I'm running into a problem that I've never experienced before and have run out of solutions to diagnose or solve the problem. When loading fmj precision delta 124gr 9mm bullets, about 1 in 10 rounds are not holding the bullet. A little pressure and the round falls into the case. On the rounds...

I am considering purchasing a 629 performance center 4 1/2" revolver. I can't put hands on one here in town so I am wondering if the compensators are removable?

If anyone heard the interview today on Fresh Air, it was about a new book examining the history and impact of the Kalashnikov. Here is a link to the interview: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130493013 Here is a link to the book...

My tax stamp for my SBR just arrived today. It's an AR lower that currently has a 16" 6.8spc upper on it. I started my 5" 9mm build this evening, but was thinking about the paperwork issue as I did. I know that I now need to carry proof of NFA with me when I have the gun, but is that true when...

Im building a suppressed 9mm SBR (AR platform). I've got a transfer in the works for an SWR Trident-9. I have a threaded barrel on my HK P-30, but I am not sure how to proceed with the AR 9mm upper. I'm looking for some advice on 3-Lug adapters. I will be using a 5" barrel, so the suppressor...

I have a 9mm P30. Does anyone else's 9mm have a faint line in the chamber that produces a noticeable bulge in the spent cases? The spent cases that are fired in this gun almost look like they are beginning to form a neck the ridge is so distinct. Is this normal for p30s, or do I have an odd one...

Can resident aliens purchase NFA items?

I'm shopping for a suppressor for my 357 sig glock. Once I get it, I will need to start loading subsonic rounds. My understanding is that even subsonic, some powders are going to be louder than others. What kind of powders suppress the best, and which of those would work in 357 sig? I am...

Hard to even come up with an accurate thread title for this one. It's a mutant, but I want to get a suppressor. 9mm seems to be the way to go for the quietest centerfire pistol cartridge. However, I don't own a 9mm handgun. I do, however, own a Glock 23 with a 357 Sig barrel. I also reload for...

If you carried .40 for SD, would you consider the new(ish) 135gr .40 rounds. The published numbers are 1325fps and 526ftlbs. What disadvantages might this have over other .40 rounds?

I've started shooting my 357 sig reloads in a glock 23. I am using an EFK aftermarket barrel. For some reason, I am really worried about KB in a way that I am not when shooting .45 acp reloads in my 1911. The advice I was given for .45 is to just reload until the brass cracks. This doesn't...

Sorry for the pic source, but is this a Garand?

My first experience at reloading (.45ACP) has gone well for the last few months, so I am getting a bit daring and going to try .357 SIG. I purchased a set of Lee steel .357 SIG dies, a Lee Factory crimp die, and a carbide .40 S&W resizing die. I am sure that I will have more questions as I get...

I am looking at getting a .357sig caliber handgun. I'm fairly well decided on a Glock 32. But, with the Gen 4 on the horizon, I am wondering "should I wait?" What is the likelihood that the 32 model is going to see the upgrades anytime in the near future (say within 6 months)? Since this...

What is the advantage of a SAW over an M16?

any idea why someone might have put two holes in the side of the barrel? They don't go through, they are just countersunk. Gun shoots great. The two countersinks are on opposite sides of the barrel. here is a pic:

I am trying to figure out when I am significantly more accurate with the .22lr slide on my Kimber than with the .45 slide on. The trigger pull is, of course, identical, as are the grip and hold. The only difference is the .22lr has target sights. The recoil of the gun should not be a factor in...

I've only reloaded ball .45acp, but I'm just getting ready to start .380. What are the hash marks that encircle the bullet?

Should a 1911 be able to slow feed (controlled release of the slide, chambering a round) without jamming? I have two 1911s. One is a Kimber stainless ii that I am trying to troubleshoot, the other is a 1945 R.R. USGI. The USGI doesn't, the kimber does, jamming the round nose up appearing to jam...

OK, I've loaded and shot my first 70 rounds of .45 acp (my first loads of anything). The first 10 I loaded with 5.1gr of Win231 and 230gr hornady FMJ bullets. These went bang, but didn't cycle the action in my p220. It seems that the more I read about using Win231 for 230gr .45, 5.1gr seems to...
