Now that makes sense. For some reason I thought that they (at least the SA-35) were made in house like the 1911's. I should have thought of that.

It was in the title. SA lists 1/16 in their 9mm 1911, For both 9mm and .45, They list 1/10 in the SA-35 and other 9mm autos. Why 16 in the 9mm and not the SA-35, Echelon etc. Wilson and Ed Brown also show 1/16 for their 9mm barrels (and .45's) It just seems odd that SA would use two...

I was just looking at the various SA offerings again and I noticed that SA lists a 1/10 rifling twist in the SA-35, Hellcat, Echelon etc BUT lists a 1/16 rifling twist for their 1911's. Any ideas why they are using a different twist in the 1911's that the SA-35 and others? I did send them a...

Those are nice. I used a Win 69 for a short time then a Win 72A for a longer time. Next came a 10/22 that got traded off and finally; the last .22 rifle I had was a Kimber of Oregon S-Series supergrade. That one got too valuable to shoot and went to a collector. My present .22 rimfires are a...

Why is there a 3 oz weight difference between a Ronin and a Garrison? Both full size 9mm; The Ronin lists at 41 oz while the Garrison lists at 38 oz. Both forged steel frame, slide and barrel. about the only big differences I see are the sights (Tac Rack and FO vs Novak 3 dot) and the...

Try calling them; if it hasn't been processed / shipped they may let you add it. Have your order no ready.

I received a pre-cut strip from a member of another forum. I trimmed slightly to stay away from the edge and put it on after an alcohol wipe down. Not a perfect job but good enough. I have changed my mind about grit tape on the front strap. It works, looks OK, is very functional AND the...

Folding, I have a variety of Traditional ones mostly Great eastern Cutlery, Pen, Jack, Lambsfoot that I rotate. I also always have a small Alox handle swiss army knife in my pocket.

I think you heard wrong. The Security / Service, Speed Six can have a very nice trigger pull. Mine is very good and totally factory. I do think that as a whole the S&W has a better average action on them. I like the S&W action better than a Colt's (but that is me) The GP-100 and SP-101 I am...

I am partial to the old Speed Six. This one is a .38 Special

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

"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.

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...

I like the Mustang but preferred the F4-U and the Douglas AD series SkyRaider

That looks good.

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...

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 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...

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?
