Polymer frames WARNING!!!!

I know that when a bullet is chambered into a gun too many times the projectile will seed deeper in the casing which can cause your gun to go alittle..... well broken. It happens to moron duty cops and armoured car employees that never cycle their rounds through their mags. I used to tell all my guys that they needs to cycle the bullet they used to chamber every week or two. I've seen it happen at the range when some moron used his duty bullets to qualify with and the bullet he fired was messed... Let's just say that the frame was never the same.

oh yeah... it was a stainless steal frame :p

Name me a gun shop anywhere that the sales people don't think they know everything about everything and that customers don't know anything. I am sure there are some but they are hard to find.

So how many times do you chamber the same round? 3000 times? Most pistol rounds headspace on the case mouth so it shouldn't matter...

What kind of stainless steel firearm was this?

Indeed. I love talking to these guys. When the Savage 10FP PC came out I was asking about it at SIR/cabelas. I was told by the gun desk guy that the Savage LE line was illegal in Canada. I said really? because I've had a 20" LE1A since 2005... bought from this store. "Well, um, those, blah blah."

I love ####ing with them, but it is horrible to those who don't know better.

Constant chambering pushes the bullet back shortening the OAL, more of an issue on .40cal than 9mm. A big issue on rounds like 357Sig
 
I worked in a few stores and was always amazed at what some of the other guys would come up with. I'm not sure it was to make a sale or just plain ignorance. The owner of one store convinced a guy to buy a Sig 220 (with heel clip mag catch) over a tangfoglio for IPSC because the Sig was chambered for .38 super and could be loaded to major. I had to pull the guy aside later and explain why that wasn't a good idea. Needless to say I had a parting of the ways with that place not long after.
 
I experience a situation like this in a small town outdoor store the other day. The guy had a Beretta 92fs that i want to handle but not much buy because he sell it for like 1200$ before taxes! He then tell me that it's one of the rare exemple still available in Canada because the US army buy all the others. I just handle him back the pistol and say goodbye. Argueing with gun store clerk is like argueing with internet commando. (refer to my sig line below)
