Still soaked in factory oil until I wiped it down for pictures. This Colt 1911 Series 70 Government is still new. Hammer was upgraded but, again, not loaded or fired. Has original case, colt mag, and paperwork. Must be a Tn, resident and legally able to own a handgun. It’s for sale or trade. Cash is $900. Trade will be value for value. Text is best. 615-504-14912 points

Would it work out to about the same price to just buy a new optics-ready EDC X9 and then sell yours? That would alleviate the problem of being without a gun, and would ensure that you get one done correctly by Wilson Combat.2 points

Maybe they’re just letting the judicial system do its thing until the matter reaches SCOTUS for a final ruling.1 point

Thanks for guiding me in the right direction. I’m not very tech savvy. I may not get the gun I bid on but at lest I can now bid. Thanks again from this old man.1 point

Interesting pistol. I've had a lot of Taurus product over the years (still have a PT145 hidden around here in some strange place.), and the newer models have appealed to me. If not for the distance...I might be forced into another one. GLWS1 point

I agree with @Garufa that a single stage press is a good way to start, and it'll serve you well for years to come. I handload 99% of the ammo I shoot sans RF .22 I started on a Lee single stage back in the mid 1980's and finally wore it out, and replaced it with the same, about 2 years ago. My Dillon 550 is set up strictly for 9mm (had it since around 1990) and I load all of my .38/.357 and .32 variants (.32 Short, .32 S&W long, and .32 H&R mag) along with occasional .380 acp on the Lee. I use a Hornady manual primarily, newer addition, but a Hornady manual is what I started with. I have several additional resources available. I would highly recommend obtaining and reading a quality manual first thing. Of course you'll need good dies, calipers, powder measure, scales and some method of cleaning your brass. Components have been the most serious challenge the past few years. They are becoming more readily available, but are expensive at this point and time. Don't really know if they'll come down more. But even at today's cost I can produce quality, accurate ammo for much less than I can purchase it for. Midsouth Shooter's supply, Powder Valley, Graf's and even Midway USA have been my go-to places for many years. The component manufacturers are excellent resources as well. I've emailed and received help from Alliant more than once. Good folks there. I don't currently cast, but have the gear, and plenty of lead. Will get back to it eventually. These are just some rambling thoughts. Reloading is an awesome pursuit in and of it's own right imho There are many folks more knowledgeable than I am on the subject here and hopefully they'll chime in. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1013005426 https://www.hornady.com/reloading/handbook1 point

We got several birds this morning and they are fighting big time. Seen 4 in a tizzy at the same time on one of my feeders this morning. Changed out my feed in both feeders this morning. In the past they have been picky just after replacing fresh nectar but not this day. They never missed a feeding. They put on a show at breakfast this morning. One feeder is hanging in the bay window, just outside our breakfast table, so we can get a close-up view of the birds. We got some real small ones which I presume are this year hatchlings. Really enjoy watching them feed.1 point

I reload from time to time but it’s not a hobby so I don’t spend a lot of time on it and I’m not what you’d call an expert. That being said, it’s not hard to do but I would recommend a single stage press and a proper set of carbide dies. Reloading is tedious enough but those Classic Lee loaders, while absolutely functional I’m sure, is like doing things 100 years ago or in Afghanistan. Lee makes good, affordable equipment.1 point

I got Tremidor from these guys and followed these steps when I found termites had infested a corner of my garage. Took care of the colony, cost a fraction of what the pest control guys wanted, and stopped any further damage to the frame around the old garage door.1 point

Bought one a few weeks back. Working just fine. I have to get caught up and make a couple of holsters for it. New territory making a pocket holster but if I don't like mine DeSantis makes a great one, have it for my P32.1 point

Unfortunately, that was a short-lived victory. SCOTUS today overturned the Order (which prevented the ATF from enforcing the rule while the case is on appeal). In a 5-4 decision, SCOTUS allowed the ATF to continue to regulate gun parts (like 80% guns) until the case goes through the full appeals process. We will see what the 5th Circuit does and, if appealed from there, what SCOTUS will do with the case on its merits. But for now, the ATF can continue to regulate these parts. Justice Roberts again sided with the more liberal members of SCOTUS to give the ATF a preliminary "win" in this case.0 points

My feelings about my 365x aren’t as strong as yours, but I really enjoyed this post.0 points
