I have done the same thing. My old eyes see the FO so much better. I keep the ramp sights if I ever sell or pass on my revolvers.

I had a 3" 1911 in . 45 and years later I bought one in 9mm. I liked it. Recently I bought a Tisas Stingray 4" 9mm 1911. It is great to shoot and carry.

I think you should carry the biggest gun you can conceal comfortably. A lot of it has to do with body size, shape and clothes. I have a friend 6'2" probably 185 that carries a G21 IWB under a T shirt and you never see it. I am shorter and heavier, and I can carry a full size 1911 owb with a...

It is now season in Georgia and I am a Traditional Bowhunters currently using a Toelke Whip longbow. I hunt on a friend's farm an hour away. For my early morning/after dark rides I am always armed. Lately I have been carrying a slim Glock 48 9mm with Dagger 15 round magazines. Walking in or...

I won a Max 9 at a match and of course I had to shoot it! I fired 100 rounds of JHP,FMJ and coated lead FP reloads. It shot very well and I think it was surprisingly soft shooting. IT fired about 50 rounds with no problems and then started to get a little balky. I relubed it and it was perfect...

My wife has weak, arthritic hands but she still wants to be able to defend herself when I am not home. With her Ruger LCP .22 with a laser attached she could shoot a bad guys eyes out at normal house distance. It is better than a rock or sharp stick!

I bought mine right when they first came out. I never have had any problems. It is my EDC and I have fired a good many rounds through it. I eventually changed to the XL frame for a better feeling grip and more ammo and a straight trigger as that is my preference.

I have a black and a FDE one I have been shooting in practice and competition and they have been good to go from day one. I am not sure if I ever had a malfunction unless it was an upside down primer. 95% of my ammo shot has been coated lead,FMJ and JHP all my reloads and usually 124grn.

I bought one not too long after it came out. I did some mods to it on the trigger and mag release and an adapter to fold the brace. It was reliable, I shot it in a good many of our twice a month indoor carbine matches but I never warmed to it once the novelty wore off.

It was a little bit cooler yesterday evening so I sat and watched the feeder hoping the pigs would come in but they did not this time. I had my .300 BO AR15 pistol with a light and red dot. Sitting in a comfortable chair and watching nature was still a nice evening. I will get the pigs sooner...

New Kahr Auto Ordnance! Firing pin is free floating and hammer spring feels fine and fired factory ammo fine! Thanks!

Reflecting back on my first response, I chose H110 as it was a very recommended powder for the carbine. I was using 15.5grns with a 90gr bullet which is in the manuals. I use the Lee Hand primer and seat the primers with a good firm push. I am not as concerned with the feeding as in the just not...

I will take your advise and try another powder and primer!. The 110 fills the case up pretty full though!

H110

I have been reloading on a regular basis since I started on my kitchen table in an apartment around 1976 and usually have no problems. But I do now! I bought a new M1 Carbine. I bought 400 rounds of PPU JSP. Fitst 30 rounds I had a few failure to go into battery etc but to be expected with a new...
