Tracking Point scopes

It is supposed to allow you to consistently make hite up to 1000 yards even without holding perfectly on the target. False. You still must hold directly where the scopes algorithms say you need to in order for the shot to be made (and thus the hit). The scope does not guide the bullet, it merely does not allow the rifle to be fired until it is in the correct firing position for a hit. And 2nd, it allows for hits at greater than 1,000 yards.

I *virtually* tested one of these at the NRA convention this year. Is it a gimmick? Well, that depends on your definition. Does it work? Yes. Will many people be able to afford it? No.

You cannot just buy the scope. It is connected to and only works with one of their rifles so you are purchasing a package. You also must use their ammo because it is what the scope is calibrated for (and no, you can't recalibrate it for your own handloads or other factory ammo).

It won't track targets moving faster than 10 MPH and if I understood him correctly the gun fires itself after the shooter has marked the target? That raises more problems than it solves in my opinion. I'm not sure about the 10 mph figure, but I would bet that it can track a target faster than that. And no, the gun does not automatically fire itself after the shooter marks his or her target. The shooter must enter the wind, then tag the target. At that point the target uses a built in laser rangefinder to range the target and automatically adjusts the scope accordingly. After this, the user is able to pull and hold the trigger (and they are HEAVY triggers) whenever he or she is ready to shoot. While holding the trigger, the shooter guides the crosshairs back to the "tag" and once the two line up the gun will fire. If the shooter is not holding the trigger down then the gun will not fire.

hi point C9 9mm

No, I don't consider it a good starter semi-auto pistol for your stated purposes. If it was for home self defense, it would probably pass. You can find used Hi-Points all day long - people dump them for better guns, so there's no shortage of them. If you could get it for under $100 and its in great condition, then someone might be doing you a good turn.

I'm just going to throw this out there. There are a lot of gun snobs out there. I am one of them (sort of, but not really). Actually, most folks who like to shoot are gun snobs (whether they will admit it or not). This doesn't mean that they have to have the most expensive, latest and greatest gun. But, it does mean that they like seeing, shooting, and handling "interesting" guns. When you go to a gun range, do you really want to be shooting the gun that screams "I know nothing about guns, but the Pawn guy suckered me into this one swearing it will out-shoot $1,000 guns...."

For a little more money, and some research, you can find decent used 9mm's that make better range guns. Besides, with what you will be spending on 9mm ammo, why chintz on the gun?

Ruger P98 - can be had for about $250.
Star BM 8mm - depending on condition about $250
EAA SAR 9mm - about $290 (Jury's still out on this one)
EAA Poly Witness 9mm - $290

I'm sure there are some others in this range - you used to be able to find police S&W 659's for about $250, but I haven't seen any of those for a long time.

RCE/Corbin Point Form Punch Replacement

Hello,

I need to replace the wire insert in one of my RCE/Corbin Point Form External Punches. Richard told me he used heat Loctite to install them and all I need to do is heat up the punch and it'll come out. Can't get it to come out. Don't want to damage it. Anyone else ever replaced one of these? If so, how did you get it out and put the new one in?

Thanks!!
