Interesting. That won't actually "crimp", but it will size the finished round.
I guess it would work.

Thanks guys! I'll get in touch with them.

I like to use the Lee Factory Crimp Die on my reloads. I haven't been
able to find one for 9mm Makarov. Will the 9mm Luger one work?

I got to pick up my P64. Got it from SOG. I like it! It is a 1969. It is in decent shape. A few small scratches here and there, which is no big deal to me. I field stripped, cleaned, and oiled it. I promptly lost the grip screw nut which I found after searching my living room floor on my hands and k...

Welcome aboard! Congrats on your new P64.

smbob, Thanks for the heads up on the two sites you posted about. I have been to both sites, and they do have the best prices I have found for NIB RIA's, however, I mentioned above I was looking for a good deal, I guess I should have mentioned both of mine were bought used, LNIB, the 4" model ...

Norm, Love those grips, Gun Guys right, I have a couple of the same grips on some of my 1911's. BTW I still looking for a decent deal on a RIA compact, the one's I have seen lately are by Citidel. Papa, Centerfire Systems and Bellshire Hardware on Gunbroker have the lowest prices on RIA's that I ha...

Thanks fellas. I really like this MS. I'm going to put some better sights
on it soon. RIA makes some nice 1911's. You can't beat them for the $.

I recently picked up a Rock Island Armory MS 4" 45 ACP. I have always wanted a Colt Commander, but could never afford one. Although this Philippine made 1911 is anything but a Colt in many people's minds it is close enough for me. The quality of the pistol is real good. I'm really impressed wit...

I quit going to gun shows near me. $10 to park $12 to get in. I'm already down $22 and I just walked through the door! I'm steaming mad already! I get inside and all I see is old crappy rusty ammo cans. Overpriced beef jerky. Everything, and I mean everything, associated with firearms was way way wa...

Papabear, I'm green with envy! :mrgreen: I really miss my Star PD. Those BM's are awesome too! DFunk, Thanks for the kind words. My 24/47 scout setup shoots under 1" at 100 yards all day long with M75 Yugo Sniper 8mm ammo. The POSP 24/47 is fun to shoot too. It isn't a paper punching scope. The...

This might help some.

Man Papabear! That chart pretty much covers just about every way I shoot a handgun! All at once!

Thanks for the kind words Papabear! That's a beautiful Llama! I really have a thing for Spanish pistols. If I lived in a state where I could buy any one of them that I wanted instead of C&R only, ie 50+ years old, I would get every one that I could get my hands on. Star & Llama. Robert

Guys, I really appreciate the input, links, etc.! Although Wolf may or may not be perfectly fine, based on what I'm reading here there appears to be enough of a controversy about it that I think I'm going to feel more comfortable with Silver Bear and/or S&B. Both are reasonably priced @ $11 to ...

Mosins are cool! Very addicting too. I don't do well with iron sights, so I use a S&K scout mount with a Simmons 4X32mm Pro Hunter pistol scope. It will hold right around 1" 5 shot groups at 100 yards from the bench with 203gr Silver Bear SP ammo. Robert http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...
