It isn't that I don't like them I just don't have a need or use for them. They are great for what they are designed to do and if I had a use or need I would own one. It is amazing how technology has changed the 1911 style handgun including the one I have pictured here which has been highly...

Nice race gun, unfortunately it doesn't fit the description for precision bullseye competition. Picture of the pistol with the target was shot at 50yds in a machine rest buy my pistol gun smith, center picture is same pistol with a red dot and target grips the third target was shot from a rest...

Has anyone bought and used this from the Texas Brass Co./the reloading station LLC ? It's supposed to be great stuff for sonic or tumble cleaning brass without using steel pins.

Don annealing brass is very easy and very simple to do, all you need is a propane torch, variable speed drill, short socket extension and a deep well socket that the brass will fit in, a damp towel to drop the brass on to cool the brass and a semi dark room so you can watch the brass change...

No problem Bruce, I agree it's a nice feature on a target pistol using light target loads that helps smooth out the slide returning into battery. There are several types of this cut, this is one of them in the picture which requires the disconnect head to be machined, the other is a wide flat...

Bruce if you're referring to what is known as the Marvel disconnect cut it won't help with the binding of the trigger. The trigger track in the frame probably needs stoning or he needs to fit a new trigger to the frame being more careful how much he takes off the top and bottom of the trigger...

Snob? I don't know, maybe. I have a brand-new S&W M19 in the box laying in my safe, been there about 10 years (it was preowned and in someone's collection) along with a few others that I shoot. Got a Colt Detective .32 long New Police, loaded in the nightstand, multiple custom 1911s in various...

I had a 2" 686 that I used in PPC competition and shot it with powder puff 38spl loads at 50yds. Don't let the short barrels fool you, stretch it out to 50yds and see what it will do.

What's the markings on the case head besides 9MM?

Nice looking Sharps falling block Scotty.

To be honest Bruce I've never heard of Monarch brass unless it's made by Federal who made Monarch shot gun shells. I would google it to see where it's manufactured. Then on the other side I save all brass cases to take to the junk yard and sell for scrap once it exceeds its usefulness.

I bought a brick of large pistol primers when they came available and had one go off while seating it in a 45 acp case on a Dillon 550B, luckily, I only got powder burns on my right arm, the seating system on the Dillon took the blast. I notified Fiocchi USA about what happened and got the run...

Well good luck Patrick I really wish you success with the build. And Dan thanks for the well wishes, as long as my health holds out, I might get it done. I sure can't blame my equipment if I don't.

Good luck with your project. I shoot 1911's in precision competition ( Bullseye ), I'm shooting against the best shooters in the world so I want the best built 1911 I can get. I fiddled with switching parts when I first started shooting trying to make the gun more accurate, it was very...

While in High School I worked in an Acme Super Market as a teller and did everything else also, I was taught to rotate stock on shelves putting the new stock in the rear and moving the old stock forward, to this day when I shop I check the code dates and pick the product which has the longest...
