    9mm 1911 ,who would want one ?

    Is the above a tip of your hand, so to speak? If so, and if you’re serious about a .355/.356, you may want to ponder the only other 1911 chambering that bears J. Browning’s & Colt’s fingerprints, the 38 Auto - aka, the 38 Super. I will never forget picking up my very first 38 Super nor the...

    If you think ammo is expensive nowadays....

    $1750 :oops:! Jesse James rode a horse, carried a gun & even he wasn't that big of a crook!

    What is the nicest gun you were ever given as a gift?

    Mine would be a 2nd cousin's Chicago PD service revolver, a S&W no-dash 586(M) that did talk.

    Why not 22TCM?

    @ms6852 ... you're very welcome. I hope you end up getting into a 22 TCM pistol. You're welcome ... I swiped the back of the hood a couple times with a stone, other than that, it was a true drop-in.

    Why not 22TCM?

    FWIW, in response to this common 22 TCM theme, I posted the following on another forum a few weeks back: Hopefully, that proprietary status of 22 TCM ammo will be changing. Last year, on a 22 TCM Facebook page & in response to constant carping about the lack of (ammo) availability & variety, 22...

    My favorite Self-Deafness gun

    Prior to joining a gun club, most all my indoor shooting was done at a local gun shop/range. Having recently acquired a 30 Carbine NMB, I took it to said range & when queried about my chamberings, I said, 357 Sig; 38 Super & 30 Carbine. The associate says, no rifles allowed on the range, to...

    Quick Question: Easy way to separate SPP & LPP .45 brass?

    Stop the presses… Having successfully created sofware to separate cases via headstamps, this savant has moved on to separating 45 cases by way of primers: https://youtu.be/vlp6HSuLg_o?si=7EcRObSZcet-Tcwd

    Quick Question: Easy way to separate SPP & LPP .45 brass?

    @CQB45ACP … It’s far more tactile than it is audible … I suppose if one had cases lined out in a snug loading block, there might be that jointed rail, clickety-clack sound, but not so much with individual cases. The only thinking going on is to be sure the checked cases get tossed into the...

    Quick Question: Easy way to separate SPP & LPP .45 brass?

    Simplest method I have found & one that can be mindlessly performed while watching a game on TV is to (prior to decapping) run a spent 22 long rifle case across the 45 case’s primer … the 22’s mouth will catch on a large pistol primer (pocket), whereas it slides right over a small pistol primer.

    TISAS' "Armed Services" 1911A1

    Sounds plausible, having previously released a 1911-A1 U.S.M.C. model

    TISAS' "Armed Services" 1911A1

    Per the TisasUSA website: Tisas does not use any cast metal parts on our firearms. The use of quality MIM parts on some models was used in prior generations of our 1911 products but in mid-2022 we began moving away from use of those parts. Tisas models produced after 11/1/2022 contain machined...
