I'm looking for an inside-the-waistband kydex sheath for a CRKT Companion. Prefer a non-kydex loop with a solid anchor point.
Know any sheathmakers who could hook me up?

(yes, I get Bored...) out of the 100, 51 were 199.9gr-200.4, 26 were 199.0-199.8, 23 were 199.0-197.2gr....

I'll find out tommorow because I loaded 20 rounds, 5 in the 197s, 198s, 199s, and 200s...put in a ziplock so they'll be randomly loaded....

thing is, i'm sure this has been done and posted many times, I just couldn't find any threads about it... anyone know what I should expect,

I expect 1 1/2-2in more than normal at 25yds, but I bought these for plinking so 4in extra at 25yds wouldn't matter...

whats a normal weight range for higher end lead bullets?

I'm new to safes and I need some help.

I've only have about 4 long guns and a few pistols and plan on getting (hopefully) much more.
I want room to expand but not looking someting really BIG.



What size, what upgrades should I get?

Some places list the SW 1911 as 'large frame' which confuses me. I have small hands but my Springfield 1911 9mm fiits my hand great with thin grips and my Sig tacops 1911 (which i think I want to sell) also fits my hand great.

Anyone know? I of course cannot find a store anywhere to hold one and may order online but dont want to IF they are in fact larger frames.

My excuse is this is my very first foray ever into an all-stainless* Government Model. ;)

Gun in question: mid-80s Stainless GM. Should be silver medallions I'm pretty sure, but walnut grips or the wrap-around rubber from Radical Concepts? I searched online and GB to find a picture of an original one, no luck. So you guys have to help me.

The grip color is a hair off the scorpion finish. I'm thinking about pickup up green gunner grips which might match the g10 piranha grips well. It's a strider DB-L with desert gunner grips with CPM S30V tiger strip steel.

So happy I got this gun. consistently hit our 10 inch plate at 50yds, out of the box accuracy. Can never go wrong with a Sig.

Had a competition and easily beat Glock 22's, no surprise, but also out shot a Wilson Combat.

Very pleased. ]]> Sig Sauer PointMan12 http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=367665 http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=367664&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 04:27:52 GMT Hello from California.
