1911 mags...best, ones to avoid in 10 rounds

moeman — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:17:41 GMT

One of my 1911's, a springfield black stainless, doesn't like 10 round mags with any bumpers etc... Have a bunch of Chip McCormick's from years ago that work great in my other 1911's. (Bought a lot of Chip's mags years ago since they worked great for me...) but won't engage on the fully in this gun.

So... what is your favorite 10 round, no bumper mags for 1911's...?

and while we are at it favorite regular mags? Yes, budget matters but only if they are reliable. No f'n Promags etc... In fact, Springfield's OEM mags are crappy IMO and after reading how many people think that Springfield 1911's aren't good and knowing the bad luck I have with their mags, I think they shoot themselves in the foot. Years ago, for a standard mag, Metalform was a great choice and good value. Still true??

Dang proud of my neighbors!

A bad forest fire started earlier today outside of Prescott and by dusk was 0% contained and threatening area homes.

There were numerous mandatory evacuations and a lot of the homes in the area are horse properties.

The online edition of the local paper has a comments section.

Here is a link to the article on the fire and some excerpts from the comments section...

Smoke is heavy in Chino Valley. Close windows and use fan for cool air if people and animals are sensitive to smoke from evaporative cooler which draws the smoke inside.

True Blue with Lead?

I started casting my own 10mm bullets a few months ago. I use Lee molds and my 175gr TC bullets drop at about 180gr with straight WW alloy.

As Ramshot has no data for True Blue in the 10mm, I was hoping some of you guys could share your True Blue loads with lead bullets if you have any?

Thanks

What to do in Thailand?

Our fight lands in Bangkok on December 1st, and we will be there 11 days.
We are debating on how long to stay there the whole time, or whether to take a train down to ph.uket, Thailand for part of it.

WWJD (What Would Jack Do?)

labdwakin — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 04:39:18 GMT

Monday morning I went to my parents' farm to oversee the work on the house I'm rehabbing so I can live there. On the way to the house you have to go past the barn where I had been doing my reloading until I could get them to finish my house. I stopped... looked... and my heart fell through my shoes... I screamed an animal cry of rage, pain, and loss all at once. :crying::steamed::crying::steamed:

Sunday night a large system of thunderstorms moved through our area. Lightning hit my dad's barn and burned it to the ground with ALL of my reloading gear and components in it. I had slowly built up a very nice selection of rifle bullets, pistol moulds, powder, primers, tooling of all kinds, and some shooting accessories. I don't even want to THINK about what it would cost to just go out and buy it all.

I went through the morning until lunch just in a state of shock and pain. Then at lunch time I was telling one of the guys working on my house that I wish Jack were around to talk to about it. Then it hit me... Jack would have just shrugged and rebuilt.

Now, I'm mostly over the shock and anguish of it. And I'm looking forward to rebuilding my reloading empire! :supergrin:

Glock 30S

At least Walmart isn't price gouging

Louisville Glocker — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 04:21:23 GMT

Bought three boxes (the limit) of Tulammo 223 at Walmart tonight. Pre-panic price of $5.27/20 rds. It may have only been $4.99 before, can't remember. But they could be selling it for twice as much now and it'd sell.

I just wish I could get more than 60 rds/day. It is on my way to work, so if it stays on the shelf, I can stock up slowly I suppose. Plus, I'll ask my gf to pick me up some too.

In any case, that ammo in stock, along with a Colt 6920 priced at $1097 in stock, tells me that the panic is definitely getting closer to over. Thankfully..... the weather is nice and I'm ready for some serious shooting...

Cheers!

Two more older S&Ws!

nathanours — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 04:20:14 GMT

Found another deal I couldn't pass up on two older S&W revolvers. The first is a 5 1/2" barreled 17-3, and the second is a 6" barrel 19-2. They are both in very good shape with the only wear spots being holster wear on the sides of the ends of the barrels. The seller wanted to keep em together as a sort of set so I gave him $1200 for the pair. The bluing looks like it could drip off of em, I'll have to get better pics later tomorrow night. I've never had a .44 before so it'll be fun to see how it shoots.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could tell me which years they were made. The serial number on the 19-2 is N63XXX, and the 17-3 is 6K10XXX.

What do you guys think? I think I did pretty well price wise...

Prize Cert Paperwork Question

haskovez — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 03:30:21 GMT

I got lucky enough to win my first prize pistol (Random) at the Carrollton, TX Match this year. I was looking at the form and I think I want to go with the Gen4 Glock 34. So is there only the $35 gen 4 upgrade fee on that or is there an additional fee. It looks like the gen 3 34 costs $107 upgrade, but that comes with Adjustable sights and the - connector. The Gen 4 lists fixed sights and 5lb trigger so does that mean the only fee is the Gen 4 fee or will I get hit with both fees?

Thanks for any help that can be provided, I am so excited to have finally won one after my 3rd year of competing here in Dallas.

What to do w/ a broken Gen2 G19.

M1fuzz — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 03:07:30 GMT

I was at my local gunshop the other day when my dealer stated he had a Gen2 G19 come in. The gun's owner brought it in and said it blew it up.

I proceed to look it over. Mag is shredded, chunk of the frame is missing to where you can see the trigger bar working, frame cracked from the missing chunk all the way down past the mag release.

