I do like my snap caps although I usually just use them to simulate a dud while shooting at the range.

The other thing that is a good training tool is a laser site, it is crazy how much they dance around when the shooter is aiming

Yeah- I detected the jerk dry-firing with a laser on both the glock and 1911. Aiming at something 15-20' away, the dot will jerk right about 2 or 3 inches, even pulling VERY slowly. Pulling with my joint makes it more like 1/4"- I think it applies a little left pressure when the trigger breaks.

I find I actually get less jerk if I pull with my first joint instead of my fingerprint, but that's less natural. Are there any techniques or mods to correct this issue?

Slow, controlled, smooth (but firm) press to the rear.

For rapid follow-up shots with a striker-fired pistol, definitely make sure you are only allowing the trigger back to the point of reset.

And you can't really compare a striker-fired trigger or even a DA/SA trigger pull to the pull on a finely tuned 1911 SA pull.

Pretty much the same proposed legislation that failed to go to vote in the IL Senate this past week is now being snuck into a Sunday session in the House as Amendment #1 to SB2899. This pretty much does away with every common, and not-so, handgun except < 50oz wheel guns. Not sure what sticks would be left, but even 10/22s would be illegal.

The lefties are coming after us, KNOW THAT. You, Mr. Legal Gun Owner, will be required to register your status, just like a rapist.

Educate yourself lads, you need to defend yourself - http://www.gunfacts.info/

Good day in deed!! Have fun!

[kingofthedemo]

Just picked up a glock 17 RTF2 9mm (my first glock) and a few high cap mags, even a 33 rounder. Also Picked up a walther p22 for training since .22 is so cheap. I also bought the factory walther laser, and a guide rod ,laser for the glock.

Does anyone have, or has anyone shot an FN Five-seveN? Thoughts?

I have wanted one for a long time, you have rifle capacity, velocity, and flat trajectory in a handgun. It's awesome to have those capabilities in a handgun. But now they are impossible to find, unless you pay double online (around $2,200) and the ammo has gone up to over a dollar per round, so it's becoming impractical to shoot unless you have money to burn, but it would be a good safe gun as an investment.

I hate that damn gun. Have killed people I know here infamously known as the "Mata policias" (Cop killer) because can penetrate the body armor used in most of the law enforcement departments.

[Samjam927]

wait for the ammo to come back to buy it, have both the 5.7 guns made by FN and love them both

I have one, the only polymer pistol I currently own. I'd never consider it for everyday carry though as it's toward the large side, however the thing shoots where you point it(always helpful). Also, IMO, as an example of industrial art, the Storm is exquisitely beautiful.

Have fun in class.

Top of my handgun wish list, but I think the ammo cost is the deal breaker. What a fantastic gun.

P30 here I come then.

I have heard that the pistol has that reputation down there. There have been a few attempts to ban them here in the states, but they never work. My understanding though is that the blue tip SS197SR ammo is not supposed to be armor penetrating, but the bad guys are probably getting their hands on the AP rounds.

Midwayusa.com has 5.7 ammo for less. They're out of stock at the moment, but they have 2000 rounds for 890.99 or 50 rounds for 23.99.

Done.

Guys, you've got to contact your local reps every week for the next 4-8 weeks, "encourage" them to respect the 2nd Amendment. Phone and/or email. Be polite, be firm. Don't sit on your hands, later-on find yourself saying, "Huh, what happened?".

Also, for an indefinite time, you can procure an NRA life-membership for $300.00 - 1-888-678-7894

Now is the time lads, everybody in.
