I did not see a certain fact stated in the thread. Flite Control buckshot was designed to perform best in cylinder barrels. In shotguns with screw in choke tubes, using a cylinder tube is necessary...

I have fired other peoples' Ruger lightweight Commanders and thought they were fine pistols. I wish that I had one. Unlike many, I never had problems making a 1911 run. Enjoy!
Like you I decided to maintain the license. I think that folks who carry weapons must use common sense when encountering police officers. This statement has been valid for at least 300 years. Now...
I have the coyote version and really like it. Two points: Charge time is 4 hours. There's no indication that recharging is needed except light becomes dimmer. The Amazon price is a super deal. The...
There's risk to using a wooden dowel. If it spits, part of it can be driven between bullet and barrel. This complicates removal. Using wood dowels in rifle barrels is more risky than handgun barrels....
Most unfortunate all the way around. Before I got a license to carry a handgun, I never declared the weapon if asked I were armed. Saying yes would been a ticket to jail depending on the officer....
Can you set up a bench now? If so, I have a press to give you.
When I was taught double action shooting, the coach warned against "praying over" the shot--taking too long to pull the trigger. Also, he/they taught me to use area aiming instead of trying to pull...
I worked for the Texas Prison System and two sheriff's departments. I saw this behavior several times.
Dry firing before a mirror at 7 yards is helpful. When I taught shooting, I discouraged long practice sessions. They cause fatigue and can frustrate new shooters. Overthinking your hand is...
I was never pleased with it. I should have said that Clark's gunsmith might have had the same reasoning as S&W did with mine. Dan Lehr on this forum used to repair Smith revolvers. Dan Lehr
In 1971 I bought a new Model 25 in .45 ACP. Firing pin hit primer on the very edge of primer. I sent it back to Smith who said that as long as if fired, it was within spec. Two other Smith mechanics...
Hey, blues, let me hold your money for you.:cool:
If Granny is senile, she might lift it herself if she knows how. After I discovered that my father was giving away money by writing checks, I changed the account to Pop and Willie which then required...
I urge the op to consult Sig. Then share that conversation.
I have had various Colt 9mm 1911's, and all ran without issue except one had a soft ejector. The lightweight Commander makes a nifty field companion. Magazine choice matters.
In traditional turret presses the turret revolves around a central rod which is a threaded bolt capped with a big nut. When a case is pushed into a die, the turret will flex slightly. Flexing is...
No.
My sample is not large enough to make a valid generalization from it to the universe of post WW2 chambers. One can only generalize that Willie's revolver chambers posed no problems. Also, the...
I have the ability to short shuck pump guns on demand but can't make a pistol malfunction by limp wristing. I think something else is taking place in many so-called events termed limp wristing. I'm...
I had not thought of this aspect. The only thing this man deserves is a fair trial. I want to go on record as not condoning his actions.
Many folks would not be aware that moderating a forum becomes stressful and produces fatigue and burnout. Adults can act like children. Some pout, display extreme sensitivity, carry grudges, and seek...
Why don't we donate to his cause? Yes. I think he screwed up, but he but does not deserve being railroaded. Society bends over backwards to pay for defense of child molesters, rapists, and wife...
1948. I began shooting handguns and studying in the area at an early age. I seldom heard WW2 veterans say anything good about 1911's. They usually deemed them heavy and inaccurate. Bullseye shooters...
Yes indeed! Also this business is a mom and pop affair.
You can't beat the Lee Cast Turret press. I suggest the Lee automatic powder measure. With it you can expand and drop powder at the same...
I remember that Mr. Tyler's ads were sprinkled with bible verses. Back in the day, Pachmayr also made a grip adaptor. I recently gave the last ones I owned away.
