It could do duty as a pin gun. Most places allow comps, just not optics. My S A Longslide w/ 6 1/2" comped barrel does great for that. Also w/ the comp thats on yours, you could do some more upgrades and shoot 45Super. Tracy

Until I worked for a local armed security co, I always used the slide release/stop. Had to qualify w/ a G23 (POS compared to even an average 1911 IMHO), can't find THAT slide release. After quitting that co and going back to my beloved 1911's, I returned to ALWAYS using the slide release. As...

I just signed up. I'm always interested in others results ---good bad or indifferent. Tracy

Mine's a S80, and was made in '95 (at least thats what's on the nite sites) Mine is the Carry version-all blued with fixed nite sites. (Actually it's my wife's). Tracy

My initials and my fav cal. Thus----tsp45acp! Tracy

Glimpse, Where are you located? I drive a gas tanker and fill up at the Greensboro "tank farms". Yes some have signs, but driving a large commercial vehicle w/ hazmat/tanker endorsements, I can't legally have a firearm in my truck with me. I've been concerned for my own safety due to...

Mattcat, Thanks, couldn't really remember the load. Prob closer to 3.5-4.0 Unique. Didn't seem like a hot load, but moved pins nicely. Tracy

I've used Clays for years in my Pro 1000 with out any probs other than only use the posted "disk" for a start, not gospel its the correct charge for the listed charge. Weigh every different load. Tracy

I had probs with Precision bullets leaving the coating in the rifling and grooves of my barrels. Worse than lead. Still have approx 300 of the 1st box of 500 185 gr swc's. Tracy

Valiant bullets. 256-748-3333. Tracy

I used to load Oregon Trail's 300 gr'rs for bowling pins. Worked fine. Flat point bullet took the pins off nicely. Would have continued using them, but 250/255's were much cheaper and easier to find. Don't remember the load, but somewhere around 4.0-4.5 gr Unique. Try it. start lite and work...

They come to a lot of gunshows. Call in advance and put in your order. Cash or check-no credit cards. Called in and picked up my order (5000) at the Greensboro NC gun show in Jan. Good bullets. Better than a lot of other bullets I've shot. Ordered 45 cal- 230 gr. Some smoke, but less...

I use a Lee Pro 1000 w/ auto disk, and found that very few powders actually are correct with listed "disk hole" and amount of powder charged. I haven't looked at the disk hole list in years. The important thing is to zero your scale every time you use it and then make notes of which powder and...
