Mine is an Islander (micro brand for Long Island Watch) Northport, automatic, 200meters WR, hacking hi-beat Miyota 9015 movement. 40.5mm diameter.

I am in Illinois; on-line sellers must have a Copy of a current Illinois FOID and some want a DL as well. Address on the ID MUST match the shipping address. They won't ship to Chicago / Cook County. To buy in the local gun shop they need to run the FOID to verify is is still valid and has not...

With an IWB holster and a big maybe a horizontal Shoulder holster 3/4" off the muzzle might make a difference but I am not sure just how much. For OWB carry give me the 5" and the little bit of extra velocity. In a smaller 1911 for concealed carry and Officers model that is more compact at...

You are correct of course. My point, though badly made, is that the B-52 just keeps chugging along doing it's thing very very well. I like how it's long thin wings flap while flying and there is a computerized system to dampen it.

I love the old B-52. Here is a plane from, Well, 1952, that just keeps going. No matter how many times the Air Force tries to field a replacement, XB-70, B-36, B-57, B-58, B1A & B, B-2 nothing comes close. They just keep re-winging and re-building the old BUFF's

I'm 71 and while I gave some away to my daughter and Son-in-law I have not stopped looking. In fact I just bought my Ronin 9mm in September.

I have always favored fixed powers for my use. A good 4x (Leupold) on my .22 and on my varminter I started with a 10x Bushnell then upgraded to a 12X Leupold, When I went to a 40X-BR varmint rifle I used a 24x. Variables are very practical thou; I would use a 2-7x on a rimfire and a 4 or 5 -...

All info points to Gustav having controlled flight before the Wrighjt Bros. The only problem is that he dodn't document or promote it as well. Old_Me: Dayton has some good things there but I would rather just pass thru too.

Go to Dayton, Ohio. Kitty Hawn was were they did some testing due to an abundance of hot air blowing. (Wind) DAYTON is where they invented and developed their aircracft and based their operations.

CFM56 engine; GE Aircraft Engines and Hispano Suiza. I have experience with the manufacture of parts for both companies as well as Pratt Whitney, Rolls Royce and Hamilton Sundstrand. The OEM's are extremely diligent in the specs for their engines. It is my experience that GE is practically...

Wilson does not have springs for their 9 round magazines; only the 10 rounders. Evidently their #920 9mm 9 rnd flush magazines are the same as the Chip McCormick flush magazines except marked Wilson Combat. It is working, feeds and activates the slide stop fine so I'll just keep using it. If...

Among the few magazines I have for my 9mm Ronin I have one Wilson Combat ( # 920 flush base magazine) I notice the Wilson magazine is easier to load and it is easier to depress the follower than the Stock Springfield ones, all are 9 round mags. The Wilson was a gift and I don't know it's...

Don't you like 1911's? Or just not in 9mm? I just like them and I am willing to pay for what I like. You do have a nice selection though, In my opinion the Beretta's are the best ones on your list.

a 1911 Snob? Laughing and tongue in cheek. While .45 is the go to 1911 caliber I don't knock a 9mm like I used to. With current 9mm ammo and pistols set up to use it 9mm is a viable caliber. I wanted to get back to a 1911 platform after about 37 years away and looked at .45 but when a Ronin...

Not to good about keeping their bugger hooks off the bang switch are they. Saw lots of fingers in trigger guards and having the pistols pointed at other people

Finally made to the range to try it out ( with the 12# recoil spring) Fed and ejected flawlessly, Blaser Brass 124 FMJ s, Norma 124 FMJ and Speer Gold Dot 124 . Elevation was pretty good and hitting center to left a little. At 71 I have developed some a tiny bit of benign tremor in my hand...

This is why I prefer a PPO plan over an HMO.

Pretty much just changed the grips on mine From this To This And from Ruger's usual badly fit stock grips To This

Since getting back to 1911's and getting my Ronin I have been looking at older conversations and seeing a lot of back and forth about MIM parts. Kimber's bad because of all the MIM, ditto for RI, Springfield, Colt, Ruger. MIM, when done correctly, makes a good part. It has been used in...

Why would you think a Ronin is limited to a range toy and not Home Defense? Magazine capacity? Are you expecting to get into a firefight, a siege or an army? If you hit where you aim you shouldn't need a high capacity for HD. but you can't miss enough with extra ammo to make up for not...
