I had the same experience, disappointed. It was nice to work the handle on a 1050 and RL1100 though. I don’t often see one of those in person. I’d rather buy from Scheels now, free shipping.

I scored the CCI500s from Powder Valley but it took some work. Went in and out of stock several times and had to keep refreshing the site. It stinks to have to buy 1K at a time but at least their price was better than Midway and Brownells.

I've got the Burris MTAC and the Burris 1-4X XTR and like them both but want to try a Vortex next. I was concerned about the PST getting knocked out of zero, sounds like the HS is the best bet.

I love the JP/VTACs in mid or rifle length and the PRI GenIII carbon fibers.

I've got the Burris MTAC and the Burris XTR 1-4x. I like both but I think I like the MTAC a little better. It's a great value. I'd also like to try a 1-6x scope like the Leupold or GRSC.

I just picked up a new M&P 9 Pro and want to install a good rear sight. I would like to try the Novak adjustable. Anyone using that sight on their 9 Pro? Did installation require any machine work? What height and width front sight are you using? If I don't go with this sight I will probably use a Heinie slant pro, I have had good luck with that sight on my G22.

Bud's only has 9L's, I can't find a 9 Pro for a decent price. I would like to pick one up in April while they have the 2 free mag deal going. Anyone know a place that has them?

I use the 5.11 trainer belt, 1.5 inches wide without a stiffener. Great for IDPA matches and also use for carry. I've got a brand new extra that is too big for me, do you wear a 40-42 by any chance?

You should consider the Springfield EMP. Great gun, very accurate, light weight and very easy to carry. You can hide it under just about anything given a good holster. I typically prefer a full size 1911 or commander for carry but the EMP is great when I have to carry smaller/lighter. A good backup for your primary gun is a S&W j frame like the 442 or 642. With a good pocket holster you can carry one anywhere.

+1 for 3.5 grains of Titegroup, very accurate in my guns.

+1 on Garthwaite, he is a true artist with steel. His Hi Powers and 1911s are superb.

I like the slide cuts and profile at the front of the slide better on the Pro and plan on buying that one instead of the L

I have had a Chrony, one of the basic Pact and now a Pact MKIV with timer. I much prefer the Pact chronographs over the Chrony.

I have noticed that many of the primers I have problems with have some type of coloring between the crimp and the primer. In fact most of the Federal Cardboard boxed and PMC I have found are that way for me. What are you doing to deprime them before putting them in the press. I have the Dillon Swagger but don't know how to get the primer out before swagging. What do you do? I just tumble, lube and size the brass, then swage the primers. When reloading I leave out the sizing die since that is already done.

I've never broken a decapping pin on military crimped primers (unless I mixed a berdan primed case in there DOH!) I am to the point though where I hate to size, swage and trim rifle brass for .223. Now I buy that sized, trimmed and ready to go from Scharch when they have it in stock. Much better use of my time.
