I was a bullseye shooter for 55 years. High Expert indoors and outdoors. In my older age the shake is getting the better of me with long barrels so I concentrate on short barrels and a 2 hand hold because with just one, I'm shaking like a leaf. This was the Internet Snubby match on the S&W forum...

If you want to see a taped 1911, here you go. Stu

I don't know about the Elektra, but I can comment on STI and the picture says it all. New gun, out of the box, sighting it in at 50 feet. This is a STI Lawman 4.0 (Combat Commander size).. Stu

At least 100 bits in that set so if it was from Brownell (known high quality) the bits would be $3 each or a 58 bit set at $130. You be the judge. Stu

Count me as one of those people that wouldn't own either. Stu

For low recoil SD rounds, might I suggest target wadcutters. Low recoil usually means whatever you are using will not expand, so why not just use a full meplat hole puncher. Gunsmith's can usually do some good to most triggers out there. I don't know anything about Taurus but would imagine it...

Jim, I'm not getting the link to work on my machine. Could you do the search and then link to the actual thread please. thanks, Stu

The ISSF rules were changed in 2005 banning the use of the short. The rule change was to try and have competitors use one gun for both Standard Pistol and Rapid Fire Pistol, but you know those sneaky manufacturers and they managed to make pistols that were slightly better for Rapid Fire. Stu

Very few of the model 41-1 (short cartridge when model numbered) were produced. The model which started in 1960 was discontinued in 1973. S&W built 28 of the 41-1 to use up parts on hand in 1976-77, and that was the end of the .22 short conversion. The kit was never sold to the public, just...

When I received my Mike Curtis built 1911 bullseye gun it would not function with target ammo because it was so tight. I asked Mike and he told me to just run 500 rounds of full tilt ball ammo through it. I did and it worked. Now, 20 years later the gun is still sewing machine tight. I do tend...

I would strongly suggest visiting the S&W Collectors Asson. forum at http://smith-wessonforum.com/forum.php and go to the Classified section and ask your question there in the Acces/Misc For Sale or Trade section. I'm sure you will be inundated with answers. Stu

It is a pre model 10 that is officially known to collectors as .38 Military & Police (Postwar) Pre-Model 10. The guns made just after the war were prefix S serial numbers and the C series started March 22, 1948 with C1. From the serial numbers I've seen your gun would have shipped from S&W late...

32-20 Winchester (32-20 WCF) would suite your purposes. This cartridge has been used for your very purpose for over 100 years. Stu

I'm on my 4th 8045 Cougar from Stoeger. Friends insist on buying them out of my hands when they shoot them and find out how inexpensive they are. I tried a PX4 but sold it and went back to the all metal Cougar. I guess I don't like the newer plastic guns. Stu

The rotating barrel design is a great recoil absorb-er. I have the PX4's earlier version, the 8045 Cougar in .45ACP. I can shoot hotter loads in it than I can stand in a 1911 and it doesn't seem to bother. They are worth far more than their price. Stu

Blue loctite is for screws 1/2" (14mm) and larger. You want Loctite Purple #222. You can find the accurate Loctite information at www.loctite.com and you want the "Threadlocking Users Guide". You should also read about cleaning and priming the screw threads. Stu retired Mercedes-Benz mechanic

One thing to remember, Jim Sr, built his guns very, very tight. If your gun shows little to no wear, you will probably have to run full tilt loads through it to loosen it up a bit. When Mike Curtis built my 1911 he told me to run 500 rounds of ball through it to get it to operate with target...

Try it at 50 yards without the coffee and report back. :~) Stu

I'm pretty sure your Clark long slide will outshoot my Mike Curtis standard 1911 and that test target is 1 3/16 x 1 3/16 for 10 rounds at 50 yards. When Jim Sr. was building his long slides everyone marveled at the accuracy. Will the Hi Standard shoot under an inch at 50 yards because that's...

Probably eclipse any handgun you own. Stu
