If you can swing the price of the GI Springfield, save a few more bucks and get a Colt NRM 1991A1, yule never be sorry for getting the Colt.

Glock, the Original, the best.

Folks, this is one nice shootin' reliable and accurate firearm. No two ways about it. I shot 150 230gr FMJ from CCI, UMC and Win along with 50 UMC JHP 230gr with not one (or any) malfunction of any sort whatsoever. The polymer frame really soaks up the recoil of the heavy rounds as well...

Would I buy a Glock?? Just traded my wonderful Springfield G. I. milspec for a new Glock 30 Monday morning. Heading out to the range with it right now. I'll post my thoughts about it's performance later on! This is my second Glock, the first being a G19 purchased a few years ago and sold...

Thanks guys, that's the kind of info I was hoping for. Yeah, I usually just follow along with a load listed in my One Caliber One Book for .45, average out a median powder load for the same bullet with 3 or 4 different recipes and if that load cycles the slide I'm good. Usually I get better...

All this talk of KBs and whatnot with Glocks raises a question for me as a longtime reloader. Since I've ALWAYS crafted quality handgun reloads in 4 different calibers and have (knocking on wood!) never had any mishaps or damage to me or any of my firearms with malfunctioning/exploding ammo...

Thanx for all the help on this one guys. In the end I solved all the problems this gun has been giving me by trading it off for a new Glock 30. Always did want a compact 11 shot 45, tomorrow I'll have it. This policeman whom I was sharing a range booth with Friday let me shoot his Glock 21...

My bullets are all commercial hardcast and seated well past the bullet lube groove. So there's no lube on the outside of my reloads. Also, after the pass through the Lee Factory Crimp die I'll check the cartridges every so often in a Dillon .45ACP guage checker which if they fit flush, and...

My SA G.I. wont feed the Remington 230 GR JHPs reliably, a few get through but then I start getting regular failures to go into battery. Still fires the factory 230gr jacketed ball ammo from every manufacturer I've tried (WOlf, Rem, CCI, and Winchester) 100% but I still have some problems with...

Hate it when they stovepipe!

I went ahead and ordered the model 3BR with the pistol chamber only and the Redding bench mount stand for about 12 buck more than I could have gotten the model 3 with both chambers, the powder baffle and no stand. I will get the large universal chamber later on as funds allow. Now I just have...

Hi everyone, I've pretty much decided to get a Redding powder measure to compliment my old Ideal no. 55 and I'm most interested in either the Model 3BR with pistol and universal metering chambers or the Model 3 also with both chambers. Can anyone give me any preferences between the two and why...

YYYyyyyeeooOOOuUUChhhHH!! Yep, my father in law, a Korean war veteran used to tell how a hit anywhere, even in the hand with the .45 would knock a person down. Anyone care to disagree??

Skip the Ruger and Beretta, unless you really like the Ruger. The bargain of the year is IMO is the SiG Pro 2009 for right around $450 brand new. Nice gun. I mean, as long as you're not looking for ultra compact 9s get a Sig. The Sig Pro or either of your choices are great choices so...

Thanks for the great informative post there Tuner, as usual you never fail to suprise with your knowledge and insight. Now I'm not nearly as worried about the MIM parts in my SA. Didn't know about the MIM parts inside the Colts were basically the same as the SA other than the slide stop. I...
