    Help me with a firing pin stop, 1911

    I have my buddy's Springer GI 1911 on long term loan. Decent gun for the price, but it's always been plagued by extraction/ejection and feed issues, often with spent brass trapped under the extractor hook. You can see the extractor is twisting in it's hole, and it's easily moved by hand. It...

    Anyone else have trouble with Tula SP primers?

    I grabbed 2,000 Tula SPPs a few weeks ago because they were there. (Saving my stash of CCI and Federal until I can buy more.) Had a few failures to ignite today in my unmodified GP100. They were seated with an RCBS Ram prime and gauged with a dial indicator to .003" below flush in my Winchester...

I have Hornady 140 LFP .357 data and plenty of other .38 special data, but nothing specific for the Hornady 140 LFP in .38 special brass. I'm pretty sure I'm going with 4.0 grains of...

    .358" 170 grain Keith SWC in a GP100?

    Wondering if anyone has tried that combination? I plan on buying some commercial bullets to see what my gun likes before I commit to a mould, and would like to know if the Keith 170 SWC works OK in a GP100 or is the nose too long? Looking at the Lyman 358429 mould, seems to be the same as what...

    Do XD's have the same rear sight dovetail as Glock?

    Was wondering if XD's and Glocks share the same rear sight dovetail dimensions. I seem to remember that they do from a magazine article a few years back. I'm looking for a new service pistol size 9mm, and was going to put a Trijicon RMR sight on it. Not for self defense, just as a range/fun gun...
