Looking to purchase my first 1911 pistol. For the past few years I’ve had my eye on a Springfield TRP. Handled one today at the LGS…as well as a Dan Wesson Valor.

Is there anything else I should be looking at in the $2200 price range? Definitely want full size with front slide serrations.

I’ve got a rifle that’s got a few surface rust spots. I’d like to rattle can paint it because I don’t have any equipment to do anything more. I also have to paint the barrel so Aluma-Hyde II is out (only 300*f rated).
What’s the best option for a durable rust resistant option?

Looking to learn some different processes and looking for some shot out barrels to practice on. Let me know what you have and if we can work something out.

Biden's pardons just got a lot worse. We thought commuting the sentences of all those corrupt democrats that hurt and stole millions from American citizens was bad enough; meanwhile Biden thinks heck, let's get a bunch of people off of a death row.

Biden Mulls Commuting Sentences of All 40 Federal Death Row Inmates After Trump Promises to Accelerate Federal Executions | The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila

President Biden is weighing a historic decision to commute the sentences of all federal death row inmates, a move influenced by religious and civil rights advocates. Discover the implications of this potential shift.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bomber, Dylann Roof, the man who fatally shot 9 parishioners at a church in South Carolina, and Robert Bowers, the man who carried out a mass shooting at Tree of Life Synagogue, are all currently on death row.

Biden has now pardoned over 9000 people.

Note: Names in [ ] are defendants whose conviction or death sentence have been reversed by the courts but the reversal is not yet final, or who are awaiting capital retrials or resentencings after an initial conviction or death sentence was overturned. Those awaiting retrial or resentencing are marked with a caret (^). From time to time, this list may include defendants whose cases are marked with an asterisk (*). This indicates that the defendant has received a verdict of death from the jury, but the judge has not yet issued a formal sentence. In the federal system, the judge is obliged to follow a unanimous jury recommendation. (Source: Federal Capital Habeas Project.)
Because of different definitions of what constitutes being “on death row,” some organizations such as the Federal Death Penalty Resource Counsel or the Bureau of Justice Statistics may have a slightly different list of those currently under federal sentence of death. The DPIC total includes individuals whose capital convictions and/or death sentences have been overturned and who face continuing jeopardy of the death penalty until their retrial or resentencing proceedings are completed, although those individuals do not have a valid death sentence and are presumed innocent of the death penalty.
** Has co-defendant, as noted, also on death row.
*** States in bold have abolished the death penalty.
+ Has co-defendant(s) not on death row.
*States without their own death penalty law when the federal sentence was imposed. Illinois, Maryland, Connecticut, and Virginia no longer have the death penalty, but the federal death sentences in each state came when the state’s death penalty was still in effect.

juice-barrel · Wednesday at 4:32 PM

Looking for some advice/thoughts on this load. Broke in a new barrel this weekend. Groups were great, SD not so much. Most of the details below. I included photos of the composite group and the 8 shot group. Not sure what happened with the literal flier, might have been me, might not have.

I'm not sure if I should just chalk this up to barrel break/cold weather or not. Not going to lie, I was expecting a lower SD with how well it was grouping. The 5x5 groups were the 32nd to 56th shots through the new bore. I shot another 17 shots of a different load after the 5x5 group, then the 8 shot group, so shots 74-81.

Oh, and btw, I was getting pressure signs with the suppressor (OCL Polonium); heavy bolt lift and some ejector swipe. Here is the break-down of the suppressor groups. From my limited research, I guess this is a thing where some suppressors will cause pressure signs with an otherwise normal load. I have a Silencerco Omega to try out next time.

Shot a 5 shot group (great group - 0.3 MOA no pressure signs)
Shot a 5 shot group and had pressure signs, group was terrible, worst of the day
Cleaned chamber/barrel
Shot 5 shot group pressure sings went away, good group 0.5 MOA
Shot 2 more, pressure came back, sadly took the suppressor off and put it away
Shot 8 more shots no pressure signs with brake

Right now, I'm leaning to loading another 50 of the exact same load and retesting (with brake and Omega suppressor). I don't live close to the range and with the family I don't get many days at the range, so I try to bring a lot of ammo for thorough testing/practice, even if it means using more components than I need to.

