for 2 WC844 and 2 WC846 to try. What kind of numbers are you getting with 846 in 308 and 223? how is your grouping?

I have been using them also, good company to deal with.

Shooting Advice from various Concealed Carry Instructors. If you own a gun, you will appreciate this. If not, you should get one and learn how to use it: A: Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians. B: Its always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. C: Cops carry guns primarily to protect themselves, not you. D: Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length. E: Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off. F: The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second. G: The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win - cheat if necessary . H: Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it'll be empty. I: If you're in a gun fight: 1/If you're not shooting, you should be loading. 2/ If you're not loading, you should be moving, 3/ If you're not moving, you're dead. J: In a life and death situation, do something… It may be wrong, but do something! K: If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about? L: You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language. M: You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family
