I checked for any errors, it didn't find any.  Optimized the database and recounted totals etc, if it still doesn't work try deleting cache and resetting cookies.

I'm sure one of the admins will come along, see this post and check it out . . .

In the meantime, it might be a bad cookie on your end.  Try deleting it and see if it's better.

Pistols / Re: MegaStar & Witness 10mm

Similar durability stories abound for the Tanfoglio / EAA Witness, though the newer large frame models are supposed to have fixed this issue.

I found a large frame witness in 10mm at Bass Pro and decided to pick it up!  I owned a small frame model back in the day, but sold it when I sold off my dad's megastar.

I have high hopes that I will be happy with one of the three full size 10mm pistols I now own.  In any case, the steel pistols should be able to take a steady diet of full power loads.  In addition, the extra weight should help tame the full power recoil.  As I mentioned above, I'm not so sure the same can be said about 10mm 1911s or other competition oriented steel 10mm pistols I'm seeing these days.

As for the polymer pistols, I have even less confidence in their durability with full power loads over time -- and that includes the XDM I already own.  And as for Glocks, I didn't like the idea of the unsupported chamber or the need for an aftermarket barrel for use with hard cast.  My thinking is that the current crop of "tactical" 10mm pistols are in no way capable of handling a stead diet of FULL power 10mm loads -- despite what the Glock fanboys may assert.
