I bought a Kimber Ultra Carry II new in November. I probably have 1500-1800 rounds through it. I had it apart for cleaning tonight and noticed a crack in the frame right in front of where the slide stop lever hole is. After I saw the crack I googled it and it seems to not be an uncommon...

I've been using range brass to reload .45 ACP. This morning I was loading and had some .45 ACP cases that had previously been roll crimped and I kept on truckin' and loaded them as I do the rest with a Lee FCD to finish them. This last batch I loaded I loaded hotter than the 4.9 grains of 231...

How much less recoil would a .380 ACP pistol have than a 9mm pistol if fired from similar pistols? My gf likes going to the range with me but is still scared to shoot my guns even though I'm right there with her. She says my instruction helps her but halfway into a magazine her hands are...
