    EAA 45acp

    I have a 10mm in wonder finish. It is my daily carry. I had a few ftf's in the first 300 rounds. I upgraded the recoil spring to a 22lb (mainly to prevent battering of the frame with true full-tilt 10mm ammo), I buffed the feed ramp with my dremel with the felt tip and some buffing compound...

    What size for lead

    dardascastbullets is right with one teeny correction. Groove diameter. If you use the above method you will determine the diameter of the barrel at the groove bottoms, which is what you want. However, as has also been pointed out, your gun may not properly chamber bullets that are properly...

    down loading 10mm

    If you don't mind 45ACP +p, then you won't mind 10mm Auto. It is not a recoil monster, despite what you may have read. My Witness Elite Match is my wife's favorite gun to shoot. It reloads very well across a wide range of bullets styles, weights and velocities. Most 10mm guns actually arrive...

    NcStar scopes ??

    I have a 4X30 on my AR-15 that I got for $15.00 on sale. I agree with the above, for $40.00 there are better options. It has been a superb $15.00 scope for my AR. I purchased the scope because I could not decide what optics I wanted, and wanted to try several. I got the 4X30 fixed, a 4X30...

    .40 vs .45 is not really a big & slow debate?

    My ".40" pushes it's rounds significantly faster than you ascribe above. 180 grain at 1350 fps +. Of course, my .40 is a 10mm auto. If you are really interested in heavy fast bullets from an auto, you should check it out.

    Tanfoglio Witness Match

    My wife was reading this thread over my shoulder. She and I both shoot 10mm. She commandeered my Elite Match at the first range outing with it. Her comment? "What does he mean he doesn't need a 10mm? Everyone needs a 10mm! They must have small hands if they don't want a 10mm." I love my wife.

    10mm reloading opinions needed.

    Of the powders you list, I would look to Unique or 800X. Unique for mild loads, 800X for wild loads.

    What's the CZ attraction ?

    Form factor. I think they fit many hands very well. I personally am a fan of the Tanfoglio clones, sold in the US by EAA under the Witness moniker.

    concealed carry in public schools Poll

    My state allows it. I carry everytime I go to school. I have 6 children, 5 of whom are in school. I am there quite often. Will be there again tomorrow for a sharing activity in my son's first grade class.

    ZOMG new type of pistol!?

    Um.... Semi-automatic machine pistol is an oxymoron. A machine pistol by definition is a pistol capable of burst or full auto fire (Glock 18, for example). If it is limited to semi-automatic fire, then it cannot be a machine pistol.

    Accurate American designed handgun

    I really hope vltor Fortis/Bren Ten joins this list in about a month or so....And will be sorely disappointed if it's accuracy doesn't make muster.

    is the .41ae worth the hassel?

    The 41 AE is basically a ballistic twin of the 40 S&W. In the 'not mainstream' category, the 10mm has it beat several different ways.

    Opinions needed on EAA guns please

    As a follow-up on the references above to the VLTOR Bren Ten...They updated their blog today, seemingly confirming a SHOT show production launch.

    1911 Question

    The Novak Answer system dispenses with the grip safety, but leaves the thumb safety. I personally am a big fan of the thumb safety. Without a thumb safety, an accidental discharge is still quite possible. With one, I am hard pressed to think a circumstance that would not fall under the...

    10mm defense ammo?

    I carry the 165 gr Golden Saber from Double Tap when in two legged country. I carry a 175 gr SWC hardcast that I handload when I head into the mountains. Once some time frees up to experiment, I plan on deciding on a 200-210 grain mold and the 175 will be relegated to practice.

    Opinions needed on EAA guns please

    One of the guys over at 10mm talk called VLTOR and talked to Blaine about two weeks ago. He confirmed that the plan was to release the Fortis/BrenTen at the SHOT show this year. I had some FTF issues when my standard witness was new. I replaced the mag springs with +15% springs from Wolff in...

    Which auto caliber do you like and why?

    Pistols. I make my own ammo. Just have to buy brass, primers and powder. I cast my own bullets and roll my own rounds.

    Opinions needed on EAA guns please

    I have an Elite Match in 10mm and it is a fine weapon. I absolutely love it and have had 0 issues. Round count is now around 3,000. EAA does have some customers it has not treated well. Saturno-V is a member here who has nothing good to say about them. I also have a standard witness, and it...

    Which auto caliber do you like and why?

    10mm, for all the reasons previously mentioned. I see at present is stands at 10% in the poll. Wish gun dealers stocked 1 10mm for every 10 auto's in the other calibers.

    The 10 MM

    Far from dead at my house. 10mm is mine and my wifes favorite caliber. Recoil is similar to a 45 ACP IMHO.
