That's funny. I had the same thing happen last night with the Lone Wolf barrel on my new Glock 21SF. My loads were 230 grain round nose. The Glock barrel handles all ammo without a hiccup. The Lone Wolf definitely has tighter dimensions. The bullet wouldn't fully chamber. I believe the problem is the bulge at the base of the shell. There are full length sizing dies that act on the wholecase. I believe Lee makes them. I may swap out my Dillon sizing die for one. Otherwise I am pretty sure that Redding has a sizing die that uses a ramrod where you push the whole shell through and it sizes the base of the shell missed by regular dies.

No problem. Now I'm eyeing CZs wherever I go. Maks and I beat that pin up pretty good with the PAP. It had to go straight to the trash can when we were done with it.

I will be making it around 8:15-8:30. Can somebody make me their guest if the guys at the counter ask? Usually they don't. I'll bring my EAA PAP and Ruger PC-9.

Agreed. I bought my Colt Match Target from him. Real nice guy.

Rather than trying to get one of those rifles into compliance, check out the EAA PAP. It is Serbian, made by Zastava. It is Jersey compliant. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =141992949

Work has me locked down. It never fails. When you take a Friday off, you are guaranteed to have to work extra hours on Thursday to make up for it. Have fun. Next Tuesday night I will blow off my usual SS gathering and make it to BA. I'll bring my EAA PAP. It's probably nearly as much fun to shoot as your VEPR.

Maks, What time are you going? I was thinking about heading to BA tonight if people were going to show up (unless work forces me to remain chained to my computer). I haven't made it to BA in a while.

Those Colt Pythons have no stopping power!

I agree, unless you reload. The hassle of priming military ammo may not be worth it. For the hassle, you might be better off with the UMC.

From a little distance, it looks a lot like the S&W Sigma series pistol, which I was never a fan of. The controls are a decent mix of existing poly guns. The slide release it flat, glock style, although it is ambidextrous (nice for a lefty like me). The takedown lever is a chunky lever, like Sigs. The thumb safety reminds me of the one on HK USPs. The grips are big, like you'd expect in a 45, but not as big as a Glock 21. I can't endorse it or knock it because I haven't fired it, but if you're interested I would say it looks like a quality pistol and is worth checking out.

They have one behind the counter at Shore Shot. I was looking at it last night.

I'll bite on the Para. They sure don't publicize that fact, since their headquarters is in North Carolina. All Sigs used to be built in Germany. The website isn't specific about which ones are built here now, but some are. Check out the slide engraving on a new Sig. The Ruger may be a little rough for some, but it is the epitome of reliability. For somebody as knowledgeable as Mas Ayoob to recommend it, that's good enough for me. To dismiss a gun simply because it's a Ruger strikes me as snobbish. To each his own...

There are a few (Ruger, Sig and Para). See my prior posts.

The S&W M&P is a nice gun, but i don't think it meets the criteria. It has a metal slide, but the rest is plastic.

I forgot about Para Ordinance. They do make DA 1911's. The trigger on them is actually really nice. I have fired someone's at the range and was impressed with the trigger. I wasn't as impressed with the rest of the gun though. It felt a little cheap. Here is the link though. http://www.para-usa.com/new/product_conceal.php

I am listing only American Made all-metal 45ACP pistols. These guns come in the other standard auto calibers too (i.e. 9mm and .40). Ruger P90 - It's clunky looking, but no less than Massad Ayoob recommends it as the ultimate in reliability, and is easy on the wallet. http://www.ruger-firearms.com/Firearms/ ... 2&return=Y Sig Sauer P220 - Now headquartered in Exeter, New Hampshire. Sigs are known for their quality and reliability, and their price$$$. http://www.sigsauer.com/Products/ShowCa ... oductid=94

Howdy!

I second that, although $1500 is a bit pricey for a gun, so I would add the HK P7. It is functionally nearly identical to the P7M8 and can be had for under $700.

That's good to hear, although it was only one of the 100 or so reasons I decided to leave that town. Newark Ave always seemed to have the highest dog crap/square foot ratio of anywhere I've ever been.

The Hi Power needs more work out of the box if it's new, and costs a few hundred more too. They all have the magazine safety disconnect that negatively affects trigger pull. The first thing gunsmiths do is remove the mag safety.

I have owned both a Glock 20SF and 21SF (same size frames). They are both excellent guns and I regret getting rid of the 21SF. I will be getting another one with my GSSF membership discount soon. You do need at least medium sized hands for the large frame models I mentioned to be a comfortable fit. I know many people don't like the Glock's non-1911 grip angle, but to me it's like the Ruger or Browning 22's (or Luger for that matter). I think they point extremely well. Also, the polymer composition soaks up a lot of recoil. I was firing super stout DoubleTap 10mm loads in my 20SF and never felt like the recoil was overwhelming or I was losing my grip. Try the other brands mentioned, but I wouldn't hesitate to get the Glock if that's what you want.

You know the post's title had me real interested. The actual post... not as much.

ronoverdrive, In case you are interested, I have large pistol magnum primers for sale in the Classified section here.

I would have to disagree on that one. I lived in Jersey City for ten years. It took nearly a year for me to get my initial FID and first permit. After that experience, I realized that I had to go into the Erie street office and badger people to get anything done. Even with that, it was always 2-3 months for a permit. I haven't lived there in six years now. Maybe things have changed for the better with regards to gun paperwork.

Thanks Maks. I initially wasn't sure if it went there since it's not technically guns for sale.
