I had 3 boxes of .45. To me it occasionally didnt seem to charge the weapon hard enough for it to go back all the way into battery.
Was it the Blazer Brass by chance? I have thought that about the brass myself. Seems like a slow burn or something...
-
One more positive about Blazer is that it is better than steel cased Wolf ammo IMO. The steel is much harder on the extractor than the aluminum or brass stuff.

If you dont reload the Balzer is fine. I bought all the Blazer Brass (.45) that wally world had this week.
Some say that Blazer is "Dirtier" than other ammo... but I claen my guns after a range visit anyway so that is not a deal killer for me.

Did the application & fingerprints on Dec. 24th ... Merry Christmas to me!
So today makes three weeks.
I'd applied for armed guard certification a few weeks before that - so my b/g check & fingerprints had already been run through some state system somewhere not long ago ... the girl at the fingerprint place told me that would help speed things along.
I turned mine in on the 22nd so maybe mine will come next week too. I called on 1/09 for the follow up call. I was told that everything was back except the BG.
-
Congrats..
When did you turn your stuff in?

I make a point to go by the GFA table at every gun show, just for the reason you stated above.
Dang I missed the sites at hte GFA table.
I do get caught "looking" at the table where they lady has all the M1 Garand parts though.
-
I went with two other guys and we were there an hour and half. All of us left with new bangmakers. Deals can still be found there imo.
-
I was printed on 12.2.08,just got off the phone with them and mine was issued on 1.05.09 it was not in the mail today.Maybe tomorrow.
Fingers crossed for ya
-
I will be there at 9am ... I hope that the guy I saw last time with a M1A is there again. If he is I will come home with it.
-
I just called... everything is back except the BG check. I was told that the wait is running a full 90 days. I will call again in 21 more days. It has been 20 days (today) since I turned in my fingerprints.

I like my Kimber's.. I have two pre-series II Kimbers and have added a Grand Raptor II (internal extractor)to the mix recently.
My two Compact (Compact Custom & Compact Aluminum) are both Great shooters for 4-inch barreled guns. They will feed about any ammo and I have never had any issues out of either of them. They are accurate as I can shoot and a great carry size firearm. However, I do change out the recoil springs (Wolff XP for 4-inch) every 800 rounds or so in the 4-inch guns just in case.
I hope to shoot the Raptor II soon to see if the Gen II gun will act the same as my other two. I know that they all have MIM parts in them but that is "ok" for now. I have only ever had one MIM part fail and that was in a Colt gun. I do hope to get an Ed Brown Kobra Carry soon... but I want to see what Phillip at Goodlettsville gun shop can do on a custom .45 first. My next .45 will not have MIM parts so that leaves Wilson, Ed Brown, Nighthawk, and a few other custom builders in the running.

Wow, that is most impressive! I applaud you for doing it the safe/natural way. That Sir is an awesome display of willpower, determination, and dedication.
-
great gun, and my gunsmith builds them for him. If you want one we can get you one done for about 1/2 price. It just wont have Ricks name on it.
Cool I will swing by your shop and look at your inventory. Shooting you a PM now.

Anyone here own a Uselton .45? They look pretty good but I woder if anyone can speak of the quality of the build. I have yet to see one in person.

I thought that it might have been the brass.
I will say that the batch I bought this week was much better looking brass.
