    Very Pleased with New Lee Classic Turret

    Just got this press in from Graf's today (they are great to deal with, by the way). Cranked out some 9mm with Berry's 124gr plated bullets and am very happy with this press! I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a strong press that can move faster than a single stage but avoids the...

    Lee Classic Turret or Lee Loadmaster: Which One?

    I was pretty much 100% settled on getting a Lee Classic Turret w/ Pro Auto Disk Powder Measure, Safety Prime system, and 9mm Lee Deluxe Carbide die set when I realized that for about $15 - $20 more I can get a Loadmaster setup ready to go in 9mm. Regardless, I can get either setup for under...

    Feedback on Factorysales.com/fsreloading.com

    Can anyone provide feedback from recent transactions with this company? They sell a lot of Lee stuff online and have good prices, but I've heard variable reports of them taking weeks or even months to ship items, not having items in stock, and not communicating back well (in addition to...

    NRA Annual Meeting Exhibit Questions

    I'm planning on going to this in April since it's within driving distance. Can someone tell me in the exhibit hall is it just merchandise on display or can you actually purchase items? Obviously I know I'm not going to purchase firearms, but are there vendors set up sell accessories and such...

    Firearms Refinisher in Illinois?

    Anyone know of a firearms refinisher in Illinois? I'm in Central IL and would like to know if anyone knows of gunsmiths that do hard chrome or electroless nickel finishes in the area.

    9mm 1911: STI Spartan or Kimber Custom Stainless Target

    Anyone have any first hand experience firing both of these? Why am I considering these two? - Want adjustable sights. - Must be 9mm. - STI Spartan seems to be the best buy for adjustable sighted 9mm 1911 in the lower price range (sub $700). Don't want the Taurus and it is fixed sight...

    STI Spartan or EAA Witness Elite Match instead of CZ?

    I have a CZ-75b and am considering getting rid of it in favor of an STI Spartan 9mm or an EAA Witness Elite Match. Heavily leaning toward the Spartan as I want a nice range gun, with crisp SA trigger, good sights, and slim grip as top priority. The CZ fills none of these needs (sights are...

    New Toy: Walther PPQ or STI Spartan 9mm?

    Trying to decide on one of these as my next new toy. Yes, completely different formats and actions, I know. And I have enough handguns now that I don't "need" anything. CCW is not a factor at all (I live in IL). This would primarily be a range gun. Of course, the decision is whatever...

    Is it a Franchi Alcione or Franchi Diamond?

    Okay, odd question. Was at Dick's the other day and asked to see a Franchi Diamond o/u 12 gauge. Guy hands it to me, it says Diamond, but has the barrel selector on the trigger (not part of the safety) like the Alcione. I also noticed it did not have the "dished out" portion on the bottom of...

    Price Check: Used CZ-75 B

    Local shop has a used CZ-75 B in what appears to be LN condition. Comes wth 1 - 15 rd and 2 - 10 rd mags. No special finish... just the standard finish. Asking $399. Decent price? BTW, the Gander Mountain down the road say they can order a new one for me for $499... which sounds real...

    Kimber Classic Custom Target Opinions

    Can someone tell me if $699 is a good price on a Kimber Classic Custom Target in Like New condition? It's not a Custom II... it truly is a Series I Kimber in LN condition I saw at a shop the other day. It's blued (not high gloss, but the matte blue used on many Kimbers). I'm looking for a...

    Springfield, S&W, & Kimber Warranty Questions

    I've heard good things regarding both S&W and Springfield when it comes to warranty service (paying shipping both ways, fast service, etc.). I know both offer "lifetime" service on their products. However, I do have a question. Does the warranty only apply to the original purchaser of the...
