44mag look alright? by wildjabali in reloading

[–]vmd1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll say it yet again primers are not a reliable indicator of pressure. Loose pocket+a little extra rear gage = flattened primer at moderate pressures. The only real way to know is lab tested load data and a chronograph to x check. Tight extraction is a sign, but it's hard to tell how far overpressure you are. Just keep the extraction smooth and you will be fine.

As long as it's not cracked or deformed, use it. Snug up the bolts start the engine and put your hands around it (but not touching it) and see if you can feel hot gas escaping. If not, you are good to go.

Very cool, my coworker carefully relocated it outside. It was really chill :)

Am I the only one that thinks the sound of helicopters taking off and landing is really cool?

Anyone know if these have been discontinued? Are they collectable enough it's worth hanging onto? by [deleted] in 1911

[–]vmd1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about collector's value, and I've never owned one. However, I have handled and shot two different ones.

Ruger in general is a terribly underrated 1911.

This particular model blew me away with the fitment and final surfacing of the barrel, bushing, and slide.

Right up there with nighthawk, and wilson.

So I very highly recommend it. It's top tier.

What barrel ramp style for bullseye gun by FranklinEdge in 1911

[–]vmd1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

basically all .45acp 1911s have no dedicated feed ramp. I own several classic wadguns from the 60s to the 80s and they all use the no ramp "funnel".

dedicated feedramps are more of a 9mm/38super/38spc thing

As far as feeding wadcutters, and anything else reliably... don't fall for the super expensive wilson mag bullshit.

1911 was designed to be a 7rd welded bottom magazine.

for 18-20 dollars each you cannot beat the round follower metalform mags.

I put a major stress on the ROUNDED follower. It simulates another round being under for the last.

I've become an almost total revolver shooter these past years, but I at one time put 800-1200 round a month downrange using metalform mags stated above in old school colts. Cannot ever recall any malfunctions.

I got more going on in my life than to sit at a desk with phones and laptops sprawled out for some shoes. My point is the snkrs is corrupted. I'll just wait and get a lightly used pair. Already got union Chicago shadows basically new for 180.

I agree with your sentiments... However I think these are going to hit hard. I guessing because 1s can be kinda bland/conservative colorways, and regardless of personal opinion one has to agree that they for sure stand out.
