Have some on the way. Thanks. My son accidentally left my range bag on the shooting table this afternoon, at the range. When we went back to retrieve it, it was already gone. Luckily we were just shooting our Ruger semis, today. So, only six mags and some cleaning gear were in there...

Great article. Thanks for posting. Here is a little snippet that further backs my experience and claims: "We shot them until they were too hot to hold – hot enough that a chambered round would cook off in ten to fifteen seconds. We also tried leaving rounds chambered before temperatures...

I have to use the same sight picture as #3 with my 5" at 20yds. I prefer #2 sight picture @ 20-25yds - mine shoots about 5" low at those distances.

:roll: No... the lacquer will not heat up and melt from firing your gun. No... the lacquer will not foul your feed ramp, your barrel, or your slide. And finally - No... you "didn't" nearly ruin a Sig P220 shooting the Russian junk because of the lacquer. I've fired well over 50,000 rds...

I'll take this. Sent you a PM

Thanks Mike. And you're right. I do enjoy modding and working on them a bit, especially if the problems have simple solutions. Helps pass the time and adds a little sentimental value to it.

I believe the front sight is a tad high. I've only shot this Federal bulk through it, though. I'll be putting some 230gr Winchester bulk through the paces later this week to see how the two compare. After a hundred or so rounds of that I should have a pretty good idea of what height to use.

Here's how she looks now as well as the crown.

I have already made a post listing some of the first problems on my SR1911, but will add to that list a sloppily fit bushing and an unfinished muzzle crown. In my first 75 rds through the Ruger - accuracy was on par with a 12guage using bird-shot @ 25yds. Well, last night, I finished up the...

If I were you I would contact Ruger and send them a photo. In the off chance something else should need work and does have to go back to Ruger, you don't want them seeing something of that nature which may cause them to question "your" handling of the weapon and consider it "abuse", then refuse...

Poor girl. Let me assure you, you've provided some prime entertainment for me here, tonight. Thanks for making this posting experience a memorable one. I hate to see you will not be replying to me any further, as I thoroughly enjoyed your company and deep insight. Sleep well and may all your...

I see you're from Alabama. Projecting a little, maybe?
