Acquisitions!

[Jim Kennedy-ar154me]

Where can I find that load data? I’m looking for dies and components

I know Lee makes does for it and I do remember seeing load data in the Hornaday books. Midway does carry Lee but so do a lot of others.

So, my acquisition is paid for with the sell off of my Ruger LCR with a few holsters and ammo I wasn’t using. 

New holster and ammo at ungodly prices was my only expense!

Cool, Timothy.   I sold off my Shield to buy my XL.  I did put the standard grip on it after I got back from Sig EDC and I love it for IWB.  The 10rd grip hardly prints at all and yet I've got the full 3.8" barrel/slide.

Yes, I’m kinda regretting not going that direction….  Too late!

Took a few days and a belt adjustment to get used to the weight differential from the LCR.  At least it’s not dragging me drawers down like the P6 or the 1911!

OK.  How about an update on that Sig and that 30 cal Blackhawk?

It eats everything I feed it!  Wish the trigger was better but my LCR trigger spoiled my booger hook…. Been on me or within reach since break in!

Note;  the trigger reset is fine but that first DA pull pretty much blows.

My Blackhawk is a bowling pin slayer and brick shattering little monster. I haven’t had this much fun with a wheel gun in years. I’ve taken shots out to 100 yards with 80% success rate. Shave cream cans and Shasta bottles explode violently with boring regularity😂

Well, you can't have everything I suppose?  Have you looked to see if there is a "dremel tool" fix for it?

Just like it's supposed to be!!

not really a new acquisition but rather new application...new glasses after cataract surgery... WOW being able to see is a really cool phenomenon... local Steel Challenge club puts on a practice match every Friday... $2 entry to cover a little paint...you can run each of 3 stages twice...I picked up a Glock G44 (.22lr) a couple of years ago, but shot it mainly at the indoor range where I could not draw from a holster...picked up a couple of 18 round ProMags (PIA to retract the follower to load, but I fooled it and drilled a 5/16 hole through it and slip a punch through to retract the follower)... stuck it in a Blade Tec kydex holster and shot the SC format from a holster with low ready draw...

wanted to give me an option for a rimfire rifle irons division, but didn't have a .22 with a front sight.. I have a back up CMMG dedicated 16" upper AR... but my new vision did not like to focus on a flip up front sight on the hand guard rail... wanted a little more distance... the CMMG barrel does not have a front sight tower, but I had a spare laying in the parts bin... my cousin has a good small milling machine, so we tapped the existing hole, and drilled and tapped the bayonet lug for 8/32 hex set screw ... indexed the front sight to the center of the receiver and stuck on a carry handle rear sight... gun is much heavier than the plastic SW 15-22s but it is what I am used to ... shot well

Good deal on the surgery Les.  I'm glad it went well for you.
