That's pretty lousy accuracy with 223. I could shoot Ballentine groups with an issued M16 when I was in the National Guard when we zeroed at 25 meters before qualifying.

I experimented with this.in the 70s. When they worked that worked well. However maybe 50% of the time part of the hollow base would shear off and they would tumble limiting penetration. I still carry factory loaded HBWCS in a j frame. Why? 1. The bullet is already in an efficient shape. A...

Bargain price for the 67.

Okay but you'd have to give the success of the plethora of 1911s out there to John Browning.

1. I won't carry a single action. Yes. there are those that can shoot them as fast as a DA. I'm not one of them. Statically, your fight should be over in 5 or 6 rounds. But if you need a reload you're screwed. 2. A 41 or 44 magnum. I'm often in very congested areas. The over penetration...

Get the 3". As far accuracy it becomes magic in a 3:.

Yes!!! A clean gun has gotten a lot of people put of trobule.

Okay if you're okay with that "reliability,"

Depends on what you're using it for. I was a LE firearms instructor and I've seen guns so dirty they couldn't get through a magazine without malfunction. Moreso in the cold.

Not amazing. First, take a look at inflation. Second, take a look at population Lots of more people wanting these guns. Supply and demand. Finite numbers of these firearms out there.

I've no experience with the Ruger. I have a 21A that I sometimes carry in a low threat environment. I carry it hammer down safety off. Reliability? I use CCI Mini Mag solids. You are going to need penetration with a small caliber gun. I take it to the range once a year and fire Mini Mags...

I never cast bullets. However I've found the 200gr H&G bullet which became my standard 45 ACP bullet. Over 6.0 grs of Unique (well under max) it gives me 900 fps. A good all around 45 load.
