Can't speak on duty belts as I don't use one, but if looking for an off duty/CCW belt, no one makes a better belt then The Belt Man belts:

Gun Belts by The Belt Man

They may cost a tad more, and you may have to wait a while to get one (as each is made to order) but they are the finest belts made, will last a life time, look great, and secure your gear as it should be, using a proper made belt.

I have 3 belts from this place, have tried may other brands (none to my long term satisfaction) and can recommend the Belt Man without reservation.

Anyone who CCWs 24/7, year in and year out, will tell you a good belt (and holster) is everything to comfort and concealment.

I see a lot of people using crappy belts off duty/CCW, and you don't know what you are missing in comfort and security if you have not used a high quality gun belt.

Yeah I have reloaded for years. Already bought a set of dies for it. Im going to try some IMR 4350 and H 4831 and see which one performs better in the gun. Both get over 3200fps.

I love reloading my own brass.
If I use factory .45 I can't hit shit but my loads are one on top of the other. I could group 5 rounds within two inches at 15 feet with my reloads. But I use a light charge so they fire off slow as shit. You can almost see the bullet leaving the gun!

I know what you mean. a buddy of mine reloads his .45's like that. did you have cycling problems at all? have to change out a spring or was everything just fine?

No issues. I didn't go below the minimum charge specified by the Hornady data. I used exactly the minimum. It improved the accuracy and still ejected and cycled the rounds with no problem.

Alright guys. I'm looking to replace the fixed 4x scope on my .308 winchester model 70 featherweight. I'm looking at going with this Redfield Revolution Riflescopes
3x9x40 with the Accu-Range Reticle. if you have any other suggestions or thoughts on what I should also take a look at I'm happy to listen

I also have a Sig P200. Hobby gets expensive these days if you don't reload. My brother has all the reloading equipment, so when I moved away I lost access. I'm gonna have to break down and get my own one of these days. I like the new Sig elites, too. They really make great guns.

So I went out and got this rifle scope. And I love it. other than working with cabella's it's a great scope. I've got it mounted on my model 70 featherweight .308 and it really makes for a nice set up. I'll try and take a picture of it and post it up here. it really looks nice.

Bought a Ruger P95 shortly before Christmas. My present to myself. Shoots really well. Accuracy is decent. Being a 9mm it's reasonably cheap to shoot.

Now I'm putting money aside to get a revolver. Probably a .357 so there's a wider selection of ammo to load it with.

This is going to be my next gift to myself and you can pick them up on gunbroker.com for ~$1300.

So went shooting today and shot a m-1 garand from 1941. amazing piece of history there. loved the 'ping' after the last shot. one of the few things hollywood hasn't totally butchered. what an amazing day. m1 garand, m14, and ar10 all shot today. what an amazing day!

This is very true. I have 2 made to custom fit my gun as I'm always carrying.

Awesome. I shot a AK-47 a guy at the range let me shoot his. That gun was absolutely awesome and accurate. I love AR's, I have a custom AR-15, things a blast to shoot and fun hitting things 300+ yards away!

 

[SloppyJ]

I had a shitty day at the range. I took my colt new agent and my S&W bodyguard out. I let my friend shoot my colt and I went to rack a round afterward. The fucking recoil sping is fucked and I cannot get the slide back enough to dis-assemble it. I'm fucking pissed. Guess I have to send it back to the factory. Awful grinding noise when I try to move the slide back. And the recoil spring and rod are crooked. and recessed.

Accurate AK? Damn. I had a romainian WASR and it was shot all over the place. But whatever it hit, it mowed down.

 

[JCBourne]

This AK was dead accurate with iron sights. My AR is the one in the avatar.

 

[jagbender]

I used to shoot Bullseye competition, I have several Custom target guns.

I love my 1911's My custon .45 will shoot 10 shot groups @ 50 YARDS 1 7/16 inchs center to center, From a ransom rest. Much better than my abilities.

I shot competition for several years.

Also the 1911 forums mentioned above.

 

[jagbender]

Shooting a gun well is really easy, you just need to master trigger control and sight alignment together. easy to say hard to do.

You will generally get better info, and less wanna be SEAL/ninja noise, at M4Carbine.net

So anyone ever dealt with colt on a repair job? I have to send my 1911 back to them because I assume the guide rod is shattered. I cannot disassemble to verify. The guy on the phone told me 2 weeks after they recieve. That seems a little overzealous to me.

1911s don't need a guide rod nor were they intended/design to have one. Why can't disassemble? Throw away broken guide rod, buy basic spring plug online, problem fixed. Colt has had known terrible CS back in the day (one of various reasons they lost most of their market share...) but have not heard anything recently on that. Does not sound like things have improved.

Buying advice I give everyone (to which they then ignore cause they don't believe me) as there are various good 1911s, always choose the company known for great CS, because unless you are a smith, they will need work of some kind at some point.

I can't disassemble it because the slide won't come back far enough because it's hung on the guide rod/spring and I can't pop the pin out. I have a 3" new agent. Apparently I'm not the only one who's had this problem. Except most aren't this bad. I'm not sure what happened but it's fucked off. I have a feeling it's bad by the grinding noises it's making when i move the slide. Hopefully they take care of me.

If not, I'll never buy another colt.

Colt makes some great guns, but their CS has always been sub par. Back in the day, they were the only company that made quality 1911s, but that has not been the case for a long time, so one can get a great 1911 from a company with great CS, they should.

We will find out. The dude didn't hesitate to send me replacement parts for free. But then I told him I couldn't take it down and he said just to send it in. So far so good, but this is just the begining.
