    I'm trying to build a small, lightweight off hand shooter.
    I spent $145 on a used 1990's 10/22, $35 on a Volquartsen hammer (best money spent), $28 Hogue overmolded youth stock (on sale, taper...

    Others clone the CZ75, but the CZ75 is no clone of anything. Very different than the High Power.
    One downside to the 75 is the very short throat limiting cartridge lengths with bullets like the XTP...

    I don't care if a gun is plastic framed or all steel, just as long as it's 100% reliable and accurate. The only .45's that have met those standards for me are the poly framed HK's.

    I've had a 10/22 for many years, but it hardly feels like a classic. It is functional, but can also be very finicky when it comes to accuracy. The spray painted alloy parts can be disappointing. It's...

    Looking back on my notes I was using 5.8 grains 7625 with a Rainier 200 plated SWC @ 1.225" oal and got 760 fps with a 120 fps extreme spread, unburned powder and poor accuracy.

    I didn't have the best luck with 7625 in .45 with plated 200 grain SWCs. A lot of unburned powder and wide SD/ES numbers unless you push it. I always use jacketed data with plated, they always seem...

    If you come across a NEF/H&R 30-30, grab it. Not as elegant as a #1, but mine shoots cast bullets very well. It's an older model with an ejector and open sights. It has a short leade so you can start...

    Universal should be excellent in .38 spl. I use it for .38 spl type loads in .357 brass. Hodgdon's website has data or just google.

    I have some direct data as a test between the two, and it shows that it takes about a half grain more of Unique to equal the velocity of Universal in .357 with 158 JHP's or LSWC's.

    Grain for grain Universal does deliver more velocity than Unique in .357 so it's not surprising it has more recoil. I use 5.5 Universal under 158 plated. Anything less than 5.0 Universal leaves a lot...

    I use the .309" Magnus 115 LRN over 6.0 grains of Trail Boss (1100 fps) I coat the bullets in liquid alox to ​eliminate leading. If you don't have Trail Boss, Unique or Red Dot would be my choice.

    I've had good luck chucking a .40 caliber bronze bore brush in a cordless drill wet with FP-10. FP-10 seems to be a terrific cleaner for carbon fouling (and a darn good cold weather lube).

    I've owned 5 1911s.
    2 .45s
    2 .38 Supers (Colt & Les Baer)
    1 9mm
    The Supers were the only ones that were 100% reliable, plus it's a great caliber to load for.
