    Not anytime soon. I think it's great that there are proactive states out there supporting gun rights, and not all about taking them away and making it extraordinarily to obtain one and be licensed to carry it.

    The problem is Chris that many people in the Gov ARE trying to push this agenda through. Thankfully, they are finding it very difficult. However I feel as though they are taking another avenue now. Ammo... it has been months since i've seen anthing for any of mine except shotguns, and even at that it's ONLY bird shot. I know there are people buying it left and right but why aren't the manufactures producing more? something seams fishy and i don't like it.

    Agreed, I was on a 2 week waiting list for 357 ammo, then my gun was stolen so I canceled the order. Ammo is extremely hard to come by these days, especially pistol ammo. Speaking of, I've got a little bit of 357 left if you want it, or no someone that does.

    one thing to remember on the featherweight pistols, some have markings on the barrel of the minimum bullet weight required to use as if you use something lighter it wont make it all the way down the barrel and jam.

    the charge is enough to expell the bullet and instead of pushing the round through the barrel it instead recoils the pistol and the bullet jams half way. (look up newtons laws)

    Yea, I read about that. I'm shooting 258gr magnums for target practice. There's just enough kick to where it starts to hurt after a while, but not os light that when I shoot the defense rounds it's such a difference I can't hit the target. They've got plenty of poop to get out of the barrel and destroy the target.

    I seriously doubt that you can find a round like this...at least nothing in a 44, which this gun is, that won't get a round down a 4" barrel...I have shot 165 gr 44 specials, about the lightest round I can buy in a 44 through mine with no problems.

    Don't know where you buy your ammo, but having troubles like you just described, I'd buy from someone else...

    Just found this


    Switzerland Strips Citizens of Gun Rights

    Despite the vehement protests from many of Switzerland’s cantons (states), the lower chamber of the nation’s Federal Assembly voted to strip its citizens of gun rights, not by registering or confiscating firearms, but by outlawing the storing of ammunition in the homes of the citizens.

    According to The Liberty Zone, the move was led by Switzerland’s small but vocal–and powerful–Socialist minority. And apparently it was a leading women’s magazine who aided the Socialists in the cause.

    Having failed at attempts to take the guns themselves from homes and store them in government facilities, the new law takes aim at ammo rather than the guns. The Swiss are still allowed to possess firearms; they simply will not be allowed to possess the ammunition to use them.

    This is the backdoor method of disarming citizens, and it is very effective.
    The ban also applies to the male citizens who make up Switzerland’s time-honored citizens’ militia. Even they will be required to keep their ammo at approved government facilities.

    The fact that a Leftist minority group was able to convince a majority of representatives in the Swiss Federal Assembly to approve the measure is considered a major victory for Socialism and the push to strip individual citizens of the right to keep and bear arms.

    In a stunning example of what Leftists can do when citizens are not paying attention, the Socialist ban on ammunition in the homes of the Swiss people should be a stark lesson for U.S. citizens who wish to preserve the right to keep and bear arms. Anti-gun groups do not have to register or confiscate firearms to win the battle.

    Rather, the growing modus operandi of the gun control movement is to render a Constitutional right null, void, and useless by implementing legislation aimed at things such as ammunition rather than the actual guns themselves.

    Within the U.S. the anti-gun movement does not even have to introduce legislation. A mere executive order by an Administration in the 1990s has been all it takes for a massive assault to ensue on gun shops, gun manufacturers, and other facets of the gun industry, to begin to gradually rob the citizens of their rights to keep and bear arms. This is presently being accomplished by a rogue arm of the Department of Justice–the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives–which has succeeded in shutting down 80% of the gun stores, and gun and ammo manufacturers, within the U.S.

    The prevailing wisdom, similar to what we find in Switzerland, is to attack gun ownership by focusing on various facets of the gun and ammo industry rather than to directly attack the citizens’ guns. This effectively renders useless any supposed right to own, possess, and use a firearm without addressing the firearms themselves at all–a perfect example of disarming the citizens using the backdoor method.

    Switzerland has been the last bastion of real gun rights in Europe. Now even the Swiss have fallen to the sly and seductive ways of the Socialist anti-gun movement.

    well i guess we will have to use baseball bats, knives, homeade stuff to defend ourselves.

    when these people finally get their way, they sure are gonna wish they had just left it alone when we get invaded or when they get robbed or need to defend themselves...

    as i said, id rather be dead than not be able to defend myself.

    Yep Dicks, Bass Pro and Sportsmans are all like that with just about everything including reloading components.