Dealer showed me the ammo the owner was using. Ultramax 9mm 115 grain fmj. One of the casing was split approx. half way around the casing right above the extractor groove.

What can I do as an armorer to help this gun out? Thanks in advance.

10mm RSA

I was surprized to learn from another thread that my new G20 stock recoil spring is only 17lbs. that seems a little light for Glocks most powerful pistol. to those that has owned them for a while have you settled with the 17lb stock spring or have you replaced it with something higher?
I'm not looking at shooting nuclear loads with my new 10mm but some of Underwoods ammo looks appealing.

Heating/Airconditioning Help Needed

Glocks and Garands — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 02:35:58 GMT

Help! My elderly mother has a GE Heating/cooling blower/evaporator/heater unit in a closet inside the house. It is model number BGLE034D1B03 and was installed new in 1978.

At first it would run the blower for about 10 seconds before tripping the breaker. Now it will not allow the 60 amp breaker to be set when the thermostat is in the cool, off, or heat selection.

My niece's boyfriend said that it was a bad breaker, but I am not sure. She cannot afford to replace the unit and will not let me help her. Please help.

Travel Habits

wilhelm51 — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 02:15:48 GMT

The recent threads about equipment lists and the number of divisions entered got me thinking how most of you deal with all that equipment on the road.

For instance, I am going to overnight one night for the Dawsonville match. As far as personal stuff I'll only be carrying a single change of clothes, my diddy bag for meds and toothbrush and my CPAP machine. But even only entering two divisions I'll have the 17 and probably 450 rounds along with other gear in the car.

I wouldn't consider leaving the gun in the car overnight especially since it will fit in easily with the one clean shirt but I really don't want to lug all the other gear into room.

What do the rest of you do?

Quote:

I purchased a .45 ACP pistol today from a nice gentleman in a grey Mini Cooper S. He seemed nice enough and in the course of the small talk I failed to inspect this pistol as thoroughly as I would normally. I felt he was knowedgable enough to be believed on function and seemed sane at the time. I purchased the pistol and left.

The pistol is fantastic. What was not was the .45 caliber bullet lodged halfway down the barrel. Not sure if he was an idiot or a homicidal lunatic. If I had not purchased that gun, some one else may have taken it straight to the range and loaded up a magazine and proceeded to blow the gun and themselves up.

We have all popped a squib load that lodged halfway...but to leave one in and SELL THE GUN is criminally negligent at best, psychotic at worst.

But it gets better.

When I got the bullet out...it was never fired. Brand new bullet hadn't seen powder, case or primer. He just took a Speer jacketed hollow point and jammed it up the bore.
I believe he fully intended to blow this gun up. And the new owner with it.

Interpret as you will. But please tell your gun friends...
Check your gun purchases carefully before firing.
Keep emails and phone numbers of sellers to assist authorities of these 'booby trapped' guns.

Always get ID and bill of sale.

I got the emails and license plate number for OSP and BATF so they will hopefully check on this potential psycho anti-gun terrorist.

Case Fans-need Power Source Info

I am looking to hook up 2 case fans to provide air circulation in the canopy of my fish tank. I plan on buying two of these.

I need to provide a power source and the manufacturer hasn't responded to my request for info on what kind of power supply I could use.

Some people have recommended generic 12V/2A AC adapters off EBay, but I'd like to keep my out of pocket expense to a minimum.

I threw out a broken Wii a couple years ago, but kept the power supply because, well, I figured it might be useful someday. It is a Class 2 supply rated to put out 12VDC at 3.7A.

Will I be able to use this supply to power 2 fans?

Should I wire them in series or parallel?

Set trigger on T/C Hawken Muzzleloader?

cloudbuster — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:33:13 GMT

I received an old .45 cal T/C Hawken muzzleloader as a gift.

It has a double trigger set up.

One trigger is a "set trigger." You're supposed to pull it back and it sets the primary trigger for an extremely light release.

Does anyone know how this is supposed to feel?

On mine, the set trigger clicks when you pull it, but doesn't lock back, and I can't feel any discernible difference in the primary trigger.

I have the manual, and there's a set screw to adjust the set trigger, but before I go fooling with it, I was wondering if anyone knows what it's supposed to feel like. Is the set trigger supposed to lock back when you pull it?

Israeli use of the 10/22

mac66 — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:21:45 GMT

I know we beat the 22 rifle for survival to death. It is either the best thing there is or the worse. One thing that usually pops up during a discussion about using a 22 for self defense is that the Israelis used a suppressed 10/22 to shoot protesters during the intifada (Palestinian uprising). The tactic was to shoot protesters in the groin as a non lethal method of discouraging them. Unfortunately the femoral artery is in the groin area and more than a few rock throwers died. Made the Israelis look bad so they stopped using it for riot control.

Here is one of the more famous photos of the Israelis 10/22s from back in the day.

They apparently did not stop using the 10/22 for other things however, like sniping. Here is a photo from a Palestinian newspaper from Feb 2013. Same guns, different optics, even using a hi-cap mag. The Pals were complaining that the Israelis are now using the 10/22 as a sniping rifle to murder innocent people silently.

You have to admit that a quiet shot in the right place from a 22 has some advantages.
