Tightloop you are right on. I have two Grandkids and I keep telling my son that if I had known that grandkid were this much fun I would have skipped kids and went straight to grandkids.

If Kids are in the picture.... Labs are my first and only choice. They are great companions for adults, and kids and labs go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Good luck Lynn

I carry more now then I use to. A full sized 1911 was a little obvious
and I couldn't find a holster that would allow me to carry it comfortably.
So I was down at the gun shop one day and bought a Spfld. XD40 and
ordered a Dillon master holster, the combination carries much better
for me.

Yes our club just bought one and it works great, they are made to last. They are powder coated and the top of it is epoxy painted with bits of ground plastic (I believe) that gives them a tough durable texture to aid in a none skid surface. They claim that it will activate up to 6 devices and I believe them, we've activated four with it, with no problems. They were used at the 2002 Race Gun Nationals and as far as I know they worked great.

I have a Kimber custom classic that I’m thinking of having a bull barrel installed. The question is, is there any machining done to the slide that would prevent me from switching back to a bushing barrel if I choose to shoot IDPA?

Nate, I've never understood the toilet seat thing. Their grown women and very capable of putting it down themselves. They should be thankful that we remember to lift it.

Travis, I have been using the 200 gr LSWC Laser cast bullets out of my .45, and it has consumed just under 20,000 rds of that bullet and I have found them to be the best cast bullet that I have ever used. Leading is minimal to nonexistent, from light loads to making major.
Good luck.

Quote: from Ted Murphy on 10:12 am on Feb. 3,There is a rulebook and when people violate the spirit of the sport, they earn a FTDR, as per this rulebook.
Ted I think you just quoted the rule that people find hard to swallow. It's the violate the spirit of the sport part that is to subjective, and people don't like being told that they can't do something that way just because someone else defines it as violating the spirit of the sport.
My two cents worth.

A gastroenterologist claims these are actual comments made by his patients made while he was performing colonoscopies:
"Take it easy, Doc, you're boldly going where no man has gone before."
"Find Amelia Earhart yet?"
"Can you hear me NOW?"
"Could you write me a note for my wife, saying that my head is not, in fact, up there?"
"You know, in some states, we're now legally married."
"Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"
"You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out. You do the Hokey Pokey...."
"Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
"If your hand doesn't fit, you must aquit!"
"Hey, Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
"You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?"
"Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

Awesome! That is good news, if it's worth waiting for then I'll waite.

Since I'm not familiar with the powder your using, I'm not sure where the load falls as far as how warm the load is. I have a .357 in a desert eagle and If I don't load close to max, my cases are dented as well. I'm not sure if it because the gun isn't cycling fast enough or what. Good luck.

Is this ammo being fired out of a revolver or a Desert Eagle?

Nolan excellent idea, I have an old and non-functional refer that will be come my powder storage container. Currently the top shelf of my wife’s linen closet has been the storage area for the past 24 years. This will take care of two problems, my wife can have her shelf back and I wont have to pull that refer out of the basement.

Here is what Dan Lilja of Lilja Precision Barrels has to say.
Normal cleaning
For a normal cleaning (after a string of 10-25 shots) after break-in, the above procedure should be used, but stop short of soaking the barrel with the strong copper remover. A good rule of thumb is to stroke the barrel with a brush, one cycle for every shot fired.
Periodic cleaning
It is probably a good idea to use a strong copper removing solvent every 200 rounds, or so, to check the barrel for copper fouling. We do not recommend the routine use of abrasive cleaners for normal cleaning. However they can be used every 500-1000 rounds to remove the carbon build-up (caused by powder fouling) in the throat area of the barrel. To use, wrap a cotton patch around a worn out brush or a cleaning jag and liberally apply the abrasive cleaner to the patch. Short stroke the abrasive for 6" or so in the throat area and one or two full length passes through the barrel. Do not clean the barrel like this for more than 1-2 minutes.
Suggested equipment and solvents
It is important to use an action rod guide when cleaning. The guide aligns the rod with the bore and helps prevent uneven wear in the throat area. Be careful not to raise the handle end of the rod while stroking. This will put a "belly" in the rod that will wear the barrel. We suggest that plastic coated rods, like the Dewey and Parker-Hale, be used.
We've used a number of solvents over the years and have found that Shooter's Choice is excellent at removing powder fouling and Sweets is good for copper removal. Another solvent we've had excellent results with is one made in Billings, Montana by BBS Industries (406-652-2495). This solvent is good at attacking both powder and copper fouling.
For occasional use only, abrasives like J-B paste, Flitz, or RemClean can be used.
Do not use a stainless steel brush in your barrel under any circumstances.
Do not apply a strong copper remover, like Sweets, on a bronze brush. It will ruin the brush and give the false indication that the barrel has copper in it.
For shooters wishing to use moly-coated bullets we do not recommend shooting more than 25 rounds or so without using the normal cleaning procedure outlined above.
