A very long time, definitely worth it. When my gun wasn't ejecting, it was cramming empty cases back into the feed lips and spread them a little. Per Hilton Yam = 10-8, it's time to throw them away...

Counted primer sleeves, 14,000 rounds. Almost all of them on 7 CMCs. I had 3 at first, then bought a couple more, and then a couple more. They are numbered and I rotate through all of them, so the...
Gotta go home and count the empty primer sleeves under my reloading bench. :-D
Longer term report. Still the same report.
Long term report. Chips have been the most durable, reliable, odd ammo tolerant, and required the least maintenance.
I agree, but the politicians are still wrong, regardless of who elected them. :D
Excellent stuff, I love the Police/Firefighter contrast...not that I blame the police, I blame the politicians.
*lightbulb* A Sally Port would be awesome...instead of everyone having to hide/lock down/evacuate, and having to fight, simply contain the guy in a bulletproof glass entry room.

Thank you for your post, good from someone actually doing it.
Pastor is the shot-caller and he's on board. We are a smallish church, around 300 in the building on Sundays, half that for school. ...
Any input on this one?

SoCal - thanks. Our focus is one planning/prep, I think we can take care of "which end is the sharp end".
Also, need to make a plan to avoid good guy civvy/LE conflict.
Good stuff, thanks.
Coordinate/plan with LE/EMS before hand, no?
Sorry, bit unclear, posting too late at night, but I wanted to get it out there. We're looking at coming up with some plans for the hardening or protection of our church/school. I'm familiar with...
In light of recent events, myself and some friends and family are very much interested in learning along these lines, church/private school. Info, links, recommendations appreciated, thanks.
I hope I'm wrong, but I would have ordered 1 first to try it and see if your gun likes them. Though a good smith will say any quality gun should run with any quality magazine.
Thanks, I called and emailed them back when I was having nosedive problems and didn't hear back. That was around the time they had the fire though. I the problem was abuse = bent - and neglect = crud...
Tripp quit locking back and wasn't dropping free. One feed lip was dented towards the front and the mag body and follwer had collected a bunch of sticky crud from lead reloads. Cleaned and fixed it,...
Getting a passing grade from Chuck is pretty cool. Congrats.
CT Brian is a 1911 pro that builds officer's size 1911s more often than most it seems. I emailed him when I got it and asked what I should change or watch out for. He said change the entire recoil...
ghetto, it just about is one, though not intentionally, it's just working through parts and going with what works. It's changed some since the pics, still evolving.
I also have an itty bitty Defender, (in case I actually get around to trying to get my CCW) but who wants to see that unreliable piece of junk. ;) (it has actually been utterly reliable for me)

I read this thread earlier... and then I went to the range, shot ~4 boxes of lead, came home starving and....forgot to wash my hands before I ate baby carrots, fries, and fish sticks...with my...
I printed out all the drills to take to the range. One I came up with is to load all mags with 2 rounds each, practice acquiring sight picture, sight tracking double taps, reloading. Made a big...
Excellent stuff, thanks.
I was going through my targets and found some playing cards from an online shooting competition at one of the Ruger forums from a year or two ago. I kept 4 out of 5 shots...
I discovered something last night. My shots had been tending left. I realized that when reloading, I'm twisting the gun left in my strong hand to get to the mag release, and not getting it tweaked...
