    Emtan... Ramon. Seriously?

    Very helpful, thank you. So it's like Tanfoglio manufacturing CZ clones or the myriad of 1911s all over the place.

    Emtan... Ramon. Seriously?

    Right the answer I was hoping for. Thanks a lot. You wouldn't ever want to mess with the "Policía Armada" either, which were the guys in the grey uniform you could see in every major town. No dictatorship is good but the fact that you were stationed in Spain those days proves that we shared...

    Emtan... Ramon. Seriously?

    Looks like they will come with some holsters along. Don't know about ammo but the Spanish services have used Israeli ammo before. I have been unable, so far, to find any info on the actual guts of this thing. I presume it is a Glock clone either externally and internally, so as long as they...

    Emtan... Ramon. Seriously?

    So it recently made the news here in Spain that the Administration is purchasing some 6000 units of this Israeli pistol with a funny name. They are to be used by the largest law enforcement agency of the country (the Guardia Civil) and amongst these, it looks like those officers in plain clothes...

    Turret press question

    I don't clean primer pockets for pistol ammo. I do, though, deprime prior to resizing and those cases go into a hot solution of dish washer and citric acid. They soak there for a couple of hours and they get a good shake, after which they are rinsed and either allowed to dry or dried with a hair...

    How often do you replace your tumbling media?

    I live in an apartment and can't do the media separation outdoors, so concerned as I am about lead residues, I deprime all my cases, give them a good soak in hot soapy water, and when they are dry they hit the tumbler, whose media is the corn cob media used for pet bedding. It's cheap, so I...

    New Auto Breech Lock Pro

    I am still so intrigued about how this thing does the priming, whether the primers have to be fed one by one a la LCT or there is some sort of automation in that department.

    New Auto Breech Lock Pro

    Funny enough that I learn from this new Lee on the day that I'll get my brand new Dillon 550 delivered :D. I have a feeling that I wont regret the purchase, though. I'm curious about the priming system. You guys say it is, and indeed it looks like a Safety Prime, but that one, on my LCT, has to...

    CZ SP01 Shadow with new barrel, not going into battery

    Thanks everyone for all your responses, they have been rather helpful. I have contacted CZ Europe describing the problem and all I got from them was a link in which I should contact "the Spanish importer", which turned out to be just a shop who imports and sells firearms, with no gunsmithing...

    CZ SP01 Shadow with new barrel, not going into battery

    Yes, it is, definitely. The barrel slugs fit into the locking recesses with no problems. It's the slide stop, that won't go all the way inside the barrel link.

    CZ SP01 Shadow with new barrel, not going into battery

    So, long story short, I had a squib a couple of months ago and spoiled my barrel. The replacement barrel took a couple of months to show up (well, that's another story) and my LGS owner told me that it was most likely that the new barrel needed some adjustments. We threw the new barrel into the...

    Objectively speaking, why the 40 S&W hate / decline?

    I guess it differs wildly from country to country. There is a 9 Luger standard currently in place, but in the past anything from .32 ACP up to 9 Largo (here in Spain) could be used. I know for certain that in countries as different as Sweden and Portugal some officers (supervisors, normally)...

    Objectively speaking, why the 40 S&W hate / decline?

    Definitely. Over here, and talking factory ammo, .40 can be as much as an 80% more expensive than 9 mm. I think it would be difficult to find a LE agency in the whole of Europe that uses other caliber that is not the 9, in fact. And the very few carry permit holders that you may find, usually...

    Objectively speaking, why the 40 S&W hate / decline?

    I don't wanna open a can of worms here, but with due respect, I never saw what's the point of the .40. Other than the guys that shoot IPSC Major, you won't see a firearm chambered in this caliber at this side of the pond. Of course, there is always the matter of personal preference, what every...

    Tanfoglio Force Compact 99. Your feedback, please.

    Thanks a lot, that's good news. Once I get hold of it I'll try to get my LGS to find out which MG mags fit. I have two of them for the CZ and actually prefer them over the stock ones.

    Tanfoglio Force Compact 99. Your feedback, please.

    I've come across a used unit of this pistol at a very reasonable price. Appears to be in good condition and the seller has only one magazine (the other was presumably lost or damaged), hence the cheap price. I have already found out that I can purchase original Tanfoglio magazines from their...

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    Hi again, gents. Not that I'm new here but I've been quite a while without posting here. Now I'm back and eager to catch up. I've had very good reads and a lot of fun here. Best!.

    Beretta 92F won't feed 147 gr XTP

    I have a 92FS and have found it a bit picky with the kind of bullet you use. Looks like she prefers RN over TC. As it is a service pistol and I have also found it to be less tolerant to mild charges (stovepipes) and think it can be due to a stiffer recoil spring, designed for handling hot 9 mm...

    Symptom of an "Overused" 9mm Case?

    Never had a problem like those, even using Winchester or Remington brass, to be honest. I have tried, however, to reload the same batch of brass time after time (marking them with a sharpie to know they were my brass when collecting them from the floor) and I gave up after reloading ten times...

    LCT OAL consistency. Impressed to say the least.

    So, in short, I just cranked a 100 rounds of 9 mm. Took like half an hour. Desired OAL was 1.125" using 125 grains copper plated RN bullets. Brand is H&N (made in Germany) which is pretty good stuff. Quite consistent in length and weight. Cases are Fiocchi, so are the primers, and the load is...
