I've looked high and low and can not find a "no thumb-break" paddle holster for my 96 Elite II. Seems like someone would offer one by now. Please help. Dan

I want to start reloading for my mini-14 (.223) and since the powders listed are not what I already have, I could use some help picking a powder and load. Something that throws good, (not pencil lead). Example, my 308 loves H380 and it throws great. I plan to start with the Sierra 52 gr...

My son-in-law just inherited a 38-40 lever action rifle and wants to get a revolver in the same caliber. I've looked high and low and done searches but can't come up with anything. Is anybody making revolvers in this caliber. Thanks Dan

I've been having ejection problems. It will pull the empty brass half way out and jam the next round under it. I replaced the ejector, spring and pin and it started to tear chunks out of the base but still not eject. So I replaced the barrel, it is somewhat better but will still fail to eject...

Reloading 40 cal for the Elite II is giving me a fit. First, it won't shoot lead of any kind or any load without leading badly. Second, now that I'm using plated bullets, it won't lead but they are not accurate. With jacketed bullets it will hold about 3" at 25yds, with plated it will only hold...

My P97 shoots about 6" low with both full and target loads at 25 yds. Have been looking for a couple of hours for an adjustable sight. I need one that I can install myself. I'm sure someone here has already been though this and can help me out. Thanks, Dan

Ordered extractor parts for my Bersa 45 over the net. Received them in about a week with one small problem, they were for the Bersa 380. Called Bersa and told them that I also had a 380 so no harm no foil, but I still needed the 45 parts and was willing to pay again for them. Was told that they...

I may have buggered my new 45 before having a chance to shoot it. I cleaned the new gun two days ago and must have gotten something on the frame. I noticed last night that the composite frame has what appears to be spots and runs where something has eaten into the frame. I've tried plastic...

Just found this and would like to know if anybody has one and what you think of it. Thanks Dan http://www.lasersightshop.com/lasermax-beretta-taurus.htm

It seemed to be much narrower in the slide area than the old ones and not quite as ugly overall. They left the grip width the same which felt too skinny for my hand. Does anyone sell after market grip for it. They seem to be built into the gun so I guess it would have to be a slip-on or...

I've used RCBS reloading equipment for years and recently bought a RCBS die for 40 S&W. I then broke the decapping pin, holder, and rod on a piece of tumble media inside the case. Accually only bent the pin but then decided that I could fix it. Called RCBS with credit card in hand to order a new...

I've been trying to come up with a accurate lead load for my Elite II 40cal and need some help. So far the Win. 180 FMJ that Wall Mart sells is more accurate than my reloads. Here is what I've tried so far. 170 hard cast SWC, Rem 1 1/2 primer, Bullseye & Unique in the 3.5 to 5.0 range. Should...

I'm looking for a hand priming tool. I have 3 old Lee priming tools and need one for 40cal. Apparently Lee doesn't make them anymore. I've been limping along using one for a 38. Any ideas? Dan

Can someone point me to a primer cross reference chart? Like what is the equivilants for Rem 1-1/2, 2-1/2, 5-1/2, and 9-1/2. Thanks Dan

Went to the range yesterday to check out a new Beretta. Fired 50 round of Winchester 180 gr. FMJ from Wall Mart. The first 10 rds were from the bench at 25 yds. Point of aim (pumpkin on the post sight picture) was point of impact. First 10 shot group was 2.6" (score of 97-5X). I think the gun...

I'm thinking of buying a Beretta Vertec .40 but I have a question. My son has a 92 that is very accurate and I can't figure out why, you can wiggle the barrel with the chamber closed. The 1911's have barrel bushings, the Beretta's don't. How do they do it? Thanks, Dan

The Beretta web site has been giving me fits so I thought I'd ask you guys. 1) What is the diff. between the 96 Elite I, Elite II, and the Vertec? 2) Can I assume that all the SST models have the worthless red dotes instead of white? Thanks Dan

Could someone tell me the approx. amount of kerosine per pound of corncob media and how often to re-apply. Thanks, Dan

I could use some help picking one of these, Springfield Armory Loaded SST Target or Colt Gold Cup in SST or blue. The Colt is about $150 more and used to be the standard to meassure against. My question is accuracy first but would appreciate any info on the two. It will be used as a slow fire...

I have a Bersa 380 that shoots good groups but low. I know a lot of you have these so the questions are; 1)Does your shoot low also? 2)What if anything do you plan to do about it? Thanks Dan
