Thanks to everyone! Thanks to everyone for the replies! So much I didn't know! Had to go back to the dealer and check things. Decided to take it!

Thinking of buying a Baby Eagle in 45 ACP. I've never owed any Eagle and know of no one who has! The pistol is NIB and would cost around $650 out the door. I would like to get more info from someone who has owned one and if you think the price is reasonable. Thanks for ANY help!

Let me in also! Love those Sigs!! Have 2-220 Super Match, a 220 Match, a German 226, a 226 X-5 and a 1911 built with a Sig upper on a Caspian frame. The one I shoot the most - The Germany made 226 in 9mm!!

In my 1911 style pistols [S'field and Colt] I've been getting my best accuracy with Fiochhi 147 gr., even better than with the factory "match" ammo I have. In the Browning HP's and Glock 17L, 124 gr Remington Match [do they still make it?] and 124 gr Match from Atlanta Arms and Ammo give the...

Another vote for 4.2 grs. of Trail Boss under the MBC 158 gr. SWC, Brin. 12. Shoots great in my Colts and S&Ws, without leading. The more I use Trail Boss loads, the more I like it!:

I remember buying a set of bases from Midway that converted the Ruger to accept Weaver rings. They had the Ruger lug and screwed on like the regular Ruger rings but the top was slotted for Weaver Mounts. Used Weaver double extention rings to get the scope positioned right. Don't remember what...

I have dealt with them on several items. Prices may be a little high but they are the place to go around here for the rarer and higher end stuff. Their descriptions have always been very accurate and fair! They may cut the price a small amount, but don't expect much! Know some of the salesmen...

I've been running one of their case cleaners for about a year now. Might be a little noisier than the Midway one it replaced, but works just fine. It gets lots of use!

I wear tri-focals normally. Mostly pistol shoot, so last year asked my doctor to make me a pair of glasses just for shooting them. They are bi-focal with the bottom part set for the sights at my normal shooting stance and the top for distance [the target]. He also had the sights portion ground...

Thank for the advise rcmodel & dfariswheel! Broken screw was actually the replacement screw that held a AimTech scope mount on. It was fairly tight, but once it moved a little, it came out easy. I was afraid they had put Locktite on it and that was why it broke!

I've got a S&W 28-2 with the lower side plate screw broken. Taking the side plate off, the screw has a stub sticking up, but not much. What is the best way to try to extract it. Any "tricks"? Thought about using pencil torch to apply some heat to frame, in case Lock Tite is present.??? Or would...

I have to admit, I do like the S&W 25s! Have 3 25-5s and a 25-13 that are all very accurate. The most accurate? A S&W 28-3 someone converted to 45 Colt back before S&W started making "enough" 25-5s to go around. [Pre-computer/internet age!] As BlindJustice says, don't try hot rodding them!!; get...

No telling how many hundreds of pounds of WW's I've poured thru a Lyman 452460 200gr mold. Shoot it in both revolvers and semi's. Favorite load is 4.5grs of Bullseye under it, but have had good luck with W231 and AA#5 also.

"Nonstandard calibers" seem to follow me home! Right now shooting 30 Luger, 9mm Largo, 6mm "Sako" BR, 6-250, 6.5-06, and 338-06. Even with most of my standard rifles, the barrel twist are not "standard". There's just something about shooting/hunting with a gun that's different and you have to...

Loaded 100+ rds of 45 LC with Large RIFLE primers - then got PO'd at the pistol when they didn't go pop the first time!! Also have missed priming a case and wondered where all the spilled powder is coming from; many times over the years. Now have a note taped to reloading area saying " LOOK AND...
