Finally got my updated tracking notice. My primers, which shipped on the 14th, will be here on the 21st. Takes a week to go from California to Florida. Wow.
But then I thought about it a little bit and realized that they could not put them on an airplane. That's against the rules. And driving from California to Florida takes almost a week. But the train would be a lot quicker. If they can put them on the train.
Hmmm.

If it had been a Ruger revolver, he probably would not have been able to crush it.
If it had been a Ruger revolver in the 50s, it would have been a single action, and I seriously doubt that a bad guy would have used one.

While researching this - the "how to" - I never did find anything saying "how to" do it. I found many discussions about "why to" do it. And most people seem to think there was no reason to do it.
I recall one person saying that the military sealed their primers because of long-term storage. Ammunition might be in storage for years, decades.
And he said that he never has loaded ammunition last more than a couple of months.
I could not decide whether he shot a lot or whether he didn't load very much.
My wish is to have several thousand rounds loaded for each cartridge I shoot. And since I load 35 different cartridges, that's a whole lot of ammunition stored up.
I know of people that wish to go shoot so first they have to go to the store and buy some ammo. I know of people that plan to go shoot tomorrow so they are sitting down loading ammo tonight so they will have something to shoot. Both of those seem foolish.
You wish to go shoot tomorrow? Go to your ammo supply and get some ammunition off the shelf.
Shoot it all up within 2 months? You are either shooting too much or loading too little, or both.

needs something short like a 38S&W
You're right. Short. They started with a 32 ACP and shortened it.

I assumed that the brush with fingernail polish would be too big. I tried the dayTODAY with the toothpick and that's a total waste of time. So I used the brush. I got a whole 50 of them sealed.
Have about decided that is a waste of time.

Somebody pointed out that once he did catch the gun and crush it.
Somebody? It was me that pointed that out. And he crushed the gun more than just once.

I remember them days. When I first started reloading - 1974 - primers were a penny a piece. Might have been cheaper if I looked. Because I was buying them at the expensive sporting goods store. That was the only place I knew that sold reloading stuff. Dollar a box, $10 a case.
Boy I miss those days. Penny primers and 10 cent bullets. And 25 cents a pound wheel weights.

AOW
Any gun that does not look like a gun is classified as an AOW.
That includes cane guns and belt buckle guns and knuckle dusters and "my friend".
I wonder why he did not list the cartridge? I'm presuming 7.65 Browning, but he didn't say.

That would be nice. And it might explain why small pistol is so much cheaper.
They figured everyone would be reloading 9 mm and 40, so they made gazillion small primers, and now they're stuck with them.
But this was 5000 for 199. And they sold out quickly. So they got some more in and they were still 5000 for 199. And they sold out. The price I have listed now is 349. They are also listed as out of stock, so maybe if they get some more in they will be on sale again. Maybe.

I was just reading about Taylor's new 73 Winchester in 9 mm Luger. The article said it is SASS legal. The muzzle is threaded for a silencer, but it comes with a thread protector. You can get it knurled, which would be easier to unscrew. Or you can get it smooth, which the article says is required to be legal for cowboy.
However they post a picture of the rear sight and it has a white diamond on it.
It has been several years since I went to a match, but back when I was shooting that white diamond on the rear site would be illegal.
Is it still illegal, so it would have to be covered up on this rifle? Or has the rule been changed?
I have no intention of buying one of these rifles. I'm just curious.

Maybe somebody plays.
I posted a meme.
DON'T EXORCISE DOGS ON THE COURSE
I'm certain that was supposed to be exercise. And I'm also certain that that's so the dogs won't leave piles of poop.
But the course I used to play was bounded by woods. Possibly bobcats. Possibly foxes. Certainly feral cats and dogs. And one of the water hazards had ducks so if you got close to the water there was duck poop everywhere. It's been a long time since I played and I don't remember how we handle the duck poop, but I think we just hit through it.
But supposing you tee off and hit a mighty blast down the center of the fairway and it lands and rolls for about 20 feet and stops in a big pile of dog poop.
How are you supposed to handle that? Play it where it lies - just hit it? Take a mighty swing and hit towards the green with your 3 wood, splattering poop everywhere including all over yourself?
I suppose you could just consider it an unplayable lie, and drop - well I would use a new ball - and take a stroke.

Is that how you did it? If not, how did you do it?
