    ever had this happen to you ?

    Was shooting some 9mm rds I'd loaded, not loaded w/ a max charge, or even what I'd consider a hot load. After shooting a few rds, the 1911 I was shooting wouldn't chamber the next rnd. Ejected rnd, thinking it might have a crimp issue, & attempted to chamber the next rnd in the magazine. I'd...

    a thought as we start 2026

    Found this on another site & thought it is worth sharing: My name is Linda. I’m forty-six, a long-haul truck driver, and a single mother of two. I don’t own a single suit, and the only certificates on my wall are my CDL renewals and my kids’ report cards. What I do have is twenty-three years on...

    My Tisas experience..

    I've read so many glowing reports on websites extolling the virtues of different Tisas models, though I thought I was thru buying any more firearms, ( even 1911's ) I decided to try one.

    I reserve the right to change my mind.. ( so I did )

    Another flashback from the past.

    I've been buying powder in larger quantities for many years. Discovered the economy of bulk buying, as well the the security of having a lot of powder from the same Lot..so no concerns with lot-to-lot variability. I'll buy a 1# container of a powder, to give it a try & see how well it works. I...

I recall gas checks were used so one could load cast bullets to greater velocities than a cast bullet would normally be loaded, w/o having leading issues in the rifling. These g/c pills were given to me, many...
