With my 2nd grade education the math on 9mm reloading vs. ~$.20/round at Walmart just doesn't seem to add up for any cost savings, just another messy hobby that I won't have time to do or enjoy! I've been saving brass in case the math changes, but for now I'd never even recoup the cost of the...
I'm betting that they could get people on theft of "Intellectual Property" instead of piracy. I've always hated the term 'Piracy' for theft of software / media. 'Piracy' should be reserved for pirates! (as in theft on the high-seas). To call a kid in the basement of his parents home illegally...
Federal 9mm and 45acp
Seems like my local Walmarts are ALWAYS out of this stuff. Doesn't their inventory system take sales volumes into account? Seems like they would start shipping larger quantities and/or increased frequency to those stores that are constantly out of stock on this stuff...
2A should be universally applicable anywhere in the confines of the US of A, with the only exception being that of the personal property owner restriction. As has been discussed at length so called 'safe zones' are better described as 'unsafe zones'. It seems to me that the only effects...
I got mine in Westfield several years ago and from what I recall all that I had to do was go to the public services office and fill out a form, pay some money, get some fingerprints taken (old school ink on card) and then a few weeks (maybe a month or so) later my LTCH came in the mail...
Something I didn't take into account is that the new kimber's are 8 round mags and all of my others are 7 round. I'm wondering if the greater spring tension of the kimber 8 round mags is causing the mag release to fail to hold. I will pull the mag release and caliper it to see if it's out of...
Thanks for the replies. All of my old mags are still held snugly in place, and release properly when the mag release is pressed. These Kimbers just feel like they are too small or something, as they rattle quite a bit more than any of the other mags I've used in this gun. I'm going to caliper...
I bought several Kimber .45 1911 magazines from GanderMtn a couple of weeks ago to replace some old no-name mags that I had that were causing me issues with feeding. My 1911's got an AO receiver, but I didn't believe that would be a problem. (Shouldn't they be compatible?) The new magazines...
Ambidextrous is the way to go. I know in the military years ago we had to handle and fire pistols right handed. Felt weird for me, but I understood the reasoning. That way there is no chance of a serviceman grabbing a 'wrong-handed' weapon in the heat of battle. Everyone was trained to use...
[Begin Gripe]
From what I can tell the Ruger MKIII Competition's hand grips are specifically carved for right handed shooters, and Ruger doesn't appear to offer it in a LH configuration. About 10% of the US is left-handed! I'm constantly aggravated by being overlooked on things where handedness...
distances?
What distance are the plates/pins for this? Also, what distance do the FNS targets sit at? Knowing that will help me estimate my chances of actually hitting something other than the berm! <grin>
Thanks!
I've read all over the place that it doesn't matter that it's loose, but I'd like to fix it before I lose the darn thing. I don't have calipers so don't know if my pin is too small or the holes are too large or what. I'm assuming I can just get a slightly larger diameter barrel link pin...
My Frankenstein 1911 (AO receiver + Ithica slide) sometime has problems with bullet rubbing against the slide stop lug. This generally doesn't prematurely lock the slide back but it has occasionally caused feeding issues by knocking the bullet nose downward too much to allow the round to...
Took my daughter to Marion County Fish & Game to shoot for her first time ever today. Despite that fact that the scope was loose at first and then was totally not sighted in, and that the gun is like 2x too large for her little arms she did GREAT! She got dead center on the bulls like 15...
I'd like in on that offer too! If you get 2 million can I get a press from you too? I need to be able to do .45 and 9mm, possibly .22lr if that's also cost effective.
<grin>
