Appreciated, Suspect the problem is Firefox implementation on M1 Apple system, My iMac is Intel and Firefox goes to Buds on it just fine,

Yes I know, I works ok on my ancient iMac 27" Intel machine connected to same network, iPhobe 13 works too, Just not on M1 MacBook Air or iPad, That's why I asked...it is WEIRD! ps: What are you running and what is the version number of your Firefox? Am thinking it is something about how it runs on the M1 chip

M1 Macbook Air running Firefox and get a "Bad Request" error when trying to bring up Bud's Gunshop. -- https://www.budsgunshop.com Thought it might be a syntax error but logged into Bud's Gunshop using "Safari" on same computer and it worked fine, Then cut and pasted the address from "Safari" back into "Firefox" and go the same "Bad Request" error. Have noticed the same thing when running "Firefox" on my iPad Air. Doesn't seem to want me to log into Buds Gunshop while Safari allows it. So, any thoughts or can I just call it a _onspiracy of the unwashed elite? ps: This has been going on for a couple of months, Used to work on both machines,

Snap caps and dry fire against a safe, preferably white, object or wall. *Remember rule #2 You will see how your grip and trigger finger affect where the front sight goes at the moment the striker is let off. Adjust your grip and trigger finger until the front sight does not move when dry firing. Keep practicing that technique until it become automatic. edit: Glock's often leave marks on my hand if not using a glove or tape. Am more worried about where it shoots than an "owie." btw, My 1911 with fancy walnut grips does the same thing but because the checkering is so sharp.

At least 38 special in size. Possibly a S&W 40

Don’t be embarrassed, it just happens sometimes I think sometimes the govt just enjoys making things difficult for us Prayers your way let us know how it works out

10mm powder.? Man I don't think my RCBS powder measure can throw grains that big. Seriously, would think any of the Hodgdon or Winnie powders suggested for 40 SW should work fine https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/reloading-data-center?rdc=true&type=53 CFE Pistol, HP38 or Titegroup should all work well. I use CFE Pistol in 9mm, 38/357 and 45 acp Titegroup lasts longer per pound though and well...groups TITE.

Certainly not defending the manufacturers, but: Their military contracts have increased and are first priority. Retail ammo is second. Last priority are we poor reloading folk

Have seen prices a bit lowere here in Sevierville/Knoxville. GUYS, don’t just stock up. Shoot some of ‘em too.

Very informative post. 100% agree First time picking up a SIG 1911 fell in love with it. Served well. Eventually picked up one of their higher end models. Both very nice guns

Shiny with nice looking grips. Can’t think of anything else good to say.

Glad I passed o one last summer, Guess this means that now people who bought them last year when the ATF said they were legal, may be considered "Felons" And face all the penalties and deprivation of rights thereof. What else do people need to know about the current state of our "Democracy" ?

Just to add. My _itch isn't so much with Beretta but pretty much all "optics ready" guns, There are a few, like my Hellcat and the P365 which mount a red dot directly and thusly quite low, Properly redesigning the slide with a red dot as the primary sight would be a major change. Hopefully someone does it on a full sized target oriented handgun, Sorry to have pulled the discussion off topic and to my pet peeve, You may now return to your regularly scheduled broadcast,

Because the sight used in the pic sits too high. In my experience sitting so high makes it point unnaturally.

Pretty, now for my _itch. Manufactures just seem to throw on any old red dot. That Burris has to tall of a body, imo I stick with the shorter profile RDs so they are closer to bore axis. The tall ones make my presentation feel unnatural Someone buy them a Holosun Kx2 series. Heck, even a shield

Sold! Thanks Scott Really nice S&W Victory .22 as shown $325 cash. Original owner, was purchased 12/20 from Buds Gun Shop. Don't really count rounds on 22's but guessing about 800-900 Runs great and comes with an extra factory magazine and all original box stuffers ftf in Sevierville or nearby. Must present at legally able to own a firearm in the State of TN. Cash only, no trades (just got hit with VET bill) Leave personal message and will respond with my phone number. If interested I also have the Tandem Cross red dot adapter plate SEPARATELY for an extra $35 Thanks for looking

So it right the first time. If partial to the 1911 platform have one fitted. There are also higher capacity 2011’s out there

On top of an adapter plate it makes for a rather high sight over bore axis. It seems like a rather simplistic approach jmo

Thanks, I was wondering if it is a friction based system (no moving mechanical lock).* Apparently not so. However, it would be nice to see a drawing of how this system functions, Thanks for link is was helpful. *The mechanical delayed blowback principle on which it (Thompson Sub Machinegun) operated was made possible by the Blish Block system wsit: Blish not block. Siri hates me

Of the couple vids I saw, neither explained the mechanics of barrel lock up. Curious

Have had a few guns which were sold because my needs changed. Target handguns change as I progress in a particular discipline and a different gun would do me better. Defensive handguns also change because newer high cap yet smaller options become available (or sights options change) I have sold guns which just didn't fit me right or shoot well for me (seemed good in store but not when shooting).

Indeed it is. Still much more expensive than 9mm, which in my old mind, makes no sense, It is a worthwhile gun/caliber though, Have lots of fun!
