  1. 8-9 days. Very good for the amount of orders I am sure they processed!!
  2. Mine should arrive tomorrow. Not that many, but I am still crossing my fingers until they get here! Thanks Tokarev!
  3. I haven't bought anything from Ray-VIn in a while, but I won a sight smoker a time back. Needed something done and it was fixed quickly without charge. His products are excellent and customer service even better. If you don't have any luck there, there is a PPC competitors group on Yahoo. They use the smokers and might know where else to get the carbide. Good luck. ap
  4. How is it cheaper to reload? Bullets, primers and powder cost the same. If you have to buy brass (even used) there's very little difference. Super/SC brass lasts a long time and 9mm brass is pretty well used up after a handful or reloads. Once fired 9 from Brassman is $56 and new Starline Super is $125. You'll get more than twice as many uses out of the Super easily....that's pretty much a wash. The only real exception is if you can get the 9 for free, but that's dried up for lots of the people that used to rely on it. I can barely get a couple of thousand 9 a year (all I really need) and it used to be all I could carry. R, It's only the same if you can recover your cases. Even at local matches where brass is picked up, I never get that many back. Too busy RO'ing and scoring etc.
  5. Not afraid to fly, but I hate it. It has to be worth the 2 hour drive to the airport, 2 hour drive home and the wait, the TSA inspection, the crowded seats, the overly large person taking up half your seat to make me fly. Not a fan of long distance driving, but at least I control the vehicle, and can stop when I want to.
  6. I had to do the same. Backed off a little and it worked out fine.
  7. Since this is in the 45 thread, I used to use Precision Delta loaded ammo in 45ACP. It was a 185 grain bullet. I think the later version was a Hornady bullet, but am not 100% sure. It was light, but seemed more than accurate enough.
  8. I think it is just the name. Very good quality cast bullets. A touch pricey, but I have had very good luck with them in 45ACP.
  9. Crap. One of the few shows I watch!!
  10. I was fortunate enough to see eagles in Wyoming and Montana in March. Truly impressive birds. Hope this one recovers!!

    Dead pirates

    Hopefully this will send a message not to mess with US ships. Seems like the dummies have already hijacked others. More SEAL Training Time!
  12. Mike Seeklander wrote a good article on the same topic. I think it is available on his site or the USSA site. Good reading.
  13. It was in the 40's here and most of the snow melted. I fired up the grill as well and worked in the yard. Come on spring!!
  14. I bought some 40-180 HP's at Cabelas. They keyholed in my STI, but short great in my para with a Bar-Sto barrel. As always, each gun and barrel is different. I would not hesitate to buy with a good deal.
  15. Minus 24 on the way to work yesterday morning. 15 during the day. Bring out the BBQ.
  16. I like to draw the gun, either normally or by the magwell, then look the gun into the weak hand as the gun is level. Is that what others are describing by "looking at the gun"?
  17. There are some made in Canada, I believe they are "Viper" extensions. One of the Canadian shooters makes them. He shoots at the Western New York Practical Pistol League. Contact them, maybe they can get you the info. I saw them in the vendor's tent at the nationals in Tulsa this year. The link below is to the club e-mail. mailto:wnyppl@wnyppl.org Good luck, ap

    Dear Diary

    Well, it's not quite that bad here in New Mexico but it was only 19 this morning. It warmed up to the mid-30's but then a south wind kicked up and kept it chilly all day. That'll add to trigger freeze!!! Merry Christmas!

    Dear Diary

    Trigger time. HUH it was minus 12 this morning with 15 inches of snow. See the range in April.
  21. I have a prochrono pal. It has been dead on for each load that I have had chronographed at a major match. Guess I got lucky with that one.
  22. I have used the aerosol one shot on a limited basis. It makes the sizing a lot easier. Have not had any problems with powder nor primers becoming contaminated and not working.
  23. To quote Ron White "YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID"
  24. NICE. Good to see us in a positive light. Keep up the good work!!
  25. Did you have to disable the "lock back" on the slide stop?
