    Auto disk powder measure

    If the discs happen to coincide with the load you want, you're all set. In my case (a sample size of 'one'), the .43 disc drops 4.2 gr. of Accurate #2 without any adjustment. Since this was the load I was looking for, case closed (so to speak). As racenutz noted, the retaining screws' ears...

    Another Auto Disk Powder Measure Question

    Nope, none. At least for Accurate #2 (very fine ball powder). Maybe I just "got a good 'un," but the expected 'droppings' haven't appeared -- I keep a clean bench (as wally suggests) and a mini-whisk-broom (with dustpan) handy, but so far it's only needed for primer residue when cleaning...

    CZ-52's, springs, S&B ammo and other general goofiness

    Ditto. I recently had the exact same experience as spin180. Not a great way to "meet the neighbors." :uhoh: (Fortunately, they were understanding, too...)

    Which conversion kit?

    strambo's advice makes a lot of sense from a practical standpoint, but I'll lay in a thumbs-up for the Kadet all the same. Just posted a "long term review" on CZForum of my experiences with one: http://pub205.ezboard.com/fczechpistols82792frm45.showMessage?topicID=188.topic If you're not...

    Beginning reloader Hi, all! I just jumped into this fine and fascinating field. Hope these experiences can add something to the already excellent advice presented. I, too, took the Lee route on the advice of the local expert. (Wanted a Dillon, but he's a Lee guy. When in Rome...) Got...

    Warning! Bay Area: Reloaded Ammo Not to Buy

    Another vote of confidence for the reloads from Two Guns Press, co-located with Jackson Arms. I've used about seven thousand of his 9mms and small batches of several other calibers. Never had a serious problem with them, and the last two thousand were 100% perfect. I've also been extremely...

    Just how bad IS Remington promotional 22LR ammo?

    Like RobW notes, YMMV depending on what your Buckmark likes... My CZ75 with Kadet kit has a lot of experience with Rem Golden Bullets. I've run through nearly a case of this stuff and found it accurate and decently reliable (one or two duds per session of 300-ish rounds). $69 for 6300 rounds...

    Inconsiderate folks at the range.

    There's (a very small amount of) merit on both sides of this impending argument (regarding the conduct of the past almost-argument). The boys 'escalated' the situation by saying anything at all. thefitzvh 'escalated' the situation by being drawn into a confrontation -- although the methods...

    Where to get super/regular Colibri

    What Greg L said... I've had pretty good luck at shows, too. If you're on the western-ish side of the lower 48, a trip to the Miwall table usually puts a dent in the wallet and a smile on the face. Their selection varies a bit from show to show, but I have purchased Aguila/Colibri from them...

    My downstairs neighbour is so tactical...

    More happy accident than tacticality (especially since it doesn't do anything at all for slicking up a draw, but it's primarily a range toy, and anyway, I digress); bought a MecGar adjustable rear site for my CZ75, then later on got the Kadet kit (.22 conversion), which came with... A MecGar...

    What to do with old (but not OLD) gun porn?

    Daedelus: You win today's "beverage on monitor" award! :cool: MattD: You're on my dunglist (not really) for suggesting eBay. I took a look over there to see if people really post old copies of gun magazines. They do. But no one bids on them. Except me. :uhoh: :p Everyone: Thanks...

    What to do with old (but not OLD) gun porn?

    Hi, Folks A bit of housecleaning has left me with about half a milk crate's full of gun rags. They're almost all published within the last two years, so don't have any collector value, but the landfill option seems like a waste. I take my other used reading material to the 'library' down at...

    Gift For Dad: 1911 Trigger Job In Bay Area?

    I'm no help on that one, Sprout -- my 75 is a 1991 with rounded triggerguard/no firing pin block, and I'm pretty happy with the trigger as-is. Though if I weren't, I'd happily give him first crack at it! Mike Eagleshield at CZ-USA apparently does great trigger jobs on 'em. I've only ordered...

    Gift For Dad: 1911 Trigger Job In Bay Area?

    Jackson Arms smith Hi, I don't have a 1911, but Pablo, the smith associated with Jackson Arms has worked on several of my pistols and always done fast, effective, accurate work. He's friendly, honest, and inexpensive (heck, he wouldn't take anything for a couple of the little projects -- I...

    Y'ever have a (non)shooter shoot your gun better?

    Yep, including a couple female friends who had the whole bay go quiet watching 'em (uhh, perhaps not entirely for their amazing "beginner's luck" accuracy :p). Another friend's wife put her first five shots ever into the same (not ragged) hole at 7 yds. Her husband went :what: and said "Note...
