Who has used rifle primers in place of small pistol primers?

I tend to think the time would have been better spent in educating than chastising, but the tone/choice of words has much to do with how one is received in their attempts to educate.

It may have been time better spent to say, "Rex, there's a button at the top left of this page that says "Find". There's a lot of information on the subject that has already been posted and you can probably locate it with that function. If you have trouble in using the "Find" function, I'd be happy to help you with it."

Rex, don't be discouraged by the rather poor response given by one member. It is OK to ask questions.

I have had mixed results with small rifle primers in handguns. Some handguns will work fine with them but not all. Your best bet is to try a few in YOUR handgun to see if they work.

Then come back and tell us YOUR results, in your handgun

Your call.

The more intelligent course of action would be to bestir yourself sufficiently to actually TRY looking it up.

Had you actually bothered, you'd have found all this in about 20 seconds - if that long:

Way to encourage a possible new gun owner. I'll bet your dog doesn't even like you.

Instead of showing your prowess at being an ***hole, why not just skip reading this thread?

As you seem to be the one whose delicate sensibilities are so offended, perhaps you should take your own advice.

I find it astounding that such a forum has so little expectation of self-reliance of those posting on it.

There are two reasons to come to a forum.

A. To ask questions.
B. To help answer questions and have discussion on the answers, or in a lesser sense, give the thread direction (drift).

Anything that doesn't fall into the above nicely, goes into bin C.

There is a button at the top of the "posting" window for lack of a better term. If you think a subject has been covered, find the post, copy the URL, and place it in the thread for said question asker to find it- either the straight URL or for posters that are "advanced" in their use of Linkies...
you get the idea.

I can definitely say that I don't know it all, and I know I'm going to ask some more redundant questions.

I think Barney Fife has pretty well summed the situation up, so there's no need in further comment on that.

I also think Amici is right in pointing out some improper responses directed toward him. Anytime one has to use "$" in a word, it's probably a good indication the word itself is objectionable and improper for use in a public forum.

We, as a nation, have become rude, crude and socially unacceptable, which isn't good.

However, I feel certain this section, at least, can rise above what the rest of the nation tends to be.

OK, enough's enough. I will not stand for ANYONE calling ANYONE ELSE an anal orifice. Let's show some respect, folks, K?

I had to defend Erv earlier, and I won't stand for folks beating up on Amici, either. He said, "Acknowledged," above, albiet with reservations, and he's entitled to his opinion as is everyone. Earlier, it was just a question of saying the wrong thing to Erv for the right reason, and out of frustration. I am NOT busting on Erv here.

I can understand Amici's point; it can be somewhat frustrating to answer the same questions every two weeks or so. Just go to the 1980-Present Revolver forum and watch how many times per month the subjects of "The Lock" and "MIM" come up, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. But frustration is not an excuse to lose one's bearing, demeanor, or respect for each other.

With repeat questions, it's OK to politely refer the thread starter to recent threads either by posting links or a POLITE reminder that the "FIND" feature can be your friend.

As I said earlier in this thread, the natural tendency is for people to post the question rather than to use the "FIND" / search function. But we try to accomodate everyone, respectfully. As was pointed out above, everyone's a noob at some point about everything. And with the board software migrating from EVE soon, we're ALL going to be noobs with that software.

Erv was directed to the recent thread on the primer subject, where he can get the 411 he seeks. I think it best if we let this dog go to sleep.
