Old School

The "unlined" Bianchi thumb breaks I've had wear the finish. Look where the snaps hit the slide and if it's tight the sharp edges of the pistol get worn, Just saying it's so F@cking pretty you don't want to mar it.

Nice find!! Throw that holster away. It will beat up the pistol something royal.

That's what my dad taught me at about 10yo. Works for me. Only thing is my body is out about 20 degrees to the left and I'm a rightey. Breathing is critical. And spread your legs

Thank you for some common sense!!! I didn't want to say anything but it's a blow back design and it happens especially in rapid fire. Thanks!!

John - $1200 plus holy shit! I have one on my truck and you loose a foot of bed length and you're not taking it off to easy

Shame on you Nick!!! If you exhibit any problems give me a shout. You know I have loads of balls!

Glad you found the solution. I have a bud that is a virtual Savage expert (tricking them out). That's what he does. If you have any further problems let me know. BTW he has about 95 of those balls laying around but he has 5 rifles...LOL

I bet she can't tell the difference between 22 and my standard 24,5 load

That is incredible shooting for a BHP off hand at 23yds. Simply incredible!

Good post Rob - It is amazing how little crimp you need with the proper bullet tension even in a semi-auto. I don't crimp at all in my target rounds because there is no canalure. OP- If I remember correctly you don't live too far away. If you want me to look at your die set-up send me a PM.

So what is the ultimate goal for this clunker?

I bought an X-Caliber barrel. The company is a recent start up by old McGowan personel. Looks real good and delivery is quick. Let you know when I shoot it. I'll boriescope it and let you know too.

You just moved her to the 9mm too quickly. Guess you just didn't want her to shoot as, she may show you up.

Just buy the AA upper and be done with it.

Your opinion is respected. But I think you are absolutely wrong. If your trend of though was carried out, dry fire practice is also useless also.

I think the answer is obvious. The ability to train with a pistol of the same weight (real close), same ergonomics, and exactly the same trigger. The sights can even be made identical. I have a AA upper for a G34. I find they must be very clean and AA recommends they be run wet which requires more cleaning...LOL

All excellent practices. I do pretty much exactly the same. Only thing I never load that many times. Never have to. 223 brass is all over.

C - Make sure you use snap caps if you go this way. You're not a newbie. Yes practice fundamentals. But develop your rifle and live fire as much as you can. This ain't airsoft.

Bag the rifle solid and check it's capabilities. Do this too while working up your loads. Once you have your loads...Practice. practice practice. Even though that is a beautiful rifle I doubt you know it's true capabilities. Maybe it can be a one hole rifle, maybe needs to be bedded? Maybe it likes long ammo. Develop your loads then practice.
