    Flush 9mm 1911 magazine recommendations

    I looked at the Ed Brown but I went with another Wilson 920 magazine. The Ed Brown trade in is attractive but doesn't seem especially cost effective for only one magazine. At $10 + $14.95 postage + Postage to send old one to them ( 30 - 35 ) If I accumulate a few more bad ones I'll likely...

    Flush 9mm 1911 magazine recommendations

    I want to get 1, maybe two more magazines for my Springer Ronin. I currently have two 9 round SA stock mags with the base pad and one Wilson 920 flush 9 round magazine. I like the flush magazine for carry and looks. I am considering another Wilson 920 ( same as a McCormick flush base magazine)...

    Ronin 5" 9mm

    I finally got around to doing something with the rear sight dots. The original paint was yellowed and dull and since I like black rear sights I re-did them. I used a small drill bit turned by hand to remove the old paint, cleaned with alcohol and using a toothpick and paint from my old black...

    Choked a little today....

    You need to know what to look for. Those have been faked, reproduced etc. I have a friend that collects Carbines and according to him assume it is fake until proven otherwise.

    Shoulder Holsters for Concealed Carry: Boom or Burden?

    Shoulder Holsters have their place, It is excellent under a coat when driving, especially for long trips. There are other times it is a good choice but a waist holster either OWB or IWB is usually the better more comfortable choice.

    Why two rifling twists in SA 9mm's?

    while the Echelon etc are made in Croatia, the SA-35 is listed as made in USA and still has a 1/10 twist. I believe the SA-35 parts are obtained semi finished from Turkey and finish machined and assembled in Genesco, IL. I am assuming the barrels are semi finished and already rifled when they...

    Why two rifling twists in SA 9mm's?

    Now that makes sense. For some reason I thought that they (at least the SA-35) were made in house like the 1911's. I should have thought of that.

    Why two rifling twists in SA 9mm's?

    It was in the title. SA lists 1/16 in their 9mm 1911, For both 9mm and .45, They list 1/10 in the SA-35 and other 9mm autos. Why 16 in the 9mm and not the SA-35, Echelon etc. Wilson and Ed Brown also show 1/16 for their 9mm barrels (and .45's) It just seems odd that SA would use two...

    Why two rifling twists in SA 9mm's?

    I was just looking at the various SA offerings again and I noticed that SA lists a 1/10 rifling twist in the SA-35, Hellcat, Echelon etc BUT lists a 1/16 rifling twist for their 1911's. Any ideas why they are using a different twist in the 1911's that the SA-35 and others? I did send them a...

    My .22lr arsenal grows

    Those are nice. I used a Win 69 for a short time then a Win 72A for a longer time. Next came a 10/22 that got traded off and finally; the last .22 rifle I had was a Kimber of Oregon S-Series supergrade. That one got too valuable to shoot and went to a collector. My present .22 rimfires are a...

    add on checkered frontstrap - Wilson

    I received a pre-cut strip from a member of another forum. I trimmed slightly to stay away from the edge and put it on after an alcohol wipe down. Not a perfect job but good enough. I have changed my mind about grit tape on the front strap. It works, looks OK, is very functional AND the...
