I was just in Kalispell and drove right past Proof Research. Have you looked into their barrels?

Sounds like a neat gun, if you like wheel guns. Somehow I just never got the bug. I've owned a few, but today I own exactly zero. Maybe if I look enough on Gunbroker, I'll end up with one. Like you, that's how I came to possess several of my firearms today, by making a lowball bid that I just knew I'd never win. Nothing like waking up to an email from Gunbroker saying, "Congratulations!." With that said, can you convince me why wheelguns are a good choice for pocket carry? Oh, maybe I could do that myself. I've carried a Ruger LCP in my pocket for a few years and have come to learn that if it has ANY pocket dirt on it, then it won't fire reliably. Ok - what modern, inexpensive wheelgun do you suggest I look for? I really don't like the reliability of the semi-auto pocket guns.

Congrats! That's awesome. Anything you did different that you can attribute to doing so well?

No it's not and the funny thing is I drove about 5 miles from there a couple weeks ago. I really need to come down and give it a shot. :-)

Barry, This sounds like an immense amount of fun. I learned, like many, on a .22LR and probably shot a .22 exclusively for ten years, before 'graduating' to centerfire. What are the limitations on the firearm? Shoot what you bring, which means someone could bring a tricked out Anshutz and have a great advantage. Scope limitations? This intrigues me.

I didn't even know this pistol existed. The older I get the less I like recoil, so I guess I've been forewarned. Although, it would be a fantastic pocket backup gun, I doubt I will ever own one. Thanks for posting!

I've been next to a S&W .460 and .500 being shot in an indoor range. The percussion is enough to make me leave. I've never shot one and have no desire, I've worked too hard at learning how not to flinch, shooting one of these is a flinch teacher. No thanks

This is sad news. Times change and consumers vote which products sell. So many industries change, driven by price competition.

Welcome - we look forward to hearing about you and your shooting adventures

You've got a very stout piece of machinery there. When I first saw it, it appeared to be for 50BMG.

Is this press new or old? I can't find a manufacturer on Google.

This is a major change in the scope industry. It must be slow sales?

Then you have make-up purchases to do. Post pictures!

So every year, or three years, you'll be buying a CZ on March 1st? :-)

I've never owned a Glock, but have shot them. I just don't like them and much prefer my M&P or XD

I can't wait to hear your opinion, I've thought this would be a great gun.

Browning's website shows two models of the Hi Power still in production: http://www.browning.com/products/firearms/pistols/hi-power-pistols/current-production.html Maybe they decided to let it live for a while?

Did you end up buying one? I really like my LCP, but if the trigger is lots better on the LCP II, then I'd go pick one up.

Ruger announced a pistol caliber carbine. https://ruger.com/products/pcCarbine/models.html 9mm, Mag well inserts to accept several different magazines including Glock, threaded barrel, etc. I've been interested in one and this looks like it might be a fun gun.

Someday, but sounds like maybe not soon

Maybe a better way to track orders would be nice. Hopefully he can get you barrel to you soon.

Looks like a stout press for a good price. I like that it comes with a stand that gets it above the level of the bench. Nice also that it doesn't have a quick change collet, makes precision work more precise.

Any idea when we'll be able to buy brass for the 22 Nosler?

Looking at the prices of the Ruger Scout Rifles, personally I would prefer a Mini-14. It seems to be that the price could steer folks to the less expensive and similarly sized Mini...?

As you may know, I live in Chicagoland too and carry every day. First, as of now you can not carry on public transportation in IL. I have carried both the LC9 and LCP. The LC9 is a great carry gun, being that it is compact, light, and snag free. I carried either an LC9 or LC9s for a couple years. The LC9s is simply a better gun, because the trigger is so much better than the LC9. When I bought the LCP a few months ago, with the idea of using it as a pocket gun, I didn't realize what was about to happen. The LCP is so light and small and fits so well into the front pocket of my jeans, while inside the pocket holster that comes with it from the factory, that it's the only gun I've carried since. I also have an XDs in 9mm, which is another fantastic gun and relatively the same size and shape as the LC9 (yes the XDs is larger and heavier, but not by much). The XDs and LC9 are too large to carry discreetly in the front pocket of your jeans, so I chose to carry them in an inside the waistband holster. When you carry all the time, even the LC9 in an IWB hoster feels brick-like after a while. The LCP becomes unnoticeable to the point that I've forgotten it's there. The perceived recoil of the LC9 and LCP are similar, mostly because the LCP is so light that it snaps enough to make it feel like the heavier LC9. My $.02
