Just because you can do it right does not take away its inherent danger. Finger off the trigger and the gun won't fire, simple right? Guess how often folks ND? Now add in thumb here, thumb there, finger here, finger there, let go this, hold that, PULL the trigger with a loaded chamber. You get...

I own both and prefer the BD. No matter how comfortable/familiar you are with lowering the hammer manually, it is still a very dangerous procedure and should not be attempted if can be avoided.

It was a Sig X5.

Here are the pictures. I got to shoot them today. Shot 20 rounds and did not have any malfunction. Feeding was smooth. I didn't try for accuracy but was able to do 1.5" at 12 yards, 2 hands, standing. I think I could probably shrink that down to <1" bench rested. 200gr SWC (Left), 230gr...

Well, I picked up some today. I took some photos but for some reason they cannot be opened. I'll do my best to describe it. The 230gr SWC no doubt looks like a swc. Compared it next to a 200gr SWC, it is a tiny bit shorter from the shoulder up but the nose is much fatter (almost the same...

Saw an ad of a fella who sells these. What do they look like? How reliable are they compared to the 200gr LSWC? Are these really made to shoot out of a 45acp semi-auto pistol?

I had the same problem. Most likely the bullet is undersized. Slug the bore.

Sig is still one of the leading companies. There QC is just as good as ever. I speak from personal experience and do not care for the internet whiners. For every thousand of satisfied customers, there is a whiner. What's even more funny is that you often only hear from the whiner. The point...

1) You never need to trim for pistol cases, especially 9mm. If they look bad, toss them. They are free all over the range. 2) Not sure about Hornady. I use Lee dies and each die set comes with its shell holder. 3) You will need a calipher, a beam scale, and a tumbler. A calipher is a must...

I use a $12 shipped digital scale http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15002. If .005-.015gr variation is not a concern to you, then this cheapo scale will serve you wonder. The scale seems to be affected by weather, temp, etc. that's why there is a slight variation, but small. What I...

I wish I had a mentor to steer me away from the Lee anniversary kit. I didn't know any better and made the purchase. It works, no doubt about it, but I ended up replacing half of the stuff it came with. The press is good and is still running strong. The Lee safety Prime works really well...

Ah I see, thanks. I thought I read some where on this forum that there was a 10% off. 5% is good enough. :D Thanks.

Does anyone have the 10% off coupon that Missouri Bullet was offering? Do they still have it? Thanks, ATK

Many misconceptions in this tread. 1) Sig mags and Glock mags cost NEARLY THE SAME. Mecgar P226 18rd $19-25. GLock mag, $20-25? Explain to me, where is the price difference? Better deals are out there, look harder. 2) If your sub compact Glock out shoots your X-Five, it is your damn failure...

You DO NOT need to field strip your pistol to clean. I had a ton of trouble taking/putting it together. So once I got it together, I vowed to never, ever, take it apart again. Now, all you need to do to clean is: 1) Pull the bolt back and engage the bolt catch. 2) Give the...
