    Customer shoots 2 armed robbers

    All true and I didn't intend to challenge your recollection or otherwise bag on your post in any way. I'm just pointing out for the discussion that in some jurisdictions and under some prosecutors, applying deadly force to a non-deadly force assault can be enough to prosecute. It's sort of...

    Customer shoots 2 armed robbers

    Even without the pursuit into the street, the guy might have been on thin ice legally in drawing and firing. Could be seen as an escalation from non-deadly force (the fist fight) to deadly force; doesn't help that in your telling the (ultimately) dead guy was first fired upon as he turned and...

    Carry Ammo

    ^^ Is that an argument to never turn on the light switch / fire SD rounds? I'm not sure what the point is - yes, failures are always possible; that's an obvious reality, but what does it say about whether to rotate through SD rounds that have been carried? Trying to minimize the variables...

    Carry Ammo

    Wow! Shooting a magazine or two of your chosen SD round every month or two ensures your firearm (and magazines, if semi-auto) still operates flawlessly with that round, and serves to rotate ammo that may be carried in all sorts of conditions. If chambering the same rounds multiple times in a...

    New 915

    I am in California. I've been keeping an eye out for a 915 to go with my 411. A 915 in the condition of yours might go for double that in CA. Congrats - I am jealous!

    Confiscation after a shooting?

    In the below case, not even used in any shooting, contested or otherwise . . . Wright v. Beck - USDC-CD Cal (LAPD firearms retention policy) - Calguns.net It's pretty much impossible for me to provide a TLDR summary of the above 130 post thread, so I'll just copy the first post of the thread...

    s&w model 915 value today

    I omitted a lot of your detailed, informative post. Just wanted to chime in on the above portion -- I think the 1994 AWB contributed quite a bit to the move away from the 915 / 411 to the 910 / 410. And with new models introduced in response to the AWB law, there was another chance to further...

    New Shield 380 EZ... Nope. Junk.

    This gun is not targeted at me, nor do I have an interest in it, but I see how it might serve as a great option for many. Unrelated point: the G&A article cites a 4.5lb trigger pull, and Miculek's comment in his video leads me to believe that Shooting Illustrated got the spec wrong if it said 6...

    Online Reliable Ammo Vendors

    I've ordered from 5 or 6 online vendors and generally without issues. Like others, I am very partial to TargetSports and SGAmmo. Generally great pricing and very reputable. As a bonus, in the wake of Ammo-geddon in California, both these vendors (as well as LuckyGunner and others) continue to...

    California Ends Online Ammo Sales

    And that is what is so pernicious about some of the state laws from firearm-unfriendly states (CA and NY most prominent among them given the size of the population). Vendors might - understandably - just say "the heck with it" with residents. Even where the law might seem to be fairly clear...

    Value of S&W Semi 4053

    ^^ I've purchased magazines from oldman10mm and was impressed with their quality and condition (and with everything about the sales process and shipping, too). Excellent member to do business with if you do need extra magazines!

    California Ends Online Ammo Sales

    I'm a California resident and this law has been the subject of much chatter and gnashing of teeth for some time on Calguns.net (popular firearm related forum in CA - commonly referred to as CGN). The law will ban (with some exceptions) internet ammo sales direct to consumers come Jan 1. Many...
