Re: OH: Key Bank told hero cop who stopped robbery not to come back
If you are using your bank as anything more than a clearinghouse for payments, you're doing it wrong. People are operating under assumptuons about RoR in savings deposits that haven't been accurate since the Reagan adminstration. If your bank happens to be the single institutuion whose interest rate...

Re: John Cornyn of Texas is focused on bump-stocks
Have they confirmed that he only used bumpfire and not a modified lower? I thought that was still up in the air.

Re: John Cornyn of Texas is focused on bump-stocks
I shot a full auto M16 at a local indoor range once just to see what it's like. I found that even at 20 yards, I was over the target's left shoulder by the 3rd round. I didn't fire more than a 3 round burst as 3 was my limit for safe, controlled fire (not accurate mind you, just just sufficently acc...

I appreciate those who have taken the time to read over this and reply. I'll get in touch with a lawyer in the morning.

Re: Why Glock didn't make the Army Cut
The P320 seems like a departure from all of the things that made the older generation of Sigs great pistols. I love my X5, Trailside and my P232, but I don't see anything in their catalong that reminds me of those guns. It's as if they view the P22x series as legacy models. The triggers on my Sigs a...

Re: Property/Legal Question Regarding Firearms
1.) How would I prove to the court that my firearms are worth that much? $3500 is on a statement from VISA and his emailed receipts, but the rest of the value is in guns that can't be appraised at the moment. 2.) Will those liens help me to get my property back? They're worth far more than their mar...

Property/Legal Question Regarding Firearms
I am looking for advice on recovering firearms from a gunsmith. I have several firearms, including two belonging to my father, in the shop of a local gunsmith for various sorts of work. We've been doing business for about two years, and he's always done great work in the past for very reasonable amo...

Re: Words of Wisdom from another forum
If you reload and don't mind a 5" barrel, the 357 Sig is probably the best handgun caliber ever invented. When I read posts like this, I wonder at the lack of acceptance. Cheap ammo is certainly an issue, and without an AP press the 357 Sig is not cost effective to shoot. However, as it uses a ...

Re: Just Got Plastic, Looking For Advice on Clothing
I really appreciate all of the advice. After a few months of puttering around, I find that I mostly I use a Sig paddle holster at 4-5 o'clock. I don't make any special provision for a nice belt, and as its a button retention holster, it's still pretty speedy to draw. I find myself reliant upon fleec...

Re: Longetivity of ammo
I agree on .357 Sig (or any necked case, but not sure how many .40 Super/.400 CorBon or 7.62 Tokarev carriers there are) suffering setback issues. Whether factory or handloaded, the bullet selection and crimp are both vital. 124 grain 9mm FMJ bullets with a graceful ogive cannot be made to magazine ...

Re: Just Got Plastic, Looking For Advice on Clothing
That's a really cool idea. I had assumed that pocket carry was out with a pistol this big, but the value of this forum is unlearning all of the things that I only think that I know.
Much appreciated!

Just Got Plastic, Looking For Advice on Clothing
I got my card a lot sooner than I expected (~3 weeks), so I haven't had time to roam around my house armed yet. I just got my P232 stainless in, and I will set the springs up for 90 grain Underwood +P loads today. I mention this to point out that the P232 with Underwood 90gr XTP +P loads is a compro...
