Re: colt vs. kimber vs. springfield 1911's???

I don't think you would have a problem with any of them. I guess pick which ever one floats your boat. Kimber outsells the other two by a large margin.

Re: Getting into Reloading, suggestions

Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of having a 9mm? The safe loads for lead rounds are much lower in velocity than jacketed. On something like a .45 it doesn't matter, but higher velocity rounds do. I guess you could go the gas check and special alloys, but that significantly raises the costs ...

Re: Getting into Reloading, suggestions

The Classic Turret Press is also an excellent choice. I've got a set of vids on that, too. However, despite Lee's apparent claims, it won't do .50 BMG, chiefly because there's no turret that will fit the big Fifty. Their single-stage Classic Cast is really the right tool (among Lee presses) for tha...

Re: Bushmaster .450

The 450 Bushmaster has been out since 2007. Cabelas has been selling the uppers for several years now. Hornaday has reloading data and bullets for it now. Here is a link for some more info on it.

Re: Do you take guns on vacation?

I carry my guns everywhere it is legal to carry. Almost all of the states I have any reason to visit have recipriocity with Virginia. I have flown with mine and had no issues doing that. If a state doesn't then I will reconsider if I want to visit that state or not. Of course much depends on the rea...

Re: CHP Time frame?

43 days to when Hampton mailed mine. They mailed mine to some other guy and his to me. They then called and left a message on my voice mail saying to bring it back in and they would straighten it out. I had no faith in them to be able to send the correct permit to the correct person so I called the ...

Re: Snow today

Got off of work at 4:30 and the traffic was light and the roads were pretty wet and mushy. No problems at all getting around. Did some errands and then home. Its nice having an all wheel drive vehicle with 4 wheel disc brakes. It just basically goes where you point it. Just make sure there is tracti...

Re: New 9MM Advice - Sig P226 or CZ 75B?

You might consider the CZ-85 Combat. Basically the same gun as the 75 but it has ambi controls, drop free mags, no trigger block, and adj sights. Extremely accurate. I haven't shot a Sig 226 but I am sure it is a fine weapon. A friend has the 239 and it is a nice gun. You will have to decide if the ...

Re: small cc gun ---kel tec

I have owned and used a PF9 for 3 yrs no with no issues other than it isn't a fun range gun. It has been accurate and reliable for over 1000 rounds now. It has been highly concealable and has done everything it has been asked to do. It has a very good rep on several other boards I frequent among KT ...
