    Is 45LC in Black Powder Still available?

    I would guess that there is no market for them. Those few of us who use them hand load.

    9mm Powders: do you use AA#7?

    I've used it through three different measures, (Dillon, Hornady and Redding) and it meters perfectly. It was developed by Israeli Military Industries for the UZI submachinegun. It gives excellent velocity at moderate pressures. I've worked up some excellent loads with 115 and 124 grain...

    Arthritis. Advice?

    First see a doctor. Gun wise, a full size metal frame like the Beretta 92 or CZ75 series in 9MM has very little recoil, even with +P+ loads. Another option that I use is going to the range more often, but shooting fewer rounds per trip.

    The Best Folder for self defense opinions.

    I consider a knife a tool. A firearm is a weapon. If you can carry a knife large enough to be a true fighter, you can carry a pistol.

    How many rounds equate to a proper new pistol break-in?

    If I like the weapon, I will lightly lube it and shoot several hundred more rounds of range ammo through it to "smooth it out" and re-test. If it fails re-test, I get rid of it.

    Powder choice

    My favorite powder for the .30-06, BY FAR is WW-760/H414. H450 worked like gangbusters but I can't find it anywhere.

    Clean vs dirty propellants

    I agree that higher pressure loads generally burn cleaner. My carry loads, Federal 9BPLE, 115 grain +P+ are very clean. OTOH, I decided long ago, that I should clean and lube my guns whenever I shoot them, so clean burning versus dirty burning is less of a consideration for me in choosing a...

    Cleaning the polymer of a polymer pistol

    I've had good luck with alcohol, soap and water, and just a warm, dampened rough cloth like a shop towel. If the polymer is greasy, try a warm damp cloth and lava hand soap, followed by clear warm water.

    Springfield armory, from the CEO

    I think we all need to be far more careful before we start screaming at people and make sure that we're not just looking for something, anything, to be offended about. That is the liberals' way, not ours.

    How many rounds equate to a proper new pistol break-in?

    If the fit and finish is so poorly executed that the weapon will not run properly when dry, the manufacturing was faulty. All weapons should be lubricated according to manufacturers' instructions. no one questions that. But before I trust my life to a weapon, I want to know that everything...

    How many rounds equate to a proper new pistol break-in?

    My test of a new weapon is to fire 300 rounds, then thoroughly clean it, removing every trace of lube. I then fire 200 through it, and if it is 100 percent reliable, when completely dry, I trust it. Clean and lube normally and carry it.

    Help choosing 9mm defense load

    I carry factory Federal 9BPLE (115 grain JHP +P+) "Practice" ammo is loaded to duplicate these with 115 FMJ bullets and a HEFTY charge of HS-6. (Power Pistol and AAC#7 are also superb)

    How many rounds equate to a proper new pistol break-in?

    Nice weapon. I have the Range Officer version. Break in is what you're comfortable with. Lotsa folks consider 50 rounds adequate. I, personally, will fire at least 500 before it goes to the holster.

    45ACP Blazer Brass Small Primer Pockets-What Primer to Use?

    Any small pistol primer is acceptable. Don't overthink this. The factory loaded these with standard CCI small pistol primers.
