I have the Tactical version I purchased about 10 years ago. It's a standard 5" slide profile. I purchsed mine directly from Marvel for around $300, with an extra magazine, base pads and a magazine loading tool. Came in a nice padded nylon zippered case, with compartments for each of the parts. ...

Sooty cases

Bamo, I have been having similar trouble in my S&W 52, sooty cases and lead buildup in the front of the chamber. Using 2.7gr of BE with 148gr cast WC. Maybe my load is too light also, causing blowback. I never considered too light of a load causing chamber leading. I will try upping the load a f...

I have a 45ACP Clark Long Heavy Slide from 1983. I use a Wolff 6" spring. I purchased a spring calibration pack consisting of 5 springs numbered from 1 to 5. There are no poundage markings for the springs. I think Wolff still makes this calibration pack. 3.8 gr of Bullseye was about as light as...

The bulk or promotional ammo is usually from rejected lots of first line ammo. This doesn't mean it's junk, often the average velocity of that lot is slightly higher or lower, or shot to shot variation is greater than what the manufacturer's specs call for, so they won't sell it as first line ammo. ...

I put a double port compensator on one of my 45 cal 1911's several years ago for IPSC shooting. I never noticed any change of accuracy, but here are two things I learned in the process. First, normal bullseye loads will not function the gun. 3.8 gr Bullseye loads will not even unlock the breech usin...

Diopter sights on HW air rifle

I have a HW air rifle with the HW match aperture rear sight, and the tunnel front sight. The airgun is used for 10m shooting, and outdoor plinking at various ranges, so I am trying to stay with the post insert instead using of the aperture insert. The aperture that came with the rear sight is 1.6mm,...

In my experience there is no accuracy difference between the 185gr and the 200gr bullets. You may have to adjust your powder charge to realize this. Some like the 200gr bullets for slow fire at 50 yds, as they buck the wind better. Many good shooters I have known, tend to go the other way, as upping...
