There is a Kentucky Rifle show this weekend @ the Jubilee Banquet Hall on Callahan Rd. Not sure about attendance price - might be worth a look.

There is also a Kentucky Rifle show on Callahan Rd about 1.1 miles west of exit 110 @ a rental space (the name i don't recall ). Might be worth a look. Callahan Rd is off I-75 North of Knoxville.

I'm wondering if there is an indoor shooting range with-in driving distance . Maybe they would let you shoot a 45 auto or perhaps you could meet a fellow enthusiast there & find out how much you enjoy a 9mm or whatever in a 1911 frame. I got one of my 9's (used) from some one that way.

I finally got to hold & shoot one @ the range yesterday.. The owner cordially let me run a mag with it-Yikes ! I have small/average hands and was pleased how well the pistol sat so comfortably in my hand - the trigger slid to the rear with a mildly increasing tension and then Bam ! The front strap is nicely checkered- the mag well is flared-the recoil was brisk but not "snappy" ... Now I know why there is a 6 to 8 month wait for one. I was grateful to have the pleasure of shooting it and now know what a superb machine a 1911 can be !

Have found a square blister pack of 10 rounds that says 10 stuck (with two horizontal dots in the top of the U) and M43 Ub in raised letters on the plastic blister. The blister pack is backed with paper . The bullets are round nosed and dark gray. A magnet confirms the bullets are sheathed or plated with steel . Any one know what they are or were designed for ? Thanks !

Any one hear or know of a source for the so far un-obtainable domestically produced munition ? I believe there is a genuine market for it !

Found 2 rounds of orange tip in a bag of 30 carbine ammo that was in a bag of loose rounds at an auction. What are they ? Sorry no photo @ this time . Just curious. Thanks !

Thanks ! Got in touch w/Glock support this morning and got a reply this afternoon --Kevin @ Glock said though model 21 barrel may fit there were internal parts that would lock up the pistol if I did so . (1911's work fine if I wanted a longer barrel.)

Have an old model 30 (45 apc) that works fine- was wondering if the model 21 45auto barrel would fit & function ?

I was told years ago that the reason dogs find foul (no pun intended) smells attractive is to help mask their canine scent for hunting purposes.. Perhaps ?

I got a set of 38/357 Lee carbide dies from Midway last week - The carbide die was the FL re-sizeing die. They're not RCBS or Hornady but they will work better than un-obtainium.

I believe primers are made in 2 sizes - large & small, right ? So is it possible to use small rifle primers in a small pistol cartridge ? Could you enlarge the "flash" hole to compensate for the power difference ? Or is it too dangerous ?

Found a few 20 rnd. cartons of ammo with a label on one them - Some say it's heavy ball - I'm just curious is it Yugo Romanian Albanian Polish or Czech ? Will try to post picture. Thanks !

I have a few tins of #10 and #11 percussion caps..I can't see any difference in their size-some of the #10's have a red colored primer and others (made by another company) have a green tinted primer. The # 11's are various as well. Though some of the 11's claim to be "magnum power". The Remington #11's are green / the Winchester # 11's are red. Is this normal ?

My THANKS to all that replied, I'm grateful that TGO is available !
