Would you possibly be interested in a 300blk? Upper

What trade would you be interested in

Single shot 410 I believe it’s a Brazil made it’s an off brand can’t remember who made it. Still have need to shoot it by good luck getting 410 shells right now.

No way I would carry FMJ either. Was just looking for something that seems to work in most 1911s as a place to start especially since we seem to still be limited on ammo options for SD. I still need to put 100-150 rounds through it before I put into my carry rotation.

One more question for the the guys with RIA SF. Is there a good Self defense round for these that seems to feed reliable in them? Just trying not to spend $100 on testing hollow points. My lgs had some sig V crown but I haven’t bought any yet they also had some Remington black belt I may have some old hydra shock somewhere around the house as well.

While I was putting it back together I launched the barrel plug in the air it bounced off everything in the shop and my 4 year old shadow ran upstairs to tell moma daddy said bad words and proceeded to repeat the to her. He the. Came back and helped me find it.

Thinking about swapping my Rock Island 1911 FS 5 in full length guide rod out for the GI style for easier take down. I know I will need a guide rod and plug probably a spring to in the 16-18lb range. If I do this most likely will go with Wilson combat parts. Anyone done this and is it worth it? So far the gun functions great just not a big fan of the full length guide rod.

Built mine 2x6 frame 3/4 in plywood top and a 2x6 underneath my press with the bolts through the plywood and 2x6. Make sure it’s level. Mine has no flex or wobble at all. Mounted a sheet of plywood to the wall above it and use that for a peg board.

Looks like it was just me shoot again yesterday pretty much shot the center out of the target. Only thing I am going to do to it now is paint the front sight and possibly some VZ grips.

I tried 6 o’clock then moved to 12. When I aimed for head shots I hit center of the target. Those loads shot great in my XD 45. When I get a chance I try some HP38 load I think I have some left some were and go from there. Of course bugs were eating me alive so I didn’t dig the factory loads out of the bottom of my bag to try those.

Update pistol ran great with my reloads no problem at all other than seems to shot low really low. May need load development.

By the way mine came with a KCI marked mag so I did go ahead and pick up a Kimber mag today just in case. That way if I have an issue I can swap mags.

I may get with you on that next week or do. I picked it up this morning. Spent about an hour cleaning all the preservative out of that stuff was everywhere.hopefully going to shot it Sunday

I found a Rock island at buds and purchased it. Hopefully it will arrive at my FFL late next week. I bought the FS non rail version in 45 acp. Just need to pick up some more mags for it.

I have some that I had to load around 1.09 if I remember have to check it was either 1.10 or 1.09 for a Glock and S&W to pass the plunk test.

Is it in 45ACP. Ant see the markings and any idea if round count?

Going to check bass pro tomorrow see what they have

That’s what I am looking for FS or tactical model don’t really want a rail on it. Maybe next weekend I can take a ride to Dover.

Well no Luck at the gun show. Did see a couple Tisan but prices seemed way high had some decent price on some Kimber LW but more than I had to spend. I will keep looking.

Hoping to hit up my local gun show this weekend and see what I can find. None of my local shops have had any 1911 that were not $800 plus range

The FS model is the one I think I will end up getting

That’s kinda what I am hoping to eventually do some mild custom work. Seems like some good candidates to learn on.

Think I am finally going to get a 1911 looking at the Rock Island FS in 45acp with 5in barrel. I think I asked this a while back but has any one thought changed on this I know there also seems to be some coming out of Turkey that look decent as well.

That’s a good point you need to start with a powder that has a good case fill. I have not loaded 9mm in a while ( loaded a good supply a while back) but I believe powder pistol gives over half a case fill.

Midsouth shooters supply in Clarksville used to have reloading classes from time to time. I took one there and it was free not super detailed but gave the basic information. Seems like there was another shop in Clarksville that also did the class. That has been several years ago but worth looking into. The one at midsouth was basically for people interested in reloading and kinda gave you the info on what you were getting into.
