    Dillon 550 primer problem

    "It's working nearly perfect now, except occasionally some primers seem ever-so-slightly canted, with one side below flush, and the other side a couple thousands of an inch above flush." You mention it is a "Used" 550, how used? Other owner may not have taken care of it or known how to...

    "...the gun shop owner...is a kimber guy. All the guy could say was "nothin like a kimber"." Of course it's "nothin like a Kimber"! Kimbers are "Bling-Bling" Guns, always the latest & greatest edition, shiny, pistol with gimmick cosmetics, like, wretch, :barf: their "SIS" "Glitz-Gun". :barf:

    New Les Baer Premier 2 pics

    Ever think that Les uses his now "famous" triangle-box in case the owner needs to send their gun back to him? FWIW, own 1 1/2" P-IIT has been back once in 12+ years. GT Weenies can guess what it was sent back in!:what:

    Instructor said not to lock her elbows

    "Where's she coming from on this?" Julie also has an article in 'DPA's "Tactical Journal V-12 # 1" concerning "Freestyle Stance", etc. She specifically mentions using the arm, shoulder & chest muscles to help control recoil and ... not locking the elbows. "I strongly discourage it...

    Average lifespan of Glock barrel?

    "The weapon function fine it is just extremely inaccurate." Can relate a similar story of a "claimed" used LE G20 personally bought quite a while ago. Everything about the gun looked fine inside & out but even playing IDPA games with it on close targets with own hand-loads proved how poor the...

    1911 (poll)

    Any of the 1911's or 1911A1's built for the Military and generally marked "U.S. Property" are considered collectors items and really have no business in a poll with comercial pistols built on a long run-out patent, plus current guns are highly modified or enhanced compared to the original...

    Ahh! First Squib STUCK in my barrel!

    "I always thought that squibs were fairly easy to deal with. Is my situation abnormal?" Assuming the bullet lodged just barely down the bore, you had what's called a "Dry" Squib i.e., powered by the primer alone. Primers can generate 3 to 5K Lb of pressure. Can also generally judge this by...

    Fatigue

    "Willpower rarely works over frayed tendons and destroyed nerves. I gained a serious strategic disadvantage by training too intensely." Sage advice at a minimum! Read some of John Taffin's work? Don't want to end up crippled with arthritis from years of shooting "to much", to often, etc...

    S&B brass + Remington primers = :(

    "...the S&B primer pockets are too tight," This is funny, always toos the S&B find in 9mm as even with chamfering or swaging FEDS & WINS don't seat well or at all in a progressive. Have even heard their holes can be/are off-center? FWIW, have only tried RCBS Prep Center & Hornady press Swager.

    Texturing the grip front and back...How is this done??

    "Matting isn't as aggressively textured as stippling is." Had a Big "Name" Shop hand-matte a couple of p-35's of mine. While not unattractive the "grip" didn't last long with a good amount of from the holster work and playing in IDPA, etc. HM is now protected with 3M's syn rubber textured...
