A tuned 1911 race gun should not jam at all. There could be many factors such as reloaded ammo, mag or limp wristing to name a few. Sounds more like people buying accessories and tinkeing to make the guns look cool, but not being properly fitted..

Just think of all the opportunities you have had to visit gun shops across NJ. Now I have to waste gas just to keep up. I hope it works out for you. You have a .357 to buy yet.

My original was in Woodbridge. They had it back in 6 weeks.

I don't think so

you and I are going to get along just fine :mrgreen:

Case them and place them in the back. You can not keep them in there all the time in NJ, so a vault is overkill.

They are a little confused in the Freehold Dick's.

It is a very helpful chart. I hope some members benefit from it.

There can never be enough Jarheads around.

I disagree with ebay deals. I have got some really good deals there. You have to be patient and know what you are looking for. I won a SDB in 40 s&w for $200, ready to load on. RCBS Uniflows for $30. RCBS scals for $20. It takes time and patience. The SDB is more expensive for dies. As I stated I think a good turret press is a worthwhile investment to start with. Even if you upgrade to a progressive, you will always have a need for the turret. Get a good loadig manual and start reading. It will go a long way. Lyman #49 is a good read.

Because the Army can't shoot, they only write books. :roll:

Building a rapport and trust with the range and shop is always a good thing. For a buck or two you are right, suport the local guy and he should support you.

Semper Fi brother, welcome to the forum

No first hand experiece, but anyone who seems to own one loves them. For the money I would pick one up.

He was a brilliant man with designs way ahead of availible technology.

Practice practice and more practice. Keeping a consistant grip is a big help. Some people tend to squeeze the grip tighter as they squeeze the trigger. The grip should be constant. The trigger when squeezed, should break without the shooter knowing it. If you know it will break you tend to try and compensate for the recoil before the round fires. Practice practice and more practice. Slow and steady fire control, not rapid fire.

For any new shooters who may have questions about why they can't hit the bull. Trigger control and grip means a lot.

I really need to go there again. See what they have done with the place.

Fantastic site, thank you

You sure do get around, don't you?

Hey, you can't go wrong with a good used 686 or GP 100. I will let you shoot mine again while NICS is still open.

Gun owners across the country have been stocking for the Zombie Apocolypse. Time to do a Resident Evil marathon.

If it wasn't for stupid people the rest of us would not realize how intelligent we are. That being said, we seem to be outnumbered by stupid people.

If you look on Midway USA you will find starter kits and prices. One question is do you want to do volume reloading or recreational reloading? Then, how much are you willing to spend? One will dictate the other to a degree. I have Dillon SDb's and RCBS Roock Chucker's I am interested in getting a turret. On my SDB I can crank out an easy 300 rds/hr. They are progressives and single stages. If I were to only have one press it would be a turret, as it would allow me the control for single stage rifle and speed up single stage pistol. As a minimum you need.. A press dies powder measure case cleaner scale caliper case trimmer for rifles a good reloading manual or three (never have too many) primers brass powder bullets I am not one for typing a book, but I am willing to help. Fell free to ask any questions or PM me and I will help you all I can .

I have liked Lonegan for years. He will make a good Gov. If we all get behind him there is a good chance.
