  1. Ed Brown magazines are checkmate magazines and very good in all calibers. There 8 round 45 are longer bodied and bot 7 round magazines made for 8 rounds. I just did the ED B exchange for six 9mm magazines. If you are sending about four or less the exchange isn’t worth it because you pay shipping both ways.

  2. Wilson Combat are the best in my experience for 45acp. Metalform and ActMag have done well for me.  My bad experiences have come from Triple K and Chip McCormick if I load more than six rounds in them.  A lot of other mags are Rebranded Checkmate magazines.  Kimber, Springfield, Ruger, and Ed Brown are just Checkmates, and they are okay.

  3. I had a RIA 10mm, and I want another one. It was a very reliable range toy.  I would have no concerns with depending on it for defense. I probably put 10 times the 40s&w rounds through it than I did the 10mm.

  4. I love a 45 acp revolver.  I will save you all the long, boring story.  Frankly, I love big bore revolvers, and the shorter the barrel the better. My newest is a circa 1983 24-3 Lee Horton 44Spl.  It came from the same collection as Spot’s new 22 Thunder Ranch.

  5. Cerakote holds okay on polymer frames. I don’t think I will ever mess with another one though.  It was kind of costly to just have it look worn after a year. Something I wish I would have tried is taking it back to black using Rit Dye when it showed heavy wear.

  6. You need the biggest caliber handgun you are willing to carry, and can shoot, if you aren’t carrying a rifle or shotgun. I would prefer to carry both.

    However, people tell me the 10mm has a huge following in Alaska to the point 10mm ammo is as common as 44mag nowadays. 
     

    Luckily for you the bears on Montana aren’t as big as kodiaks in Alaska.  I think a 10mm semi made by a reputable manufacturer will serve you well loaded with the correct ammo.

  7. It’s strange to me to think about going on vacation to Nickajack/Hale’s Bar. I’ve lived around the area most of my life. The restaurants are very average and all maintain some weird hours. 
     

    The unclaimed baggage in Scottsboro isn’t what it used to be. A friend of mine e says employees, family members, and friends all pretty much get to pick through stuff before it goes on the floor.
