When I use a Lyman digital trigger pull gauge to measure trigger pulls on my 1911's (four Wilsons and one Kimber), I see a difference in weight depending on method used. If I just cock the hammer, the pull may read 3 lb 5 oz but if I rack the slide the trigger pull will read 3 lb 10 oz. The...

The target below is a new personal best for me at 25 yds (actually 22), 50 shots, standing, two hands, no rest, iron sights, using Wilson Classic 1911. Scored 499 out of a possible 500. The ten ring measures 3 1/8 inch. Shot this target last week, just nine days before my 68th birthday. Guess...

I feel the need to spout off about one of the frequent expressions found on forums about "My brandX pistol is more accurate than I am". This statement is usually used to justify their lack of need for more accurate pistols. Well, if you shoot targets formally or informally, "IT AIN'T SO" in my...

I did a search on Ballistics Software and found one thread nearly a year old with limited discussion. So how about it, can anyone recommend a good "external ballistics" computer software package? I DON'T want anything that has to be downloaded from the net. Just got rid of some nasty viruses...

Hi Gang, Got room for another new member? I recognize some of the names here as members of the 1911 Forum. I would like to join in the discussions here. My primary interests are Handguns (especially 1911's and S&W M629's) and Reloading. I have been casting lead pistol bullets and...
