I picked up six 15 round MecGar mags. I was hoping to find the nickel-plated ones but they seem to be out of stock everywhere. I bought mine from Bud's as they seemed to have the best price.

The Postal Service is supposed to operate in the black. It's been that way for a long time.
Also the Postal Rate Commission sets the rates.

I've been a Costco member since the mid 80's.
We buy all our meat there, as well as butter, milk, coffee, and a few other items.
Most of our grocery shopping takes place at HEB.

If you want/like the rail it's good to go.
I have the standard PCC and the Charger version. I shoot both quite a bit and have never had a problem,

If that's the case it's just a package difference.
It keeps people who don't know they are the same from bombing their email and phone lines with stupid questions.
Forget the Girsan. I'll pick up the Springfield Armory version. I have a feeling that the SA product is going to stomp the Girsan version.
I've signed up for stock notifications at several places.
I'm a bit upset that SA didn't have them available for purchase on the announcement date.
I've got spare mags coming and a set of G-10...

Treat things you hear at the local gun shop just as you would the headlines on the National Enquirer.

A quick hit of Hornady One Shot makes it a LOT easier on my shoulder.
I've yet to have to clean the sizing die using One Shot. My 9mm sizing die has over 100K run though it and the 45 ACP has...

I've been using a 5/1 with a bit of added tin for 45 ACP and 9mm.
Mostly using Hi-Tek.

As a 100% disabled Veteran I receive a free Super Combo pack from Texas. It's EVERYTHING I need other than a Federal duck stamp.
It's supposed to.
But short brass should be held by the extractor.
It's why you can fire a .380 cartridge in a 9mm pistol.
The same mold here. I size to .357.
This boolit is VERY accurate in every 9mm firearm I've ran it though...that's over two dozen different firearms.
I'm betting it's the ogive of your boolit. Try dropping sized brass in the case gauge.
I have went with a EGW 100 round "fat ogive" case gauge for 9mm. If my rounds drop in and out of that they...
The month before the China Flu hit I bought 10K of Winchester SPP at a local shop for $30/1000.
This shop consistently had prices that were as low as or lower than most of the major supply houses....
I really want to see the Girsan Hi-Power. A guy I shoot with bought one of the Tisas models and it was pretty rough. It took a lot of work and parts swapping to get a gun that would run 100%.

When Remington first moved the Marlin production they had very real and serious problems.
By the time they got them straightened out Remington was circling the drain.

You measured 9mm brass???
I've loaded over 100K of the stuff and never measured a case.
I'd guess it's just like all that Federal .223 brass out there that's much shorter than the trim to...
