I like to reload too (well, sorta, depends on my mood), and Im basically doing some aspect of it every day of the week, mostly reloading what I shot over the week, and that's without casting. Im barely keeping up as it is. If I was casting too, Id have to give up shooting to make time.
You are right, it would be more. They do have free shipping for LEO, 1st responders, and veterans.You left off the $14.90 for shippng.
Hello fellow gunner.Hello Friends,
Been thinking for a while but life $ got in the way. Anyway I am still looking into a 1911 but am caught up in the .45 vs 9mm conundrum. My issue is based on ammo cost for the most part.
Long term I think .45 might suit my personal protection but am thinking cost of ammo in favor of 9 mm.
I could buy one and sell and move on but looking for advice.

For me, it is a time value issue …. I’d rather spend my time reloading and shooting. Casting can take away from that. And there are so many quality sources of commercial cast now. Wasn’t that way 30 years ago.
The trick is to be retired and live a LOOOOOOONG time afterwards.
The Phased plasma pistol in the 1 watt range will be passé, and the 9 v 45 debate will still rage onI've often wondered if I'll live long enough to ever see the end of the 9mm vs .45 debate.
Ultimate 9mm vs .45 test. Fire them directly at each other so the bullets kiss dead on. Use flat point WWB. Then see what is the result. Will need high speed photography. What will it prove? Nothing. Will it be fun to watch? You bet!I'll be 52 in a couple of months.

You are excused. This has to be executed by expert marksmen. Actually, I was thinking the guns have to be held in a jig of some sort and some set distance between them. I should search You Tube, someone probably has tried it.Is it OK if I don't volunteer?
My name is soon to be changed to 9/10mmShooter.Thanks 460Shooter, you summed it up pretty well for me. The way the money is moving, I will be able to get a1911 in about 6 months on account I don’t buy on credit.
What price range 1911 are you seeking, just curious, since they can be had for about $500. They even had a Tisas .45 1911 marked to $350 new on Black Fri at my LGS. Of course if you want more than a basic model, there does not seem to be a reasonable upper end of pricing but $1000 should net you a pretty nice gun. Still, even $500 is a lot if you don't have that in spare change at the moment.Thanks 460Shooter, you summed it up pretty well for me.

FWIW, I've spent a fair bit of time around some really good, professional pistol users, people who have fired more rounds in training in a week than most people do in a lifetime, people who have been in multiple gunfights with handguns. You know what you'll never hear them argue about, ever? .45 vs. 9mm.but am caught up in the .45 vs 9mm conundrum.
Please define "wonder nine", if you would.I am a traditionalist in a big way, and have little interest in wonder nines.
As much as I like .45 and my first three 1911:s were in that caliber, my long-time favorite is a Caspian-pattern double stack 9mm. 15-17rd capacity in a frame that's no thicker (with slim grips) than a run of the mill single stack, mild recoil and rock-solid performance is an enticing combination. I'd jump on another in single stack configuration in a heartbeat.I could buy one and sell and move on but looking for advice.
