OK, thanks. How about these - ever used 'em?

I have a few snap caps in different calibers. I seldom use them.
I think most guns are safe dry firing but why take the chance of
breaking a firing pin? If you dry fire, it is good insurance.
You can make them by putting a little plug of nylon from an old
cutting board in the primer pocket of a fired case.

If you reload, making dummy rounds for function testing is easy, just
remember to drill a few holes in them so you know.

I really have little need to dry fire anyway. If you are just working
on your trigger pull, use a BB gun.

I have a couple CO2 guns that I use for keeping my pointing skill up.
One is a good match for my Ruger and the other is a clone of my
Woodsman.
When I was in Md I had a range in the basement. Most of the time I was
shooting the Woodsman. Now I use the CO2 model.
Now days the Air Soft guns are pretty popular. I doubt you could cause
much trouble with them anywhere. You do need a backstop for BBs.
I like an old piece of berber carpet over a 6" "K" (rain) gutter. Tilt
the gutter a little and the BBs all end up in a pile in the bottom
end. Blow them off and reuse them.

Good idea, the BB's. I don't have the book yet, so don't know what it says about dry firing. I
suppose one could always work on their trigger pull at the range, but it could get expensive.

I have always been old school but maybe I will try it again the next

The KP90 is 7 rounds like a 1911 so loading it is not that tough.

OK. The S&W coming has 17 round mags, so a little help in the reloading department might be nice.
Something to add to the birthday list.

Thanks for answering all my questions. I do appreciate it.

Most Glocks and guns that are inspired by them, don't leave the hammer
cocked after each shot and it is always double action.
The thought originally was it was an easier transition for cops that
had a six shooter all their life.



I guess you could call the striker "the hammer," in that they serve a
similar purpose. Still don't much like carry pistols or even defensive
pistols sans safeties or decockers. Even my Ruger 22, which fires rounds
via what might be called a massive moving striker, has a safety.

The assumption is if the striker/hammer is not left cocked after the
last shot, a safety is unnecessary and there is nothing for a de
cocker to decock

Your Ruger (Mk1?) leaves the striker cocked after a shot as did
virtually all SAs before the Glock.

A Glock pulls the striker back and slides a blocking bar out of the
way as you pull the trigger.

What firearms do you own? I'm thinking of ordering one of these:
http://tinyurl.com/bdnanl6

Ever used one?

It is a major thumb saver. I got one included with my M&P9. It works for
9mm, .40 and .45. It makes it easy to stack 17 in the M&P's magazine and
15 in the .40.

If you don't have one buy one.

You may want to wait and see if yours has one in it. Mine came with 3
mags, a holster an mag holster and the UpLuLa.

Store the mags full in a safe place in your house, and at least a couple
of times a week, empty them out and refill them, and you'll soften the
mag spring enough so that loading the mags with your thumb will be a lot
easier.

You could get a Baretta 92FS for less than that.

Hell, there's a whole pot full of guns I could get for less than that! Besides, there was a wise
soul right here on rec.boats that yelled at me, " Buy American Made", or words to that effect.

And, S&W is in the middle of their 'With Thanks to our Nation's Finest' program which gets me a $50

There is a made in USA version as well as an Italian one.

Made in Maryland

17601 Beretta Drive
Accokeek, MD 20607

I remember hearing a news story about a small manufacturing plant in
Manchester CT a few miles from here where they make a gold plated fully
automatic small machine gun, supposed to be the favorite of Arab Sheik
security and other high end guards.. For obvious reasons they didn't
give *an exact location..

Those are also a favorite with South American drug cartel king pins

I got the impression you rode a bit but didn't race, and your daughter

You're too old and out of shape to be competitive, like me.
