    EAA Witness - CZ 75 spin off

    Tanfoglio's base guns are good shooters but their Elite series pistols are on a whole other level. I have two Matches in 9mm and 45, a Limited Pro in 45, and a Stock in 9mm. I also have a P Carry in 45.

    New .44 AutoMag production

    $3000 for a gun that they don't make ammo for? I'll pass.

    Ruger 10mm revolver

    In that bore size in a revolver 41 Magnum makes more sense. The SRH is available in 41 Magnum from Davidson's. If I wanted a 10mm in that price range I'd go with a Tanfoglio Elite-series pistol.

    Liar! Liar, Yer' chronys on fire!

    55gr Hornady FMJ-BT, 23.5gr N133, 3304 fps. 24.0gr N133, 3343 fps. 24.5gr N133, 3422 fps. Out of a 26" T/C Encore. Barrel length matters.

    Power Pistol?

    Power Pistol was originally developed and used in factory 9mm loads. Only later did Alliant start selling it as a canister propellant. You'd be hard pressed to find a powder better suited for 9mm. It will work fine in 45 Auto but I think the lower pressure cartridge does better with a faster...

    Are 9mm worth reloading

    If 9mm is the only cartridge you are going to load I would say no. The expense of getting all of the reloading equipment will take years to recoup if you are only shooting 9mm. If you already have a reloading setup for other cartridges and all you need is dies and a shell holder then yes. If you...

    Tanfoglio Fan

    Matches in 45 and 9. 45 Limited Pro and 9mm Stock 1. P Carry in 45. Yeah, I like Tanfos.

    X-Treme 124gr. 9mm

    I use the Xtreme 124gr RN in 9mm. I determined OAL by incrementally seating the bullet and measuring the bullet diameter at the case mouth. When the diameter dropped to .354 I knew the entire shank of the bullet was inside of the case with only the ogive outside of the case, just like with...

    Loading 9mm for Accuracy/Precision

    With handgun ammo seating depth isn't going to affect accuracy much. The bullet style and your pistol's chamber dimensions will dictate OAL. Seating the bullets straight will have a bigger effect. Your Redding competition seating die will go a long way toward seating them straight. A Lyman M die...

    Help me pick a .22 pistol

    I have a 5.5" Mark III 22/45 and a 3.5" SR22. Both are accurate, reliable with everything I've tried in them, and fun to shoot. I haven't shot the Bersa but have heard the can be finicky with some ammo. The Mark III is discontinued and for now your options in the Mark IV are limited, and more...

    Ruger Redhawk 41 Magnum Snub

    For me I'd rather have the 4.2" Redhawk in 41 Mag over the shorter barrel. If you really want to get the most out of the round the 7.5" Super Redhawk (also a Davidson's exclusive) would be the way to go. If you want a snub nose 41 Mag get it. You'll never go wrong with a Redhawk.

    EAA Witness P 45acp

    I have a Witness P Carry in 45. It uses the same magazines as the full size steel guns. Mec Gar mags with black follower do not fall free from the polymer frame, but the Tanfoglio mags with red follower do. The Mec Gar mags are slightly thicker than the Tanfoglio mags. They can be inserted and...

    The advantage of California weather and the joys of big revolvers

    California weather is nice and I'm glad your 44 was still in great shape but California's gun laws are horrible. I'll take bundling up to go shoot for three months of the year and oiling my unused pistols occasionally under Utah's gun laws over year round good weather under the regime you guys...

    Broke my Glock 23C...

    Take it back to the FFL you bought the pistol from. Most won't charge you to ship it back though them. If they do find a different FFL to do business with.

    New Universal powder?

    That's a good thing. I never want to be out of Universal. The 4227 out of Canada shoots as well as the stuff out of Australia. I'm sure the Universal will be the same.

    New Universal powder?

    I wouldn't doubt it. There are a lot of scalpers in SLC that buy up all the components and ammo and then resell them on KSL for double and triple the price. I'll go without before I buy from scalpers. They still don't have 22LR on the shelves at Sportsman's or Walmart regularly even though Get...

    45 Colt "Ruger" Trailboss loads

    That is a rough rule of thumb and does not apply to every powder. Trailboss is one of those powders. Trailboss is very high volume for weight and is a wholly unique powder type. It is designed to fill high volume cases that were originally designed for black powder. It is not at all similar in...

    loading a rifle subsonic with pistol powder?

    A large rifle primer is taller than a large pistol primer. If the rifle case you are downloading uses a large rifle primer then you cannot substitute a large pistol primer. Small rifle and small pistol primers are the same size in every dimension and could be substituted. Published data for...

    45 Colt "Ruger" Trailboss loads

    If you want to load hotter than that get another powder. Pressure increases are not linear with increases in charge weight. You could easily have a pressure excursion if loaded much over max, especially with a fast powder like Trailboss. The 19,300 CUP of the published 454 Casull load is the...

    New Universal powder?

    I like Universal a lot for mid-range 357 and 45 Colt. I've had very good results in 9mm and 45 Auto too. It burns clean and meters great. It has always been made in Australia by ADI and imported and branded by Hodgdon in the US. A few years back there was a fire at the ADI plant and all of the...
