Re: First Timer - Spring Squirrel Season?

You'll find a lot of ways to skin a squirrel. I do similar to Machias. Except I don't keep the body. I just retain the legs. If you get your bag limit, you get a decent mess of squirrel legs, without any mess of the entrails. Fry them up like chicken wings. This method works great with redheads (22 ...

Re: Who generally has the best prices on handgun ammo in va?

Most of the ammo that people claim are "steel core" is not.

It's a bi-metal jacket. Lead core, soft steel jacket, then a copper jacket.

Regardless, the steel under the copper does have a very small possibility of causing a spark.

Re: Gap in notifications in VA Tech shootings

I agree 100%

I was a student at VT in 01-03, and am now back on campus as a student (resumed class in 08).

It befuddles me why for fear of my academic career I can carry on one side of the street, and not the other :(

Re: Which pistol powder drops best in Lee Pro Auto?

I've been using a Lee Pro 1000 to load 45 ACP, using the same Auto-Disc. I've found Alliant Unique to be fairly consistent. Then again, I haven't tried any other powders. I use a Hornady balance scale, and whenever I set up for a new load, once the first few throws are done, the auto-disc and Allian...

Re: My search for a new subcompact carry...

Have you checked out KTOG.org?

I've been fairly impressed with my P11. I bought mine new, and thus it is covered by Kel-Tec's lifetime warranty, haven't had to take advantage of it yet (but then again, I just bought it within the past month).

Visit KTOG and give the Kel-Tec a fair shake.

Recommendations for training class and facility?

I really want both my fiance and I to attend some type of practical pistol course. While I'm not new to firearms, I've never really received any instruction on handguns.... I just read some articles and did what felt comfortable and gave the best results. I think I'm looking for some type of intro t...

Re: Kel-Tec Pf9

I shot one this past Wednesday. Revolver-like trigger pull, a little snappy, but the recoil really isn't that bad.

Good enough for SD distances.

I ordered a P11, and plan on buying a PF9 next time I get some extra money.

I traded for a pre warning 10/22 and I don't think it has EVER been cleaned! Take it away Mitch... The thing that gives it away is the tiny spring.....
