The only .40 single stacks I know of are considered compact, like the 4013, which I have. I had hoped there was a 40 version of the 3906 which was a unsuccessful marketing of a single stack 9mm, but apparently not. I have a 3906 and love it, shoots great, easy to conceal as it is rather thin...

Dead thread revival, but a worthy topic! I have a love affair with the third gen, I think I call once a week to S&W just to B***H that they sold out to the 1911 crowd. Anyway, since the police trade in market has become so rich I have been buying up 3rd gens as long as i have a $1 in my...

Dead thread revival. I wonder how this could potentially affect Active Military members? Under Federal law we are considered residents of a state for purchase of firearms, so long as it is in compliance with state/local laws. So if we bought a firearm in an FFA state and got orders to...

Lake City is great for long life, I use it almost exclusively, you can buy once fired mil brass cheap by the bucket. Get new when I can if it is reasonable. IMI if you can ever find it is EXCELLENT brass, mil spec for longer life and much more consistent than LC. I guess they stopped export...

I have recently started to look into swaging myself, and love the idea of making my own bullets from scratch exactly as I want them. I just skimmed through the thread quickly, but here is some useful info maybe, in case it hasn't already been posted. Look at Castboolits.gunloads.com...

I have a custom mini 30 with a true .308 SS heavy barrel. I shoot .310-.311 through it when I need more brass for reloading (I only use IMI for for 7.62x39). Never had any issues, only thing I've run across is a bit of increased copper fouling. For those with stock mini's the bores have...

Whatever I carried that day (Springfield SS Champion, or SW 4013) in my nightstand, .40 S&W HK USP EXPERT in wifes nightstand. One spare in the drawer for each, all loaded with Gold Dots. Also keep a 9mm AR just inside the closet, two 32rd mags loaded with frangibles. If by some...

Bringing this one back from the dead. I have been using a Frankford vibratory for walnut, RCBS separator, then a Hornady M2 with corn cob. Problem is both capacity and noise. The FA is REALLY noisy, the M2 not so bad, but I can still hear them about anywhere in the house (garage is not...

I lurk Gunbroker for bulk deals all the time. Picked up a couple thousand NIB IMI this past winter.

Just checkinginterest, I am trying to put together a possible group buy for a run of 20 S&W 3rd gen barrels with Briley bushings. This is not for my business, this is basically the only way I can get them affordable for my own wants/needs. This is not a cheap system, but anyone that is...

IF and when this goes thru, I will only be ordering for the 4 models mentioned (5906, 4006, 4506, 1006) in the lengths appropriate to those models. If cutting the barrels will make them fityou rpistol, that is up to you to do. I cannot make any gaurantee they will work with any platform other...

Right now I am still working on the details. This is not a definite buy yet, I am just trying to see if there are enough people out there that want these barrels. I know I want at least 2 of each model. As I said though, I need to be able to order at least 20 at a time to even fire up...

I have several 3rd generation S&W. I have been having a problem getting match grade barrels from the after market. Barsto quit making them, and Briley does not make them anymore either. I tried to get the idea of a group buy so Briley would run a lot for us. It met with mixed results...

I have used RRA, GREAT firearms, both AR's and 1911's. Can't say anything for the S&W though, but they are pricey. I recommend building your own, cheaper, more fun, and you get exactly what you want.

Try the 4013. You can find them all the time on Gunbroker for reasonable prices, floating around $400.

I'd be careful about using Paypal to pay for a firearm. They have explicit rules against it, they are extremely anti second ammendment. I know of people getting their accounts and money frozen simply for owning a gunshop, even though they were not accepting Paypal ofr payment of firearms...

Thanks for the props 0007! I have brought the buy to THR as well now. I have lurked on this board for quite sometime now. Despite not having much of a post count I have done alot of PM'ing and had a great experience so far. I love reading the political section. Yes the IOR scopes are...

A range gun under a $1000 bucks? I have had an HK USP 45 forever, bought it new and it is a 2xxx serial number series. NEVER had a failure, accurate, and very comfortable to shoot. Only complaint I would have is there is nowhere near the parts and accessories there are for the 1911. You...

Dead thread revival I know. I am amazed I have not seen anyone mention the Springfield 1911's as an alternative. Personally I think the Springfield has the best value going for ANY 1911, with alot of standard features you find on "custom" guns. I have three, all reliable with just about...

4506 in 460 Rowland? I have been looking for info on converting a S&W 4506 to 460 Rowland, anyone think this will work? I picked it up for a song to be a tinker gun and play with different chamberings. 400 CORBON is now out as I can't find a barrel manufacturer anymore, to many...
