1911's haven't been very friendly to me, but I think I've learned some technique to shooting them from reading forums. Part seems to be my grip pressure on the grip safety for 1. I think that explained why I hso many fre/ftf's rather than it being a mag or extractor issue. 40 years older...
I fell off the wagon after 4 years w/o a sip. I don't know what came over me. Just to grip it will get feelings back i don't think i want. I guess my age and possibly early stages of memory issues, but for the life of me I lost control...........what should I do about this hideous eye...
I love the levers and you can't have enough of them! Im on the boring side as I have only 4 rimmed levers and a 270win blr.

Hoping to get a 500mag from Bigjorn Armory , but I don't like the cost.
Glad you had a great day at the range!
1911's aren't for me as my wrists don't like the grip angle. i'd say have at it and enjoy the building. the only handguns i've built are s/w, sig & glock. i plan on building some hk's and cz's
since i have a 7-08 w/10t, 7saum w/8t, i'll just go w/9t for the 284win. i kind build each caliber per cartridge to use a certain range of bullets. the less capacity of the cartridge the lower weight of bullets are used. 7-08 will be the lightest to 150, 284win somewhere between...
I'm looking into that cartridge as a just for fun with no specific use. I'm thinking about a 20-22" barrel using a twist between 9-10. Bullets between 90-150gr and possibly 165-168's. Ernie is my guess who'll have 1🤷♂️
i'm awaiting on 2 p320 carry police trade-ins in 45acp for parts and too build using the slides and mags for 1 or 2 full size 45's..........well the slides will still be carry/compact, but the barrels will be full sized (4.7")
rather than starting a new thread i'll just add to this 1. as previously stated i owned up until a couple of weeks ago an x-10 to add to the 226 (357sig). now i'm building frankensig's. icarus frames to start with and 2 norsso slides. i have an axiom 9mm from brownnells that was nearly...
Although some firearms i have are metric labeled i converted them........I sprinkled some water on them and said, "you were made metric and now you're imperial"🤔🫢🤣
i'm awaiting on a 25creed AR barrel (7T) and have 128edl-x, 131smk (not tipped) and a few others (128's are the lowest weight i have that's cup-n-core) including barnes 100tsx-bt's for some high speed which could get me over 3,300fps with the 26" barrel (+3 gas).
maybe something like Hispanic people that have 5 or 6 names (example, Luna Esperanza Camila Valentina Isabella)...............make it a mouth full almost like remington short action magnum:unsure:
i wish nh would make something bigger in the tv series. their 145 is just a bit small in horsepower for my needs, but would be great for a backhoe or trencher.
