Sounds like it, apparently I got two bad ones. I ordered mine on the web--perhaps they got banged around in shipping. I have also read that some older models were much slower. If I buy another one, I will buy locally, and make sure its fresh stock... If I could be seating a bullet while...

Man, this thread is painful. #1 I love stag's, they're expensive, and I love stag's... #2 I love 1911's and this thread reminds me I have no polished 38 super. So far I've resisted the Super 38, because brass costs a pretty penny and no one shoots it around here... But I can't resist...

I went through a similar thought process recently. I actually already had a 45ACP wheelgun; I am a big fan of the 45, found a nice S&W M22, and bought it. I don't shoot it much, though. I find I like the 45ACP through a 1911 much more; the recoil of the M22 is a little much with the slim...

"They" have since 1929 :neener:

Nice. Congrats, BTW, on the new job. I like Bullseye a LOT. A great powder for "mouse fart" target 38 spl. loads... The classic 2.7gr under a 148gr DEWC and all that. I actually settled on 2.8gr under a goofy plated 148gr I buy locally, and really enjoy it. In a scandium snubby, that...

I'm not sure if you're looking at the scale only, or the combo... In any case, I had the combo for a bit but returned it. I haven't gotten into rifle yet (although I plan to), and I am convinced this scale is not made for pistol use. My first example wouldn't hold a zero to save its life...

No doubt in my mind at all that you want a bright stainless 38 super. Super 38 was developed in the 20's, and has a LONG history with the 1911. Feeds better than 9mm in the 1911 platform, and is hotter (if you handload). And there's NOTHING more pimp than a bright stainless Colt Super 38...

1911! That's what I carry. The perfect size, feel, shootability, and concealment profile. However, Of the choices above, I'd take the G21SF. I like the way the 21SF feels in my hand. I thought I'd LOVE the G30SF, as the size is so small, but it doesn't feel right to me. The grip doesn't...

Nice grab! I'd like one of those, someday. BTW--the pistol will have more meaning when you hand it down if you carry and shoot it. IMO YMMV, of course.

The P239 is a great CCW! I had one in 9mm for a few years. Single-stacks fit me better, too, and I always felt more comfortable with my P239 than my P228. With the stock grips it was a tad too thin, actually, and torqued around in my hand in recoil. Hogues or Nill's will cure that. I...

AnaxImperator, those are some oogly pistols. I visited Rothenberg od Tauber last year with my wife... Lovely little town. I didn't see that shop, where was it? Speaking of ridiculous Lugers.. I stopped by a gun show and there was a dealer with perhaps 35-45 Lugers, all in really nice...

LOL, yeah, I guess I took for granted that everyone would know case widths for 45ACP by heart :D Sometimes I forget that there are other calibers out there! Back to your regularly scheduled program... :o Of course, my point was simply that "it happens"

My 1911's shorten factory Hornady 230gr TAP by .002-.003", and my reloads by .003-.005. I don't worry about it, as that much (or little) shouldn't make a difference... But I duly noted the slightly larger change in my loads, and won't be exploring the outer edge of the loading envelope with...

I believe it, Old Fuff! I only have a 25-yard range to practice on, but I have done pretty well with the 'ol snub at those distances. It just takes a little faith. I always marvel at the TINY barrel when I'm cleaning the thing after a range session, and the fact that I can make a can dance...

Very, very nice. As much as I like Stag on nickel/stainless... I *really* like it on blue. It brings out the ivory color. Wow. Thanks for sharing :)

Love the Colt's in Carbonia!!

There are many reasons, among them: Historical Significance Performance in many of the USA's defining conflicts Reliable Performance Accuracy Fit for many hands Ease of shooting a powerful big-bore caliber Classic look Still the best safety ever invented One of the best CCW weapons...

I loaded up another hundred 45acp rounds with Unique last night--out of 100 throws, I had 2 that exhibited the "plowing" feel. That's really not bad. If you end up really liking Unique, as I do, maybe look into the Hornady thrower. It seems to work really well with it once it has some good...

What problems have you guys noticed in RP 38 spl brass? I have a ton of the stuff, and haven't had any problems... Although I don't shoot a LOT of 38, so most has only 1 or 2 reloads on them so far. As to brass "feel"... I've been reloading a lot of 45acp lately and I can call out the...

Mike: I think carrying concealed is probably even easier nowadays with cellphones and the like on everyone's belt. No one thinks twice about a small print near your belt location. Dairycreek: that's some good snub shooting! I can't quite shoot my snub as well as my 1911, in fast fire...
