I am wondering if any of you have experience with reloading for a PM9. I had a case blow out some time back and I have been very reluctant to use reloads in it again. It has had a diet of Winchester white Box ever since. I had developed the load using my Sig and thought it was safe. It is...

It appears that Crimson Trace is not making a LaserGrip for the 21SF, What would be your recommendation for an alternative? I'm not real sure about the internal LaserMax. Does it come with springs? Is it tough to install? Is it convenient to use? LaserMax also makes a rail mounted unit...

I have been reloading the Rainier plated 200 gr Flat Point for .45 ACP at a COL of 1.268 over 5.0 gr of some very old Red Dot powder. The combination seemed to work fine with my Glock 36 and my Glock 21. Well, I ran out of the old Red Dot so I thought I would try some W231. I loaded a few...

I wasn't able to find this posted anywhere. I thought it was interesting. Link: Story

The closest I have come to pulling my CCW in about 7 years of carrying. I have mixed feelings about posting this. But maybe those more experienced can help me and others learn from this... I drive an alternative fuel vehicle. The thing about alternative fuels is that the stations are not...

Not sure which Forum was the best place to ask. Does anyone know if there is a market for very old powder cans (empty)? I have two, 1 pound Win 748 cans - round metal, someone wrote 2-80 on it. I suspect that is the time period it was purchased. I am working on emptying a round, red...

Just got my SG Garand from CMP. Looks really good to me. I don't see any pitting on the reciever. A bullet will not slip all the way into the muzzle. The wood feels dry to me, but it is solid with no cracking - not sure of the type. I think it could use some refinishing. The bolt looks...

I know there has been much controversy about steel cased Wolf ammo. I could not find anything about BRASS cased Wolf Ammo. Ammoman has this listed: 223 WOLF FMJ - M193 55 GRAIN COPPER WOLF PERFORMANCE, SERBIA BRASS CASED - BOXER PRIMED NON CORROSIVE for $279 / 1000 Does it have...

I have had a young adult (20) living with me for a couple years - long story. He knows I have guns and carry. He has inquired once in a while about going shooting. However, he had NEVER fired a gun and was not raised around them :scrutiny: . I have taken novices before. But I am not...

I want to start reloading for .223 Remington. I have not reloaded for rifle before. How critical is a dent in the shoulder area? After resizing the dent is still there but the cartridge easily slips into a cartridge check gauge. It seems to me it should just fire form back out...

I just ordered an M1 from CMP. Thanks to this forum, I found out about the program:D . Does anyone know what the current time is to fill orders? I ordered the service grade. Thanks .

I was at the range today and had a malfunction with my PM9 :what: My first attempt at posting a picture. I hope this works. Only my 2nd trip to the range with it :( Apparently the case of the cartridge failed. I was shooting my own reloads: 115 gr West Coast bullet with 4.8 gr W231...

Could anyone give me a ballpark figure of what a 6 1/2 inch stainless like new King Cobra is worth. This is in Cali if that makes a difference. Thanks

I do have a shotgun and handguns. My wife has decided I might need something in a rifle after all. :D What do you consider the best value self defense rifle in an urban environment? (CA legal :mad: ) I am thinking something in .223. But not really sure. Maybe Mini-14?

Not sure if this is the correct forum... I am traveling to Washington. I don't have a CCW permit that they honor :cuss: and it looks to me like I can't even carry my Kershaw - Ken Onion design knife :scrutiny: . Any suggestions. Other than don't go? :confused: Larry

My son just purchased a small semi-auto pistol. I didn't have much time to look at it. He quickly told me it was an old german make (sorry don't remember the make or year, but early 1900's). Anyway the guy at the shop said it would shoot .25 caliber. But, it is marked somthing like 6.62...

Shot my first IDPA match today in Chino. Had a great time. ;) Found out in the excitement of things, sometimes the good guys look a lot like the bad guys. :eek: And sometimes you might forget to shoot the scene like you thought you plannned.:uhoh: Larry
