I've been asked the same thing at Walmart in NH a couple times. I believe federal law requires you to be 18 to purchase rifle ammo and 21 for pistol. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/licensees-conduct-of-business.html#age-requirements

Poor ejection is generally caused by ammo that is too weak, a recoil spring that is too heavy or an ejector with the in correct geometry. Call Glock and ask them to send you a new recoil spring assembly and ejector. That should solve your problems.

The PT1911 has a pretty bad reputation for reliability in the 45ACP model. 1911's in 9mm are finicky. Put those two together and I'd shy away unless you are really, really set on a cheap 9mm 1911 and don't mind if it is < 85% reliable. I'd recommend mags by Metalform ("Springfield" model)...

Isn't the whole point of guns shows to stock up on beef jerky and crappy holsters?

5.0gr of TG under a 90gr Sinterfire Frangible gets me an avg of 1428fps out of my G34. ;)

Wow, I have been waiting for the Gen4 G26 to come out. Now my decision will be a more difficult. I can't wait to hear the range report. xr - I think it all depends on your definition of "match". XD's have always had pretty tight chambers, at least mine have. Glock barrels tend to be looser...

http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=40143/Product/_3174_HOW_TO_MAKE_FLAT_AND_COIL_SPRINGS There you go. Buy some different gauge wire and have fun. If your smith is competent enough to SAFELY rechamber a barrel, modify the feed ramp , magazines, etc. making a spring should not be a problem...

I simply get a charge to where I want it and fill a case. Then I take the case and place it under the lock out die so it just touches the metal portion on the underside of the die. I then adjust the stem of the die so that it the line on the stem comes about half way out of the die. That...

What's the deal with the two powder reservoirs? I is just more capacity or something special?

AA#7 is a pretty slow powder for 9mm. Slow powder plus a short barrel can equal more soot.

M2 - The spring compressed itself that much in <200 rounds?!?!? That is crazy. They must have serious issues with their heat treating.

I just took possession of a an STI Trojan (9mm) from Brazos Custom with their 3# trigger and some other go fast goodies. I can imagine another "low cost" 1911 coming close to the fit of the Trojan. It's super tight but functions just fine with my 135pf. The only gun that comes close to...

Ol'Joe and 1SOW - If you are ever in NH you are more than welcome to stop by my house and try out the LNL. If you give me a days notice I'll even tidy up my bench for you. I ASSURE YOU there is a huge difference seating the new Wolf (silver colored, never tried the gold) primers when...

The real myth is the assumption that planes must somehow be sealed to be pressurized. News flash... planes will leak air with or without bullet holes in them.
