fatty

aren't the legion series triggers just SRTs with sig's action enhancement package?

thats a nice looking lower. is that ambi?

That's a bummer that STI's finishes sucks... I read on some 1911 forum that STI was/will be bought out?

Thanks Jimmy. In this price range its hard to make a decision.

Anyone have an STI Lawman 5.0 (or a 4.0)? If so, how do you like it and how would you compare it to other 1911's in the $1,300 price range? Fit / finish? Accuracy? It's around the same price as the Springfield TRP but I can't really find any good reviews on this gun

Is the barrel ramp nice and smooth? polished? Did the failure above happen on a fully loaded magazine? It's odd that your malfunctions started occurring after so many rounds.

yup.. I keep a copy of that ATF letter in my rifle bag

nice rifles guys

The fsc556 is pretty blasty but I still like mine a lot. Probably be hard to tell the difference unless you're doing a lot of rapid fire drills My next upper will likely just have an 11 degree target crown

are these still for sale anywhere? that's a great price

I'll keep that in mind - thanks. It's nice to see that powder seems to be more available online these days

that is awesome.

Ah good to know. Thanks Vlad

Do your reloads get chronographed at matches?

great write up! Hoping to make it to the IDPA event in april with my 686. My round-nose 38spl bullets (Bob, thanks for that suggestion) should be good to go by then One question for you guys that reload 38spl: In trying to reach 105PF, I would need to be below the recommended starting load with Titegroup and my 158gr RN (copper plated) rounds. I've gotten good accuracy and consistency with 3.5 grains TG under the 158 plated bullet and is supposed to be rated for 111PF Would I be in any real danger if say I dropped the powder charge slightly from 3.5 to 3.2gr? (bullet stuck in the barrel?)

I KNOW KUNG FU

I wonder what brand that "special" 1/4 inch plate was speed definitely makes a world of difference with armor. check out this video of a 22-250 round punching straight thru 22-250 cartridge @ 4,000+ fps! (ceramic plates stopped it)

whoa I didn't know such a thing existed. thanks for the info I'm considering getting a powder measure for my turret press and the powder cop die would seem to be good insurance if I decide to speed things up

great info HE... but I wonder if Dr Gary Roberts has tested the newer ar500 plates. It's pretty well known (as well as listed on their website) that their standard level III isn't good to stop M193, but their III+ does. Level III+ isn't an NIJ standard, but still worth testing if he can. I know it's not standard testing protocol, but here's a video of the III+ plate stopping M193 out of a 22" bolt action rifle @ 7 yards. More velocity than any AR setup LINK

Yeah - I've got a banshee PC as well. I find it to be really comfortable.

Ty whats your opinion on Banshee plate carriers?

ceramic plates can get super expensive... I have a set of AR500 Level III+ (w/ build-up spall coating; multi-curve) for sale in the marketplace if you want to check it out. AR500Armor also sells kevlar lined spall protection guards for steel plates. Lots of testing videos available on youtube if you're concerned about fragments

I've wanted to leave NJ long before I became a gun owner.
