      A few reloading questions

      When I started reloading on my Lee Turret press I disabled the auto index at first. Used the press like four single stage presses. Did this until I got the hang of each step. Once I was comfortable with the process I put the auto index rod back in and took my time at first. I can reload...

      14 year old sister's anti-gun control paper

      Great essay! Her thoughts followed a clear path, brought in relevant facts, and the conclusion was sound.

      Lee Turret question

      I've had two of the cast aluminum pieces (part of the lever which connects the arm and the ram) on the older style press crack. Its good to use some case lube or spray silicone on the casings with the older style to ease some of the pressure. The spent primer removal is better on the classic...

      Lee Turret question

      Yes. I had the older style and its just not as robust. Classic cast press is much better than the older style turret press. I gave my old one to a friend who was reloading on a single stage press.

      classifier question

      Cyprant: Join USPSA. Go to the training with Coach. It will make your first match experience much better. I learned as I shot matches. A course like his would have made it much easier for me and the ROs that did an outstanding job coaching me at the local matches. Safe gun handling is...

      Kimber 1911 ss 5'' barrel

      I paid $550 OTD for a Classic Custom Stainless (70 series) five years ago. Nice gun and a really good deal. Came with 1 mag. $650 should be about right. Check for spalling on the slide and frame (Stainless Steel guns), cracks, erosion, and the breech face for pitting/wear. The casing will...

      I'm wanting a 1911 and dont know what to get!

      Rock Island Tactical or Match. Perhaps an STI Spartan (Armscor frame and STI parts)? Like others have said: What is its purpose? Target shooting, Bullseye, IDPA, USPSA. As a wise man told me: The gun is the cheap part. Feeding it gets expensive. 45 ACP can set you back in higher volume...

      Which pistol do you hate the most.

      I fully agree with the SW Sigma. I actually shot IDPA and started in USPSA with a Sigma years ago. USPSA Limited with a Sigma - cannot believe I just re-lived that moment. I'll never forget the trigger. Pull, keep pulling, just a little more... Then Sprooinggg bang! A friend has a SW SD9...
