    135gr 40S&W Frangible Bullets (Sinterfire) - First Shots

    My first trial loads for these bullets with Universal proved interesting. I started with the load for 125gr bullets and stepped down. 4.3gr to 4.6gr at 1.140” shot well, but none of them cycled my Springfield EMP 3”, though the 4.6gr load came close. This time I increased the ladder, starting...

    911 vs. Hellcat

    I’m fairly new to striker fired guns. They aren’t the hateful guns I thought they’d be. Nonetheless, having had the experience, I’ll be sticking with my hammer-fired guns, except for my Taurus G2C. I’d feel differently if all firearms had re-strike capability. It may be a sign of these panic...

    135gr 40S&W Frangible Bullets (Sinterfire) - First Shots

    Appears I never posted about my (score)...2000 bullets, 135gr Frangible Sinterfire bullets, 1/2 price at Midway USA. All initial testing done with inert (Dummy) rounds to check feeding, magazine loading, and ability to take apart via impact puller. Due to the break potential of frangible bullets...

    Springfield M968 Limited Edition 1911

    Nice purchase. As to what it's worth...you tell us. It's a market, and what one is willing to pay that a seller is willing to accept sets the price.

    Bought a brand new Hellcat today but how do I know what version/generation/year or series?

    My wife, and now my female friend love it. They leave the problems to me. So here's the question. Does your slide stop spring leg drop out of the frame? According to feedback from other forums, mine was the only one doing this...and now I am batting 3 of 3 for 911s I've field stripped. I'll have...

    Bought a brand new Hellcat today but how do I know what version/generation/year or series?

    It was nearly a month before I could shoot my first 911. No 2nd or 3rd hand story. Mine. As with all new handguns, I cleared it through my FFL, took it home for a thorough cleaning and manual read. I bought it for my wife, so within the week I took her to the range with multiple brands of ball...

    Obtained Large Cache of Small Pistol Primers

    Sometimes they just appear. The only Vihtavuori stocking dealer in the area had no N320, I asked them to add 4lb jugs to their order, but they told me the warehouse pretty much sends what they want based on prior sales. Anyway, they called and let me know N320 came in, but only 1lb bottles. I...

    Obtained Large Cache of Small Pistol Primers

    I pretty much purged my small pistol primers to all CCI, then I started having sporadic light primer strikes and failures to ignite, all seemingly tied to striker fired pistols. I’ve enjoyed decades of shooting enjoyment...why on earth did I add striker fired semis to my arsenal. Anyway, that’s...

    Obtained Large Cache of Small Pistol Primers

    I haven't been able to get any of the Sportsman's Warehouse primers, which have been on sale for about that price. But my final cost from Locked & Loaded was $34.53/brick after taxes. They gave me 10% off as a veteran. Last month I paid an average $41.87/brick for Federal SP Match and Federal SP...

    Obtained Large Cache of Small Pistol Primers

    No, I took a sampling of each brand I was interested in. Even with no minimums I wouldn't do that. In fact, my aim was much smaller, but my wife kept telling me to get more. As I finished checking out, she brought 2 more bricks over. Nonetheless, they had much more than I bought...but I did...

    Obtained Large Cache of Small Pistol Primers

    I woke up this morning, scrolled through Facebook and saw a post “SMALL PISTOL PRIMERS BACK IN STOCK!!!!!!!!!” Thought they were probably sold out by now. Called, grabbed my wife and granddaughter and lit out. Would you believe...no limit...and...they gave me a veteran’s discount without me...

    5 Guns We Hope Springfield Armory Makes! The Wish List

    Absolutely agree with 4 & 5. Love my 300 Blk pistols, would love a PDW in 300 Blk. Add the breakdown features and I’ll be all over that.

    Not Ideal, But Ordered Some 38 Super Bullets

    I am not necessarily desperate, but indications are that I will be if there’s no improvement in product availability, so as **** Jagger sang, You can’t always get what you want! I ordered 1000 bullets, 38 Super, 121gr JHP .356” diameter. I’m guessing if I can load Berry’s plated, which are .356”...

    Love my new 1911 EMP 4 bi-tone ccc

    I’m assuming you have this in 9mm? I have the original EMP in 40S&W, love it as well, but would really like an EMP in 9mm. I shoot a lot more 9mm than 40 S&W, but for now, my Hellcat will have to satisfy my Springfield Armory 9mm passion. Maybe Christmas?

    Springfield Hellcat Review: Best CCW 9mm Ever

    Sell your Hellcat and move on. If you are that inept at firing a pistol then you shouldn’t even attempt to do so. This was not a problem in anyone’s mind until one tuber made a video showing how improper trigger discipline with a firearm with a trigger safety rendered the firearm inoperable...

    Definitive Answer on 45ACP Primer Size

    Lucky for me I've only used half of the 1000 new GBW cases I bought from MidSouth 2 years ago. I don't see a lot of reason to use it all up as I'm just plinking. It's all LP, so I think I can avoid the SP issue for some time. And since the majority of what I shoot is 380ACP and 9mm, my 45 brass...

    Gouging

    Late to the party, but let me add this...nearly everyone on the page agrees that the asking price is outrageous. A person can list a product for sale at literally, “any price they want”. That doesn’t mean that a sale must take place at that price. It requires more than someone overpricing a gun...

    Reloading cost vs. factory bought, handgun and rifle

    The great thing is it’s an investment that pays dividends..the best kind. Diversion, entertainment, education, discipline, quality ammo, and so on. In addition, used gear nearly always finds a new home to continue paying those dividends. Most gear, proper use and care, will last multiple...
