    9mm Range ammo?

    124 Gr is all I use. I have found it to be the best all around weight.

    Canadian apparently corrupted by America!

    "CBSA also said multiple firearms had duplicate serial numbers." ??? Duplicate or the same except for unique prefix or suffixes? If different models or manufacturers this could be possible with slight variations. Afterall some manufacturere have subscriptions.

    9mm Range ammo?

    I don't see much call to use heavier bullets as range ammo. 147 gr seems to me to be a specialized weight developed for sub-sonic results to still get adequate penetration. If you also carry your 9mm I suggest you practice with the same weight as your carry ammo. If it is pretty much range...

    add on checkered frontstrap - Wilson

    I was leaning toward the Wilson metal strip but see there are mixed reviews and when I found they were aluminum and not stainless I am thinking it's not for me. That leaves Grip tape. What are your preferences in regard to the tape? I only have the one 1911 and don't need a large roll. Are...

    Refinishing alloys?

    Plating would get expensive. A good cheap answer would be BBQ Grill paint as it or another hi temp paint would hold up pretty well. Flat Black would be a good choice and a spray can would not cost much.

    Likely Zamak which is a zinc, Copper, Magnesium and Aluminum. Paint / cerakote if your best option.

    I Must Be the Only One

    I never had an urge to get an AR; My tastes ran more to super accurate long range varmint rifles. The last one I has was a superb Remington 40XB-BR in cal .22 BR. Canjar LP trigger set to 4 ounces and a Leupold scope boosted to 24x by Wally Seibert. That thing was wickedly accurate and was a...

    add on checkered frontstrap - Wilson

    Thank you for the info; I saw that. I am a little on the cheap side and if I wait until I am making an order to Wilson anyway it'll only cost $10. I am in no hurry at all so why spend an extra $6?

    add on checkered frontstrap - Wilson

    I am planning on trying one; I'm just waiting until I either place another order with Wilson, I get to a gunshow where someone has them or or a stainless one comes up for sale cheap. I am in no hurry. I would rather try one of these before going the checkering route as it's reversible. I just...

    5.7 PITA!

    My Brother-in-Law has an FN that works perfectly; I'm sure S&W could sort it out for you. Call them and they'll probably send a return label.

    The Pink Panther

    Being There was strange and different. Strangelove was great; Sellers played what; three roles in it, the President, the ex Nazi bureaucrat in the wheelchair and the British officer. I liked Slim Pickens and Major Kong the best though

    Magazine release lock

    A couple of questions again; this time about the magazine release lock. one; On my Ronin ( an early Ronin Operator 5" ) the release lock is blued. On most photos I see they are stainless. Does this mean mine was changed in it's past or does it just reflect what was in the parts bin when it...

    buying ammo online, i gotta prove..........

    I am in Illinois; on-line sellers must have a Copy of a current Illinois FOID and some want a DL as well. Address on the ID MUST match the shipping address. They won't ship to Chicago / Cook County. To buy in the local gun shop they need to run the FOID to verify is is still valid and has not...
