Cool guns. I have one, they are top heavy. The mag button is annoying, the single action trigger is nice with an excellent reset. Mags are pricey and are limited in their capacity. there is someone out there who sells the mag modifications to allow a few more rounds.

I use the tripp 9mm 10 rounders in my STI 9mm. Work like a champ and lock the slide back every time. I have not had any misfeeds, i am MG JHP's.

I would find a way to hide my 629 in my underwear if i had too. how about a machete? At least you'd have a fighting chance. Ohhh. and we do have bears here in NM...big black ones.

I have a dpms creedmor. shoots wonderful and the hornady ammo is consistent. loads up well in the pmags.

You need to polish the feedlips and the inner diameter of the tube for maximum speed.

Get ready for some pain. the mouth hurts, especially if those things are impacted, i.e. need to remove some bone and split them... Avoid a dry socket...at all cost. do not do anything strenous for about a week, no lifting or exertion... If you are on pain meds, (percocet, et al.) use a stool softener even straining at the toilet will yield a dry socket.

So you were like 50 when you had it done?

I found a pic. pm and i'll send it to you. It was most definitely him. It was on an al jazeera linked site.

Yes! Amen!

I cancel if we have lightning, which in southern new mexico happens during the monsoon season or if have had a severly heavy rain and the bays are flooded. It is just not safe to shoot at our range during those times. Snow.....people here just don't travel when it snows and you don't want to be driving on the local interstate... I think i've cancelled 2-3 matches in 7 years. rm

Sorry you didn't like the superbowl comment. Our nationals highlights what we are as a sport! If it really didn't matter then why would we have them? Cycling has the tour de france, most never compete in it, but still look to see who won. Competition pure and simple.

It's our Superbowl. duh.

Looks like an italian gun made a number of years ago....started with an 'M'.... Cool looking though, it gets away from the traditional look.

We let Michael vick play football again..........Humans do make stupid mistakes.

Not alsays so. My other comp guns all work very well with plated bullets. I also use a custom open 40 S&W on an STI frame, a single stack switch top with 9mm and 38 super barrels, and a single stack .45 with a Clark drop in comped barrel. All shoot great and the plated bullets keep from getting lead in the bore from an exposed lead core of the FMJ base. I now only shoot jacketed hollow points or plated bullets in my comped guns to keep from havihg to scrape lead out of the comps. I have also observed others using plated bullets in comped high velocity guns with great success. Im just speaking from experience with my SV open guns, none of which would run plated bullets. Impacts were all over the place. the bullet would stay intact but past 7 yards the accuracy was horrible.

Sorry the search function is not working today. does anyone know which safariland model 002 holster will fit the S&W 327? It is the Jerry M. model with the scandium frame and unfluted Ti cylinder and Ti barrel. Thanks for any help. Robert M.

Ammo and the sight. Plated bullets do not work well with comped guns and higher velocities.

Gee, Have fun at that match.

They depreciate like a rock. I'd buy a 2-3 year old genesis but expect to still fall like a rock!

buy the dawson kit, tune them yourself. isn't hard to do!

I took my disc out of the 650 and polished it up well. that prevents any primers from not dropping out if they didn't get seated. I generally check the disc if i have a stoppage and make sure they have dropped.

I had a primer set off the whole stack in my 650. primer got stuck in the index ring (the round plate with holes in it) tried to refeed as it didn't drop. Have you seen the part in Saving private Ryan where tom hanks gets his bell rung? that was me.

for single stage press reloading. any of the major brands work well, for progressives, use the dillon. I started off with the lee loadmaster then the 1000. I had nothing but problems, i couldn't go more that 20 rounds without something screwing up. I gave both presses away and bought a 650. On the Lee, the primer feeding system is lousy and cheap, Many vital parts are plastic that when deformed are unusable.. And you have to pay to have those parts replaced, I hate wasting money on crap that doesn't work, then having to spend more money in the end to get a good product. I have not regretted buying any of my dillons, 550 650 and 1050. Out of those, the 1050 was the most finicky, I lost the index bar off the backside and the thing works wonderful.
