Michigan price I paid $245.00 for my used SD40VE back in February. Mine is a 9 out of 10 with 10 being new. Great gun. I like shooting it, but not as much as my M&P 40. :D

It was a police trade in, so no fired casing. I will try contacting S&W and see what I can find out.

Looking for a date on a M&P 40 Serial #DTN7976. Thanks for any info.

Picked mine up last night. I would say 95%. Very minimal wear. Also came with a hard case and instruction manual. Very satisfied. Definitely recommend purchasing one or more.

M&P 40 $309.00 Buds has there M&P 40 police trade ins for $309.00 now. I had already purchased one at a better price due to an inventory error on another gun I wanted. If I didn't, I would still buy one. That is a great price. Mine should be shipping tomorrow.

I live in northern Michigan. Up here most locals have no problem with handguns. I have even open carried from time to time and I have never been asked anything about my sidearm. We get a lot of tourists up here as well and they don't seem to have a problem with carrying either. I have actually...

Thank you all for the excellent comments. I now have a better understanding of what I am doing and I will definitely try to locate the Lyman book. Hopefully the components I have already purchased will work well together and I can get some decent rounds loaded. Again thank you all for your...

Thanks for all the responses. Again I am new to this, so this question may seem silly, but what is leading?

Thanks fredj338. I really hope I didn't waste my money on 1000 bullets. I'll find out soon enough.

I am new to reloading and I read on another website that cast bullets must be at least 0.001" larger than the groove diameter of your barrel. Is this true? Also what are cast bullets and what is the difference between them and whatever other bullets are out there? Thanks and God bless.

Thanks for the info. I've got one ordered.

I am looking for a Lone Wolf .40S&W Conversion Barrel for my 10mm Glock 20. Used is fine. Thanks and God bless.

Any thoughts on RCBS 505 scale vs the Lee safety powder scale? I have a Lee Classic Turret Press Kit that includes the safety powder scale. I will gladly spend $40.00 on the 505 if it is a better scale.
