In the interest of revealing the truth, I can't let that go unchallenged. You are confusing pistol philosophy with pistol acuracy. You brought up the subject, I didn't, and it requires a rebuttal. When you shoot on a range, you are shooting at a target that is only a few thousandths thick...in...

There's a good one in Shelbyville, but he doesn't have access to the web.

When Marsh WIlliams was working on the prototype carbine at Winchester, he experienced the same problem, which proved to be an underswized access hole to the piston head from the bore. He set the barrel up in a drill press and promptly broke it off, making removal a major operation. When I had...

This is common to pistols and revolvers. If you will look inside the bore of Colt commemorative 7/8 replicated "revolvers", actually a single shot .22 short, you see a definite impression of the legend. When you slam steel type into a surface, the metal beneath it compresses and goes deep into...

I have tested both types. THe grip mounted type has serious parallax problems, i.e., it is dead on only at the precise range it was sighted in for. THe bullet wanders at closer and farther distances. The error is horizontal, and quite pronounced. The internal type is the best engineered, since...

An 18.5# Wolff spring and a polished ramp. If you load a cartridge into the chamber and remove it without firing the pistol: If the primer has a dimple, change to a heavier firing pin spring; if it does not show a dimple, leave the firing pin spring as it is. A metal polishing cloth and a...

I'd choose a S&W with an ORANGE sight insert. Erin go braless!

My philosophy is as follows: If I found myself in a desperate situation with an untried handgun and only 2 rounds of ammunition, I'd use one round to see where the weapon hits and make certain of function. This is based on the conclusion that only hits count; it is especially true of a strange...

If you want to learn as you work, buy one of the Systemas. (When you look it over, you will see that you have a major challenge.) Then, buy a good quality match barrel, a good quality trigger, extractor, long ejector, slide lock, disconnector and recoil system. You should also buy a set of good...

I had a .380 Colt at 15. I bought my first 1911, a veteran of WW-I from an Army Colonel I knew when the Korean war started in 1950, when I was 20. Carried it through the war and long afterward. I've had dozens of 1911's, worked on thousands of them and today I own 4 of them. The latest blued...

For those of you who own Lugers or Nambu pistols and intend to shoot them, these new web pages will discuss loading, repair, aftermarket parts available and preservation tips on these curios and relics. [email protected] [email protected]...

Your standard weight firing pin spring is OK unless, when you chamber a round, the firing pin "dimples" the primer. Heavy firing pin springs are OK to use with 18-20 pound recoil springs. Some old, beaten down hammer springs may give a light strike with a heavy firing pin spring and result in...

I have several drawers full of shop-made tools, accessories and fixtures that are not comercially available. Perhaps we should begin a collection and publish a book on the subject. I know a publisher who is willing to cooperate.

You can use the Mini Mill for making small parts. The frontstrap grooves requires the use of indexing centers, so there would be no room for the setup. Do not try to make the grooves with a grip frame held stationary under the cutter; 'twon't work. Also the grooves are cut with a wheel cutter...

When you test the 27 make certain that the disconnector is working. If it fails, usually the hammer only falls to half cock. Most often, when you get a double bump it is because the shooter is taking a very light grip and dainty trigger squeeze, and the pistol recedes into the muscles of the...

Well, you only have to post something that refutes what I've said, together with your documentation. I've read your posts and I can't find any documentation for anything. Why do you demand things from others that you don't provide? And, incidentally, have you found ANY STATEMENT from the...

Hondo: None of that is in the bible or any other religious writing. Of course, you can MIS-INTERPRET anything, like the Devil quoting scripture, but a gathering of Barons forced King John to grant the rights in the Magna Charta more or less at swordpoint. God had nothing to do with it...

GeeGee: If you want a simple answer to your question, here it is: The movement is alive and well and gathering more adherants every day. Heed the words of the poet: Then spake brave Horatius, the captain of the gate, To every man upon this earth death comes soon or late, How can a man...

Do I have to draw out every point? If you are a student of recent history, you can look at, say, two of the many resistance groups that have existed and easily point out the successful ones and those that failed miserably. NO GROUP THAT RESEMBLED AN ARMY OR A MILITIA WAS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS...

"dear me, how will we ever recover?" I dunno, Blooper. Seems to me some high ranking doodlyfloppers said that about Billy Mitchell a few years ago. And, look at what it cost America in the long run... It just goes to prove that "never" is one helluva long time. I defy any forumite to find one...
