    Problems w/ Dan Wesson CBOB

    Yep, spring and lube. Be careful with the DW's when breaking them in. If not properly lubed these Stainless steel guns can develop galling issues. FP-10 lube works real well to prevent this. Lube the snot outa the rails.

    7.5x55=?

    Similar to a .308 but usually slings a slightly heavier bullet. Good round

    First Post EVER! 1911 Commander sized options

    Another +1 on the CBOB, Series 70, no MIM, night sights, and nothing on the market like it except for a $2000+ Ed Brown.

    .380 defense loads

    I second JimKirk, when I had my P3AT I did extensive ballistic testing of my own with several different loads. That Corbon DPX with the solid copper bullet was the only one I had any faith in, good 1000+ velocity and those solid copper bullets penetrate much farther than a comparable lead core...

    Colt 45 Snub Power

    Sounds about right, most plinking 45colt loads are in the 800fps range with a longer barrel, 650 is probably about as good as it gets for that short a barrel unless you think your gun can handle "ruger" loads through it.

    What's your favorite full size 1911 that you own?

    Bud's gets them in every now and then, just check every so often. When I got mine I think they lasted about 12 hours.

    What's your favorite full size 1911 that you own?

    I recently got a Les Baer Custom Concept III from a guy on here and I'm in love, awesome gun. See why people pay a premium for a semi-custom 1911. Just got a DW CBOB as well, haven't shot it but if it shoots as good as it looks I'll have another keeper.

    Does anybody make a .45ACP load in 230gr. at about 1050fps?

    Vern, ain't been shooting them out of a 1911, Glock, HK, and FN45 mainly.

    Does anybody make a .45ACP load in 230gr. at about 1050fps?

    Doubletap has a 230gr HP Gold Dot load that clocks 1014fps. Been using for carry ammo for awhile now. Supposedly it's not a +P loading either. It definetly feels warm but I always get good expansion out of that 230gr GD.

    Does it ever stop?

    Nope, sometimes I feel like being a crack addict would be a cheaper habit! Best I can tell you is to become good with the guns you already have before jumping off into something else. It'll save you some money down the road.

    EAA Witness 10mm

    The all-steel witness ain't light, it will soak up the recoil just fine. With full power 10mm loads it will SOUND like a cannon though. +1 on going to a heavier 22lb recoil spring if shooting full power 10's. It will still zing brass into the next county.:)

    EAA witness 45acp. What's the real deal with this gun?

    As others have said, if you can pay a little more for the Witness Match. Heck of a deal for sub $500, the fancy case it comes in is worth a $100 more by itself.:D

    Gun control in Iran?

    Dictatorships, Theocracies, Oglirachy's, etc for some reason don't seem to like for their peasants to own firearms, don't know why that would be;).

    Anything larger than .454 Casull in 6-shooters?

    Ruger's .454 six shooter is more than strong enough, as I recall they proof test the loads at 90,000psi, the .454's max saami pressure a "puny" 65,000psi ain't gonna hurt that gun. Heard of issues in the Taurus's though. I don't deny that the 460 has more oompth but it ain't by much unless...

    Fusion 10mm longslide range report

    Wow! That's awesome waterhouse. Just what the 10mm needs, even more barrel length!:D Try any Doubletaps in it yet?

    Opinions on Les Bear 1911s?

    Actually Baer's seem to be the value leader of the semi-custom's, most of the Ed Brown's and Wilson's are two or three hundred more than the Baers. "Bluing was painted on", um, OK.

    Texas Senate Allows Guns in College Classrooms

    Yep, our only chance I possibly left is to call the Governor's office and request he call a special session. Tell the phone operator that these bills made it through committee, are very important to Texans, and deserve a vote, also remind them you know Mr. Perry is coming up on a re-election.:cool:

    Ruger P90-What do u think?

    Lawyers, though the Ruger is a little bit different animal than other decocker pistols. The decocker actually moves the firing pin forward instead of "blocking" the trigger. Still, I'd never own a gun that was never made to carry one down the pipe when needed. Good gun though, I may sell mine...

    Opinions on Les Bear 1911s?

    Sounds like it's just very tight. These things are tight, tight when new! While no doubt they're reliable if your wanting one for carry you may want to look at one a little looser like a Dan Wesson CBOB or even the Ed Brown Kobra carry. Brown's are known to be accurate but looser than the Baer's.
