I finally picked up my Sig P229 SAS Gen II in 357 today. I've had it on order since January, and today I got the call. So, there is hope for some of you like Uncle Malice, that are still waiting for your Sigs. I'm looking forward to getting to the range with it, but that be a couple of days...

I'm waiting on my P229 SAS to get in so I haven't started loading yet. I've been doing alot of research, but I was just curious about some of your findings. I got both 40, and 357 dies in from Lee, and I also got the factory crimp die. I picked up 1,000 once fired Speer brass, got some 125 gn...

Do you shoot with the 357 sig round? If so, what handgun are you shooting it with? I'm not interested in getting a 40, and changing out barrels. My requirements are compact size (not sub compact), night sights, DA/SA or SAO, or Striker fired. I don't much care for the Glocks. I'm wanting to...

Ok, some of you know that I've been kicking around some ideas for a new handgun. I changed my mind again. I wanted something compact, but not sub compact. I prefer the .45 acp, but I've got a few already. I like 9mm's, but I prefer something a little bigger. So, I'm back to the .40 S&W, or...

I'm in the market for a semi auto shotgun. I'm going to be using it for 3 gun competitions, so I'm looking for something that fast, and manageable. There's a fellow here at work that has a Remington 1187 that's suppose to be practically new. He going to bring it in tomorrow, and he's asking...

I posted a thread a while back about quality handguns, and now I've narrowed it down. I know all about "buy what feels the best", but I'm running out of options, and there only so many handguns that I can handle. The gun shops around here don't stock everything. I'm really thinking about the...

What is the most well built gun that you own, or have owned. I'm looking for currently produced guns, not the 20 year old 1911 that you have. EDIT: The statement about the 1911 is an example. I love 1911's. What I was trying to say, was that I didn't want to hear about the best gun being...

I have some 230gn LRN, "Softballs" from Missouri Bullet, and these bullets like it a little hotter so there's less leading. Lead loading people will know what I talking about here, but that's another topic. **Let's just call Universal, Universal in this thread since I'm also using Clays** I...

Ok, this time I did a search first, and didn't find anything. I am going to be helping out a friend with his Ruger P94. He wants the trigger pull smoothed out. I've done trigger work on all kinds of semi auto's including the dreaded Sigma. I'm sure some of you guys have done some work on the...

I worked on a friends Sigma, and reduced the trigger weight, so he gave me a deal on some Pakistani Ordanance 9mm ammo. POF's website states the their 2Z 9mm ammo made in 1987 as going 395 meters per second. That's 1296 fps, and that seems pretty hot, so I did a little research. Some guys...

Anyone ever done a trigger job on a Smith and Wesson Sigma 9mm SW9VE? I've got a friend who picked one of these up, and the trigger is awful, I mean it's really bad. He got it for his daughter, and the trigger needs to be lighter, smoother, but still be safe. I'd like to do it for him, as the...

How do you take apart a RCBS powder thrower ? I picked up mine used, and I don't even know which model it is. I've had it for about 10 years, and I've noticed a little inconsistancy lately. I was wanting to take it apart, but I've never really looked at it like that. I was also wondering about...

I know there are better powders out there, but this is the only affordable powder availabe in my area. I was wanting to hear from some of you about the kind of results you've had with 2230 combined with 62gn, and 69gn projectiles. I don't have access to a chronograph, nor do I have the money...

I was just wondering. I've run across a bunch of old bullets, and the lead was all discolored. I've just started loading lead, but I've been hand loading for years. I've heard that Lead bullets shrink with time, is that true? What's with the lead projectile turning white? Is that just the...

With all of the negative talk going on about Sig Sauer handguns, I'd like to take a poll, and see what's really going on here. Do you actually own a SIG handgun, and are you happy with it? Please let us know what the problem is/was if your not happy with your SIG. I just want to hear the...

I obtained a can of Bulleye Powder, and when I say can, I mean can. My brother picked it up at a Garage Sale, and I got it from him. It's the old Hercules can. I took the powder out, and put it in a new canister that was empty. I loaded 200 rnds a couple of years ago, 4.9gns over a 230 gn...

I've been loading for about 7 years, and I've always loaded (.45acp) with plated, or jacketed bullets. I'm considering loading with lead, and I've heard good things about Missour Bullet Company. Their local, and have a good reputation. Here's my question. What do I need to know about loading...

I've always been an AR15 fan, and I've competed in some 3 gun matches. Lately I just don't have the money or time to compete anymore, so Sunday I got together with some friends for some long range shooting. Both of my friends had their bolt action .308's with 24" barrels and hand loads. I...

Ok people, I need some advice or opinions. I just got a SIG P220 SAO, and I'm a lefty. I'm thinking that I want something OWB, and leather. I want a holster that will cover the muzzle. This is a gun that I may carry in the winter, but never in the summer. I live in the Kansas City, Missouri...

Well, some of you know that I've been thinking about getting a new .45. I was thinking about a Ruger P90, or 345. I was also strongly considering getting a "Classic American II" 1911, and I thought I had made my mind up on one of those. Well, today at work I was surfing the internet and...
