Alright, what size constitutes "large" hands? Shooters always mention when talking about comfortable grips whether they have small, large, or medium size hands or paws or whatever. And are we talking overall length of your hand (end of wrist to tip of middle finger) or are we talking girth...

Do any of you use RCBS or Lee (or whatever) carbide dies in your 550 instead of the Dillon dies? I noticed that Dillon's 3-die set run about $50, whereas the RCBS carbide 3-die sets go for about $30. Hey, if I can save $20 per caliber, and get the same quality, why not?

First off, I'd like to say that reloading has opened a whole new world of opportunities and excitement to my favorite hobby! I wish I would have started a whole lot sooner! So I hope all of you don't mind if I ask a WHOLE bunch of questions for the next few weeks. Here's my dilemma: Going off...

Just how accurate is the powder measure on the Dillon 550? I set mine to deliver 8.9 grains of Hodgdon HS-6. I dumped several charges and weighed each of them. I was getting readings as low as 8.7 and as high as 9.1. Is the margin of error about + or -.2 grains on these measures or is...

Well, after much gnashing of teeth, I finally got my 550 up and running. Using new IMI Match brass, Winchester large pistol primers, and some no name 230 gr "TCJ" bullets, I loaded 30 test rounds of .45acp. I took the calipers to the rounds, and everything seemed to be within specs. OAL-...

Greetings. I finally (after knowing for years that I SHOULD buy one), nutted up and bought a 550B. I got alot of the necessary accessories (CV-500 tumbler, electronic scale, sturdy work bench, and calipers). I have the dies and caliber conversion for .45ACP. I have the money to buy one more...

I've been putting off telling this to the forum, but I'm going to share my experience with all of you now. A month ago, my wife and I were out plinking with our 9mm handguns. We were shooting the reloaded stuff that you can buy at gunshows. I don't know if the company is called "Miwall" or...

Have any of you ever tried using a 19 barrel in a 26, a 23 barrel in a 27, etc? If you have, did you notice anything? Better accuracy? Different balance? Reliable feeding? I'm not really asking for a specific reason. I'm just bored and curious.

I've been waiting for the last couple of weeks on my main CCW gun (HK P7M8), that is at Metalife awaiting a hard chrome plating. I felt rather naked without it, and my next smallest MAJOR caliber pistol is a SIG 229, which is a little big/uncomfortable for my mode of dress at work. So I went...

Greetings. My good friend carries for CCW a G26 w/Trijicons, Pearce extended floorplates, all in a Galco Royal Guard. Anyway, he has the Pearce extensions on both carry mags. He got them at Glockmeister (we live in metro Phoenix near the shop). One of them is the standard with the indentation...

Afternoon, ladies and gents, How would you compare the 1) corrosion resistance and 2) the durability, toughness, etc, abilities of tennifer and hardchrome? Just curious what y'all thought.

Now that the "taboo" subject of suppressors is being discussed on this forum, I have a couple of questions/surveys for those with FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE: 1) Who do you think makes the quietest 9mm suppressor for the 92 FS? AWC's Abraxas? Dater's Gemtech Vortex-9? Any others? 2) Which...

Have any of you either been in a situation or know of a documented shooting in which either: 1) Mag changes or speed loader recharges were required because of an extended shootout or 2) A high capacity magazine made the difference in saving the good guy's bacon? I ask because often times...

I'm shopping around for the best all-around 9mm suppressor on the market. It would most likely be used on a Beretta 92, but I suppose I could mount it on a HK P7M8 if that route is more effective (and I can find an extended threaded barrel for it). 1) For those of you...

First of all, I'd like to say thanks to those that answered my question about the South African 9mm ammo. I have a blued 4" 22/45 that is bar-none the most reliable rimfire pistol I've ever owned. That being said, I have recurring rust problems, particularly in the hammer/hammer strut and...

PMP, Denel, whatever the stuff that comes in the blue box... Of those of you that have tried it, do you also find that it is a little underpowered? It was barely ejecting out of my Witness, however, I did put a heavier Wolff spring in it. I wanted to do a side by side comparison, with the...

I was reading Tom B's post earlier about the "ugly" Glock 30, and it got me thinking. I think that Glocks are the Anna Kournikova's of the pistol world. Everybody goes ga-ga over the Russian tennis player...WHEN SHE'S ON THE TENNIS COURT. Think about it. On the tennis court, she's the hottest...

I know that got denfoote's attention! :) A couple of quick questions: 1) Does the P99 have some sort of finish similar to Glock's Tennifer? 2) A dealer told me that the Walther is imported by three separate entities: Carl Walther, Interarms, or Earl's. The stamping on the gun will...
