I've done AA9, PowerPistol, BE86 and I even loaded a bunch of PowerPro 300-MP (just because). I can't really say any of them are much better than any others based on accuracy testing. No special instructions for 10mm, although I personally would watch what you shoot those maxed-out loads in...
Well, I like ONE 44...the 44 Rem Mag. But I don't like bottle-necks in pistols. Not for any reason, really. It's just not right. Yeah, the .429 DE seems to me to be a way to spend a lot of money not solving a problem I have. When I can get 45 Win Mag brass at Starline for not a whole lot of...
I'm certainly willing to step up to the plate in an effort to get better data--to that end, I can start a "What's the Best 1911?" thread. :)
The only thing I can think of in this topic area that might be even less productive would be to ask the manufacturer (or better yet, the seller), "Now, is...
I wasn't saying the guns are not reliable or that I don't trust them. What I meant was that I would not trust any of them to be reliable with any untried ammo I threw at them.
I love this "1911"...and love the round, too. I wish Magnum Research would build a DE in this caliber, but I think they just chuckled when I asked them if they'd consider it.
The gun has its issues, but cycling reliably is not one of them. Bangs the crap out of the brass (no biggie, resizing...
I haven't fired very many 1911s and only own two. But, I think to refer to a "1911" as though they are all so similar in behavior is not a valid or justified generalization--no matter what the alleged attribute. Like saying "1911's are super-accurate". I'm not aware of any other auto pistol...
I've never seen a grizzly in real life, I don't think--just black bear fairly regularly. But, I've seen photos of brown bear posed next to the hunters who have taken them, and my thoughts when folks talk about 'woods carry guns in grizzly country' go like this: god help you if the only weapon...
At training I took back in New Hampshire, they had new shooters firing at targets at 5 yards, of course, but they also had us use the same techniques at about 50 yard silhouette targets--really to demonstrate to the student that the same focus achieves the same objectives. I don't think there's...
I only own an RIA (it happens to be the Ultra HC in 10) but so far I've been quite happy with it. What I like is a) seems pretty 'standard', b) plain military-style finish--no frills, and c) fit and machining is IMO very good. I would think any 1911 produced after about 1920 should be able to...
...when I'm at the range with the 10 I get some reverence from other shooters--mostly impressed, I think, that I can afford to shoot 10mm at all (not knowing I'm shooting 8 cent a round handloads). But when I shoot the 44 Alaskan, I usually get at least 2 folks wanting to know "what the h&## is...
Comparisons of 10mm Auto with anything aside, *in my opinion* from observations I've made online for over 8 years or so, 10mm Auto is just about the only handgun cartridge I can think that has an 'aura'. Not sure what it is, but part of it is the very common use of the phrase "real 10mm" or...
That's interesting...when I first smelled it a decade ago, fish is what came to mind--not sure why--and why I made the sardine reference. I agree, it doesn't actually smell like fish, really. In any case, my experiences that I associate with that distinctive bouquet are so overwhelmingly...
It's been a while, I know, but have you fired this much and if so, what do you think. I don't actually 'need' another 40, but this would be the one I'd buy and I've had a hankerin'. I'm a huge fan of the older M&P 45c, and have to think the 2.0 in 40 would be very nice shooter indeed.
