    Question for 380 reloaders...

    Ed Brown.....should I?

    I am an Ed Brown owner. I typically answer the question in this way - If you love the 1911 and have owned several Colts, Kimbers, etc etc over the years, by all means get an Ed Brown. You will appreciate the difference between the Ed Brown and all the other 1911's you've owned. If this is...

    Do mild loads result in higher POI?...

    When shooting a handgun light loads will typically print higher than full power loads. The reason for this is that when using full power loads the bullet will exit the barrel earlier during the recoil cycle......in other words as the barrel is rising as a result of the recoil, the full power...

    USP 45 over a 1911???

    As you pointed out, the 1911 is easier to carry concealed due to it being much thinner than the USP. As far as reliability goes - if your 1911 isn't reliable just fix it so that it is reliable. Problem solved.

    How Many Rounds Till Failure

    I typically fire 250-500 rds a week through my carry gun. I've yet to have my first failure in close to 15k rounds. That's peace of mind enough for me. I don't let my gun go 2000 rds between cleanings and lubing any more than I let my truck go 50,000 miles between oil changes.

    What practical purpose is there in requiring a carry handgun to go 2000 rds without lubrication? Most guys I know don't shoot 2k rounds in 5 years through their carry guns.
