Yep, that's what Wolf calls smokeless powder. I made a little pile and lit it to see if it was powder or filler, and it burned like powder. I'm not sure why it didn't fully ignite, maybe a weak primer? Or maybe something blocking the primer hole? Or maybe a partial charge of powder or some filler that blocked the powder ignition. I'll never know.Doctorr Fabulous wrote: Only the best quality wheat-based gunpowder, courtesy of mother russia.

Just a pop, not even as loud as a 22. Since it didn't cycle the gun it removed both exit points for sound. The bullet was stuck in the barrel so sound couldn't travel that way and the action didn't open there was no blast there. It was very obvious. Even in a loud indoor range rocking good earpro there was no way it could have been misidentified as a full power round. Not even close. There's more pics and details in my blog (in my sig) if you are curious. But I think I've captured most of the details here.Bearcat wrote: What did it feel/sound like?
Mostly Hollywood stuff. Some states have registration, but in general it's just that the writers don't understand that firearms don't have to be registered, and TV has spread the ignorance.BullOnParade wrote:Maybe some of you fine folks can answer a tv based gun question that's been bugging me a while ...

I hear it on cop shows semi regularly. Perps found to be in possession of a firearm that isn't registered. Or an APB goes out for a guy known to have a registered pistol ...
I know you don't have to register your firearms, so what is the man in the box talking about? Is it a CCW thing in certain states?
I've always wanted a shulder holster...mainly for a 1911...and maybe a G17K...oh and an old school thigh rig for a single six shooter...maybe my 686 when i get it...Towanda wrote:Tried to order a Don Hume shoulder holster from buyaholster.com. Received a reply that they are out of stock and Don Hume is three months behind on orders, and they would understand if I cancelled my order, which I did. Then my phone had a psychotic break while I was working Hallowe'en night and I had to spend my holster money plus some on a new phone. Maybe in six weeks or so I'll have enough saved up again to get a Galco Miami Classic.
Shit.

I picked up a couple cases a couple years ago of Winchester clean range ammo for $10.50 a box.

I have really missed shooting my P2000SK on a regular basis. Thank you, Cabelas!

I knew NFA items were tracked, but it's never that sort of firearm they're talking about on tv. I was hoping NYC required registration of pistols to be carried by their permit holders. But just another flaw in Television writing makes more sense.Doctorr Fabulous wrote:Mostly Hollywood stuff.

If you hear about a "registered reciever" (almost never on TV) it's in reference to an NFA item liek a suppressor, SBR, SBS, or machinegun.
NYC I believe has registration. As I said, several states do, some even go so far as to require one spent shell from the firearm in question for ballistics. I have no idea where it first started (TV wise) but it got copied from there, and now "registered guns" or permits to own are a staple of TV writing, even in made-up cities or in states/cities where it's not required. It's common enough: one writer does shitty research and a bunch after him copy it. For instance, in California (LA specifically) the big highways are "the [number]" such as "the 405 is all jammed up." It's not common elsewhere, but you see it widespread in TV shows set across the US because the writers don't know better. I think TWD was an example of this: set in Georgia where interstates are always colloquially "I-95" or just "95 North/South" and yet some characters still twang out "the 285" like it's Cali.BullOnParade wrote:I knew NFA items were tracked, but it's never that sort of firearm they're talking about on tv.

The one I use now is a nylon POS that lets the XD slide between my ribs and the seat back when the plastic hub thingy in the back isn't digging into my neck, and which my pistol has fallen out of three times. I really wanted the Don Hume H770-AA shoulder holster because it uses a strap in the back instead of a plastic hub.
