I added my comment on the one with the guy rolling front to back and back to front. I noticed it was being reviewed for appropriate content. I know it will never show up. I called them a bunch of clowns.

HSmith, please explain a "modern" firing pin stop radius. Thank you. Blessed Be SharonAnne

Wow! I doubt any such chart exists. I think your best bet would be to write to Jerry Mickeluk(sp). He probably knows more about that than anyone. Blessed Be SharonAnne

if your source has anymore SP2 he would like to be rid of I will gladly help him with his problem.

I ran an open .45 way back when .38 super just started taking over. I ran a 3 chamber comp of my own design. With 200 gr cast bullets I had a lot of lead build up in the comp. It was less with 185s and even less with 175s. The 155s worked so well people thought I had a Super. No lead build up and very flat comp. I forget which powder but was by Accurate Arms. I ran what ever used the most powder, thinking this would make the most gas to work the comp.

back in the 80s,before the rebirth of the .38 Super, the H&G 68 200 gr SWC was THE bullet for IPSC. Loaded over a charge of 5.7g of WW231 it would make major all day long. Very accurate also. It was the pick for NRA Bullseye shooters too but with a teenie charge of Bullseye powder, not 231. I think IIRC the load was 2.7 of Bullseye.

um, just a thought. The pistol on the logo looks like it has a light rail. I thought light rails were verboten.

what's an integer?!? Blessed Be SharonAnne

back in the mists of time before the earth cooled, I worked all the overtime I could get. I bought myself a present; a Dillon RL1050. If I recall correctly it cost $750, so now you have an idea how long ago it was. I have loaded well over 100,000 rds of .45ACP, .38Spl and 9x23. Not many rounds as some 1050 owners go. But I still have it. It will be in service well after I am gone. I agree wholeheartedly with the many who say, buy the press. ANY Dillon. Heck, scoop the Dillon SDB for sale in the classifieds. You will start saving money now and Dillon will keep it in good working order FOREVER! As the one responder did, each 50 you load, put away the amount of $ you saved by reloading. You will quickly have the $ for you Brazos or whatever you ultimately decide upon. You may change your mind about what pistol you want but you will never regret buying a Dillon reloader. And no, I do not get commission from Dillon Precision. Blessed Be SharonAnne

I love interim scores. After day 1 of the 2001 IRC, I was first Lady. By the end of the match I was 4th Lady. Wish I had obtained a print out of first day scores Do NOT count Jerry out! Blessed Be SharonAnne

i have the Cylinder and Slide Ti MS cap and Ti hammer strut in all of my 1911 fire control groups. Have had for about as long as they have been available. I have never regretted it.

you need a full slide assembly, barrel and link, ejector, magazines. Blessed Be SharonAnne

when I did cast, I used a custom Lee 6 cavity, 155 gr SWC .452". I had 2 Lee 20# pots. When the first got low I sat the mold on top of the full pot, loaded the empty pot, then continued casting. Sitting the full mold on the full hot-pot, the mold did not cool too much to adversely affect the next bullets cast. Of course, all sprues and bad bullets went into the pot to be recast. Eventually I found that casting bullets cut into my overtime at work and one days O.T. bought 3 months of bullets, so I stopped casting and worked the overtime. No overtime available now.

Dennis. what guy in AZ? I am in Phoenix and would like to buy 2 double pouches for my SL-V 7 shot speedloaders. Blessed Be SharonAnne

I have been waiting to hear of results. How did it go? What did you do and what results did you obtain??? Blessed Be SharonAnne

Boo, please refer to your original post re: sandpaper. "I...have done amazing damage with sandpaper". The operative word being "DAMAGE". You answered your own question. NO SANDPAPER!

in all of my pistols, regardless of the # of the mainspring, I run the HEAVIEST recoil spring I can with reliable function. Ideally I want the slide speed as close to zero as possible when it impacts the frame. This gives the least muzzle rise, in my experience. YMMV. Blessed Be SharonAnne

as I stated earlier, I run a 15# mainspring in my Open division 9x23 and a 17# in my Ltd division .45. I use Winchester Large Pistol primers (WLP) in my .45 and Winchester Small Rifle primers (WSR) in my 9x23. Since the 15# mainspring sets off the Small Rifle Primers without fail I really suspect the problem resides with primers not fully seated and NOT with the # of the mainspring. Blessed Be SharonAnne

check with the World Health Organization. They classify the health care systems of all countries. I for one will not travel to a country that does not have Level 1 health care. In Africa that limits it to South Africa. Australia is Level 1 as is Japan. No other country in Asia is above Level 3. In Europe it is much better, though Italy is Level 2. The United States of America and Canada are Level 1. If you are ill or injured while traveling you are at the mercy of the health care system of that particular country. A few years back one of the USA Olympic athletes became ill and was hospitalized behind the Iron Curtain. It was Victor Petrenko who supplied the needles, syringes, bandages and clean sheets. He always traveled with his own supply for just such occasions. The reality is Third World health care sucks. If you require surgery you are SKREWED!!! The best you can hope for is to get to the airport and hope you live long enough to get to a Level 1 health care country. Just a thought. SharonAnne RN

I do not carry for a living. I DO however carry a Para P14 and DO bet my life on it. It is also my bedside gun. It is as reliable as any single stack 45 with the benefit of more ammo. Is there some reason you must have a 9mmP? Blessed Be SharonAnne

excellent diagram. really shows the dramatic difference in 5.56 and .223 chambers. I have read that the leades on 9mmNato and 9mm SAAMI are equally as dramatically different. thanks Blessed Be SharonAnne

Thank you Although it does not have diagrams the specs are helpful Blessed Be SharonAnne

If you REALLY want to do it yourself, I suggest getting a Dawson or Cylinder and Slide drop in kit. Each contains a hammer, sear, disconnecter, mainspring and leaf spring. Add a hammer strut and pin and you are good to go. If your P14 has the series 80 type firing pin safety I would add the C&S TIN coated Series 80 trigger pull reduction kit also. If you do this, have a REAL gunsmith do a safety check. As Joe said, leave the firing pin spring alone. It has nothing to do with your trigger 'pull'. Blessed Be SharonAnne
