10 minimum. But depending on the gun this can get expensive, very expensive. Glock 17 rounders are available at $10ea at GSSF matches. If you’re a competitor it means less reloading during the match. The ultimate goal would not have to load mags during a match. And no I’m not quite there...

For many of the models there are rack assist rear plates. Adds to the profile but can be a big help.

I'm with 2ndtimer. They all have very long shelf life so no worries. Buy all you can afford and then some.

The some of the older manuals said a magnum primer was required. I've followed that advice and never regretted it. My favorite fireball is the one from my TC .357Max using a full power load of H110. What's unique about the picture is that the fireball is in the full sunlight and still quite...

Looks like a seating die, but I can't see what's on the inside looking from the bottom up

And you're not getting all three because?

Speed is the reason to shoot DA, accuracy SA. in NRA/CMP action pistol DA is required. In most other pistol sports it’s your choice. my IDPA, USPSA and Steel Challenge guns don’t have a hammer spur so SA isn’t safe to do anyway. For ICORE I like to have the option because sometimes the stage...

I decided on the Ruger PC9 because of the plethora of aftermarket parts and that it takes Glock mags. First time out I classified B class in steel challenge iron sights with it. Keeper.

I bought a Mosin Nagant for $90 not too many years ago. It was so cheap I cut it down to 18" barrel and sporterrize the stock. Even then someone bought it for $300 recently. The gun store owner told me he'd just sold a whole case to one customer who was going to put a plexiglass top on it...

Could this become, if the BATF was so inclined, a jurisdictional issue? Unless the laws apply to all business equally then the state has no authority to dictate how Federal licenses conduct their business.

Perhaps I should have said, "slug your barrel." I guess I threw out the word bore as a generic word, sorry about that. However, I'd guess many (most?) of us will never slug the barrel be it the bore or the throat or... We can, which is what I did, experiment with different diameters and see...

Many of the 9mm revolvers use moon clips so you can reload with a roll crimp if you like. Just understand that they probably will seat too far in the chamber in semi-autos or in revolvers without using moon clips. And it might be a good time to remind that SAMMI specs on 9mm Luger and...

I haven't seen how low I can go with 9mm in my revolver yet. I'm only down to 3gr of TiteGroup under 147gr plated bullet. Actually in both PPC and Bullseye competition the rules do state exactly that. The bullet must pass all the way through the target and backer.

"Easily" is subjective and would be impossible to draw the line. Imagine trying to codify this in a regulation? If this case is found for Chicago, then what semi-auto manufacturer couldn't be found liable even if there aren't any "switches" for their model. Any gun whose action is easy to...

A Custom Master package obviously is backed up, while I think basic repair is a faster pipeline. Rebarreled a plain 686 last year and it took about 3 weeks door-to-door. Looking forward to hearing how it turned out aaaaa.
