And then start selling (at discount rates of course ;D) to those of us here at DRTV.Seriously, several of us have bought, or contracted holsters from frisco. I would be very happy to buy reloads from a forum member and I doubt I'm alone. If you like to reload, why not? We'll pay a fair price, trustworthiness isn't an issue, and you (or other reloaders reading this) shoot for free.Whats not to love?

Time. I need more of it. I'm lucky if I have enough time to reload just for  myself. Of course if I put the computer in the gun room or just mounted my reloader on the computer desk...........


I wonder what my wife would say.

The what? I'm not sure I've ever heard of those. Do they help with reloading? Oh, I know what you mean, my tumbler and media separator. That must be it.  ;)

Now that I'm set up to reload it feels like things are better even if they aren't. At least for us they're better. We can go have a 600 round range visit with a couple of the kids and not feel like we're shooting up everything...I just have to stay busy when I get a half hour I go make some ammo.

I'm still not set up for 9mm but I don't shoot much 9 right now...I'm sort of obsessed with 45 acp. Wifey still loves her 38 and has actually been trying my 45s with the less recoil loads. It's fun...gives me something else to do without actually shooting, and feels good when I bring my own ammo.

We used to belong to an indoor range that didn't allow reloaded ammo...good thing I didn't renew membership. They were getting crazy with pricing anyway, but they DID have a lot of nice guns for sale.

Now if we could only squeeze more range time out of each month.

I have been reloading for about the last six months, but only 38spl.  I've been making more of those than I've been shooting and the load recipe is perfect for target shooting.  Accurate and low recoil.   But I want to shoot some 9mm and .22 (forget about .380) .
Talk about .380, has the ammo situation changed what you carry?   Since I don't practice as much with my keltec, I've been carrying my taurus snub with 38spl.   I've been getting more trigger time with that caliber so that's what I'm packing.
Anyone else?    Of course if I still lived in NJ like Jaybet,  I wouldn't have to worry which caliber to pack  :(   Sorry Jay ::)
