Re: Wet Tumbler... Juice Worth the Squeeze?

I considered wet tumbling but, with the rinsing and drying, it sounds like more work than using corn cob or walnut. However, my main reason for dry tumbling is because I prefer to process my brass after it’s clean. I shoot in the desert so my recovered brass is almost always dusty and/or covered wit...

Re: What to do with Reloads?

The liability issue remains and there is no solution to that.
I'll just dust off the old Les Baer and burn through all the ammo. Then I'll put the pistol up for sale and sell the fired brass.

Re: Liberty Safe finks out on customers with the feds

Is there any reason the safe can only recognize ONE access code? Can it be programmed to respond to the either the manufacturer's master code OR the user's code? I wonder . . . . . . . .

Re: transfer switch

I have been trying to do the same here in Elgin but can't find anyone to do an install for me. The folks at Ace, Lowes and Home Depot will gladly order a generator for me, but can't suggest a contractor to install it. Generac has scheduled appointments for estimates three times so far with their sol...

Yep, he probably got my scent from my camera and is licking his chops in anticipation.

P320 Slide Question

Does anyone know if the same MGW 307 sight pusher I have been using for P226 & P229 will work for a P320 slide?
Thanks for your help.

Re: What to do with Reloads?

Thanks for the good ideas, Guys. I appreciate your suggestions. I hadn’t considered the liability aspect. That’s an excellent point considering our current litigious society and a deal breaker for me. The risk certainly outweighs the reward. I won’t bother pulling it. I would have to buy a collet pu...

Re: What to do with Reloads?

I thought about possibly trading for something but wouldn't that be considered to be like selling?

What to do with Reloads?

My first pistol was a Colt Series 70 Mark IV in .45 ACP that I paid the full retail price of $125 for in 1971. I’ve had a number of different 1911s since and have been hand loading .45 ACP for 47 yr. It was my carry round for decades. Lately, however, things have changed and I now carry .357 Sig and...

Re: 6mm Remington ammo , where to buy

Does your friend have any brass? If you can borrow a set of dies and your friend has some brass, I can load some for you guys. I have everything else, just need dies and brass.

Re: Just got my CCW, go for the P365X?

The P365XL is the best sub compact pistol I have fired. I really like it. I would suggest a Kramer scabbard holster in horsehide. It's one of the most comfortable holsters you can find and horsehide will outlast you.
