    1911 Half Cock Question

    I enjoyed reading your posts. The replies to your excellent posts have caused me to leave the site. For me it's not worth the bovine fecal matter this moderator shovels around. Good luck to you and God bless.

    Question about 1911 mainspring housings ...

    The Fusion 25LPI aluminum is great for the $. Steer clear of John Mason parts, they're junk.

    New development with carry gun, (pic).

    The deeper you drop that pistol in your hand the more control you will have. A beavertail safety would solve your bump/bite problem and make your gun more controllable. You could also bob it.

    Hard to beat the Paratrooper (short BBL) SKS for cost and reliability.

    In search of a more powerful 44spl carry load.

    My ammo is a slightly older lot in the old style box. I wonder if that has any bearing in this matter? posted via tapatalk using android. My first thought was no, but that would be dependent on how it was stored. Humidity etc.. The 190 grain Buf Bores will replace the ammo in my 624...

    In search of a more powerful 44spl carry load.

    From Speer: We have a 200 grain 44 Special load whose bullet was designed expressly for 44 Special velocities. It expands at velocities as low as 780 ft/sec in our tests. I'd like to see what your same lot of ammo would do out of a 4" tube just out of curiosity. The Buffalo Bore looks like a...

    IS this a good trade XD for SW J frame

    Just to ad to the previous comments. You can always shoot 38SPL. instead of .357Mag. I would check the lock up on the cylinder if it has a high round count.

    Hardball for SD?

    In most 1911's the contour of hardball is most likely to feed. Of the HP's those most rounded and contoured like hardball are most likely to feed. If you get a FTF it doesn't matter how nasty your flying ashtray is. A problem some shooters have, myself included is the cost of firing enough primo...

    HD gun, on your person or kept handy?

    There is something near everywhere in my home. If I feel the need to carry outside at night I have a light Colt Cobra that tucks in my waist band. My road has no outlet, so any odd vehicles or a Sheriff chopper spotlighting nearby, I go with a 1911.

    1911 Half Cock Question

    I felt the same way until the hammer on a Win. 94 got away from me. If I could have left it cocked and locked it would have never happened. I missed my toe by the way, but killed a nice piece of furniture in the next apartment. That was over 30 years ago and I still don't know how to needle...

    Interesting statistical chart---Obama & firearms.....

    Fast and Furious was a Chicago thug attempt to create a climate in which the 2A could be attacked by imposing regulations on FFL holders with the support of the regimes lapdog media hounds to influence public opinion. But it all went horribly wrong for them didn't it? In my paranoid, conspiracy...

    1911 Half Cock Question

    Bottom line, anytime you lower the hammer on a live round you are taking an unnecessary risk of AD, even if you're John Moses Browning. I guess John was used to the half cock since it was on his 1902, 1905, and 1907 models none of which had a thumb safety until Uncle Sam required it. There is no...

    I prefer Magsafe to Glazer for a frangible but both are fine.

    I bought a S&W Model 36, any advice?

    If you do pop the plate off, and haven't done it before, DON"T PRY IT. Rap the frame with a non marring tool and it should come off. Since it's a carry gun you might consider new standard weight springs from Wolff. It's good to have a set on hand even if you elect to use the old springs. Inspect...

    What a great looking rifle! I have a friend that has been collecting AR's. I'll definitely send him a link to your post. I'm sending them a couple of 1911 BBl.'s for crown and flush cut to the bushing. Springfield will only do an 11 degree crown in their custom shop but I want a deeper combat...

    Thanks rjrivero. Their rates seem really reasonable and I got a quick response when I emailed them a question, but it's nice to get first hand feedback. Appreciate it!

    I just wondered if any of our members had sent their barrel in for crown cutting at ADCO. Any feedback would be appreciated. I'm considering having a 1911 barrel crowned. Thanks.

    question about mailing ammo

    In my area (Peoples Republic of Kaliforniastan) FedX will not accept ammo at the counter. They will only accept it if they pick it up, and only if you have a FedX account. Any ORM-D box should be marked Adult Signature Required. UPS will usually hit the box with the stamp without charging you...
