I've had a few keltecs over the years; mostly pf9s and p3ats. I had to polish the feed ramps on most of them to make them work to my liking. Use 500 grit then step to 800 grit wrapped around a dowel sanding in the direction the bullet slides. Then hit it with some metal polish. If I come up on a deal I will have another pf9.

After seeing some of ur collection I must "Yet again Desert Rat, I'm jealous".

So far I havnt had any trouble finding holsters I like. The owb holster I got is an itac paddle with the button to release. Also known as rsr defense or imi defense I think. Have one for my 27 that I like a lot. They angle the gun a bit far from u at the top for my liking but works much better than the blackhawks imo. Would like to get a safriland but I forget the model. For an iwb I ordered a comp-tac infidel. Have one of those for the 27 also which I use often. Like the infidel for ease of use and simplicity. I'm hoping it will show up before the week end. Got a schrader 3.5 connector in it this evening which I like. I also got an ny1 trigger spring but I'm not sure the ny1 will stay. Got it after looking around the net at popular trigger mods though I'm not really seeing why people like the heavier take up. Guess I'll run a few rounds through it see if my opinion changes.

a while back i posted that i was having trouble deciding between Glock 20sf 21sf and XD45. well i narrowed it down to the 21sf with pic rail and night sights. The main reason for the Glock "PARTS ARE EVERYWHERE". I'm not sure the pic rail over the regular glock rail i could have chose either. The pic rail is more pronounced and can grab on things instead of sliding smoothly. So far the only drawback is this is my first handgun with night sights that still work, now i want night sights on everything else.

:eek:Well the winner is Glock 21sf. i still haven't shot a sf but i've shot many glocks and haven't found one i don't like. I have short chubby hands but i can work a regular 21 with no problems. All the parts being available pretty much won this battle. After i narrowed that down i had to pick which rail and sights so... After some coin tossing i ordered pic rail with night sights. Holsters aren't as widly available for the pic rail version but the holsters i want are available. The new toy is on order and should be here today or tomorrow.

did it but got my marker on the wrong side of town some how

The tote around factor mentioned by Lester is the reason I suggest the celestron ultima 60 and not the bigger 80. I have and use the 80 but it is a chunk. After talking to people on forums I'm convinced the 60 would be a better all around option. The picture through my 80 is pretty darn nice for the price. The only thing I have not seen mentioned is mirage. For the range on a warm day the heat coming off the ground shows up on all spotters regardless of price. On these warm days mirage will render a 1000 dollar spotter useless just as much as a 100 dollar one.

My vote goes to the Celestron Ultima 60.

I think the xd tactical is winning the battle. Moped stop it 1911 is bad for my marriage.

if you are just punching paper sounds like 223 would be great for you. although 308 holes are much easier to see; the .223 would be much more to fun play with and a bit cheaper.

i really had glock on my brain. help i'm being pulled the other dark side. ( it's really a coin toss between glock and xd to me) both the xd and xdm feel great to me. So what your likes and dislikes between xd and xdm?

I agree, the PM45 is a nice conceal gun but that's not what i'm after. My want for this purchase is: full size plenty of power semi auto reliable easy to pull apart and clean easy to find parts for if i ever need them aftermarket following for upgrades like sights, barrels........ uses: carry in holster on the farm and in the woods of course it will add to the home defense collection i'll have to do a little paper punching with it but i don't get to do that as often as i would like

I'm begining to lean back toward 45. i did check most of my online ammo stops and there seems to be a good selection of 10mm available and i don't think the 10mm caliber will dissappear. Not much 10mm selection in the local shops of course.

