    SA 45 ACP XD trigger pull..what is yours

    I am getting tired of the pounds/ounces of trigger pull required to fire a round in my SA XD 45 ACP. I only have about 600 rounds fired through it. Way to heavy for my likes. What is a common spring upgrade to lighten the trigger pull?

    final decision

    Thank you for your LEO service!!! I have coffee with several city, county and federal LEO's on a weekly basis. We as citizens are very fortunate to have such dedicated people protecting us and enforcing our laws. To often they are not properly recognized for the job they do!! Living in...

    Are ammo prices going up at your local Walmart?

    I agree with the comment that all Walmarts prices are going up all over. The back of their semi trucks used to say "......low prices always". I had an employee who loads their trucks tell me that has been changed. but hey.....Lowes was asking 7 dollars plus for a can of WD40....

    45 ACP 230 g FMJ RN HSM loads..does this make sencese

    Thanks rc!!....But I still wonder if my thinking/rationale (volume aspect) is ok. Seems to me that if the bullets are the "same" and if the volume occupied by the powder is the same that the published data for the Hornaday would be safe to use. Do u see any error/caution in this thinking?

    I'm done with Cabelas

    Here it is 2010 and I have had the same issue as list a few years ago. I finally cancelled the order after several notifications of "new" shipping dates. 6 months after I cancelled the order I got a phone call to tell me the primers were available and did I want them

    45 ACP 230 g FMJ RN HSM loads..does this make sencese

    I have no loading data for 230 g HSM FMJ RN bullets. I am thinking if I keep the volume in the case the same as some published data by adjusting the COL that it should be a safe load. Here is my thinking. Hornady shows a COL of 1.23 for the 230 gr FMJ RN ENC bullet. The Hornady bullet...
