Magazines None of my 1911's like Pachmeyer's.(sp) They will not drop out at slidelock without pulling back on the slide. joeyt

.40 Lite The only way to get a soft shooting (relatively speaking) .40 caliber round is to reload them. This caliber is sometimes too much for a new shooter or someone who can't get used to a bit of recoil.Get her something in 9mm and she would be better off. IMHO joeyt

Intervention Sorry, I can't be a party to that. I know from experience that it an empty promise.seniorlefty

.22 top end The .22 kit for my BHP seems like a great idea to me. Any one tried the Ciener conversion kit for this gun? Any problems with the staggered magazine? It is a 15 round mag so I imagine it has to be staggered. I was about to order the one for my Kimber when I spotted this one on the...

The amazing thing about his work is he does not use any other light source exept natural light.Joeyt

re: Custom Shop I have a S/A 1911 in .38 Super that came out of the Custom Shop.This gun has a set of iron sights made by Aristocrat for PPC matches.It allows for the same sight picture hold at 25,50 and100 yards by means of a preset dial on the side of the rear sight.I want to install a fiber...

Springfield in 9mm This would be a great gun for IDPA or plate shooting. Make sure to pick up a few mags for it , and to answer the question about capacity, they hold nine rounds. I have a S/A Custom Shop in .38 Super, that is one of my favorite single stack 1911's. I wold reccomend getting a...

Taurus I have the Model 608 Taurus revolver in .357. I use this 8 round wheelgun for pin shooting. It has a very good trigger and is real slick in double action. I have never had a problem with it. It will shoot the 200 grain logs, using .38 special cases and Blue Dot powder, and does a...

What Problem? I don't have that problem. I can quit any time I want to. ;) JoeyT

Who I am I am a 67 year old retired guy who owns too many toys already, but that doesn't stop me when something catches my fancy. I spent 36 years on outside repairs in the vending trade. I was the guy they sent when your Juke Box or your pin ball machine didn't work.It was very interesting...

Mild .357 loads With the combo you describe, try 3.2gr of Hodgdons Clays. 860fps out of my 4 inch wheelgun and very pleasant to shoot. JoeyT

Hodgdon Manual If you are referring to the magazine type manual, I have one and it is very handy. It is only for Hodgdon powders, but it has a wealth of loads for all calibers in hand guns, rifle and shotguns. Not a lot of technical info but definitely worth the price. Besides, you cannot have...

My information is that if the S/N starts with NM, it does not mean it is a National Match, it means the pistol was put together at the SA factory in Genesco NY. JoeyT

Gunny- Money talks, etc etc. Glock is capitalizing on R Lee's popularity. I'm still a 1911 man. JoeyT

Percieved Recoil These are all valid reasons but I think Frohockey has it covered best. Snap vs. Push. JoeyT

Nickled Colt While serving in the U.S. Navy 57-61, I was issued a Nickled Colt. I don't know how old it was then. I believe they were issued to pilots due to the problem with rusting, but that is just a guess on my part. Joeyt

Kimber- What problems? The 3 Kimbers I have owned have worked flawlessley. I am down to only one at the present time( 45 Custom Target ) for no particular reason. I had a minor problem with the ambi safety on it and sent it back to them for fitting. They had it back to me in less than a week...

Easy way to slug barrel The last time I slugged a barrel I tapped a lead bullet down the barrel with a wooden dowel. Seemed to work pretty well.Joeyt
