MHA arrived in the mail today. I read it all. Absolutely wonderful. The ending has me slavering for the next one. The character development of Earl was superb. I especially enjoy reading someone that actually knows firearms. I loved reading that Earl had to have his GI issue Thompson...

Let me echo the congrats. I love my 25-2. It is my favorite handgun.

Check up on this story. The reporter seems to have been significantly biased in his account. The senator has given her side, taken full responsibility for her actions, and has signed up for a firearms safety course for a refresher. Be careful jumping too quick without hearing both sides. I'd...

I love the MHI books. A fellow shooter told me about them. I tore through the first two. I have this one on pre-order. I love being able to enjoy a good book without cringing from the author's obvious lack of knowledge concerning firearms. Thanks for your work.

I was just shooting mine a few hours ago. I love my 25-2. I shoot about abut 50/50 with and without moonclips. I do enjoy having a revolver chambered the same as my 1911. Still, my 25-2 is my favorite handgun. She is a real joy.

I handled a lot of pocket pistols before deciding on the one I bought. My hands are pretty big. I wasn't real keen on having any fingers not on the grip. I found one though that just felt good when I picked it up. I wasn't able to find one to try out on a range, so I took a leap and bought...

Let me echo... My RN 230 grains are 1.260 to 1.265 too.

I am 304 miles from Anchorage and have attended events there. Otherwise, the closest is Fairbanks at about 50 miles.

Worked for me. I have availed myself of one manual I have been needing. Great share!

I don't have to deal with Los Anchorage very often but like some others, if I feel that I have a great chance to be around bears - nothing beats a quality rifle in a suitable caliber. Otherwise, I carry a 45 acp revolver. I pack custom loads a friend makes for me that he has had success with...

No I don't. I carry either a S&W 25-2 or a PT-1911 so the difference is 6 and 8+1 I practice changing magazines (I carry one extra) and moonclips (2 extra) but otherwise, I don't feel under gunned. I have nothing against fellow enthusiasts who prefer more. I just am more comfortable with...

Thanks fellas. The dent does appear to be a machined mark from the breech face and it is very mild and does not look like a paper fold. But I will follow the advice to work them up slowly and safely.

Its from shooting a 1911 - 45 acp & like I said it is Remington UMC It is only on that brand. I have two other brands I regularly shoot that do not get those marks. Should I refrain from reloading these?

I vote Alaska - but then I'm biased As to cool - we've been warmer and with less snow than some of you folks. Besides - when its cold you can wear as many layers as you want. Where its hot - you take off too many layers and they call the law :) If I had to pick to move from AK, as it stands...

Another +1 on the non-TSA locks. However, I think it very prudent to check and fully read the info on the TSA site each and every time before taking a trip. Like most government agencies, I think they change regs almost on a whim. I wouldn't want to be in hot water because they changed a rule.

I have a similar question, but also lack photo ability. In this instance, the case has a dent in a straight line on the bottom of the case. It is not deep. It is only on 200 cases of Remington UMC. The line goes completely from one side to the other. Is that anything to worry about?

+1 to Geckgo's response I ccw a .45 1911 for the same reason. I have friends that go with the 9mm and that's great for them. I don't carry mine because I believe God carries a 1911 or any of the so called fanboy reasons. I carry it because I enjoy shooting it, so I tend to practice more. I...

PT1911 - but that is based on owning one and regularly handling it and a Judge.

I am looking for manuals. But I will be checking the powder sites too.

Hey - I like this. I am just starting to reload (waiting for my press to come in the mail.) I think this might be a good project as well. Here's a thought - what about using a sharpie marker to identify the snapcaps? Would it cause any trouble if some of it rubs off? The snap caps I do own...
