Pistol Reloading Issue I cant figure out

If it is blazer brass you are using or the ones you are having trouble with, that is the problem. The brass is thinner and it needs a undersize die to load it. If you use a plated or lead bullet this will go away. The Blazer brass is made to use 0.356" bullets. If not then just order a Lee undersized 9mm carbide die and you will be able to load any brass.

1911 carriers step inside...

I have carried a 1911 Government for nearly 30years. I had various versions over the years, short of the big name customs. I always preferred the full size version and in the only calber that matters, 45acp. I had been building 1911s and custom rifles for a long time when I had my motorcycle accident in 2009. After I recovered enough to start trying to relearn how to, well....be me, I had to relearn how to build guns with one arm and leg. I picked up a decent ATI American Classic to fool with. Wound up going full tilt on it and setting it up for my new reality.
I set my pistol up with a short trigger, undercut under the trigger guard and blending the beavertail as far as dimensionally possible and running thin Alumagrips. Extended slide release and safety let me run the pistol with minimal movement from firing position. Setting it up like this, along with a 10-8 rear and XS Big dot front let me operate it nearly as fast as I could with two hands previously. I do have many other pistols, but non fit as well nor am I as effective with. I am most accurate with a 1911 and I honestly just very much love them.
I edc it in a Maxpedition Versipack using their accessory holster inside the handgun pouch. Holsters don't work for me in a wheelchair lol. Round in the chamber and 4 additional mags. It's got in excess of 40k rounds through it, never fails, it's as accurate as you could want and I doubt I'll ever carry anything else.

50 Shades of ODG

Wow.. I’m building my girl a 14.5” AR and was going to go with the traditional Geissele MK4 DDC rail and try to match that, but these are seriously incredible looking!
I missed the mark on my attempt at an OD greenish build, but it looks cool in full sunlight. No where near as cool as these green anodized components. I know… it looks black in every pic I have of it.

Is that paint or Cerakote?

I've had several parts stripped and re-anodized ODG by a local(ish) company…only an hour drive each way! LoL

Like this upper and hand guard I had done for my daughter:

…and my preferred laser engraver is just down the road from the anodizer, so I got them to do a little UNT Eagle on there for her too.

Go Green!

KAC vs Radian Model 1 vs JP enterprises ctr-02

The best of all worlds..............................
KAC LPR

I have one of the earlier ones with a heavier profile barrel; this gun will do all that you need & then some, & it appears to be available & Kelley's is a very reliable source...........I've bought several guns from him.

While the JP might be a tad better in absolute, pure accuracy, the KAC LPR's don't leave much on the table in real world performance, IMHO, as a all around, do all rifle.

I had a few of the original Mod 1 variant, they were excellent shooters. I believe they had Bartlein barrels in them, but I don't know if that stayed through to the Mod 2 model; you'd have to ask @Jack_L about that. I am honestly surprised that there are any of those NIB for sale at dealers. You'd have $4K+ in it by the time you swapped the rail for an MLOK URX4 and another $3K in glass, etc., that makes for an awfully pricey small frame.
