Shocker

Primers cost the same Brass is a little more for .45 but that's a one-time cost Bullets cost a little more for .45 but you'd have to shop the type you intend to use to see how much. Could be negligible (lead) or significant (JHP).

In IDPA I think a non-.45 1911 would be stuck in ESP which is not a big deal in itself except you'll need to make sure your piece has 10-round mags to be on the same level as the other competitors. A .45 can shoot CDP but that's just to segregate the 8-round .45 shooters from the 10-round smaller caliber shooters.

Good to know although Natchez has some of the highest shipping costs around. Better order a lot.

I like my skateboard tape for grip but it also serves another function for me: when I shoot weak (left) handed my tungsten carbide wedding band scratches the front strap.

Loaded SS.

I thought it was run by MWR (that's why peeps with a CAC get a discount). If not then it shouldn't be affected.

The expected guidance for sequester is everybody (pretty sure MWR as well) will have to take a day off per week. If they're intelligent they'll all take the same day off and operate Dix on a shortened schedule. I don't know that for sure so get your shooting in before the end of April. Cutting funding for MWR outside of sequester is not on the table right now AFAIK but who knows

They posted that on their facebook page and were cleaned out in less than an hour. Not sure why they didn't get my message about telling me privately first... >

FWIW And the Super PAC that kicked in the $2.2M, as I understand it, was Bloomie's not Obama's (although I'm sure there were more than one funding this). Good to see he's atill at it sticking his nose in other states' business.

Yes now Emperor Mike has another representative in his pocket

Huh my 2009 address change has no carry The back of the card says SP 645 (Rev 03/04). Maybe your PD had old cards?

I have a Dawson FO sight, it glows like crazy in any reasonable amount of light, indoors or out. In low/no light matches I have to use the outline of the front sight and a flashlight, the fiber is not visible in that case. FO sights gather light from the sides, I'm sure some models are better at gathering light than others (larger tube, more area exposed, etc etc).

I really like my Springfield but I don't like rails on 1911s personally so out of those I'd vote Colt. But check out the TRP's or Loaded models.

I'm about to jump off the Comcast ship myself, although broadband is still necessary. Has anybody gone from Comcast to the "1.1-15Mbps" DSL? Is it noticably slower? Still work for streaming video? With Comcast I'm getting (measured) anywhere from 5-15Mbps d/l currently. 4Mbps up, although that doesn't matter too much to me.

Those both work for .40 also and I use n320 for .45 as well. The VV is hard to find when the industry is NOT in a tizzy though

Maybe a used Springfield Mil-Spec (PB9151LP)? You get a forged frame with that (although made in Brazil). Then you could add the beaver tail, C&S action kit and machine it for Novaks when you get a bit more $$$.

Not what you're looking for but RTSP has the EMP .40 in their rental listing if you can't find anything else

I've been faxing. 8/10 through so far, retrying every so often. EDIT: now 9/10. Seems some numbers are just busy. What the heck, I'll start emailing too now.

I think it was 300 at 9:30 when the reporter got bored and left

Runyan's site does the same thing, if your zip code is not in his district you can't use the contact form.

Quick and painless. Thanks.
