Test barrels are used to determine ballistic figures. Individual firearms may vary. These figures are approximate and are shown for reference. V = Vented test barrel simulating revolver performance. These trajectory tables were calculated by computer using the best available data for each load. Trajectories are representative of the nominal behavior of each load at standard conditions (59°F temperature; barometric pressure of 29.53 inches; altitude at sea level). Shooters are cautioned that actual trajectories may differ due to variations in altitude, atmospheric conditions, guns, sights and ammunition. GD = Gold Dot ®, HP = Hollow Point, SB = Short Barrel ® NEW POWER-PACKED 10MM AUTO The Gold Dot line is now even stronger with the addition of a powerful 10mm Auto load that takes advantage of the cartridge’s capability. While most 10mm Auto offerings produce ballistics similar to those of 40 S&W, Gold Dot’s 200-grain bullet is loaded for optimal performance from the cartridge. speer-ammo.com 5 TAKE TRAINING TO THE NEXT LEVEL If you practice with ammunition that doesn’t match the ballistics of your carry loads, you’re not training—you’re just shooting. That’s why we build Speer® Lawman®. It’s extremely reliable, with feel and point of aim that’s as close as possible to comparable defense loads. All options feature reloadable brass and a Speer TMJ ® bullet with a jacket that encapsulates the entire lead core for clean, consistent performance. LAWMAN CLEAN-FIRE® TRAINING CLEAR THE AIR Lawman Clean-Fire ammunition gives shooters ideal indoor options. These offerings use the patented Clean-Fire primer, which contains no lead, barium or antimony. And the bullet is Speer’s TMJ. This means the lead core is completely encased so powder gases can’t burn lead off the bullet base. Range air, and your firearm, will be much cleaner when you shoot these special loads. THE VISIBLE DIFFERENCE Lawman Clean-Fire spent cases look almost unfired when compared to traditionally primed ammunition. The heavy metals have been removed, producing a clean burn. Lawman, 45 Auto 230-grain, 5 shots handheld at 50 feet, 1.125-inch group Speer TMJ bullet with one-piece jacket The lead core is completely and seamlessly encased in jacket material, so powder gases can’t burn lead off the bullet base Reloadable brass cases manufactured to tight tolerances Clean-burning propellants deliver optimum velocity while ensuring consistent chamber pressures CCI® primers for highly sensitive and reliable ignition 6 SPEER® LAWMAN® TRAINING Bullet Test Barrel Velocity, fps Energy, ft-lbs Trajectory (25 yd sight-in), inches* Caliber Part # Wt.

  • Firearm Safety 1. Always Keep the Muzzle Pointed in a Safe
    FIREARM SAFETY 1. ALWAYS KEEP THE M UZZLE POINTED IN A S A F E DIRECTION This is the most basic safety rule. If everyone handled a firearm so carefully that the muzzle never pointed at something they didn’t intend to shoot, there would be virtually no firearms accidents. It’s as simple as that, and it’s up to you. Never point your gun at anything you do not intend to shoot. This is particularly important when loading or unloading a firearm. In the event of an accidental discharge, no injury can occur as long as the muzzle is pointing in a safe direction. A safe direction means a direction in which a bullet cannot possibly strike anyone, taking into account possible ricochets and the fact that bullets can penetrate walls and ceilings. The safe direction may be “up” on some occasions or “down” on others, but never at anyone or anything not intended as a target. Even when “dry firing” with an unloaded gun, you should never point the gun at an unsafe target. Make it a habit to know exactly where the muzzle of your gun is pointing at all times, and be sure that you are in control of the direction in which the muzzle is pointing, even if you fall or stumble. This is your responsibility, and only you can control it. 2. FIREARMS ACTIONS SHOULD BE OP E N AN D S H O U L D B E UNLOADED WHEN NOT AC TUALLY IN USE Firearms should be loaded only when you are in the field or on the target range or shooting area, ready to shoot.

  • Intro to Reloading
    Intro to Reloading This introductory manual will cover the basics of handloading ammunition. It will include information regarding necessary equipment, required materials, and the reloading process. This is not intended to be a comprehensive guide. Reloading is an in-depth, complex subject. This guide is a starting point for absolute beginners. Further information should be sought out for your specific calibers you are reloading, your specific brand and models of equipment, and your specific reloading components and materials. Follow all instructions that come with your equipment and materials. When someone who has never reloaded their own ammo looks into it, the needed equipment list is daunting and expensive. It is the intention of this guide to make reloading seem easy and accessible. Anyone, even children, can reload ammunition if shown the steps. My 8 year old is more than eager to help me de-prime, drop powder, or resize shells. Hopefully the knowledge presented here will increase your confidence when it comes to starting your reloading journey. [2] Socialistra.org Why Reload? Self Sufficiency: A decade ago, the generally accepted wisdom was “You will always be able to find .22lr. You will always be able to find .223. You will always be able to find .30-06. You will always be able to find XYZ.” After Sandy Hook in 2012, that all changed. For YEARS afterward, certain kinds of ammo were simply non-existent on store shelves. In this Time of Trump, it may not seem to make sense to spend $.10-$.25 more on each round you would make vs just buying the factory ammo.

  • Gun Law History in the United States and Second Amendment Rights
    SPITZER_PROOF (DO NOT DELETE) 4/28/2017 12:07 PM GUN LAW HISTORY IN THE UNITED STATES AND SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS ROBERT J. SPITZER* I INTRODUCTION In its important and controversial 2008 decision on the meaning of the Second Amendment, District of Columbia v. Heller,1 the Supreme Court ruled that average citizens have a constitutional right to possess handguns for personal self- protection in the home.2 Yet in establishing this right, the Court also made clear that the right was by no means unlimited, and that it was subject to an array of legal restrictions, including: “prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”3 The Court also said that certain types of especially powerful weapons might be subject to regulation,4 along with allowing laws regarding the safe storage of firearms.5 Further, the Court referred repeatedly to gun laws that had existed earlier in American history as a justification for allowing similar contemporary laws,6 even though the court, by its own admission, did not undertake its own “exhaustive historical analysis” of past laws.7 In so ruling, the Court brought to the fore and attached legal import to the history of gun laws. This development, when added to the desire to know our own history better, underscores the value of the study of gun laws in America. In recent years, new and important research and writing has chipped away at old Copyright © 2017 by Robert J.
