Re: Getting the most out of an alibi

Thank you all for your interest and your views. With an alibi you have to make a split decision concerning what you will do, take it or not. I chose to take it and I had what amounted to a double alibi, if there is such a thing. This is what occurred. I shot a 1 shot alibi. Next string 5 shots and a...

Getting the most out of an alibi

Safety problem Smith and Wesson model 41

I have this love hate relationship with my SW 41. This gun groups well for me, but often times when I am expecting the gun to go bang it does not because my grip is high in the web and the safety has been pushed up.

snap caps for dry firing my Rock River 1911

Regular snap caps won't fit into the chamber of my Rock River 1911. Therefore, I am reluctant to dry fire it. What would be an alternative? Can I shave some of the material from the snap cap. What are others doing who were confronted with this problem?
