This kind of stuff pisses me off. I get that subsonic 300 BLK is the cool thing to be into lately, and that all the mall ninjas out there agree that it gives +10 to operator. The thing is it's NOT FOR HUNTING and I get a bit pissed when people put animals through unnecessary suffering for the...

Can you pay three bucks more for a nice one? I have had this belt for years and still looks good. http://www.511tactical.com/basketweave-leather-belt.html

I use Synthetic Motor oil with Hoppe's Gun Grease on the slide rails. No problems yet.

Pass. We already have enough pistols on the market with a ridiculous price because of the name.

Not sure why you would expect the P-64 to be similar to a Makarov pistol. Both fire the same round but that's where the similarities end. The P-64 is a PP clone and I believe is much smaller than a Makarov which is more a full-sized pistol. It would be similar IMHO to comparing shooting a...

Thanks for all the replies, very helpful. I own a pair of Polish P64s so I will get some Wolff Springs for them and the 1911 while I am at it. Noticed Wolff does not list RIA as a brand nor 1911 as a generic category. I assume the Colt stuff will work?

For what it's worth here's my 2 cents. .380 is from what I have seen a marginal round with anything but FMJ which then gets the required penetration. Doesn't mean it's an ineffective round, just one you have to understand the drawbacks on. More expensive than a 9mm as a rule, but it is usually...

Yes mine is a 5" barrel. I was going to buy some Wolff springs for my P-64's, what kind of difference will a new spring for the RIA make? Or just more durable? Edit: Looked at Wolff's site and they say the 38 super uses a 14lb string by default. What would happen if I use a (heavier?) 17lb...

Excellent, thank you for the help guys. I will do the plunk test tonight when I get a free minute, but it is reassuring that OAL is something that requires fine-tuning. Oddly enough I sized the LRNs to the same length as my factory FMJ and JHP which feed fine. I assume this is different due...

I am new to handloading and ran into a snag with 45. I made sure the OAL was under the maximum 1.275" but it didn't like to chamber in my RIA 1911. The slide would not fully close and after doing a bit of homework I shortened them a bit from 1.263 to 1.238 and they seem to have no problems...

Okay thank you; will keep an eye out for signs of excessive stress though just in case

Hello, I have recently purchased a Rock Island 1911 chambered in 38 super. After doing some homework I have narrowed my choice of Self-Defense ammo down to Buffalo Bore and Double Tap. My only concern is the non-ramped (aka unsupported) chamber in the RIA and whether it will be okay to fire...

Warp I was mainly trying to illustrate that work > Black Friday "deals" let alone free time. :) People become animals on that day lol

I know OP already got an AK but I thought I would mention the FEG AMD-65 if you want to pick up an awesome AK variant cheap. It's got a side folding wire stock, foregrip, accepts high-cap mags, built in flash hider (to make it legal length), and runs like a beast. I bought one locally and...

I personally view Black Friday thus: Calculate the money you "saved" and compare that by the number of hours you spent acquiring it times what you make an hour. I am willing to be the hassle and time spent getting the "deals" doesn't equal what you would had made working for that time, and...

In Iowa we do not have the duty to inform, nor does the law provide for an automatic notification to the Officer doing the stop if we have a CCW permit. That said I make it my personal policy to notify even though I don't have to. I try to see things from a Cop's perspective: They don't...

Depending on the type of work you're doing would not a shoulder holster be best? It has the added benefit of being able to carry additional magazines on the opposite side, and would be easily concealed by a jacket/coat. They may not be the ideal solution but possibly the best given that you...