I'm wanting a full size "holsterable" hand gun in 45 acp. A 1911 is not an option cause i have an addiction to customize everything i own. That would turn a 1911 into a money pit. So my brain has been able to narrow it down to: glock 21sf springfield xd 45 springfield xdm 45 but then a little voice said "man a 10mm auto would be sweet". So a glock 20sf was added to my list. Now i can't get the 20sf out of my head. I've weighed all the positives and negatives between the calibers: 45 is a little cheaper, plentiful, and really can't go wrong with it. 10mm is well 10mm, i've never had one, can hunt with it i think, can get a 40 conversion barrel. i already have a g27 that if i got rid of i'ld just get another one so if i got into reloading i could fuel the 10mm cheaper ( i don't think that reason weighs much though). i don't get to shoot much so cost difference in ammo isn't really a huge factor. I know this isn't really a question that can be answered i just wanted to vent. The wife would just roll her eyes and say no you can't have both. making decisions SUCKS

#1 g27 i've swapped around a lot of guns since i got it still in search of #2. i was a fond of a air weight 38spl but it got swapped off. may be another air weight or something similar in my future or a full size glock/springfield 45acp, i havn't had one of those yet, or maybe a 1911 45, or maybe ..................

got one for my wife and after playin with it i now have one also. i had not heard great things about their reliability but after a quick feed ramp polish both have worked great.

i have both. the 870 is a tighter made gun. i also have a mossy 835 i've been thinkin about trading to 870 super mag. niether has ever gave me any problems so reliability wise i say they are equal.

most bore solvents (ex butches bore shine) do strip the paint off. then it is just spray paint; easy to touch up. i put a rag over my stock while cleaning to keep solvents and oils off of it.

the snake skin look does turn out looking sweet!!!

i trade guns around and i have more variety in ammo than i do guns to shoot it. handgun only 22lr 22mag 38sp 380 9mm 40sw

i've seen a few nice ones with the snake skin pattern. gotta try that next

By request from some pics i put up earlier. How To Rattle Can Camo Yes after you drag your gun around the finish will get worn a bit but i have been amazed at the abuse it can take. Stuff needed: rubbing alcohol, few rags, masking tape, scotch brite pad, ear plug, card board cut into various strips (used a shoe box from the wifes collection), and desired camo colors (the ultra flat krylon stuff works great) heres my card board strips i like to take the barrel/action, and all small bolt on parts such as butt pad and bottom metal out of the stock and paint these seperate. This provides for much nicer finished product i do not take the scope, rings, and base apart. i leave these peices on the action. May just be me but i don't want anything extra such as paint on these mounting surfaces. !! REMEMBER THE PREP WORK IS VITAL TO A NICE FINISHED PRODUCT !! 1. tape off everything you do not want painted; such as numbers on scope. cover or plug any threaded holes. if your rifle is bedded also tape off the bedded surfaces on the action/barrel and stock 2. take the bolt out and tape off any of it you don't want painted. 3. stuff a rag into the action to keep paint from getting in there. 4. put ear plug in the barrel. it should expand enough to also keep paint off the crown vitals. 5. clean everything you want to paint by rubbing it down with the rubbing alcohol 6. scuff everything you want to paint good with the scotch brite pad. this gives the paint something to bite to and the finish will last much longer. I avoid scuffing the very end of the barrel (the crown). make sure to get all the little recesses, nooks, and crannies. 7. clean everything again by rubbing it down with rubbing alcohol and avoid touching anything with your bare fingers. (Paint doesn't stick to oily finger prints well) 8. lay or hang everything out and paint with your base coat (for mine i like to use tan as the base). do a couple-three coats follow the directions on the can. Don't try to get it all covered with your first coat of paint. multiple light coats work much better than trying to glob it all on in one coat. 9. let everything dry for a little while. If you're using the Krylon camo it dries to the touch fast. 10. if you laid everything out rotate all your parts and paint the other side. let that dry 11. scatter the card board strips randomly over your parts and spot paint or tiger stripe the next desired color over the strips. let dry for a couple minutes. 12. pick up the strips 13. repeat step 11 with the next color. then repeat steps 11-12 till all the desired colors have been used. 14. rotate the parts and repeat steps 11-13 again 15. once you're done painting pull the tape off, ear plug out the barrel, and rag out of the action 16. it's best to let the paint dry for a few hours but i never can wait. if the paint is dry enough reassemble the rifle. 17. let the paint cure for a couple days before hitting the woods. You can also do stincels here's another one i did the stock on a while back if you have questions ask.
