I took some Hornady Critical Defense (9mm) rounds to the range the other day to put through my fairly new (but quite enjoyable) XDm 3.8. When loading the magazine, I noticed that it was effectively treating the mag as a single-stack...! I only got 9-10 rounds in before compressing the spring...

STI also offers the Spartan in 9mm. http://stiguns.com/guns/Spartan/Spartan.php

I'm relatively new to shooting, but have to say I really like Red's. Got a yearly membership (if you go once/week, you save money after about 6 months). It's close to Round Rock (15 mins from my house), you don't have to wait to move your target in/out (a la Eagle Peak), and there's rarely a...

Nothing fancy here, just a couple of good looking 1911 types.. :)

(Warning: I'm new to the shooting sports, so my opinion is probably worth considerably less than 0.02 Zimbabwean...) I have an STI Ranger II in 9mm, and a Kimber Tactical Entry II in .45 ACP. The Ranger is indeed a sweet-shooting gun, and the action is quite nice. Unfortunately, it's been...

Just noticed this thread over at m1911.org: http://forum.m1911.org/showthread.php?t=69790

Rock Island is weird, in terms of a web site. They don't seem to have a dedicated site, but aren't they made by Armscor in the Phillipines? http://www.armscor.com.ph/pistols.htm I didn't see any 9mm 1911s on the above site. You might also ask over at at M1911.org.

Re: "He also said the gov. was working on a plan for every reloader to have a federal license (which I don't doubt)." -- I think he means this treaty.

I agree with the OP's sentiment wholeheartedly. I'm new to shooting, but was quite taken with 1911s in general, and this one in particular...

Another n00b here. Since this thread is in the Autoloaders section, am I correct in noting that most autoloaders do not feed/shoot .357 Magnum rounds, but rather the shorter .357 Sig?

Thank you, Oro...!

Hi, thanks for providing this service. Here's my new-to-new-to-shooting-me info: a) .357 Magnum b) 4" barrel c) grips shape (round or square) - honestly not sure, I want to say square, but it's a rubber Hogue Monogrip. d) 6 shots e) Adjustable rear sight, orange blade front f) serial...

Hi, everyone, A n00b gun owner here, be gentle. ;) Got a 686-6 4". Probably paid too much, and didn't research the whole integral lock thing, but I sure enjoyed the first range experience with it, so live & learn. Have an STI Ranger II in 9mm on order. Will have many questions, I'm...
