Although I’m certain I’m not as physically fit as you seem to be I think we’ve enjoyed some similar hobbies. When I was young I was involved in karate and Kung fu, I’ve been shooting my whole life and love bicycling (road type). Have you considered photography? It’s another type of shooting. I discovered and explored things and places I never never would have otherwise. It can be physically demanding or not at all. Unfortunately, like most hobbies it can become a money pit.

I just did this recently and I didn't like the results. My brass was dusty from old overused media. The bullets ended up looking and feeling dirty. A couple rounds did't feed well. Probably my thumb against the slide but the dirty feeling brass couldn't have helped. I feel it's better to just take the extra step and remove the lube.

Mine is a little loose. I only have one old STI tube to try it on. I got the tube used so I don't know what's been done to it before I got it.

I tried coloring my .38 sc brass once for identification. Ended up making a mess of it. Probably not much different then images in original post. I think this link relates http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?66487-Coloring-brass-cases I kept using the brass and eventually it returned back to normal.

I’m not sure about non-chlorinated brake cleaner but chlorinated brake cleaner will remove paint from painted grips. I’d also be careful to keep it away from sights with painted dots. It’s probably not a bad idea to keep strong solvents away from the special coating on glass optics as well.

Google or Bing search “Electrician Tool Bag”. Lots of magazine pockets!

I had a squib years ago from a round I loaded and the round did have powder. As far as I know my powder check didn’t give any indication of problems either. How you might ask? Media with Nu Finish car polish got stuck in the bottom of the brass. I used to add Nu Finish car polish or Dillon Rapid Polish to my media. I was tumbling my brass in new media and remembered I hadn’t added the polish to my media so I opened my tumblr (Vibratory Case Cleaner) and put some in. Lesson learned: NEVER ADD POLISH AFTER BRASS IS IN MEDIA! If you’re going to use polish always put it in media and run tumbler until it is fully dispersed then add brass. I feel a little dumb sharing this story but it may help somebody.

Do you use an air-brush? I can't find a "spray" dykem on their website.

Bingo marker.

Thanks. I used a Nikon D300 but I think it's Photoshop that helps 'em look a little nicer. Saturation, crop, etc.

These were just sitting on my computer. I took them at the '09 USPSA Natoinals. Thought I'd share.

I had a similar problem. It was solved thanks to this forum. Here is the thread. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...c=71672&hl=
