Bad 9mm ammo

I recently purchased 250 box of 9mm from: https://www.10ring.com/ To make a long story short, the ammo was terrible. It came 6 rounds short and would not cycle my Beretta M9. Every spent round had to be manually ejected before the next round would chamber, every time, because the ammo was underloade...

I guess part of me was being a little sarcastic in my above reply, because policemen these days must live in fear of doing their jobs. I wouldn't be surprised if all the police forces were limited to batons and tasers in the near future. I'm getting sick of all this liberal bs, oversensitivity, doub...

I have little respect for journalists in general, they all are looking for the next sensational bit of news to exploit.

For normal police duty, I imagine today's 9mm ammo would do the job, but I
would think the police would want to have a high powered rifle available for the
more serious tasks? Is it legal anymore for police to use deadly force when the
situation warrants? :wink:

Issues that made things more difficult, in this situation, were multiple bays being open and used, firing going on in one bay while others are safe, and the baricades blocking the view of downrange. There were a lot of possible distractions available to pose problems for an un-alert range officer. I...

Major pistol range screw up !

Now this guy was lucky. In fact, all who were involved were fortunate. Carelessness almost led to tragedy:

There was 300 rd package of CCI minimag ammo for $28 at Dicks Sporting Goods. Too much for my liking.

Last 4 years?

Has your open shooting frequency gone up or down in the last 4 years?

For me, it has gone down. I still open shoot but just not as much due to the ammo shortage. I did buy 250rds of 9mm the other day, though.

Man, winter has been brutal again this year. In Michigan we have had some snow, but not as bad as the east coast and places. Most of the snow goes south of us. We have been pounded with below normal temps though, and it seems unrelenting. Being within the arctic cold the temps are cold, of course, b...
