For a relatively inexpensive and common, soft-shooting .45 load I've been using WWB 185 gr FMJ (USA45A) for years. It's accurate out of my Glock 30 and Kimber 1911.

A couple come to mind - I wanted a Ruger LCR since they first came out and rented one before I bought it. Kept it just about one month - too big for my pockets and too painful to shoot regardless of...
Back in the early to mid 80s I saw a three inch Python at my LGS. Had a price tag north of $500. That was a crazy price and too rich for me!!! (Audible sigh...)
Tried to like NATO straps but just couldn't. Here's where I get single pass straps - https://cnswatchbands.com/collections/adjustable-single-pass-straps
Nice work, RJ! Just checked the numbers on my (subjectively) best-fitting handgun and came up with 93.3%!
I can't help with the 30S but I've had a Gen 3 G30SF for about ten years. After a short (two magazines) break in, it's run flawlessly and has just under 5000 rounds through it with maybe 1000 rounds...
An easy way to do this is first find the relationship between the distance you're dry firing and the distance you wish to simulate. For example, if you're dry firing at 20 feet and want to simulate...
There are a couple ways I'd approach this. I'd simplify 66% to two thirds (2/3) first. Then you could set up a proportion, comparing equal ratios. So 2:3 :: 10:x or two is to three as ten is to x....
Target Sports has Federal 147gr in stock. https://www.targetsportsusa.com/federal-hst-law-enforcement-9mm-luger-ammo-147-grain-jacketed-hollow-point-p9hst2-p-3547.aspx
I view the Gen 5 in an evolutionary way as an attempt to please most users and displease as few as possible. I thought I preferred the finger grooves until I shot a Gen 5 17. The grip felt better...
I was where you are now back in 2010. My biopsy proved positive and I chose radiation treatment over surgery. I was teaching at the time and had my treatments over the summer; didn't miss a day at...
"Germans?" "Forget it, he's rollin."
Heart-warming indeed. Thanks for posting this.
I believe it was on this forum that I read "popular guns are popular for a reason." (Did this quote come from Mr Green?) When I began to carry on a regular basis, I tried 5 different guns in 3...
Midway has Blazer brass 147 gr 9mm for $380/ 1000 rounds. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1021551434
Go ahead and "click" on the ammo you're interested in. It will say when SG expects it to arrive. In the case of that Federal 147gr 9mm, it has an expected date around the end of October (the 26th...
Back in the late '80s, having never owned (or even shot) a 1911, I began to think about getting one. My cool friends had them and I wanted one too. The reputation of the .45 ACPs recoil was a bit...
It seems a bit forward to me if someone asked to shoot one of your guns. OTOH, if someone is curious about what I'm shooting, I'll generally offer to let them put a few rounds down range. Many...
The older 147 gr is in a smaller box than the newer stuff. I don't have any of the new stuff for comparison, but I just measured a box of the old ammo and it came out to 5.1 inches long.
We probably haven't been in 25 years, but I'd catch a ferry and spend a day in Victoria. My better half and I thoroughly enjoyed Butchart Gardens and then Afternoon Tea at the Empress Hotel.
[QUOTE=Darth_Uno;887054]I had to take the next day off work. I wasn’t in the right emotional state to come in.
I know just how you feel - I was that way for days back in '86 when Calgary...
As someone who is indifferent towards Boston but loathes St Louis, I found last night's game to be most enjoyable.
I have a pair in three or four rooms in the house, keep a pair in the car and in the range bag. But these are what I use most often ...
[QUOTE=Rich_Jenkins;844454]So I need a good Malbec, $10-$15 or so.
For a Malbec, my bride and I like Pascual Toso. Here in north Texas we can find it for around $10 at the Central Market (HEB). ...
