    Other Way ‘Round

    Early days of IDPA, I was looking at alternative clipguns for SSR.
    Smith .38 Super or .40 maybe, but I was leaning toward putting a 9mm cylinder in a Security Six.
    But they changed the Division...

    A friend who 1. lives in Florida and 2. teaches Yoga confirms that iguanas are real pests, although not intruding on her sessions... yet.
    They are also legal vermin and may be shot without limit.

    For We Shooters, 100,000 metric tons (close to the long ton used for ships) at 7.5 knots (about a billion and a half grains at 12.7 fps) is 552,835,172 ft lb of "muzzle energy." Obviously enough...

    I just lately saw that the ship was outbound, half an hour from port to bridge strike. For some reason I thought it was inbound from points abroad.

    I have shot a good many Bayou bullets. Brazos has the same 124 gr mould and Hi Tek coating, I cannot tell a difference shooting. I plan on going back to 147s when I order again.

    I saw one the other day. I did not know the owner well enough to ask to shoot it but it feels odd in the hand. Very boxy and the standard grip texture isn't very grippy.

    Right. When IDPA began allowing the loaded chamber reload, I wanted to add the thick base to my XPs for an easier push on the reload, and they no longer listed them. So I asked. The rep replied...

    I am not shooting enough .45s to have a handle on durability of Power Mags. I think the RPM is the way to go if the OP can put up with the wide base and need of a loader for the stiff spring.

    Just shoot it.
    The internet would have you believe that it is standard practice to buy a gun - especially a 1911 - and immediately start throwing parts away. The Silent Majority doesn't do that.

    Safety, No Safety, Safety Ignored?

    I was looking at a new hideout gun, the Shield Plus .30 can be had lots cheaper than 9mm and holds twice the ammo of my present PRs. But the sale item has a manual safety.

    At present I may be...

    They were commonly seen in CAS. If I were still in CAS, I would sure use one to recover .44-40; don't know about 9mm. Maybe .45.
