Here's some pics of it with the HOLOSUN 507C X2 that I just got done mounting.
-
Got my Staccato P DPO from my FFL yesterday morning. I just finished mounting my HOLOSUN 507C x2 red dot on it. Hopefully I can go sometime next week and run some rnds down it and get the HOLOSUN adjusted. Here's some pics.

Got my Case Feeder in this morning, got it mounted and set up, works great, also hooked up my led light. I decided to go old school on my powder measure, I removed the powder measure rod and installed two springs around the powder hopper like the old style, works smoother than the rod. I did that so I could change the angle of the powder hopper to work with the Mini MR. Bullet Feeder and my low prime alert. Ran a dry run without powder and it functions fine, tomorrow I'm going to load some W231 in the hopper and check and see if it is still set for 5.4grns since I had to move everything around a bit to clear and function. Got the dies all set and adjusted for sizing, bullet depth and crimping, Here's some pics still have a few more tweaks to make but should be ready to start reloading. I've got 30,000 left to finish off what I have in my inventory of 200grn SWC.

I can think of more things to spend $10,000.00 on and it won't be a reloading press. They look good, but I'll stay with what I have.
-
That looks great, but I really prefer the Extreme Grip Module Dragon Scale Texture, I might install the tree bark one I have.
-
Installed a few more parts on it this afternoon. A Mini MR. Bullet Feeder( the one you load and turn by hand) it holds 100 bullets, works great so far with the trial run. Installed a new primer chute and it actually works great. Still have some tweaks to make and a few more parts that I want, oh the Case Feeder will be here hopefully tomorrow or Saturday can't wait to hook it up. Here are a few more pics.

Picked up my new Staccato P DPO from my FFL. Going to do a few mods. on it, either install the old style Grip Module from my Staccato P 4.14 or I might order another EXTREME SHOOTERS Grip Module w/ Grip Reduction like I put on my 4.14 model, and an aluminium Flat Trigger from EVERGLADES and install my HOLOSUN Red Dot this weekend. Here's the pics. of the DPO
-
Put a Geissele Trigger in it, I had the Flat Trigger in my AR's. Looks good, I might have an extra Magpul Hand Guard, I'll look around if I can find it you can have it if you want, it came off my Magpul Edition S&W MP 15. I swapped it out for a BCM One Piece 15" Rail. Let me know and I'll see if I can find it if your interested. I sold you that M&P 45acp Shield.

Yeah I got a Led light mounted on it, got a few more accessories in, and coming from Dillon and others I've bought from. Got a new Primer Catcher, some easy tabs to remove the pins, my fat fingers will appreciate that. I ran into a little problem when I set up the dies, the Sizer-Primer DE Capping Die, some how the pin that punches the primer out got loose when I was setting up the others and it bent the pin and the holder. Emailed Redding and they are supposed to mail me a new one along with extra pins for free, so we'll see if they do. Case Feeder is supposed to be here today or tomorrow, along with the other stuff I ordered. More pics when I get it put together, and the roller handle is great.

I used a 550 also for the last 10yrs. probably loaded over 80,000 rnds on it over the years. I figured it was time to upgrade, I still have about 30,000 45acp to load up to finish what I have in my inventory, so I figured I could make quick work of those with this loader.
-
Got my Dillon 750XL set up, I placed a bid on Ebay last month and took a chance and won it, I got a good deal on it considering the prices lately. It came with a 9mm Conversion kit so I ordered a 45acp Caliber Conversion kit from Dillon right after I purchased my press and received it in a week along with a spare parts kit. Last Friday night I ordered a Case Feeder for it and it shipped today and should be here this week, that surprised me cause it showed it was on back order. I got the press mounted on an Inline Fabrication JR Mount the other day and waiting for the rest of the stuff to get here. So hopefully I can start reloading 45acp next week. Here are a couple of pics of it mounted on my bench. I'll post some more when everything else arrives this week.

I'm getting ready to get some Kennedys and Ben Franklin Half Dollars next. I'm going to try to buy 10-20oz a month from here on out, I'll try to get a few Gold ones every now and then.
-
Here's some I got in last week. Some new Silver Eagles, Morgans, Peace Dollars, and some Walking Liberty's. I'm just getting started on my collection.
-
I apologize if I came off like I was mad, I understand that it is better to have the Red Dot mounted on the Slide. I just traded for one of the new Staccato P DPO, do you know anything about those. I know they use a Plate from Dawson Precision, do you think that was a good choice, if I can sell my Detonics Combat Master I listed here I might be interested in your Staccato if you want to sell, just let me know sometime. I'll post some pics when I get the DPO in.
-
TGO David, you'll be happy to hear that I removed the Dovetail Mount that made you wince in pain and put the rear sight back on. I just ordered a Staccato P DPO and should be here in about two weeks then I will mount my HOLOSUN 507c x2 on it. Can't wait to get it and try it out.
-
Like I said, I know the mount I chose was not the IDEAL MOUNT, I didn't want to spend $600 to get my Staccato P 4.14's slide milled and refinished. If I didn't like it I would have a hard time reselling something that had been modified that others might not care for, as far as the sex doll comments, I've got nothing to say about that, if you don't like it that's your opinion(and we all know the saying about opinions). I'm going to try it out and then if I like it I'll have the slide milled, if not I'll sell the HOLOSUN.
-
Here's what I chose to do first before committing to having my slide milled. I installed an EGW NOVACK MOUNT for my Staccato P 4.14, w/ HOLOSUN 507C X2 RED DOT. I know it's not the proper way to mount one but I wanted to try it out first. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet but I will soon.

I still believe Kroger's pay them to "scare" people into buying all the bread and milk. I used to live in western PA, when I moved here 27yrs ago I'll never forget the first time it snowed here and we had a pretty good ice storm, well I drove to four different stores just to get a few things and two were closed and the others were out of everything. How many loaves of bread and gallons of milk does one person need, it usually only lasts a couple of days and everything is back to normal.

Sight pusher tool recommendations
DJTC45 replied to lock n' load's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
This is the one I use, but it isn't cheap. You can check them out on YouTube. It's a beast. -
That's a good looking Ruger 1911, is that a 6"Bbl. or is it the angle of your photos. I bet it's a tack driver. Nice score

Rechargeable flashlight battery question??
DJTC45 replied to DaveTN's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
Like all batteries even the rechargeable type, and I've got a Fenix with a battery that charges with a USB port, and another Fenix that uses a charger. The one that uses a charger is probably 5yrs old and I recently had to buy one battery for it about 2 months ago. I don't use it as much as the other smaller one so I think that batteries shelf life just ran out. At least that's what I think. -
Haven't put a knife together in a while...
DJTC45 replied to gregintenn's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
Until I send you an idea that I came up with, you probably cuss me under your breath, but you've always delivered what I came up with. LOL.... -
And don't loan it out to your nephew anymore, I like and care about my two nephews but I wouldn't loan them a wheel barrow cause they would find some way to tear it up. Just give it a good cleaning like everyone else suggested cause Dillon is backed up.
-
I've installed them in every AR I've owned. I put a Flat Geissele Trigger in my MCX Pistol in 300blk, I like it smooth breaks clean. Check out there videos on install and you should be fine. Post some pics when you get it done.
