I have read many of the threads on this Forum and others that knock Stonewall bullets. I have come to several conclusions. The first is most folks either can't shoot or their guns are pure junk. I suspect it is the first rather than the later.
The second conclusion is Stonewall bullets are very...
The price of lead is now under .80 per lb. This is down over $1.00 per lb from it's high. Lead inventories are at a very high level. It is time to start putting pressure on the bullet manufacturers to start dropping their prices. If we don't nothing will happen.
Steel City Sports Shooting Association will once again host the 2006 Alabama IDPA State Championship Match on April 8th. Info on the IDPA website. Bring at least 200 rounds.
Boy have I stired up the pot since I recently started posting on this forum again. I appear to have gotten some folks pretty upset. That was never my intent. I am not new to this forum. I first joined in Oct. of 1999.
I have refuted some long standing beliefs about Glocks in general. What I have...
I saw first hand Saturday the plating separatimg from the lead core with 9mm Berry Bullets. One of my friends was shooting their 147 gr bullet in his Glock 34. His load goes about 875 fps. I have always considered Berry to be a step below Rainier and West Coast in quality.
Just got a set of these yesterday. I think they will become my new favorite muff. Very comfortable. I little heavier than their Pro-Amp. They do not appear to clip like the Pro-Amp and Peltors. It has been raining so have not had a chance to test outdoors. Price is a less than Pro-Ears...
Picked up one at the gun show today. Everything looks good so far. Took a few minutes to improve the trigger pull. Will see how it shoots in a day or two. Looked at a Para-Ord. Limited that was about the same price, but did not like the fat grip.
Has anyone fired one of these? What is the trigger pull like? I sometimes shoot a Browning HP in IDPA ESP,but don't really like the long trigger travel.
Has anyone seen a modern test of this bullet loaded backwards? Years ago I seated some of these backwards for carry in my model 36. They expanded well in wet phone books and water. I have not seen any tests in gel though. Is there any load that expands reliably out of a 2" model 36? I currently...
How well does the 9mm function in a 1911? I understand that 9x23 and 38 Supers function OK. Does a ramped barrel offer any advantage over a non-ramped one in feeding the 9mm? With a 124 gr.FMJ I don't think I can get the OAL much more than 1.180".
I have just started building a 1911 and once it is completed would like a tenifer finish on it. Is there anyone that can apply this finish? If not what is a good tough alternative? I prefer a dark color like blue, black or dark gray.
