    How Much Ammo Should I Carry?

    Well, if I had a wagon in which to carry 40 rounds of 45, I might consider throwing some of it rather than shooting it! It would be a whole lot quieter. On second thought, if I had a wagon with 40 rounds of 45, I might just ask the perp to lie down and run over hin with the wagon. How do ya keep...

    First day at the range 1911

    I must have gotten lucky! I bought a raft of military surplus magazines years ago and my two Colts have yet to burble once for a magazine fault. Of course, they only hold seven. I also purchased a couple of Wilsons a few years back with bumpers but when going concealed, I use my Colt provided...

    First day at the range 1911

    That "tit" is called the barrel link. Not meaning to be a putz but, the thingy that holds the ammunition is a magazine and not a clip. The M1 Garand has ammunition held in a clip. 45 ACP ammunition is held in full moon, half or deuce clips (i.e. a spring steel disposable device) for revolver...

    How Much Ammo Should I Carry?

    I believe there was an excellent point made above. Assuming your handgun works properly, the real question is: How many seconds will you be actively engaged before you are hit once? There will probably be a lapse of three or four seconds before you will get your mind back into the fight...

    This continues to this day... I heard it said, The primary cause of reloads is missing.

    BLUE LOCTITE?

    Sounds interesting. How resistant is it to barrel heat? I see from the data sheet it says 165 degrees F.

    BLUE LOCTITE?

    I suppose, if you didn't want to use Loctite or purchase the nice protector listed by Hans, you could just wrap the threads with Teflon tape. Besides, when the application gets up to 300 degrees F, the epoxy thread locker will soften and eventually melt.

    How Much Ammo Should I Carry?

    Well, since my last comment I have abandoned my fixed blade knife and am now carrying a spare magazine, on my belt, in a Blackhawk plastic holder. Now I have seven + six in 45 ACP. The knife was just too uncomfortable and hard to conceal. It now sits on the table next to my overstuffed TV chair...

    Do you red dot, or not?

    My vision has been "corrected" since I was in the fourth grade. My vision's adjustment was originally for distance viewing but now, at the crusty age of 67, my vision has required adjustment both far and near. I guess, should I survive another couple of decades, I may need a white cane too...

    Do you red dot, or not?

    I am waiting for SA to release the XD-E in 45 with a red dot sight. Why don't you give em a call and get them off the fence? I will get one and then get back to ya!

    BARREL LENGTH VARIATIONS IN THE .223 REMINGTON

    I have read that in the 223, a barrel of 26 inches gains velocity as it is cut down to 20 inches. Then velocity is lost is between 15 and 50 fps per inch of reduction. Velocity losses get exponentially greater from that point downward. I am a fan of the 18 inch barrel. After all, the AR and the...

    New purchase

    Mag-Na-Port does wonders with short barreled handguns. This looks like a perfect candidate. Heck, the process works wonders on most everything! i must admit a fondness for wheel guns. Its probably due to watching too many westerns as a kid.

    SAINT Victor vs. Steel-Cased Ammo: What Broke?

    You never know what will show up. You are right about corrosive Soviet block production coming from decades past. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to find some Chinese production dug out of a hole somewhere, repackaged and sold as current production. Some folks aren't as knowledgeable as you...

    1911 assembly

    Well, I actually married her twice! I know, some people aren't happy making a bad mistake just once. The 1911 experience was in round two. Thank God, He sent me my soul mate, after my own heart. We have been married now for almost 35 years. Like I said, I'm not particularly smart... but I am...

    18 Year Olds Conceal and Carry

    I was under the impression that anyone under the age of 21 was prohibited from handgun possession without "adult" supervision. Federal???
