Do the DOJ do test fire on firearms during DROS 10 waithing period

What good does a shell casing do for the LEO's? They need the bullet with the rifling patterns...shell casings are useless for identification unless you're stupid enough to load your gun without gloves on and leave a thumb print.
Of course if you're legit why would you care?

Are you making these statements with any background in forensics? Shell casings are not useless for identification. Believe it or not, the firing pin makes a unique mark when it strikes the casing. There is a nation wide database containing images from recovered casings.

.44 mag, gonna try lighter loads? Kind of takes all the fun out of owning a .44 huh?. I'm glad I'm not making the call on this one. Work up to the hand cannon my friend.

I recall a thread awhile back about a customer having his lock cut off his high end Springfield Armory 1911, (that he put on specifically to prevent any a holes from shooting his gun) and was shot by some staff members during the waiting period at Target Masters in Milpitas. Anybody remember this?

I seriously doubt that firing pins can leave sufficiently unique marks to be considered valid evidence.
