Hello Peter, did the Hornady PTX powder measure stop fit on the RCBS? I have the case activated linkage kit and want to get the stop for my Uniflow as well.

I completely agree with Schmakey response (except withholding the comment on Kimbers-as I don't like badmouthing other manufacturers.) I would add Les Baer to the "Getting Fancy" to "Obscene" Categories. When I was looking for a 1911 in the same price range I had it narrowed down to either...

Smith & Wesson CS45, 4513, 4516, 457.

Only problem I see with 10mm besides recoil is ammo availability. Generally you can't walk into a Wally-World and get ammo. Given the cost & availability, reloading is the best way to go.

Finally got my bench set up and equipment mounted, so figured I would post a couple updated pics.

Cannot be done. Some like caliber S&W slides can be interchanged, but not different calibers.

Well the Mr's and I started a basement refinishing project last summer, and are still slowly working on it--no bank financing. Added on an additional bedroom, plan on an addition 1/2 bath, and or hobby room. Still going to be a work in progress for awhile, but this weekend with the help of my...

Another suggestion is Sarge's Grips.

The 645 and 745 are first Gen. S&W's and use screws to mount the grips. the 4506 grips are for 3rd Gens. and snap in and use grip pin. So they are not interchangeable.

What Airburst said: "S&W 5906, 5903, 659. Any of the S&W stainless autoloaders would do you well."

I have a S&W 5906 with Crimson Trace Lasergrips. I have the gun for home-defense as it has always been a reliable functioning firearm, shoots true to POA, with the lasergrips I can easily identify where I am aiming with 2 young kids in the house, and I like the ability of the DA/SA trigger pull.

Here is my new to me 1911.

I think the 5906 or even a 5903 would be a good choice, as they are quality weapons, cheaper to shoot than the 45 series S&W's, and have the option of adding Crimson Trace Lasergrips. Here is a pic of my HD gun.

I had a lot of difficulty installing the LG359 Lasergrips on my S&W 5906. I think the material of the grips needs to be worked a little to get them to fit flush with the frame, I very frustrating, but after several attempts I finally got mine to fit properly. Got the pleasure of doing it...

Hard too choose. Picked up a NIB S&W 5906, a S&W 2206 for my son, and newest acquired is a NIB S&W 4566TSW. Like the 4" stainless steel S&W's

I use standard pressure 124gr Remington Golden Sabers. The expansion is amazing. I'm sure there are probably some better out there, but I really do like the Golden Sabers.

I just picked up a 4.5" 2206 for my son this summer, and tried a few different brands in it to make sure it functions fine. Had problems with several: Remington 333 bulk, Winchester Xpert bulk, had several issues like you mentioned. Remington Thunderbolts did ok, but still weren't great...

I am not a fan of the 3" - 3.5" barrels on guns for target shooting. Prefer the 4"-5". The 3" - 3.5" barrels are good for ccw's, but the short sight radius, I find difficult to keep close groups for target practice--but then again, I am not a great shooter.

The 1911 Forum http://forums.1911forum.com/has a lot of great people and wealth of knowledge in relation to carry these full size autos. Think the most common suggestions are to: 1: Get a good gun belt. 2: Find a quality holster, such as: Milt Sparks VM II. Hope this is somewhat helpful.

I'm a younger guy, 29, but with arthritis I prefer the ease of an autoloader on my arthritic wrists compared to the kick of a .357 magnum. I've shot my father's S&W 686 and love the gun, it shoots extremely accurate. I know it is not true of every revolver, but even compared to my S&W 5906 the...
