You think the lines at Academy were long...I didnt check the price on them. I've already got a few
Great, get the 10.5 and work up some loads for it!! I have some extra followers for the gi mags. File and fit.. i have a pile of 45 colt bullets. Will use the smaller mags for hunting. I wanted a side charger but I got a super deal from war buff on the zip stick. Also some great extras. I have an extra side charger upper, may swap it.As with my (ex) 50Beowulf I used mags that were of lesser capacity because of my hunting style. My gun was a hog gun watching a trail,road crossing,from a small tent blind,or ladder stand.
I found no need to have more than 5 shots TOTAL,in my gun so I used smaller mags. Instead of using a steel 20 that held 7 I used a 10 that held 4. They were somewhat shorter and allowed the gun to ballence better and felt even more compact.
After watching your inputs re. a 450B pistol,I just might put one together. I have a spare complete pistol lower with $300 worth of "good stuff" installed in it. --- SAWMAN
Hunting/gun related, picked up this today. Honda 4 trax. Dinosaur, has a kick start. Rough looking but runs great. Needs some tlc.
Don't know much about 4 wheelers. Seems to run drive good. Plastic is all screwed up, front brake is shot. Don't know if i made a mistake getting this. I'm good with motorcycles so I should be ok.I have the same one - gave it to my dad and it has sat in his barn for 2 years unused -kickstarted it last week with 2 strokes. Front brake was stuck on the front right wheel, but ran great other than that. Didn’t have time to fix the brake.
Just remember that your average target will be 5'10", so dont sweat the small stuff. Go have fun with itI shot my new gun.
Should have researched how to aim with its sights but also had trouble because I was used to the sights on a different gun.
I have 5 bullets left and cannot and will not find good priced ammo for a while ( my local manufacturer says because all will be focusing on 9mm not 380 acp. )
I am not a good/natural shooter.
Feel dejected about it.
I guess will have to practice hard to get decent at something that I love and wish I had better skills.

Thank you.Just remember that your average target will be 5'10", so dont sweat the small stuff. Go have fun with it
Everybody I saw at my last steel plate shoot who had a red dot reflex sight on a pistol was missing and hating life. Acquire the front sight, put it on target and then let both eyes open. Muscle memory and hand/eye coordination will take over from there. If you need a high visibility front sight it's hard to go wrong with a bright light gathering fiber optic set up. For low light conditions I'd rather have a light/laser combo backed up by Trijicon glow in the dark sights. Maybe a compromise would be a fiber optic front sight with a dab of glow in the dark paint on top? If it's stupid but works then it's not stupid. My buddy Charles wears glasses and he painted his M9 sights with glow in the dark paint and swore by itThank you.
I am also having trouble with eyes getting old.
Near sightedness, so I have trouble due to lack of experience.
I used to have perfect vision.
If any of you have any tips ( should I really spend $500 on a red dot? ) or share your experience when your eyes gave up on you, I appreaciate.
I think I just suck but I will remember your advice.
Vintage - Heaters shooting stars. I got big hands! I bought a ruger wood set from a member here. Thanks John!!DAMN James !! Take them grips off of that gun before it refuses to shoot anymore. Order some of the origional wood with Ruger logo,from Ruger for $34. Don't try to sneek them black plastic ones back on there . . . the gun will know.
Thanks ---- SAWMAN
