[Anyone use one of those gyroflex balls to build up hand strength?]

To start my gyroflex without the string I just swipe mine along the carpet in 3-4' arc.

[.40 X 180gr Plated Or Jacketed]

Looking into "extreme" bullets, formerly known as West Coast. I used to shoot them and LOVE the shape. Those things fed like melted butter. The prices online are a little cheaper than others for 1k, I'll report back as to what they can do large order, delivered.

Could you please post a link for the "formally known as West Coast" bullets? I have been looking ever since hearing they were back in business.

[Replacement Blade For Para Rear Sight]

I am looking for a replacement blade for a rear sight for a Para 1640 limited. I contacted Para and was told that the sights were made by LPA and that I should look in Brownells for a replacement blade. I can not find any replacement blades only complete sights. I do not want to completely replace the rear sight until I have got a chance to put some rounds through it.

[Mag Well/ Basepad For Preban Para Mags]

I am looking for a mag well and basepads to work with preban Para magazines. I have a 1640 with a Dawson mag well. I live in state, that shall remain nameless, where new large cap mags are not legal, so I am limited to the preban versions. The preban mags, which are a couple of mm shorter than the new versions, do not seat correctly. They do not feed well and/or drop free.

What set up did people use before the ban expired? Is there a better mag well than the Dawson to use with the preban mags, or can I just relieve the Dawson back far enough to make the basepads seat correctly. On the Dawson sights it says that there basepads do not work with the short mags.

[Limited Options For Ma]

I am looking for suggestions onLimited guns that are legal and available in MA. I am using a SW1911 in Limited 10 at the moment. What are other folks using in the area? SVI has a Mass compliant version listed but where can you get them? Another option might be a used Para with serious work. Any smiths in the area who specialize in Paras?
