    Sidearms & Scatterguns Dan Wesson Specialist vs Springfield TRP Operator

    Maybe used the wrong example for the point. I own a TRP and it is not a bad pistol but I wouldn't compared it to my last purchase of a Les Bear. I wish I would have look more at a custom before I got the TRP. The TRPs and Wesson' s , Kimbers, etc,. They are getting into the 1450 to 1700 price...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Dan Wesson Specialist vs Springfield TRP Operator

    Thanks Gosu. The TRPs and Wessons are decent pistols. But the prices of some items are getting into custom prices. The resale of a Les bear will hold more value. It is like buying a Chevy at or just below Mercedes prices. Why??

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Dan Wesson Specialist vs Springfield TRP Operator

    Buy a Les Bear around 1900 VS. 1600 for a TRP or Wesson. The prices of the options brings you to a custom. Look close at prices and quality. You might want to spend 2 or 3 hundred dollars more and get something nice. My 2 CENTS.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Les Bear or Ed Brown 1911

    I ended up with a Les Bear UTC 5" model from CJ1911Heaven. He was great to deal with and ships on Monday. Look at the Ed Brown and it was another 800 bones and I might get one later. I think the Les Bear is an itch I have to do. John did talk about the guns are built tight. I will shoot enough...

    Ron Paul On Chris Kyle

    Re: Ron Paul On Chris Kyle That is the truth. You listen to him and think he is the guy. Then all sudden he says something way out in left field. Would not or could not vote for him. He is a wack job. Doesn't surprise me about his comment. This is another part of RP 25% of comments that is...

    Re: 260 small primers On hotter loads I normally get around 3 to 4 reloads on pockets. If you load moderate loads. You will not have an issue.

    260 small primers

    Would necking down 308 palma brass to get a small primer solve the primer pocket issue??? I would think that will let you get more firings on the brass. The large primers if loaded hot will stretch out. The small primer should give better results and solve the pocket stretching out. Any...