5x5 and 1x8 groups for a total of 33 shots
Avg. Velocity: 2829 fps
Velocity SD: 12.7 fps
Case: Virgin Alpha
Primer: CCI 450 OEM
Powder: 32.5 gr. Varget
Bullet: Berger 105 Hybrid Target
Distance to lands: ~0.055
COAL: ~2.535
Barrel: Proof 6 GT 7.5 Twist (pretty sure Proof has the .120 FB)
Muzzle Device: 6mm Hellfire Match
Range: 101 yards
Ambient Temp: 37 degrees Fahrenheit
Chronograph: Garmin Xero mounted to ARCA
All loads weighed on A&D FX120i

I've been working on starting to reload for 8.6 blk and figure it would be good to start a thread and share information specific to reloading.

Q has some tech data posted on their website here - https://liveqordie.com/86-technical-data/

Cartridge Print - https://store-fwcq7xdl4a.mybigcommerce.com/content/8.6BLK CARTRIDGE.pdf

Chamber Print - https://store-fwcq7xdl4a.mybigcommerce.com/content/8.6BLK CHAMBER.pdf

The first hurdle was figuring out a way to resize brass since factory brass I'd imagine is a ways out. I did manage to get my hands on a set of prototype 8.6 blk reloading dies that I'll be using.

Left is a Q head stamped piece of 8.6 blk brass, the right is once fired Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor

I noticed at first I was getting some ripples in the neck when I did a full length resize and neck up from 6.5 to 8.6 all in one step.

Running the brass through an Annealeez proved to give much better results when pushing the shoulder back.

Where can I buy a tikka magnum action? I’d rather not buy a whole rifle, strip it down for the action and then try to find somebody that’s looking for tikka parts?

Duc · Oct 23, 2011

I was in bed with a blind girl last night and she said that I had the biggest 'member' she had ever laid her hands on.
I said "You're pulling my leg."

I saw a poor old lady fall over today on the ice!!
At least I presume she was poor – she only had $1.20 in her purse.

My girlfriend thinks that I'm a stalker.
Well, she's not exactly my girlfriend, yet.

A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking behind my back.
He says what do you expect? You're in a wheel chair.

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature.
She said she would like to come back as a cow.
I said, "You're obviously not listening."

The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst.
So, I went back to the thrift shop and got all of her clothes back.

At the Senior Citizens Center they had a contest the other day. I lost by one point:
The question was: Where do women mostly have curly hair?
Apparently the correct answer was Africa.

There's a new Muslim clothing shop opened in our shopping center, but I've been banned from it after asking to look at some of the new bomber jackets.

You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles but at least they drive slowly past schools.

Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche and mentioned it on Facebook.
I said, "I can't wait for the new 911 to arrive!"
Next thing I know 4,000 Muslims have added me as a friend.

The Red Cross have just knocked at my door and asked if I could help towards the floods in Pakistan.
I said I would love to, but our garden hose only reaches the driveway.

Hey guys, I got a couple other threads going on right now but this is totally unrelated. I got my 17-year-old daughter a Ruger American Gen 2 6.5 cm. They come with a 20-in barrel so they're a pretty compact gun. She is used to shooting but I wanted to get something that she could shoot really comfortably as much as she wanted, and deer hunt with. Generally speaking, we don't shoot very far, but I have a friend who we hang out with a lot and he's always inviting us out to a Long range range. 0-1000.

So here's the deal, I'm really not familiar with this cartridge although he is. He is really pushing me to put a 3 to 15 power scope on this but that seems huge to me. Granted what I'm familiar with (2x7 or 3x9) won't be able to do much out there on the big range.

I'm just curious what most of you guys would set your daughter up with for scope power? Im trying to find something that could hunt close well, while also stretching out a little bit to have some fun and not overwhelming and ruining the utility of this compact gun.

Where do you think you would land?

SBR/pistol barrel length???

So I'm waiting for an SBR stamp and trying to decide what barrel length to go with...

11.5", 12.5", 13.9"

Is there really that much difference in performance... will the shorter end of this range be neutered in MV and make way more gas and noise or are they all fairly similar
It will be a 223 wylde chamber, most likely always have an OCL Polonium suppressor on it and most likely be shooting 60 soft points if they'll group as I have a case of those. It would be a do all set up with a 1-10× optic that I should always have in the vehicle with me for coyotes or self defense

So one day at the top of the heap did he just decide to demand blowjobs and sex for over time - from male and female underlinings alike or has he been a corrupt sexual predator his entire career?

So if one has to suck sick for over time how is NYPD any different than a prostitution ring ?

But good news after all these years of whoring out subordinates he will keep his pension and face no criminal charges.
