I've been reloading for twenty years and I always ignored Lee stuff as "cheap" or lesser quality than other companies like RCBS, Lyman and Dillon.

I've recently started using Lee products and I'm...

I don't see a bifurcation.

Look at Wilson's and Ed Browns. This time last year there was a glut of $1700 or so factory custom 1911's sitting on the used market. This year they don't exist.

We have one at work. It's absolutely fantastic.

In the age of tall sights almost all the old "factory" sight pushers are useless. I've been doing a lot punch and tap for the past few years.

Can someone please bust out a set of calipers and measure the height of the rear of a DPP?

I just ordered one and cannot find that dimension listed anywhere online.

I've owned two Gen5's...one of the first G19's and a recent G17 MOS (both since traded away).

I've also owned Gen4 guns (also long gone) and always find myself coming back to the Gen3 or Gen2's....

Sigh....

I'm looking for an H&K USP Compact in 40 S&W.

Please PM me if you have one for sale.

I've never had the gun dream. I typically don't remember my dreams much past waking...except for one. I was one of the first cars on scene to a "mass casualty" drunk driver crash. The drunk was...

...and I'm not by any means saying that SIMS, FATS, Virtra and other scenario-based training isn't important. It's absolutely vital, especially at developing critical decision-making, threat...

Agreed. I would argue though that difference between fear-induced physiological response varies dependent upon event.

I'm speaking with regards to what the original poster, feudist, asked about.

You likely did the right thing by passing.

A lot of times Cerakote is used to cover something nasty.

If it wasn't properly applied Cerakote can sometimes be removed chemically. It it was done...

What you're describing is not that uncommon.

I highly doubt your ammo was your variable or even the gun for that matter. ...

If memory serves it was primarily related to the takedown lever and a separate issue with the magazine release being out of spec.

This is an early 2000's non-proofed P220 I foolishly traded away (like all the other P220's I've owned).

I would look for one similar:

If you want a P220, find an old one, pre-2006.

With the exception of some of the $2k German-made custom guns, the current production "Classic" SIG's feel like cheap knockoffs of the excellent...

Kinda what I figured and I agree. If it's G21 size no thanks.

I have more 40 S&W ammo than I care to admit and the only 40 S&W gun I still own is a G22 Gen3 that I keep for sentimental reasons.

MSparks909

Is the slide the size of a Glock 21 or somewhere between a 17 and 21?

I have no clue why I want one of these since I swore off 40 S&W a long time ago, but I find myself drawn to it.

It's been beaten to death in other threads, but the difference with the other vulnerable designs (any non-tapered magazine design of which the venerable 1911 is certainly one of them) is that either...

Thanks for asking.

It never hurts to asked. I've learned a lot from local reps and instructors in those classes, including things that the company probably would not have wanted passed along.
