Does anyone know why Ruger ceased production of the LC9? Even though I never owned one (but intended to!), it seemed like an ideal concealed-carry pistol, maybe the best.

Is it safe to fire high-recoil Spitzer bullets in a rifle with a tubular magazine, like the Model 94? Would a soft nose Spitzer (assuming there is such a thing) be markedly safer?

Back in the day shotgun shells were sold that had the pellets inside a plastic sleeve that traveled out the barrel with the shot when fired, then fell away, supposedly keeping the shot together in flight better. Is that still done? (I think there was an eventual dawning that sowing plastic was a...

What's the best wallet-style holster for a Kel-Tec P32? J&J Leather Store has a nice looking one at Amazon, but a question I posted was removed evidently. I simply asked if the holster was sticky to the pocket fabric and stayed firmly in place when the pistol was drawn, an essential attribute...

Reading your post and applying some reading comprehension, your last sentence, the marked difference between HK and AR suggests that maybe a skilled tinkerer could come up with an AR feed ramp that is daintier still. That was really my question; has anybody done that. Still, the responses have...

Fusion is what I use, too. I was just curious if tip damage was a valid consideration (it should be, you would think).

Interesting. Thanks for the tip.

I haven't verified the effect on accuracy; It's just supposition. So your assertion is, since the marring is consistent, it won't affect accuracy? If one dropped a pristine cartridge (hollow-point, for instance, since they get thoroughly marred) into the chamber, released the bolt and fired it...

I really can't provide specific information, just that I've noticed in the past, that soft-nosed bullets will be significantly "buggered" have being fed into the chamber. I've also noticed it using hollow-points, the tips of which cannot take rough treatment. And that has got to have a negative...

Can grinding/polishing eliminate an contact with the tip in the feeding process??

I was wondering if there exists a design that DOES NOT mar the tip, period. As you say, it's physics/engineering.

Are there after-market feed ramps that don't (as in, DO NOT) mar the tip of a round being fed into the chamber? Like, marring the tip of a hollow-point bullet.

Can anyone recommend a good flap holster for the Ruger 22/45? Triple K makes a really nice holster for the Mark IVs (#17 Hunter Flap Holster) but I can't get accurate information whether or not it will fit the 22/45.

What's the most popular .45 ACP hollow-point, including weight?

I really like the Micro Compact. I haven't had any totally bizarre problems with it, that couldn't be figured out.

I wish I'd've known you had one to sell. I have one, but I'd've bought it, flat out, as long as it wasn't banged up. Mine initially would reliably malfunction -- failure to feed, stove pipe, failure to extract -- routinely. The problem with the pistol was, the distance between the extractor...

Does anyone know why Springfield Armory dropped production of the 1911-style Micro Compact?

This is probably the solution, at a reasonable price: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bike-clothing/cycling-gloves/fingerless-cycling-gloves/bontrager-solstice-cycling-glove/p/14970/?colorCode=black

Re the cycling gloves, I kinda suspected that to be the case. I'm mulling over these two (tentatively): https://www.castelli-cycling.com/us/men/accessories/cycling-gloves/p/451902821P-414 https://www.castelli-cycling.com/us/men/accessories/cycling-gloves/p/452107521P-085 Nautally, I'd like to...

Good point. Thx.
