The steel cases are also supposedly harder on extractors A big, fat myth. I've put more than 20,000 rounds of laquer-coated Wolf through my XD and more than 10,000 rounds through my Springfield Loaded Longslide. No perceptable difference in wear vs similar guns used with brass-cased ammo. Of course...

Go to gunbroker.com or auctionarms.com and see what they are selling for. Should give you a good idea of the "real world" price.

They sell boats, jet skis, motorcycles, and related equip. Had to have a a new life vest and they were close. All for naught, though. We spent the whole morning prepping the boat a making sure everything was shipshape. Was on the water for less than an hour when the water pump failed. Oh, and did I ...

Lubbock 30.06 posting

Just an FYI - GoodTimes Power Sports on the west loop is posted. And improperly so. They have what appears to be a hand-lettered 30.06 sign above the parts counter at the back of the store (with some kind of "51" circle-slash drawn in at the bottom, for some reason). I didn't see it until ...

I was working with some folks new to handguns. I was taking a lot of time showing them the basics and they were picking up on things pretty well. We finished up and I dutifully checked both guns for empty (for about the umpteenth time) and laid them on the counter in front of me. About that time I t...

Well, after the extended wait and second set of prints the license showed up in the mail yesterday. I didn't realize how radically my appearance has changed since last September when I took the class (I've lost 30 pounds, a lot of it in my neck and face). It almost doesn't look like me anymore! Not ...

How fast you get it depends on how far backed up the ID processing dept is. It might take several days for them to physically make the license. Then figure 2-3 days in the mail, excluding Sundays of course. Expect it to take at minumum of 5-7 days to get to you, and don't be suprised if it ends up t...

Anyone else had fingerprints denied?

Just processed my renewal a couple of months ago and had to redo my fingerprints. They were sent back by the FBI as insufficient. I checked them out pretty thoroughly before sending everything to Austin and they looked good. Guess they weren't good enough. I resubmitted and am waiting on the reply. ...
