    NY SAFE Act Suit Filed

    http://www.nysrpa.org/ It took a bit longer than expected, but I think they wanted to be sure the legal I's were dotted and T's crossed.....

    NY - Turn in Your Neighbor!

    From another forum: The letter shown below is from DCJS but was distributed by a Law Enforcement Association to all it’s members. I’ve removed the Association’s information to protect our source but wanted to show you the depths to which we are falling. Orwell was right; just 29 off years on...

    Tumbler Drum Dimensions?

    So back when I had more time than money I made a tumbler that uses a 3# coffee can (6" dia X 7" long) as the drum. It runs about 60 RPM and does a fair job using lizard litter for grungy cases. I'd like to try the SS wet pin method. But for 5# of media I'd like to know the inside dimensions of...

    Fiber Optic Sights?

    I've been shooting steel challenge matches with my 22 pistol and I want to try a fiber optic front sight on it. What diameter are shooters running, and what sight picture do you use? No one makes a sight for the gun so it'll be a custom proposition. I can make a base and install one of these on...

    "Buying" a gun to help a Friend?

    One of my hunting and shooting partners is currently undergoing cancer treatment. Even with insurance his out of pocket expenses are mounting up and he's on a reduced paycheck. I was thinking of making him an offer on his 1911 with the understanding he could buy it back when he gets back on his...

    Reflex Sight Wash Out

    I have a Bushnell Holosight on my Contender deer gun. I like the open style sight compared to a scope or tube red dot but in strong sunlight there's one issue: Even with new batteries and the brightness on max the reticle washes out. Shooting on a cloudy day or indoors is fine. Are there any...

    1911 Thumb Safety - gun or Me?

    I bought a new to me Springfield and it's my first real experience with a 1911. It has an ambi safety and on several occasions now the halves have loosened and the left (main) side walked out of the frame, once far enough that the spring and plungers popped out. Now I know the safety comes out...

    Cases - trim .357 to .38?

    I'm accumulating .357 Mag cases that have developed neck cracks from repeated loadings. I load very few full power loads, most of my loading is cast bullets at .38 SPL levels for the old K-frame. I chucked a couple of these cases in my case trimmer and cut them back .135" to 38 SPL length. Is...

    Using a Turret Press?

    I picked up a used Lyman 6-station turret press to load straight-walled handgun calibers. I'm loading 50 at a time since that's what my loading block holds. Here's what I'm doing (3-die set): 1) Size and decap 2) Rotate the turret and expand the case 3) Prime off the press (Lee hand...

    Out of the box 1911 Accuracy?

    So I've had a 20 year hiatus from shooting but got back into it a few years ago. I've been shooting a friends stock Colt Government Series 80 and have the itch for a 1911. Now, I've got a couple of .22 pistols and a 4" K-frame, off sandbags the 22's will go under an inch at 25 yards and the S&W...
