    I've never owned a Rock Island, but I own a Springfield Ultra-Compact that is pretty much the same thing. It locks up really tight as well, but still runs reliably, so I'm sure yours can as well. I...

    I picked up a Sig M17 the other day. I've never really warmed up to the P320 due to the lack of a thumb safety like almost every other handgun I own. Immediately swapped to my shorter slide and...

    Like most here, I think two powders is the answer. Titegroup should work fine for the first, and probably 2400 or w296/h110 for the second.

    They are really nice guns, but let mine go before I started casting. I let mine go for a pre-64 Win 94, so I can't complain, but I still miss it. I definitely considered it an OWB gun, but I felt...

    If you don't mind me resurrecting an old thread, how did they shoot?

    I've had my eye on that mold for 38 Super and 9mm as well, and a brass mold from Mihec would be awesome.

    That is very generous and I appreciate it, but I think I'm willing to chance a SWC mold at this point. Most of our 45's are 1911's, and one of the P220's has a semi-permanent 22lr conversion on it. ...

    Looking for a new 45 ACP mold

    I'm trying to decide between a 230gr RN or a 200gr SWC.

    I think I would prefer the lighter SWC, but I've got a lot of 45's and don't tailor my loads for each pistol. I'm afraid the SWC might...
