If kauai takes a hard strike, those stupid hippies are going to wish we still still had the superferry available.
They seem to be quietly trying to redefine what a firearm is....Along with that, they also seem to be scrutinizing the 80% lower/frame concept as well. The commercially available 80% lower concept might soon be toast.
ATF Is Classifying .50 Cal Bolt Action AR Uppers As Firearm
Yea, I keep my ready AR mags loaded to 28 or 29 as trying to put the mag into the gun with 30 and a closed bolt requires you to firmly bang on the bottom of the mag and then rip at it to see if its in there good or not. In a stressful situation, it would be very easy to overlook that without training past it.
or not seating mag fully and checking it...

Yeah that too.
Now that I think about it, that's what happened to me at the match.
The problem was that I was practicing with a new gun at The bullseye range where only 5 rounds are allowed.
So when I got out to the action bay for the first time with that pistol, I loaded the mags up to full capacity.
When the mag is full it takes a lot more effort to lock in.
Just as an initial observation, lead boolits will help keep the pressure down a bit compared to a comparable jacketed bullet. However, if you push a lead boolit too fast you will experience accuracy issues. And possibly functioning issues. This is just a general observation as there are so many variables that have not been stated there is no way to tell exactly.Thanks inspector! I think I hit that point of accuracy issues and functioning issues
I have one of those laser cartridges, but it's for my HK USP 40 Compact and I rarely shoot that gun and almost never dry fire it. Not sure if it's still available, but it was meant to be partnered with this electronic target, maybe 5"-6" square that would register hits. It was pretty cool, but I never bought it.Yep, I'm cheap as hell when I can get away with it. I just use painters tape and slap up a shoot-n-see and point the phone at the target to register the hits. I wasnt about to pay $100 for the whole set up
Nan desu ka?OF, was going to get in touch with you about these sooner or later. I dont have the dies in yet (or the gun, just at HPD today, lol).
Figure HPD short over 200 officers, victims getting letters saying they can't investigate due to manpower shortage. Might as well apply.Are you using that as your justification? Do let us know how it turns out.
So being a newbie i had my dummy moment i read somewhere in here that said to let the slide slam and that worked i guess i was just being to soft with my pistol. I've been doing allot of research to learn more and more about pistols, cant wait till i finally get to take it to ukumehame on Sunday to finally test my 1911 out.
The "Most Liked Negative Review" at the link you posted says:Hah yea, I just saw that. Like I said, I dont have those in semiauto versions. The OP is looking at 45 so please disregard what I posted.
I've used ST Action Pro dummy rounds for many years. Never had an issue.I've got a set of those in 9mm. Orange fake bullet and recessed orange rubber thingy in the primer pocket in some kind of crappy silver colored casing. I dont believe theyre intended for dry fire because of the exact reason you said - the inserts are recessed in the primer pocket and the firing pin wont touch it. Firing pin has to have some kind of cushion for when it thwacks, otherwise, its kinda like you punching the air full force(not a great analogy, I know) - it hurts more than when you hit something solid.
Careful if you order on Amazon. I've read reports the plastic inserts crack on those after little use. Also, one Amazon listing said of a .45 ACP ST Action dummy: "Not intended for dry fire".
I have a feeling some of these are not factory products, but maybe knock-offs. Just my feeling, based on the price and comments/description.
The inserts are recessed from the primer pocket, preventing any damage to the firing pin.

maybe it'll be simpler to just apply for a regular pistol permit since the local FFL will already have it? That would also make selling it later easier if you decide -- no worries over the C&R-is-not-a -business restrictions.Yup, got it.
You're really making this complicated. I can't tell if all your comments refer to Hi, NY, or both.Pardon me flapp, I am new-ish to the C&R world and am currently trying to navigate it while staying on the correct side of the law.
