EPS “Pershing” model 1911 holster that arrived yesterday.
Attached to the M1910 belt.
Suddenly I feel like chasing Villaistas.

That 1911 is a beauty. 1911 is on my wishlist. I want to get one for an EDC.

Purchased a couple of months ago but my PRS rifle finally arrives this week. I'll post pictures once I get it. It's an MPA Matrix Pro-2 6.5 CM. Other than that recently I purchased 4 ammo cans, a PMA Tool Bore guide, and 10 boxes of 6.5 CM ELD match ammo. I still need to get a rear sand bag, some extra mags, a range backpack, and a bipod. This sport got expensive really fast and I haven't even started yet lol.

I just got my first pistol red dot, definitely a learning curve.

Ordered a C&S light pull sear spring for the Ruger LW SR1911 plus a lighter (going to try 15lb) recoil spring. I shoot powder puff loads.

My Ruger SR1911 has the heaviest recoil spring I’ve ever felt in a 1911! I still have less than 1,000 rounds through it, but I thought it may smooth out a bit by now. It seems to cycle my “popcorn fart” reloads ok, but it sure seems heavy.

Today, I ordered 200 rounds of Remington Core-Lokt 35 REM, 200 grain, soft point directly from Remington.com. The lowest price on Ammoseek was that of a sole seller trying to get $99.99 per box plus shipping & tax. The Remington site was selling it for $67.99 per box of 20 plus shipping and tax. I got 10 boxes of 20 rounds each for $449.71 or $44.97 per box of 20 including tax and free shipping. Went through ExpertVoice.com and got 40% off the retail price by using the discount code I got there. Not that I liked to pay that amount, I would much prefer the pricing from when it was less than $25.00 per box, even less than $20.00 per box but while it is high now, if you want it take it at the best price you can find when you see it. So I grabbed it.

Ordered a 7 round magazine from Beretta for my Tomcat 3032. It was on sale for $20.00; I would have ordered two or three except for the fact that I ordered 200 rounds of Remington Core-Lokt 35 REM 200 grain SP yesterday and that was a big bite out of my pocketbook. I also expect to possibly drop oodles of cash in a firearms auction this weekend, so I need to watch any additional sending before then..

Misc springs.
Time to replace recoil springs on some of the semi pistols.

I'm going to ask a dumb question but I'm asking for real.




How do you know if the recoil spring needs to be replaced?

This just came today

You don’t. Most springs depending upon the application have a fatigue limit or limited life. Thus, manufacturers (of firearms) will recommend a round count for spring replacement that is less than the calculated failure rate of the spring (preventative maintenance).

I think you will like it but it does take a little practice to get the right sight picture.

Got a blaze USA made backpack for $40 from botach (yes, it actually arrived within a week).

Picked up 1k IMI M855 for $400 locally.

Last month I bumped up my 9mm supply significantly at 21¢/rd.

 

[Iowashooter]

A grip plug for my Glock 21

 

[Lonesome Dove]

Got another small batch of some 9mm just now.

 

[smittyb]

2 Holosun 503CU red dots for my Glock mag AR’s.
I’m upgrading the 9 to shake awake, and want to keep them matching.

Ordered a Eotech G33.
