    Springfield Armory announcement on 10/10. 10mm FB post

    My understanding is the mags are all interchangeable, 10mm and 45ACP have an OAL within a half of a mm of one another, so I'm assuming they would also interchange. I would suspect that the feed lips on a 45 mag could be placed in a vice for a while, or that 40 mags will actually hold 10mm, if...

    Springfield Armory announcement on 10/10. 10mm FB post

    I've read that all the slides are fully interchangeable between XDm models, would it be possible to put a 4.5 10mm slide on a compact XDm frame? This seems like it would make a very nice backcountry CC.

    Customizing pachmayr

    Hello, I have a pachmayr diamond pro for an SP101. I like them, minus they aren't as pretty as the rubber & wood of the stock stocks. Has anyone ablated some of the rubber on pachmayrs and carved some wood to fit in the hole? Would be interested in if you have any tips for doing so from...

    Sit on rifle case

    Hello- I had the idea last night of taking a rifle case and putting a couple inches of closed cell foam on it to function as a seat in the cargo area for the times I occasionally have more than 5 people in my vehicle. Is there a brand anyone would recommend that might stand up to 3 people...

    I now support Background Checks....

    The 25,000 signatures was upped to 100,000 after some petition to build a death star, from the movie star wars, got enough signatures. Which I think speaks volumes about the country and peoples priorities.

    Mythbusters and Guns

    One of the very first things they did was a 22 as a replacement headlight fuse, and if it would go off eventually, which it did.

    Mythbusters and Guns

    Shooting a playground merry-go-round to see if they could get it to spin, from that one movie. May have been part of that one where they were shooting guns away from people. Starting a fire in an emergency/survival situation with black/smokeless powder. Starting a car on fire by shooting...

    1911 spring longevity

    I replaced one at around 5,000 rounds, because it started to bounce brass off my head.

    If you could only have 5 different calibers what would they be?

    22 mag or 22 hornet 7mm-08 375 H&H, or maybe 416 of some sort. 44 mag 12 gauge, though I prefer 20 for everything but waterfowl. Reasoning, 22lr is nice, but a hornet can be very flexible, 22 mag easier to shoot in bulk (than the hornet) and more uses than 22lr. Anything from mice to...

    .357 automag

    http://www.reloadbench.com/cartridges/w357automag.html Use the above info at your own risk, I had nothing to do with it. 357 Sig is a necked down 40 S&W case. Case width and rim are different from the 308.

    Suicide gun...would you want one?

    Close family member had melanoma metastize into his brain and lungs. Got to the point he was having trouble just standing. Have what they used sitting the back of the safe, cleaned it up after the cops released it, haven't decided what, if anything, to do with it. I don't think I want it in...

    lightweight slide?

    There is a difference between recoil and muzzle flip. Muzzle flip is the muzzle flipping up. Recoil is the gun coming backwards. An example of the difference is the chiappa rhino, which has the barrel underneath vs a regular revolver that weighs exactly the same. With the low bore axis...

    lightweight slide?

    Less flip could come from a lighter slide. Less mass hitting the end of the line and flipping the gun up when the action cycles, as well as less mass being driven back into battery.

    Best combat revolver?

    I suggested a modernized top break in 45 ACP using full moon clips a few pages back because of the reload issue. Low pressure rounds because of the action strength, but that also means they don't stick in the chamber, and it might be possible to give it a shotgun/double rifle ejection system to...

    Alaska... it is going to happen.

    I have been up there 3 times for a few weeks in early Sept. between 1994 and 2000 (drove up another time in the mid 80's). Flying with firearms wasn't too big of a hassle, but I don't know what has changed. Was pack ammo in a separate check bag, and gun case should lock. Sometimes the gate...

    9x23

    I had a general interest in shooting .357 out of it: if it could be done, accuracy, things to watch out for, velocities, advantages over a 357 mag, disadvantages, etc. If I wind up with one I'd probably be using a mixture of cast and jacketed. What kind of velocities have you gotten...
