      Widener's $265 Walther P1...Here already?!?

      I love mine. Mine is also a 1976 build. In SA its a brilliant range gun. In DA, eh, I guess I'll give it a pass considering it was a pioneering design from an era when DA operation was brand new. Trigger pull in DA is pretty terrible compared to new DA/SA guns. I shot some hot 124 gr 9mm...

      Zero vs. Berrys bullets

      Currently shooting Berry's 200 grain FP with 4.7 gr of Bullseye out of my 1911, middle of the road load for range time, no disappointments so far. Have shot 200 gr HP, FP, 230 gr RN, 200 gr SWC from Berry's, Kimber feed ramp did not like the SWC bullet profile, shot the rest flawlessly. I'd...

      Anyone here done business with Mountain State Supply?

      I bought a Walther P38/P1 trigger bar from them when mine broke. Actually I won a gunbroker auction for it, but that was the seller. Fast shipping, product came exactly as advertised, I would buy from them again.

      First run of .45ACP

      I have reloaded and fired ten thousand rounds of .45 ACP or so over the past couple years, for both pistol and carbine. I don't trim. I don't clean my primer pockets. I pick up all my brass the range and eyeball it. If the case isn't obviously flawed, I keep it. I mix headstamps. No...

      Bass Pro...

      BPS has better powder selection than any of the smaller shops in the area, that I know of. If you cringe at the hazmat fees for ordering one measly pound of Bullseye, brick and mortar stores are it. I have never purchased a gun from Bass Pro, but I have bought primers, powder, and other...

      Barrel leading in my .45ACP

      Red Dot is faster than Bullseye? Well I'll be.

      Alliant Powder, Bullseye: for 9mm, 40s&w, .45acp and .38/357

      I love Bullseye for .45 ACP. For 9mm, not so much. There are many better offerings. IMO its not a "do all" caliber.

      Turkish Mauser Restoration/Rework

      For my M24/47 I did this. Took only the stock (handguard was a replacement and not gunked up) and put in in a makeshift canoe shaped aluminum foil receptacle. Put it on the dash of my car, parked it facing the sun at about 11AM, and left it there on a 95+ degree day for about and hour. Wiped...

      Russian primers?

      I loaded 7k Wolf LPP, no misfires, no problems at all. When I got them, primers were scarce, and when Widener's got them in stock I bought them because there simply weren't American primers anywhere. They worked great. I'd definitely buy Russian primers again.

      Romy 8mm ammo in spam can...

      To answer the OP, yes, its smelly. Its all I have ever shot out of my M24/47. Fun to blast away with, price is right. The old price was 99 bucks with free shipping, I got 4 380 round cans in two wooden crates.

      Best value 1911 Gov.

      I bought my 1911 used from an internet forum (not this one). A moderator over at 1911.org was liquidating some of his stocks, I paid about 60% of retail pricing for a gun with gentle wear and nice aftermarket grips. I got extra magazines, a decent enough carrying case, and paid 30 bucks for...

      WalMart Ammo prices ?

      I pay about 64 bucks per 500 for 200 gr. .451 plated bullets actually. Bullets are far and away the costliest component. To avoid excess lead exposure during indoor sessions, I shoot plated. I shoot a lot, and I am sure the lead vapor adds up. I have seen absolutely no difference in accuracy...

      WalMart Ammo prices ?

      The Tula 9mm steel cased stuff runs about 8.50 for 50 at Wal Mart and my Walther P1 loves it. Tighter groups than UMC bulk and the maroon box Federal, believe it or not. I crunched the numbers on reloading for .45 ACP and I am paying about 18.1 cents per round to reload, considerably cheaper...

      Hard Cast Lead Bullets and powder soot

      When I was shooting Oregon Trail lasercasts out of my 1911 I used HP-38, the lube had a distinctive odor. Sooty as well. Same powder pushing jacketed bullets, no issue with the odor.

      H&K P7 PSP - info/suggestions/places to buy

      I'm also looking to pick one of these up. Other than capacity and the tiny rail that seems almost too small to use, whats the deal with the P7M13s?
