Not an XDm but I am having the rear sight on my Ronin switched to a Wilson Battlesight. For my use and eyes I believe the .145 wide slot will work out better for me. SA is doing the remove and replace and it will stay with the stock front fiber optic unless a higher front is needed to zero...

A lot of those older bullets are as good as they ever were but were discontinued due to newer designs. I still have one sealed box of these. Nosler Zipedo solid base .22 bullets. I never got around to trying them but I did use a LOT of their later .22 Solid Base boattails. The Zipedo's were...

A few avoided destruction and are still around. There are more fakes or Frankenguns than real ones now I believe.

all I know is that I normally like Tipton. With 9mm though the Tipton's I tried had two issues in my 1911: after a couple of snaps they would go too deeply into the chamber and the base was too small for the extractor to reliably grab. I gave up on them.

It is good to see someone who's first suggestion is NOT to get rid of all the MIM. to quote from the article. “I build more guns on ‘Springers’ than any other. I enjoy doing it because the specs are always spot-on with no surprises. Aftermarket parts are easy to fit, and I usually never need to...

I use Challis bushings and get them and o'rings from them. I use blue locktite on the bushings but nothing on the grip screws.

It'll always be a McDonnell Douglas F-15 to me. I am biased though as a former MC-D employee

Probably my favorite airplane. Two made; one crashed and burned. I saw the surviving plane as it made it's last flight as it flew past my high school on it's way to the Air Force Museum over by Fairborne, Ohio. It had fighter escorts front, back, above and below and was a sight to see. It...

It really doesn't matter which magazine you pick as they are a mere shadow of what they once were. Mostly ads, editorials and maybe one decent article. I get the Rifleman myself but I don't belong to the NRA for the magazines. I would rather see decent quarterly magazines then monthly fluff.

Does anyone not think the Dems are not doing this on purpose knowing it'll get voted down. It's all a matter of who gats blamed. The Dems make a proposal that has things in it (poison pills) they know are non-starters but they get to say look at us, we tried to be reasonable but those mean old...

And Illinois doesn't want someone fighting back or defending themselves; Their latest is no firearms allowed on Public Conveyances, Metra bus and trains, CTA bus and trains etc. He'll be free quickly if he isn't already as the standard is No-cash bail, put an ankle monitor on and go about your...

I well remember E.R. Shaw. Shaw barrels were on many a custom rifle. There was a time when your choices for a barrel were Douglas or Shaw. Truth be known; I think most people planning a new build once more baller makers came on the scene would go with Shilen, Hart, Lilja if it was in their...

Wait a minute; You had a blow out, fired it again and had another with stock damage that SA fixed for you saying AMMO ProbleM, Then you went right back and fired more of it with the same result. Why in the world would you keep shooting that particular ammo? Kinda like burning your self than...

I second an 11 - 12 lb spring. I felt the stock 9 pounder was too light, It is my opinion that they use a 9# because a lot of people will shoot only the cheapest low powered 115 grain loads. My preference is for 124 grain S&B, Norma etc that are in the 1181 - 1200 fps range ( or 123 grain...

Pretty sure Springfield uses a 9# recoil spring and, I believe a 23# mainspring (hammer spring) in their 5" 9mm 1911's

More views of my John Culina Grips in Hawaiian Koa with tight fiddleback. They change with the angle and have an almost 3-D effect in the figure.

If it's loaded the top round may be moving forward. Otherwise ????? I tried the Wilson ETM 10 round magazines in my 9mm Ronin and it choked on them badly. Would not feed and you couldn't insert one all the way with a full 10 rounds and the slide closed. It would stop just short of latching...

Everybody and every company flying flags sure didn't last long though. back to burning them now.

Great Plane; I have seen the Strawberry Bitch many times at the Air Force Museum.
