    What size is front dovetail on Rock Island 1911

    I have a Rock Island M1911A2 Tactical. The pistol has an adjustable target rear sight. But from the factory, they install a front fiber optic sight that is too short. With the rear sight adjusted down as far as it will go, the pistol still shoots about 5-6" high at 15 yards. I'd like to get a...

    Lee reloaders...is factory crimp die necessary for 9mm?

    I'm planning on purchasing a Lee reloader to reload primarily 9mm. The question I'm facing now is whether to purchase a 3 or 4 turret model.
