      Reloading Milestone

      I wish I had kept a record from the early years. I remember my first reloads were 38 special about 1987. I looked up the data, through them together and the next day pulled them apart. In hindsight they would have been fine. Decided to read as much as I could before doing it again. It's not so...

      Tig Welding

      I'm not a gunsmith but I have been a welder since October 1982. IMO INGarand has the best fix. Heat not a great idea on hardened steel. If it were me I would locktight a screw in it and let it dry. Then I would cut it off 1/16 ish long and peen it enough to hide the the thread at the surface...

      "Best" 9mm ammo for subcompact/micro carry guns

      I had the same question last September. My EDC is a G19, I bought a G43 and an ankle holster while attending my sons wedding. The HST sounds like what the dealer I got the 43 from recommended. Now that I think about it I don't think I ever shot the 43. I bought my wife the G42 a few years back...

      This is why i choose to carry...

      I think we are missing the reason we carry. The ONLY reason we carry is to keep someone from killing us. If you get pushed down... stay down. Shut up walk away tuck your tail between your legs. Run if you can whatever. The only reason your pistol comes into play is if you don't you die.

      brass cleaning with stainless steel pins anyone do it for profit?

      My brass is Purple?

      Your not the only one that has done this . I had a bunch of 9 mm in the oven at the lowest temp possible 150 ish? My daughter wanted a pizza and cranked it up to 400 and they changed color. I pitched them. Easier to sleep that way.

      indiana ltch in Chicago

      Keymaster just made my day. Maybe there is hope. I know there are a lot of good cops out there. But is there enough to overcome the bad ones. I try not to have any interactions with LE but all it takes is a finder bender .

      indiana ltch in Chicago

      With Chicago being as anti gun as they are it will be years before they realise good guys with guns is a good thing. With their residents just getting their ccw,s I'm guessing they will cherry pick every bad encounter they can to make it look like a mistake.
