Some are shooting the center fire match with the revolver on days that there are official points for the Distinguished Revolver Badge for warm-ups. You see them more and more. I use a SW Model 27 ( N frame ) as I found the SW Model 14 ( K frame) a tad small in the hand.

I have found this guy's video, and two follow up videos, very good http://youtu.be/SEBrkF0sMgI

Good hearing about the thumb break holster experiences. So it seems that most/all are for getting the ambi safety?

Thanks rcmodel those are very helpful. And thanks to everyone for the replies. All of my 1911s are with the normal left side manual safety. Whenever I do use the safety I just flick it up/down with my left index knuckle. It seems that getting the ambidextrous safety would be the...

I have several 1911s but shoot lefty. Been considering carrying using an IWB holster, but wanted opinions on the idea. I shoot Bullseye and have no experience carrying or drawing or using the manual safety in a draw. (Always kept off as not needed in Bullseye). Are there lefty 1911 carriers...

When we go shooting, we always bring along the "Super .22"

(I had to look up Persiflage) but now that I know that I know it is French in Origin. And that i also know that Moxie is a Maine invented soda ( filled with French-Canadians), I must assume that 36.028 actually means 36 Thousand times more difficult. (As we all know, the Euros use decimal...

Perhaps I misspoke. The full length ( but 2- piece) rods for me were 50 times harder to take apart. Having to break out the Allen wrench was becoming a pain for me and I didn't see any gain in performance. So i switched to GI.

I changed my full length rods out of my 1911s. I am unaware of any real benefit from the full lengths. I think they were to give greater stability for Bullseye 1911s, but I don't think they have been shown to be any better. Regular GI rods are fine ( I see them all the time in Bullseye guns...

I bought one for my Dillon 650. Before I needed to turn a little bolt. then I got the unique trek for loading .45 ACP now it is 50 times easier to get to a specific charge - throw. You spend time on the first day making a little excel sheet x-y graph . i.e. reading on the micrometer vs...

Is this actually true? If they wanted to expand, they are/ have been forbidden from doing so?

I don't cast, but there are 7000 grains to a pound. Might give you a ball park figure of the number of bullets

Aimpoint micro These are being used a lot by those with a little more of the well-heeled guys. http://www.opticsplanet.com/aimpoint-micro-t-1-red-dot-sight.html They seemed to be most liked due to their clarity, and super low lack of parallax. Also the problem of the battery running out...
